Sub-q injections vs traditional IM injects.

[Tux]

Been seeing a few more people start posts about this recetly and my curiousity has been reawakened. For small volume shots, say 1cc max, is there any legitimate reason we could not shoot sub-q vs IM? I understand there might be slower absoption, but as long as youy frequently rotated sights and only injected small amounts of gear, would this be a vialble option? Haven't done much reasoning on this recently but I'd done some sub-q injects in the past with no ill effects and seems to still work for keeping androgen levels stable AND the gains never seemed to suffer. Just looking to try something different this bulker so I thought maybe you gents could chime in... all help is much appreciated!

It really depend on the compound.

For example - test enanthate is best using a deep intramuscular injection because it's designed to provide a sustained release of testosterone into the bloodstream
for 2-3 weeks.

On the other hand - hGH is best with subcutaneous injections - which gives it a higher bioavailability - 75% vs 63%.

Most items are IM - but not all.

oil needs to go into the muscle or you will form an abscess which possibly would need to be drained or get infected.

wish we could, sub Q injections are easy and painless. but we can't take that risk. always go IM and always use atleast 1 inch. 23 or 25G needle..

I have gotten an abscess for going in at too much of an angle and not getting it deep enough into the muscle and that was with a 1 incher in my quad, so its possible to get one with a longer needle as well. you have to inject properly

there are some guys who do sub Q very small amounts if you read around the web.. half a CC or a CC.. but really its not worth the risk in my eyes. if you want to try it then go ahead though. its hard enough to push through prop or primo through a 25G, can't imagine a slin pin 29/30G

but hell if someone out there tries this on their cycle and says it goes well and they have no abscesses I am open to trying it! but i'm not gonna be the guinea pig.. keep in mind you must still go into the muscle so go for areas with little fat. it is just too complicated and easier to just go with an IM shot

Definitely not worth the risk
