I’ve been experimenting with this during my first year on TRT. Bloods both ways are nearly identical. A dose is a dose... it all comes down to what you’re comfortable with.

SubQ will save scar tissue buildup over the years potentially... but as for keeping the trough out, I find no difference on my test levels 5 days after an injection whether it’s subQ or IM.

I did gh sub-q for 3 years ... 2X a day for over a year ... super easy no doubt ... just not sure how oil would react ... small volumes would work ... .5 to 1ml would probably be fine sub-q ... 2mel and up probably better IM ...

Same here, I've tested it out myself. Funny enough though, I went back to IM, but with slin pins.

Definitely wouldn't do high volume SubQ though, maybe 0.5 ml would be my limit.

I've done sub q for years, BUT.... it may actually increase your blood levels in a bad way (hematocrit and hemoglobin) and that might be the reason why my blood levels got out of control over the last few years....

I don't care for it. Seems to leave knots under my skin.
Hell I even started pinning HGH IM.

I have always done IM. Just as easy imo.

I have used both ways for many years. And find sub-q to be the easiest. No damage to muscles. Not good for cycles really but for TRT especially daily it works great.

I bought some slin pins and have been doing upper quad and shoulder injection IM with 29g 1/2". I think is the route for me. I can't be doing much muscle damage with this tiny thing. That was my main concern. Takes about 3 min to load though.
