I know people are injecting test sub-q can all steroids be injected sub-q?
-
Yeah.
Also: It's better and safer than IM. Less scar tissue, no nerves or major veins in the way, etc.
-
A buddy of mine does his trt this way and says he uses less this way and that it’s much more comfortable. Weird because I always heard how test needed to be injected IM.

Turns out that was always bullshit.
I'm still pissed off about it.
I switched to SubQ about two years ago. Before that, I was doing IM exclusively. There's literally no difference in anabolic effect, but my delts are full of scar tissue from IM injections, and SubQ is 1000x easier. You can also use a 27g needle for it.

Ya me too, I have a golf ball sized knot on one delt that when people put their hand on my shoulder they are like wtf :(
-
No problemo. If using UG some roids may not be very suitable but well made test when I was fat I could do a ml in my belly easily, never any pain, welts, bruises or swelling. Many old juicers refuse to try anything new though. Tip: use the detachable needle on insulin syringes instead of trying to draw with a solid insulin rig or backloading.
You can hit lean parts like delts like a normal IM, it becomes a 'shallow injection' instead of purely subq.
Also, these insulin pins for pens are too small now!
-
Been doing it for TRT purpose for over a decade, so only .5ml at a time and use the skin on my butt close to my waist. Using skin near your abs in my experience you get more inflammation but it works fine with low volume actual TRT types dose. No way I could TRT still doing IM.

Hell no but to each his own

Why not?

Once got a sub q lump due to a sustenon shot with a short needle. Took years to disappear.

you can break it down with dep tissue massage , blading or a massage gun

You have shit gear.
-
Well I’ve had it for at least 10 years and haven’t pinned my delts in more than 10 years so if it was its long past

I used pharma-grade gear directly from the pharmacy almost exclusively. Testoviron, etc.
Still have lots of scar tissue from frequent IM injections, particularly in the delts. Zero issues with SubQ.

Scar tissue is not unusual, lumps are from shit gear. I've been injecting IM into delts for years with zero issues. Ive injected traps, chest, glutes, ventro glute, glute, quad and now I stick with delts. Only time I've gotten a lump that lasted for a week was when I tried UG Geneza TE, garbage, three vials into the garbage.

I was on TRT a few years ago and started out with IM injections in my upper legs. It worked great but my legs hurt for a while after the injections. I was careful to keep the legs relaxed during the injection. I would alternate left and right.
Then I started SQ injections. The uptake was slower and sometimes the oil leaked out of the injection sites. I used a smaller gauge needle (I think 27 or 28) and 1/2" long.
How do you prevent the compound from leaking out and being wasted?
Do you combine HCG with testosterone? I did 500 UI twice per week (also SQ insulin needles), along with test twice per week - around 150-200 mg total.

I once injected 3 cc`s of Sustanon into m right glute................... .............looked like a fucking egg was on my ass.............couldn` do crunches for almost a month.
I asked IFBB Pro Dave Marineli about it and he said the pain was from Propionate..........I personall think I just should have broken up the shots since I`m a small dude.

Leave the needle in for a few seconds after you've emptied the syringe.
Immediately after you pull the needle out, gently pull on the skin next to the injection site. Doesn't really matter what direction you pull in; this will block the oil from escaping. Then, after a dozen seconds, cover it with an alcohol pad and you should notice no leakage.

Just shoot the outside of your glute with insulin needle same spot and method as IM just smaller needle and dose you get a little lump that dissipates but no leaking as your deeper than subcut but not as deep as traditional IM , works well no scarring.
