Test E 1st cycle

[CajVoss]

I'm on my 4th injection of my 1st cycle and the 1st 3 I was a little sore but the last one has been pretty sore for about 3 days and I have a small lump right below the injection site! I'm injecting in my delts..... Is this normal or has anyone else had this happen?

Possible infection. Make sure ur swabing vial with alcohol and site. One needle for drawing then change to new needle for inject.

Getting air bubbles out?

What size r u using?

Possible not going deep enough.

Yes, it's quite common. If you get an actual abcess it will get enflamed and hot. If you have that and start running a fever it's time to go to the ER.

For the future, rotate your injetions sites, glutes are least painful and lats next (for me, others don't like lats as well).

Warm your gear (in the syringe) under hot water before injection. This will make it less likely that the oil will dissapate and leave crystalized gear behind in your muscle (which is what most likely caused your lump).

Well I swab everything really good with alcohol swabs and but I do use the same needle for both! The needles I'm using are 23 gauge 3/4 inch but I was told they would be long enough for me because I'm only about 5.5% body fat... Should I go to a 1 inch?

1 inch would be better and 23g is bigger than needed for injection.

I load with 20g 1.5" because it's faster, then switch to a 25g 1" for injection because it's small and doesn't hurt at all.

Also, you will notice a huge difference in pain level if you switch to a fresh pin before injecting. Pushing through the rubber stopper of a multiuse vial dulls the pin quite a bit.

And for switching sites... I switch arms every injection but should I throw the glutes in the mix too?

If you're pinning twice weekly, then definitely rotate other sites.

If it's just once weekly, I'd switch it up anyway; won't hurt.

5.5!!!! Wow u must look great! No homo. Yeah, imo u shouldnt have to use a big pin but you can go to one inch see what happens.

For now no more in those sites until healed! Lump goes away then wait one-2 weeks more.

As long as your not hitting that same muscle with then seven days ur good. So it doesnt appear that ur doing anything wrong.

If u develop fever stop taking gear and get to the er or doctor.

Summery dont hit delts, get one inch.

Go to siteinjections.com make sure ur hitting muscles proper.

Ull be fine dont worry. Take some ibiprophen to help swelling.

Well I've always been lean but I'm finally dedicated enough to eat right and work out right and start some gear! So I'll switch to the glutes and leave that sight alone for a whole but are the injections I've already taken still doing the trick or were they a waste because of what happened?

There good.

3/4 just isnt long enough. You need to inject deep intra muscularly. Deep being the operative word.

And really poor not changing needles between injection and drawing bro, thats the source of your problems. Needles are free. . .just swap them.

Yeah, I know they are to cheap to worry about that! Last question, where's the best/easiest place to order letro?? I'm not having any signs of gyno yet but I want to get some just in case! I was planning on ordering some when I got my gear but I was so worried about PCT I forgot to order it!
