Hello everyone,
I wanted to ask if is It ok to train injecting saline solution before the first cycle?
And also, could someone link a tutorial about how to inject properly?
Thanks in advice
Not sure why you would inject saline? I know it’s intimidating at first, but injecting IM is no big deal (as long as you get the right placement).
Just google how to inject intramuscularly, you should find all kinds of stuff. Just pay attention to proper sanitary practices.

Dylan Gemelli has some great videos on YouTube about this subject, watch as many videos from different people, and gather the information. Injecting testosterone feels different because the fluid is thicker, thus injecting saline isn’t comparable … don’t bother with it buddy, it’s really quite easy, just watch a lot of videos.

I think training with saline would be extremely counter productive. Any AAS suspended in water (winny and tne for example) hurts like hell no matter how well dissolved the crystals are. It hurts because it is in water not oil. Training with saline aka salt water is going to most likely make you trigger shy about injecting oil based suspensions.
Like the others said go Google techniques. I recommend glutes for your first cycle as they have the least concentration of nerves.
As far as personal experience recommendations I say when time to inject go slow and steady. If you jab it in you will end up tensing up and that makes the whole process worse. Going slow you can actually get to point where you don’t feel it. Or if you do it’s just a real light pinch feeling.

^^^This. I have done several cycles of different lengths, and I still do the stick nice and sloooowww. And google the ventroglute - that is the easiest part of the glute to stick, with the least chance of hitting something important (like the sciatic). When you stick, put all your weight on one leg, and then completely relax the whole side you are injecting on. If you have to, lean against something, and I usually try to do it in front of a mirror since my flexibility sucks and it makes it easier to see what I’m doing.

Dylan was banned off youtube unfortunately since like you said he had really good honest information. Apparently someone flgged him and youtbe Removed all his videos. You can find his videos on his site or check his fb.
O yeah and to OP, that will be painfull and it isnt roxkets science just learn proper procedure and take your time.

I personally find the quads super convenient because you have full visibility, you have 3 spots per leg that you can inject in, so cycling between these 6 spots is super easy

Just to throw this out there - I was told at my TRT clinic that the quad is not great for test injections due to the density of the fiber. Apparently it effects absorption somehow - if the dense and fibrous nature is the issue, then I’d guess it slows down the absorption rate. First time I’ve heard that though.

ain’t no lie. There’s actually quite a variation in absorption between sites.
If I remember rightly the glutes were best

Thanks everyone for the replies.
I wanted to try injecting saline because I’ve never injected anything before, and the idea of dying by embolus scares me pretty much.
I’ve tried injecting twice in the glutes but I decided to stick to a private doctor for doing this, atleast for the first cycle.
And I have a question: what effects may there be if test was injected not intermuscular but let’s say subcutaneous…? Except for the test waste
Depending on the volume it can leave a big gross welt for a while and be pretty painful to the touch.
It’ll still absorb eventually though. There’s a school of thought that recommends daily subQ pins (tiny pinning volume) for TRT as its been shown to aromatise less, but that’d mean pinning every day so fuck that noise.
