Intramuscular vs Subcutaneous Injections?

[FivePack]

I’m seeing new studies that suggest more frequent subcutaneous injections for testosterone cypionate are both easier & more effective than the traditional less frequent intramuscular injections? Anyone care to comment

I seen a few videos of a guy that did subq everyday. He said levels were more stable and less side effects.

Wondering what the oil buildup sub q would be like. I’d be interested to see someone who’s doing it/done its experience.

I want to try it but have to wait u til after an upcoming trip because I do t want to travel with pins and gear.

Vigorous Steve has a video about doing a purely subcutaneous cycle. It's been a while since I watched it, but I remember it being interesting.

This has been a debated topic as theres been talk that oil buildup can occur in the fat and can cause brain fog for some. A good rule of thumb if you're choosing to pin subq is try to stay under a half ml, as lumping occurs and absorption can become unstable. Personally if your pinning subq for trt that makes sense, but pinning subq for a actual for cycle I would not agree with as absorption is always going to be better IM when it's pinned deep into the muscle.

I ran a ml of oil 3x a week for 12 weeks, then dropped a compound and finished with 4 more weeks test only. I used 1/2" pin to the delts. No noticable issues. Whether this is considered subq I don't know, but it wasn't deep.

I tend to agree. A couple weeks ago I accidently flexed as I withdrew the needle and I swear I could feel the muscle holding it as I pulled. I have trouble comprehending the thickness of skin/fat. I know some guys who use long thick needles and go deep, I just don't understand the need to do that. My bloodwork indicates what I'm doing is working.

Yea I have accidentally flexed and bent needles n my thigh and everything . If I use slin pin on thigh I use more pressure than I do say on top leg/hip or lats. I've done successful IM injections long enough to feel if I'm not atw in muscles and hell worse case if I am missing anything IM I'm still getting benefits subQ
