Question about SubQ

[Justin Chile Farrar]

I've been reading a lot about SubQ injections of Test cyp... looks pretty promising. Right now I'm experimenting going back to gel from IM injections to see how the gel works for me. Before I was doing 80mg per week IM injections. I was kind of moody so I was thinking it was because of the peaks and troughs of the injections and that the gel would be better for more consistent stable levels. I'm not sure if I'm getting enough testosterone with the gel though. I was going to stick to the gel for a couple more weeks but I think I'll probably end up trying SubQ Test cyp injections. I'm unsure how to dose them though can someone give me some guidance as far as:

How much Test Cyp do I use a week? Would I just take my IM dose of 80mg and split it into 3 or 4 shots? or How many injections a week would I do?

Or would it be best to split my IM shot into two 40mg shots a week instead of doing subQ?

Just split the dose twice a week using 40 mg per injection.

I use shallow IM injections on my shoulders with 27 gauge syringes. Pretty painless.

ok awesome Nelson thanks! Is that 1/2" needles? you can also do it in the stomach fat too right?

 

[Nelson Vergel]

Yes, 1/2 inch needles.

Some guys have more injection site reactions in the abdominal subcutaneous fat pad. I use a 90 degree angle. If you will use the abs fat pad make sure you pinch enough tissue and inject on the pad.




These are the syringes I use:

Easy Touch Insulin Syringes 27 Gauge 1cc 1/2 in - 100 ea

Here are some good videos on injection technique for testosterone and HCG:

Ok cool thanks again Nelson.

Could you inject EOD SubQ with 20mg of Test Cyp instead of 40mg 2x per week? or is that pretty much pointless?

 

[Nelson Vergel]

why complicate your life? Twice per week injections are enough for stable blood levels. Also, some people eventually develop needle fatigue.

Is there a technique to get the T into insulin needles? I had a problem with that

I am doing twice a week inj, just switched over to sub q admin. Im experiencing site reactions, but not really concerned as I will try a 27g and follow Nelsons example.
