On Saturday morning I injected 2cc into my left delt, which works out to 150mg of Test PP and 50mg of Mast P. Later that day I went to the gym and hit shoulders. Had a great workout, shoulder pressed the 120s for 6 with full ROM for a PR, did some machine work for side delts, later went to a wedding and ate a lot of food. Everything was dandy. Yesterday I stayed in and rested and watched football and ate all day. Everything was fine. Went to sleep, no stiffness in the shoulder or anything.
Today I wake up and my shoulder is inflammed. It’s not DOMS. The muscle is inflammed and tender to the touch and stiff. It is not hot (never is), but visibly swollen and red. Even the side of my arm and the top of my biceps and triceps is red and stiff now, and obvioisly I didn’t inject there. Now I’m going to be popping advil and tylenol just to get through work and be able to sleep, which obviously sucks balls, as taking NSAIDs after every injection is not going to be good for gains.
Seriously, what gives? What could I be doing wrong? It’s not the gear… I know multiple people that are running this brand with no issues, and not every injection is like this… but it’s basically every other injection which sucks so bad. I hit my right glute for the first time in a while about a week ago. Zero issues. Hit my left glute about 5 days ago and I’ve been knotted up and limping around ever since. Now the fucking shoulder is swollen. God damn it.
Is this just how my damn body is, super sensitive and reactive like this? I’ve hit my delts with slin pins and less than 1cc of oil and had even worse reactions than this. I just don’t understand. It fucking sucks. On one hand I’m injection drugs to build muscle, but on the other hand, half my injections are so painful and leave me swollen for a week at a time that I’m using NSAIDs almost everyday, which seems so counterproductive, and I never used them when I wasn’t on cycle. Does anyone have any ideas or advice because I’m fucking beat at this point. My cycle is just about over, the test I have will probably last 3 more weeks tops. I don’t even know if I want to do another one and deal with all this again. This PIP issue fucking sucks.
