Hey, I just injected 1cc of test into my quads for the first time. The right quad was ok, well, not exactly…but less PIP. As for the left…I have been trying to do the aspiration method of pulling back the plunger on the syringe once it is injected to make sure I’m not drawing any blood into the syringe but it is such a hard thing to do because I have to hold my hands steady (they are already shaking enough as it is) as well as the syringe and pull fairly hard to actually get it to go back to where it is noticeable. I probably moved the needle a little too far while trying to pull the plunger on the syringe and maybe have cause more damage to the muscle than if I had just gone in and injected even though I need practice with that as well. FYI, I used a 1” needle. It was pretty painful. I took 4 ibuprofens and I could go about my business but the pain is still there and the injection was on Thursday and its Saturday. But I think its getting better. No redness, bruising or anything but it is a bit swollen. The left does look slightly larger than the left. It is larger. Also, thought maybe this could be a site enhancement effect since I most recently injected the left quad. It does seem like maybe not just swelling or something but the muscle looks larger?
So far, I don’t like injecting quads. I like injecting the glutes the most. It makes the most sense. And since I only inject twice a week, couldn’t I just stick to the glutes? I did delts but with only 125mg of test each and it was fine. That’s the other thing, 125mg seems a lot more manageable. Maybe two 125mg injections would be better than a 250? Like 4x a week 125 vs 250 2x a week.
Do I really have to aspirate? I heard you don’t really have to as it doesn’t happen that often that you hit something that is going to send the oil in the bloodstream through a vein. And it sucks if it happens but it isn’t going to kill you right? Wouldn’t it be better to just not aspirate since it just seems like everything goes so much smoother. And in the long run, I will have probably less damage and scar tissue by avoiding this technique. Or should I just keep practicing and get better at it? I think next time will be better after this. Tbh this is the only significant pip I’ve had so far and I hear the first few injections are supposed to be excruciating? Most of them have been a breeze so far. Thoughts?
