General Questions

[Myke Hawk]

I'm sure these may be on here/Google and I will dig deeper, but wanting to hear from the community. I started 400 mg Test E on 3/20 and just took my 2nd dose.

• What if you don't inject IM? Let's say somehow you miss the muscle or have too much fat..or idk
• I had blood work done prior to establish my baseline. How frequently should I get blood work while on my 16 week cycle and during PCT?
• I've got AI on hand. Other than gyno, what side effects should I have to take it for?
• When will I feel the full effects of the 400 mg Test E? In day to day life as well as in the gym?

1 sub q works, i feel not as well as IM tho, and if you do a full cc subq it will leave a lump
2. I pull bloods quarterly and my doc also recommends quarterly as well
3 Acne, lower belly fat, love handles.....thats only if your e2 is high... How were your baseline bloods?
4 By the 3rd or 4th week it should be kicking in.

1-Subq will work, but imo IM is better
2-Peak of your cycle and after PCT
3-Sensitive nipples, acne, oily skin
4-4-6 weeks

I did SubQ for 2 years. Got a few blood test on it then went to IM. My free testosterone is a lot higher on IM. I have also been able to drop from 175mg a week to 125mg a week with my free still a lot higher than it was

Are you pinning once a week or are you splitting the dose up throughout the week?

200 mg Monday night and 200 mg Friday morning -approx 3.5 days apart.

That's interesting..
Are you thinking sQ..is not absorbing it as much..??
Curious if others are noticing this..
I've always done IM..

I think he’s asking what happens if you miss a muscle when you’re injecting intramuscularly.

If you miss the intended muscle completely it will probably hurt pretty bad. You’ll invite possible infection as well. And have some bruising. I dunno, I’ve never not hit the muscle, unless I have and didn’t realize it. And if that’s the case… then disregard my former statements.

Just make sure you are hitting the muscle.

Probably bad absorption. The only reason I was doing it was I read you get higher free SubQ. So I tried it to see how I went. Decided to change to get bloods IM to see if it was lower but was shocked how it’s higher.
I did SubQ with my ugl and pharma with roughly the same numbers.

Definitely won’t be going back to SubQ for trt. Always blast IM then went back SubQ. Now I know IM is better for me and cheaper

I have never had a problem with missing a muscle and leaking. I know I have done it but I never had any swelling or pain like people say. I can literally just stick a needle in my body anywhere and it doesn’t leave any Pip or swelling.
