Test Prop cycle question

Is it going to be safe to ONLY pin the glutes through a 12 week cycle, with a 30g 1" needle everyday? I would probably be fine with also doing shoulder if not but I would like to avoid them and try to stay strictly to glutes.
 
Depends on if you are doing IM or SubQ administration, but either way your needle sizing is not optimal for ventral gluteal injections.

If you are choosing to use test prop, as the title suggests, you will need a pinning frequency of ED or EOD. That's going to build a lot of scar tissue and be painful if you choose to do only IM VG injections. Not ideal.

If you are doing SubQ VG only then that should be fine. How ever, you will need a smaller needle length of 1/2 inch.

If you are doing IM VG you should really do a needle length of 1.5 inch to insure you reach the muscle adequately. Also, you should use a larger needle gauge. 25g is the smallest recommended for IM injections in a clinical setting, but you could probably get away with 27g.

Here is some literature on intramuscular injections you can read up on to educate your self.


Why did you choose test prop?

It would be much easier to do this with a longer lasting ester like test E or C. I would recommend also rotating delts if you are doing IM.

Why prop and not E/C ?

I would rotate, shoulders, pecs etc
 
No way I would ever pin pecs. Prop is jus more optimal, better hormone stabilization, quicker onset, faster and better coming off cycle aswell
E/C/U every day is more stable than prop. Off cycle ? You go totally off gear and do PCT ?
I would recommend bridge/cruise doses up to your next cycle.

I’m only 18, def not the time to make the big decision if I want to be on for life. But I have thought about cycling cruising and cycling again. I just don’t want to be on trt for life as of right now. Too much uncertainty in that.

Then don't run gear. You are going to lose the majority of the gains you made when you come off and then some more because your balls won't be working and you'll feel like shit and be weak as fuck waiting for your balls to to turn back on.

I would not advise -23 to use anabolics.
If you do, do it ones and wait at least a year to the next. And stay 110% in training and diet. Do your bloodwork in advance and 12 weeks after PCT

That’s fair but as for the balls hcg seems to solve that. My friend just came off his cycle a month or so ago. Started hcg 2 weeks into his cycle and had non issues with his balls. Lowk depressed after cycle but he was also sick asf and coming off a nic addiction so it’s hard to say but.

hCG will help preserve some testicular function, but exogenous test will still suppress LH/FSH, shutting down your bodies natural testosterone function. The depression your friend had was from low T.

I experienced the same thing on my first cycle. Came fully off and PCT'd with enclo and nolva and felt like shit. I was weaker and smaller than before I even started the cycle because of low T. Took me months to bounce back. I would have made more gains if I could have trained hard that whole time and never did the test cycle.

Good luck
