HELP!! Been using wrong size pin!!!

[mthomps5]

Boy do I feel stupid.
I am on my first cycle of injectable gear and I am running 400mg/week of test cyp.

I recieved all my pins from the same source that i recieved the gear (definantly legit-100%) I also never saw the box the pins came in. All the pins were properly and individually sealed with safety caps so i was not worried about it.
I was told they were 22 guage 1" pins for my glutes (i am pretty lean)

Well i am just starting my 4th week on the test cyp, and i have had noticable strength gains but not much in weight.

**** I just saw the box and found out that they are in fact 22 guage 3/4 inch pins. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got some 1.5" pins to continue the remainder of my 12 week cycle.
Despite that i am fairly lean (not sure on bf%) HAVE I BEEN WASTING ALL MY GEAR UP TO NOW???? I have been burying the pins fully in but still....3/4" on glutes???? Has it all been a waste?????

No as long as you got it in the muscle your good. Some people like to go real deep but it would be pretty hard to just miss. Your fine

not really... the reason you need to go deep is one to make sure you pass the fat and shoot it into the muscle. the other is so that it doesnt leek back out and that will be waisting it. but you are right, go with at leased 1" i use 1.5". hope this helps.

well I always bury the pin completely in and than some (i know thats not the safest, but i knew it was a little pin--just not that little) I have never had it leak our, and i never bleed more than a few pin size drops. I am moving up in pin size....but you think the other size was good enough to get IM?

Your gear's not wasted, but it won't absorb the same way as it would if it had been shot intra-muscularly.

What up Az?

You saying 3/4 didn'y get to the muscle. If that's the case then you may just have a prob. That's not good but I would have thought you'd need a decent amount of bf% to keep it from getting to the muscle. Did you feel it enter muscle it feels quite different than fat.

Well, this being my first injectable cycle...and the only pins i have used..i dont know the diff. in hitting muscle and fat. I am no more than 10% bf and the pins have always gone in easy..so i dunno....i have gotten alot stronger but not much weight gain yet. only beginning of week 4

Cyp for me didn't really kick in until late in the 4th week, so that's no way to gauge whether it worked or not yet. If your only 10% your prob alright
(but remember I don't really know for sure). Just switch pin size and good luck your test should really be kickin in any time.

you guyz fuckin rule....thanks a ton. thats alot of anger and stress of my shoulders. any other thoughts are always welcome.

Even if you injected into fat you will still get the benfit of the gear it will be just alot slower being absorbed!
