Is my test prop absorbing at all?

I took my first shot of test prop about a week ago so I've had 3 pins so far. Each time I inject everything is fine for the first 16 or so hours but after that I'll get this hard knot at the injection site. It's a sharp pain when I touch it or move, but somehow I can bypass it to lift so it's not that bad. After a couple of days the knot does end up going away.

I'm worried because I have not felt anything yet. My first weekend I gained 3lbs but that was all water weight. My weight has been fluctuating between 5lbs of water weight throughout the week. However I haven't gained any strength, sex drive, or mood differences. Also my nuts are the same size as always.

Could my injection technique be so bad that it's not absorbing at all? Does prop normally take this long to kick in? I've read people reporting test sides within 2-5 days
 
Yes it's absorbing. Most hormones uptake faster if injecting intra-muscular but, will still release if inject sub q, or in the fatty layer for the laymen.

The only big difference is the rate at which the hormone gets into circulation. Intra muscular being faster.

If you have knots it could be a multitude of things, the first guess would be virgin muscle or reacting to a foreign substance in your body. This should go away with time.

Secondly it could be tyre carrier oil the lab usesl, ba/bb content, EO or just bad technique when pinning.

What is the length of the pin you're using? If the oil does sit in tyre fatty tissue it can cause some serious irritation, especially since its prop.
 
It's in there. Be patient bro. Even with Prop it can take a couple weeks to really get going. 3 pins is nothing.

And Montego has it nailed here. Probably just a combo of virgin muscle and shaky hand. You'll get better.
 
Okay, I am using a 1" all around. This is my first cycle so the virgin muscle theory does make sense. My injection technique is a little shotty. For arms it's a bit easier to get the pin just about all the way in, but for quads I go just past halfway in cause I'm scared to hit a nerve there.

Is the difference in absorption really significant? Maybe I was expecting it to work too fast though after reading people saying they felt it in two days, I'll work on the patience
 
Nobody is really feeling test in two days. Placebo maybe but really elevated levels from prop after two days......no. Not even a no ester Test can make a consistent change throughout an entire day that quickly due to the short half life.

Sounds like you need to do some more research.
 
There are definitely more nerves in the quads. I just avoid my right quad all together, hit one about every time. But never in the left. But I always bury the 1" PIN. Hitting a nerve isn't the end of the world, gives a little twitch, pull out and relocate. I've even hit a nerve and said F it and just injected past it.

When you say arms, do you mean delts or biceps where you're injecting?
