First Cycle Started

[vaper86]

Running Test E at 500mg a week Thurs/Mon injections.

Have to say I started on my right glute and once I was all the way in with the needle I couldnt get the damn syringe to aspirate and started feeling light headed. I pulled out switched to left glute had to really tug on the plunger to see the air bubbles upon aspiration and then slowly pressed the plunger until I saw no more test. Must say I give credit to most who self inject because I dont have a fear of needles but it is surely different the first time around. I may run a log but this is mainly to let Pikiki know things are good and another battle bud is on his way . Cheers.

Nice Job Vaper! Glad to hear you've crossed over LOL
I'll admit the first injection last week felt a little awkward, but I'm ready to knock the 2nd one out today! Enjoy the ride man!

[creekrat]

I know how you feel bro. I just started my first cycle 3 weeks ago and what a challenge pinning was. But after 7 pins, I feel like a pro. I was shaking so bad the first two pins, I'm surprised I didn't cram the pin in sideways! I totally dreaded pinning, now I look forward to it. I can tell you too, I feel great. You will love it!

 

[JOMO]

When you aspirate, you're not trying to pull air into the pin. You're just trying to create a little back pressure so if you are in a vein, the blood will register in the barrel and you know to move the pin out of the vein. It's hard to get air into the barrel while you're in a muscle because, well, there's no air in the muscle lol. You're good To go as long as no blood that registers in the barrel.

Like everyone else said, it'll get easier pin by pin. And congrats on poppin that cherry!

2nd injection complete today. Attempted my right quad first...got about 1/4 of an inch in and felt an extreme sharp pain that almost made me jump out of my damn chair. pulled the needle out and my quad cramped hard. Decided to switch to right delt got the needle in and injected with no issues. Seems like so far I prefer my delts to quads or glutes .

Sounds like you hit a nerve. Never fun.

My delts hate me for days even if I only inject 35mg of prop. I can hit traps and pecs with no problems but for some reason my delts won't take.

Good job the more you inject the easier it gets.

 

[vaper86]

Third pin completed today. Left delt...went in easy enough but at some point while injecting didnt realize I started flexing the muscle while focusing on staying slow and controlled so now theres is some definite soreness that I didnt experience in the right delt due to my own fault. Definitely getting easier now though less hesitation more confidence.

 

[creekrat]

Good to hear bro. Sounds like you're getting the hang of it. Can't wait to see your progress when it starts to kick in.
