First cycle ever. Testosterone Enanthate (Test-E) 600mg/2ml pr.week for 12 weeks.

GoingAesthetic, if that black circle in that image is where you are injecting, then you are injecting the wrong spot. You need to shoot in the upper left quadrant
 
Whenever I do it myself, I inject quads. IMHO, it is the easiest place to inject if doing it yourself. To occasionally rotate sites, my wife will inject one of my shoulders. She is an RN and is pretty good at injections.
 
Hey everyone i have been offline for some time now because of extreme amounts of homework this is my second semester and this has been a very tough one since i will afterwards apply for med school so i have to keep the grades up.​

I did my 9. injection today.
I stopped feeling sore after injection after i had done 3 injection to each glute.
I am keeping my diet on 4000cal but because of the studying i have been eating some junkfood the last couple of works but my BF% has gone down by 0.5% my BF% is at 8,2%.
My weight has improved but only by a smaller amount, i weigh about 185lbs right now so i'm guessing that most of it is lean mass since my body is toning greatly.


After my 6. injection i started getting acne on biceps and shoulders.
It was very aggresive that week but now it has started to vanish.
I have been sunbathing and i think that has helped alot, i have also been washing the areas extra the last few weeks and it is helping alot.


I have started noticing some things the last few weeks when i workout.
I tend to sweat alot more now then before ALOT, i also get tired and sometimes a bit dizzy because i have started breathing heavily when working out and my heart beats fast, i guess its just adrenaline.
I have started to fell stronger now and also my pump after the workout and during is incredible i look tremendous hahah. I'm thinking about joining another gym in my city because they have heavier weights and other machines.

I have noticed some mood swings. I have had some "roidrages" were i got mad over small things i would normally just have been irritated about.

Besides all that, my chest looks normal i'm still not on a AI and i'm not sure if it will be needed. Balls also looks normal in size but i'm not really sure how small they get longer inside a cycle. I will start using AI in the last month of the cycle i know that it would be better to start now but i don't think atm that it will be a problem. i have already talked with "the guy" and he has it ready for me if i need it.
The AI i will be using is Arimidex

I wrote earlier this month that i had gotten some lump thing on my buttocks after the swelling went away, they disappear a week after each injection. I don't know why it happens but for some reason it does.

I've been told that between the 4. and 6. week i will truly start feeling the test. I can't wait for it i feel like i already can fell it working but i'm not sure if it's my mind or the roids.


I will be active again until my exams that starts in the beginning of may.​

Yes i know, the injection was done to low and in the center.
I am right now injecting in the glute.
Thanks alot. But i think i will be doing glute for as long as i can get my cycle mate to do me. If he wants me to do him he has to do me also haha.
 
Thanks everyone for the tips on quad injections. I think i will be doing glute as long as possible. I do the right on my own since for some reason it's easier for me then doing the left side. But i got my cycle buddy for that side.

Keep coming with good advise for me and future cyclers who will be reading the thread! Thanks for the help so far, you guys made it much easier for me to keep going with the cycle!
 
Your best bet with injection sites is to rotate them. You should be pinning quads and glutes both, that way each site gets hit only once a week.

How long of a syringe are you using for glutes? I saw somewhere in this thread, but it was metric. Most Yanks try to use a 1.5" pin for the glutes.

Did you get bloodwork done before cycle? are you planning on getting mid cycle and after cycle bloodwork done? It's valuable information to have.

i thought about that but after my injections in the glute i only fell sore for a half hour then the soreness disappears, ofc the swelling is still there but it disappears after a few days. Saturday i do my right glute and thursday my left.
I am right now using a needle that is 0,6 x 250mm or 2.5cm.

I have not tried getting my bloodwork done, before i started i only got my homone level checked and it was a little above average, i didn't want to go to the doctor for bloodwork hence i dont want to hear the steroids are bad for you 101 lecture because i guess they can see my hormon level in that also and will know that i'm on steroids, but i dont know much about it. Is there is a way to get it done without having to go to the doctor then i'm all open, or if i can get the bloodwork document sent to me so my doctors don't need to check up on it. i just don't want to go thru that conversation with him. :) I'm from europe and maybe it's different from how it is in the states.
 
They make bloodwork a little easier here in the states, you can spend about $60 and have the results emailed to you in a few days.

Next time you get a chance, pick up some 3.5cm needles. these will make sure you get all the way in the glute. Use the 2.5's on quads or delts.

Yeah i don't think it's as easy like that here.

3,5cm? that sounds really large? i'm weighing 85kg and my but isen't really that large, my bodyfat is around 8% so i don't think that i need more then 2.5cm to be sure to inject into the muscle.
 
Hey guys i need a quick reply. I can't get my shot today because my mate can't come before tomorrow and for some reason i can't inject myself only others but without any trouble i have injected many times before, because i worked as a substitute at a retirement home where i had to give insulin injections.

Will it do any harm if i wait til tomorrow with the injection? because i have tried to do it myself for about an hour now and i just can't seem to do it. this is also one of the reasons for why i wanted to start quad but i have gotten used to glute injections now and i almost don't get any pip or anything anymore.
 
I know Guys the problem is that i like to pin myself in the glute the best and it makes it harder for me since i have to look at it with a mirrow when i have to do it to make i sure i hit the right place.
I only have 2.5cm needles right now. i don't know how long that is but it just looks awfully large for a quad injection?

I have pinned myself before without trouble but for some reason i can't get myself to do it anymore. But yea i'm still thinking about starting to do quad injections. maybe i just should rotate. 1 week glute, 1 week quad. Will it have any impact on my test levels to switch sites ?
 
I think you need to teach yourself to be self reliant with the pinning. You cant always rely on your cycle buddy.

Anyway, I would recommend trying the ventroglute. I found that to be the easiest to self pin and fairly PIP free. Its in your hip area where your leg meets your pelvis. Google it

Delts are another option but Id start with .5ml since they are smaller

Not a fan of quads but others love it. End of the day you should try the different major sites to see what you tolerate the best.
 
Subscribed, my only critique is that you did not do your research beforehand. I am too going into medicine next year; I am also 21 but I held off for almost a year for reasons beside knowledge of the drug. I am starting 500 mg/week of Test E on the 7th of next week. However before I introduce any substance that will permanently change the chemistry of my body, I'm getting a thorough report on my body. From experiences thourgh interactions with vets on forums and people in the gym, every cycle will have variables; the only thing you can do is limit the adverse side effects.

Thanks for the advise i found a video on how to do ventroglute injections. I'll try it saturday maven :)

Yeah i did some research before starting the cycle but i first joined a forum community when i started, which i am happy about because if i hadn't i probably would have had some complications. I am thinking about getting some bloodwork done but unless you go to your own doctor (here in europe we have free healthcare) you won't be able to get bloodwork done and i don't think they will do it if they get to know i'm on steroids or else they want me to start a PCT immediately, but i am searching for a way to get it done. Also if i do want to do a 2nd cycle i'll do it all differently, I have so far not had any side effects except some acne problems and a few times i have had some minor "shot and release problems" if you know what i'm saying. ;) but besides that it has so far been fine. But i will do it all differently next time now that i have learned from my mistakes.
