If you used 5/8 and did not go deep enough..and injected above the muscle....what would happen? Would it eventualy get absorbed? Would you feel something?

Kinda depends on what it is and the half life of it. If it's an esterized compound then most likely youl'll get some benefit but nowhere near what you would if you shot IM, basically it's not getting into the bloodstream easily and should get washed out of the fat quickly not giving enough time to do it's work.
 
yeah, i think i've missed muscle plenty of times. 5/8 pins are all that available to me at times. so i hit traps and pecs and etc. but sometimes, i think i doesn't matter that much...
 
ive not gotten deep enuff a few times....leaves a larger bump than normal kinda a knot its gets absorbed but i do beleive it would loose potentcy in the absorbtion and take longer to get into system
 
I accidentally pulled the pin out as I ws injecting my last of 3cc's in one of my glutes. I think some of the oil was under my skin and took a while to fully absorb. The area was a little swollen and red. It even felt like it was spreading up part of my lower back. I thought I had an abcess forming and nearly went to the doc but decided not to. The pain and swelling went down after a week but it was a very experience. I'm extra careful now when I do glute shots even though its look back and see what I'm doing.

I make sure the needle hits bone before I inject.

I actually fear this happening. I think about the tip of a needle scraping against my pelvic plate and it makes tense up like fingernails on a chalk board do to most people.
 
Damn i better read that sticky.

I aught to be banned!

Thanks for the responses guys.

5/8??? of an inch? I got 1.5 inch needles, isnt that a standard length for IM intections?

I use 5/8'' for delts and bicepts and 1'' for quads and glutes. Never needed to go with a 1.5'',it's fine to use a 1.5'' but if your bf% is low enough there's no need to.

Damn, I didnt put the whole thing in and I was worried it wasnt gonne be deep enough. I do have low body fat% so I guess that was ok.
 
Better fill up a second syringe and re-inject just to make sure...

There's a thread over on another forum about some HRT doc now recommending that Test be injected Sub-Q, and there's a number of posts by a guy who did this with good results. Theory is that a Sub-Q inject will allow for a more even absportion of the oil, plus you lose all the potential badness of IM inject (muscle tissue damage/necrotization(sp?), abcess, pain, etc)

I actually have alot of experience with this. On my first cycle, I only had .5" pins available AND I was afraid of needles to boot! So you can imagine the shallow shots I gave my ass lol! But I guess the answer to your question is that, yes, it definately gets absorbed, albeit at a slower rate. I know it got absorbed because I can be a little sensitive to gyno and at the time I was using 500/wk Primoteston (enanthate) and I started to get a little sensitive after like the fourth week! Also, one of the shots was just under the skin on accident, and it swelled up weird and got really red and painful. It eventually went down but it was a couple weeks later. NOT a good experience! I think if your bf % is low enough and you go in at least .5" it will be ansorbed but in the muscle is definately preferable.

That is subcutaneous injection. It is injected mainly in fat tissue.
It will ultimately be absorbed, but more slowly. Absorption depends on circulation. Fat tissue had much less circulation compared to muscle tissue.
Watch the speed of injection. If it is going in much slower than usual, probably it is going in fat tissue.
 
Ive had this problem a few times. Mostly from slightly pulling the pin out during injection. I use 1.5's

You said you have problems getting anything other than 5/8?
