Needles dull or muscle too dense?

[watchtymeflyyy]

Random question but what’s the chances of 2 different brands of needles being dull? I started out fine but now I feel like I can barely push the needle in when injecting. I go to push it in and my skin just kind of pushes down with the needle. Is it possible my muscle is more dense now? I just don’t want to force the needle in if there’s some underlying cause. What do you guys think? Currently on a cycle of test e, tren ace, and masteron e.

It's called scar tissue.

It's called scar tissue.

This is only my second cycle, I feel like I shouldn’t be experiencing scar tissue in such a short time. I’m only 4 weeks in.

A fresh, sharp needle will go through muscle like butter. It doesn't care how "dense" your muscle is, whatever that means. Scar tissue can develop fairly quickly. It takes more effort to push a needle through scar tissue.

Unless you're reusing needles, there isn't a chance that they are dull. What size needle are you using?

 

[watchtymeflyyy]

I’m using 25x1 and 27x0.5 gauge needles

Some randoms off of Amazon. Could that be the problem?

Yes, excel brand, or nipro, or BD, are solid and never had issue. For Oils. On amazon.

Also the BH supplies insulin ones work for me on peptides well.

Yes

Got it. I’ll buy some new ones from a reputable site.

I've had the same problem with needles also. Sometimes I have to switch needles a couple of times before it works. I know scar tissue is the problem but I'm a new user also.
I'm curious if certain blends or oils cause extra scar tissue. Injections were really easy until I started using TNE. After that, I started having extra problems.
Will harsher stuff containing guaiacol cause scar tissue buildup faster?

Wow you know what… I was doing a bunch of TNE shots in my delts which is where the main problems exist!! You may be on to something. Anyone else have any input on this?

My last order i got some Nipro ( which is what i normally use) and Exell ( for first time). Im having issue with Exell , just refusing to perforate the skin. I switch needle to Nipro, and all is fine. Is there such thing as defective batch? Because Exell seem to be a well reviewed brand.

I sometimes got to "jump" on my glutes with the needle lol... my wife always asks if I "play trampoline" again.... cause I don't want to press too hard so it does not suddenly goes in all at once. I do always push needles slowly, but I guess too much scar tissue on glutes tho...
