sub-q injections

Hi all,
so I started to test out sub-q injections and have found them to be quite positive. so far I've done sub-q into the delts, pecs, outer quads, triceps and most recently the skin around the knee cap.

all have gone well with the exception of one delt shot. the other day was my first attempt with the sub-q knee cap shot. The only issue which I had with I started to pin in other areas was redness and soreness the day after.

as for the 'cough' I find the occurrences of it with sub-q to be about equal with IM shots.

anyone else playing around with sub-q shots?
 
I have been doing my weekly TRT shots in the abdomen for years (~5) now. Ran a "mini blast" a couple of times all SQ in the abdomen with the odd glute IM thrown in when the abdo locations were still tender.

I have done them nearly everywhere across the abdomen from pec to belt line and near flank to near flank. Really like the ease of doing them. Had a few bruise now and then. I have done as much as 1.5ml in a single shot. Some discomfort after and the following day or two but not as bad as a messed up delt or quad shot, and sure as hell a lot better than any tricep or bicep shot I have tried.

I'll probably stick to SQ from now on, TRT and cycles. Might end up throwing in an IM once in a while for nostalgia sake.
 
Forgot to add...

Skin around the knee cap?!?! lol

What would make you shoot there? That's awesome and weird at the same time ;)
 
i know right!? there was a guy in the gym who suggested it, said he does shots there all the time. I thought, what do I have to lose?
The most I've done is .5ml.

Today I do .5 tren and I'm thinking I'll hit the other knee.

Knee looks like Tonya Harding took a run at it at the moment, but the redness/discomfort is minor...
 
so I did another sub-q shot in the other knee. the location is the skin just above the knee actually. This was a .5 TREN-E shot.
it burned a bit shortly after that, but this morning there is no pain, no rash or tenderness at all. My right knee from the TEST-E shot his itchy, a touch sore and red.
 
Ugggg! I break out into a cold sweat just thinking about this!

Honestly i have not had one single successful subQ shot, ever! I know you do them all the time with no issues ever its just not for me.
 
Im the same way as faller.. not for me. Tried a 28ga slin pin and heating the oil. Got maybe .2ml in and it just stops. Ive never had it work good. Even tried a 25 ga and it left a welt. I dont think im patiet enough for oil sub q. Now the tb500 shots are no problem just under the skin in my elbow
 
You guys having problems with welts, soreness and the oil not coming out makes me wonder what gear you are running?

The only place I don’t do is my belly. I get lumps and it get tender. I just inject in all the normal spots just with a 5/16” pin. I’m fairly lean so when I pin thighs I do it at a 45degree angle.

I hardly cough on the oil going into a vein, I almost never have any pip at all and if so maybe a tiny tiny bit unless it’s something strange. But still nothing like IM.

Right now I’m pinning .83 ed. So I rotate. Right ventroglute, left upper side thigh, right upper side thigh, right tri in the meatiest part, left rear delt, right rear delts. If I get a bit of a lump, I just rub it lightly till it goes away in a second or two, just spread the oil out under the skin.

My cat has been having no issue with sub q shots now that I have found the perfect spot on her neck, lol.

I can’t do left ventroglute because I have a performis issue and it aggravates it, and no left tri because for some reason I get bad pip there lately and have no idea why. I’m thinking I shot the horseshoe and was close to the nerve a couple of weeks ago, had to mentally control my tri from trying to twitch, got some pip, then the next week hit the thicker part and holy fuck could barely bend my arm to do curls, lol. I think I damaged some tissue, I’ll give it a couple of months rest. I used to pin that tri all the time without issue. My sub q shots are sometimes shallow IM depending on where I shoot because I’m lean.

I pin my chest sub q all the time with gh. Same with side delt. Anything peptide with vac water you could pin honestly anywhere.

Knee caps though, lol. I’ll have to try it. Do you pinch up the skin or just put it in on an angle?
 
yeah, I pinned my right knee and didn't pinch the skin enough and think I got some right along the tendon. PIP was brutal for 3 days. Right knee I pinched more skin and only had slight pip for about 1/2 hour.

I have successfully done sub-q on the pecs, triceps, thighs, abs, and now just above the knee. Delts have been an issue lately so I'll use a 1" pin there only now

Same gear i use for IM.

I don't know what it is, I really gave it a try, pinned a ton sub-Q and not a word of a lie every single shot hurt like hell after.
 
When you fuck it up a few times. You dont wanna try it again. I did pin the stomach thou. I had weird pip for a few days. What size pins do you guys use? If I try again. Im gonna use 3ml and draw wth a 20 and get some 27-28 pins for them.
 
Never have an issue pinning sub q, have done as much a 1 ml in delts, quad, ventro, glutes. I never pin my stomach.

I use a 27g 1/2" pin. I've only pinned 1ml once which I found to be a bit more painful. I don't think I'll do more than a .5 ml sub-q shot again, When I wanna ramp up to 1ml + I'll use a 1" 25g pin. depending on where I pin, the skin is thin enough it actually becomes a shallow IM shot with the 1/2" 27g. Tricep and quads for example.

What length of pin you use. If I use 1/2 inch then I get pip because it’s like a shallow IM. I need to use 5/16”. If your really lean in certian spots like thighs insert at an angle.

Don’t pinch your skin up and inject. Just stick in like IM.

And try Prosum if you havnt yet. The mct oil flows like water thru a 30 gauge slin.
 
yes exactly. I go directly in and don't usually pinch the skin. and tricep/quad becomes a shallow IM shot. above the knee I made sure it was a sub-q shot on my left and that went well without issue.
 
If you get the 1cc barrel with 27g 1/2" tips you can change them out with 20g and back to the 27g
They sell these at all pharmacies to lol for cheap
And you don't have to back load

And like sorbate said just pin like regular im shots

Alot of it to has to do with solvents used anything more than 3% ba and it's gonna hurt same with separated gear is gonna sting

I'm also starting to come to the impression that Tren cough and other shot coughs is more a solvent related issue than the actual hormone
 
One thing I read was to use a tuberculin needle and this would prevent clogging. I just ordered a 100 to start do my TRT 2 times a week as I’m feeling low before my shot on Wednesday’s.

I’ll report back. But I’ve always done IM before except GH and peps.
