Yes just through the top but you know, move it around a little? and the holes are so small the rubber stopper( yes thats the top) reseal the holes and the pressure doesnt need to be complete a vacuum as the amount of time you’re drawing should not be long enough for the pressure to escape. You should no doubt already know what a syringe filter is and how to filter your AAS if you are using. but yes you can do a basic search for it and bring up multiple threads im sure, or google it 
02/02/08 training
Band triceps extensions
3x50 reps
Band biceps curls
3x40 reps
My roommate wanted to train legs this morning, but since I trained them 2 days ago, I figured it would be best to not hit them. Since I also was up late doing homework last night, I didn’t get to bed till around 2:00am. I figured it would be best to get a good sleep in and just recovery today. I am working on creating a new training template (one that will be more bodybuilding friendly, especially for my cycle.
Arms are pretty sore today too. I didn’t even feel like I hit my arms hard yesterday, so I am assuming they are sore from not hitting them in a while.

Off to the grocery store to buy a bunch more needed food (lean ground beef, eggs, brown rice, raisins, bananas, just to name a few of the items I will need on my shopping excursion). Something I NEED to start doing is making sure I have all my meals made the night before. This saves an endless amount of time.
Also, I am getting VERY sick of organic green beans, but they are the cheapest my grocery store has to offer in tems of veggies, so I have been sucking it up.
Got to walmart and realized there was only one kind of burger bun. Although they were whole wheat, they contained “high fructose corn syrup” which pissed me off quite a bit. But, calories are calories, and being that I eat so healthy as it is, I don’t think a little corn syrup will hurt me too much at least. Also, I picked up a scale to weight myself, so I can start weighting every morning.
Do I need a 1.5" needle to shoot my glutes? Reason I am asking is because the company I purchase through only sells 25g needles in 1" length (that will fit my syringe). Is this ok?
Most use a 1.5 to shoot glutes because once a 1.5 is buried you know you are deep within the muscle. its just easier. it can be done with a 1" depending on the amount of fat, also if you shoot with a 1" make sure you bury that needle entirely before you shoot it.
Here’s is a picture of my milk thistle that I will be taking while on my cycle. Shit cost me 34.95, but I wanted a half way decent product. I heard good things about this one. Also, the place I purchased this from only sold one milk thistle herb, so I was stuck with this one. I tried to post a picture of my anti-estrogens a few days ago, and they got deleted. So I won’t try to post them again.
Also, here is a picture of my 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol and the cotton balls I will be using to sanitize (not that you should care or anything)

I am picking up some 20g for drawing. I could go with the 25g 1" for shooting, but since I have a lot of fat, I don’t know what I should do.
Buy some 1.5 inchers online… it’s cheaper than in the store anyway…
What company manufactured your syringes?
research supply company is where I bought them, and terumo is the type of syringe.
terumo syringes have interchangeable needles, just buy a pack of 25g 1.5" and you set? terumo makes it easy, just buy a size needle to draw with and a size to shoot with. change the pin after drawing and you’re set to shoot, as you should use a fresh pin to shoot anyway because believe it or not the stopper does dull a needle.
I didn’t see that option from my supplier otherwise I would have taken it. They only sell 25g 1" needles, unfortunately. Maybe there is other supplier that sells these?
I always recommend getting BD syringes…
For one reason or another I find it’s easier to get a better grip on their “handles” as opposed to Terumo…
You should be able to interchange them anyway. Check your messages…
As I had mentioned in my post, I got a digital scale yesterday. I weighed myself today right after I got up nekkid (I went to the bathroom twice before too), and the scale said I was 181.2lbs. I was surprised by this because a month ago, at my gym, the scale said I weighed 193lbs with clothing on.
I figured my clothing probably weighed 3lbs, so I guessed my bw was 190lbs. Needless to say, I took an old 25lb dumbbell at put it on my scale, and it read 23.8lbs, so I don’t think my scale is 100% accurate. There is no way to calibrate it either. Since it is a scale though, it should be pretty precise. Being that, it should be a good tool to track my progress.

Thursday: chest, core
Friday: upper back
Saturday: legs (dead), quad emphasis, core
Sunday: off
Thats quite a strange split you have arranged there. Id reccomend something different, but its likley not worth my time typing something out.

Didn’t do because I just added it
Workout notes:
Overall workout went well. I was still sore from training arms last week Friday, so I don’t feel I hit is as hard as I could have had I been rested. Biceps tendons were killing me on the DB negative preacher (especially in the lower position). I am very hesitant to train arms heavy because they get it hard too on days such as chest and shoulders. My workout partner wants to do them, so I just tag along. I have him doing a lot of shit he doesn’t want to do, so I figure I should at least do an exercise he wants to do. That is one big disadvantage from training with someone else.
I HATE training arms. I would much rather be training squats/deads. Anyways, they are something I really need to bring up so I will grind it out with as much effort as I can.
