I inject test and HCG every day (about 5 weeks) - so far only in love handles. I see I will need to start rotating injection sites. I use 26G / 1/2" subq; I do not want to do IM injections.
Those who have been doing ED or EOD subq injections for a long time - what sites and how often are you rotating? Do you have a schedule you follow? What has worked best for you?
Dont give up on the idea of IM. That is going to give you the most fexibility. I use 28g 1/2 in for IM injections. Smooth as silk. Mostly shoulders and glutes.
Same here…shallow IM in shoulders and ventrogluteal. 28g 1/2in.
Sub Q Belly
IM delts and quads EOD 28g 1/2in.

3x a week, shallow IM, delt. I’ve pretty much used my left delt for weeks in a row without any issues. I guess I should switch it up at some point
Seems like a shallow IM delt is the most popular choice. Maybe I will rotate that with the subq stomach/love handle area?
- So there are not really any other good subq alternatives to the stomach/love handle area?
- Are you also doing HCG shots with shallow IM delt?
- From personal experience, does anyone notice any differences between when they IM delt and subq stomach/love handles?
???
Also, is there any suggestion on best video (link) to watch to do IM delt injection? Just want to make sure I do everything correctly.
I do my hCG sub-q into the dorsogluteal area (alternate left and right sides, E3D), my HMG sub-q into the stomach area (alternate left and right sides, different sites accordingly, also E3D).
I do my test enanthate IM (0.2 ml / 36mg taking into account ester weight) into my delts, ventroglutes and quads, so alternating six different sites - also E3D.
So that means an injection every day, but running through the chain of hCG, HMG and test E on consecutive days and I find this means each site is being well rested as I’m using so many of them.
HCG is sub-q only.
There’s not a major difference. I get a little better sense of “feeling the testosterone” with IM but it’s very minimal. I’ve done both routes of administration and prefer IM in the delts personally but keep in mind when switching from one to the other there will be an adjustment period where you may not feel ideal.
Inject in the middle of the purple. Stick 1/2 inch needle all the way in, press plunger slowly, leave it in for 10-15 secs, pull out and gently massage with minimal pressure.

Thanks for the info/reply.
I thought HCG was only subq, but was not completely sure. I am continuing it in the stomach/love handle area. I also watched a few delt injections on youtube and did first delt injection this morning. I guess will see how it feels soon enough.
Based on your comment, it would not be the best idea to rotate regularly between IM delt and subq stomach/love handle area.
Do one or the other. Since you switched from sub-q now to IM there’s likely going to be a period where you don’t feel as good before you start to feel better. You may even feel amazing the first week and then have a few weeks of feeling less than ideal before feeling better. Don’t make a judgment on the first month is what I’m trying to say.
I rotate from right side belly to right shoulder to left side belly to left shoulder. I inject twice a week so I’m only hitting each site every 2 weeks, works great. ( also good to alternate IM and sub q I think)
Now I see why your Tinder is staying busy, haha
Looks like Jeff from AthleanX maybe…
Ah ok. I thought it was @dextermorgan haha
That’s me in 3 years.
@dextermorgan @ncsugrad2002 Think Athlean is on TRT? Think Joe Rogan accused him of it and he made a whole video denying.
