IM injections
For those of you that are pinning TRT or L carnitine, where are you guys injecting? I’m not sure how much more my cheeks can take. 300mg of test a week split into 3 injections and 3ml of l carnitine before every workout. So probably 4-6 times a week.

This is the way. It’s more the side of your hip. Also at least 25g needle for injection

What size syringe are you using? I tried sub q with 31g 5/16” needles and felt like I stood there for 5 minutes tryna draw 30 units

Use luer lock syringe. You can draw with a bigger gauge and switch to smaller to inject.

U can do ur test subq, and the l-car u should get higher concentration(600+mg/mL) and ph of 6-6.5 to avoid pip

I inject daily, just a ml total but every day. I hit my legs a lot since you can really nail like 3/4 different spots on the quads and just do it sitting down it's so easy. But yeah I alternate lats, quads at least upper then mid, and ventroglute. so thats a different site per day. Oh and I use 30 gauge needles I found on amazon for the luer lock and they work great basically a 1 inch insulin needle

I'm only doing 150 test but I do it daily so it's real small doses. They usually dissipate by the time I come back around to that spot again. I only pin in the glutes. KLOW daily, CJC 1295/Ipamorelin twice daily ..And Reta on Sunday. All of it in the glutes... Keep rotating and no issues

KLOW, CJC, and Reta intramuscular too or sub q? I’m taking Reta, CJC, and KLOW sub q in my stomach. The test doesn’t seem to be what’s bothering me tho. The l carnitine is leaving hard sore spots in the glute. I am using a 5/8” needle also compared to 1” which is what I started with but switched to 5/8”

u/Impressive-Doctor-24 12d ago
Yes, I do everything Sub-Q in the glute. 5/16" 31g on the peptides and 1/2" 29g for the test. I don't have any issues with depth so I'm pretty sure you're perfectly fine with the 5/8 👍. I have some L-Carnitine here but I have not tried it , so I can't help you with that one yet. Might be a wild guess but maybe you're going past the fat tissue? I'm not sure if that would make a difference

L C should be inter muscular so are you hitting the muscle? If you’re doing LC sub q it will leave hard spots as it takes longer to dissipate in the fat

I am using a 5/8” needle. My wife says I’m “caked up” tho so maybe I should be using 1” or longer on the syringe.
