So what is your point here? What are you trying to prove to this guy asking about crystalizatiin post injection?Every steroid board is full of people discussing hypotheses using loosely associated studies.
Why? Because no one studies majority of the topics discussed in bodybuilding circles.
The problem these days is people like to dig in and just want to argue. So the end result is usually two people calling each other stupid without ever thinking critically about the topic.
Whether the pip is caused by crystallization or not will likely remain nothing more than a hypothesis. That doesn't mean you can instantly rule it out or say it's the cause.
It's mind blowing that you guys keep claiming something can't happen because it's not directly reported in a study. The whole "evidence based" bodybuilding and training world is based on making assumptions from studies that are somewhat associated with the topic
Also is if the guy is "scared" because PIP could or could not be caused by crystallization doing steroids is probably not going to go well for him mentally.
What's your advice to him? Is it to not inject testosterone based on your hypothisis of possible post injection crystalization?
Or is it to go ahead and inject it BUT be scared all the while that it will crystalize becuase of your hypothisis?
Do you just want to create fear and anxiety for this person? Do you want to stear them away from using AAS?
How are you being helpful here? Please cut to the chase and share the exact point of your responses to the OP and what your advice to him is.
I think you're just trying to look like the smartest guy in the room here and it's more about your ego now than helping this person. You come off like a facetious person by nature and your comments come off more like that than trying to advance AAS knowledge and safety.
Again, to the OP... I am not aware of one case where this has happened. If this was something that even happened occassionally the community would be aware of it and it would actively come up in posts and threads on every AAS related forum on the internet.
This guy can't point to one person this has been proven to have happened to. Nor can he point out even one study or treatment plan in the medical industry on how to diagnos and or administer a treatment plan for someone who's had crystalized testosterone stay in an injection site post injection.
No smoking gun. No standard protocol for the medical industry to diagnos or treat.
I feel that this has pretty much traversed into the same realm as arguing with flat earthers. And with that.. I'm done wasting anymore of my time on this.
Best of luck to all here.
