How fat are you? If over 15% bf you can get away with more without seeing lumps. I'm in the low 20s now and can subq .6-.7ml without lumpage

I think how your body handles subc plays a bigger role than the actual volume. I'm saying this because some guys have problem with even 0,10ml and some can pin up to 0,8-1ml without issues. So far most i've done is 0,4ml for 18 weeks. I've tried pharma test, i've tried UGL test, UGL primo and never had a problem. Better stick to glute area and not pin in belly.

Yes.
Volume generally not more than 1cc of 250mg/ml. Avoid love handles and abdominal area as blood flow is lower and will result in greater irritation.
As Mg/Ml go up volume drops. (I stay at or below 1/2 cc as stated above)
Yall are about to change my life. Been on trt for years (and a couple of cycles) but still have a small needle phobia that pops up almost randomly. My hand gets tremors and I have to give myself the don't be a bitch talk before injecting.
But you're saying I can change my 0.4ml twice a week IM trt shot to 0.4ml subq shot in the stomach twice a week? The only time id have to deal with my needle phobia is on cycle.

What’s the advantage to subq?
I did subq and got painful lumps that took a week to go. Now I do IM with a half inch needle in the quads and glutes and I get a little tender around the injection site when warming up with squats, but that’s it. I’m even doing more volume this way.

No! I don't know who said that to you but you better avoid stomach for oil based injectables. You should do it on your glutes and side hips if you have fat there.
You can easily do it everyday or at least very often which means more stable levels without peaks and troughs, less need for AI, smaller chances to increase HCT due to lower erythropoiesis (i believe this comes from the absess of "peaks"), zero scar tissue, smaller chances of infections (even if you get infected it starts with a skin reaction and not deep into the muscle) and generally way easier to administer because you're far from veins, nerves, tendons etc.
Never done subq in the glute before but I will look into it. I will try my first subq oil injection Monday. Thanks for the info.
Did my first subq injection last night.
0.4ml with a 31 gauge 5/8" insulin needle (all I have on hand that's not IM)
I couldn't comfortably reach my glutes as I knew the injection would take a while through 31 gauge so I had to be comfortable while injecting. I figured since it was subq anywhere with fat would do so injected the side of my thigh right below the hip. Basically where your hand would be if you stood up and put your hand directly to your side.
Pretty intense pip that I felt during and after injection. Like a hot sensation at the injection site. I went to bed and woke up perfectly fine no pain or lumps at all.

What did you inject and what is the concentration? Obviously everyone is different, but I’m surprised you experienced intense PIP if it was test

That’s way too much volume in way too thin of a needle for me.
Any more than 0.2ml and I get pretty bad PIP subq. And even with a 29 gauge it takes fucking ages to plunge it all in. A thinner needle means you’ve gotta either press harder, or longer, and both of them mean moving the needle more once it’s in.
