I am generally one of those that reads a lot but doesn’t generally post unless I have something specific to say/ask so here goes.
Age - 38
Weight - 224
Years Lifting - On and off for 20 but seriously for 5ish.
Bodyfat - Not as low as I am aiming for but not too bad for an almost forty year old accountant stuck at a desk all day. Probably high teens.
I have been thinking about a cycle for a number of years but wanted to read up before I took the plunge (excuse the pun). For my first I wanted to keep it simple and with the wide availability of Sust where I live I have decided upon 1ml every 3 days for 12 weeks.
While looking into pct I came across Prisoner’s Test Taper sticky. I have decided to go down that path and based upon his comment about 1mg 3x per week for six weeks (for Sustanon) prior to tapering off I have a couple of quick questions.
Firstly, rather than 3x per week would there be any issue with just going every other day at 0.1333 ml (my basis for this is that 100mg is 40% of 1 amp then divided by three). Bonez (I believe) advocates just putting a full amp in and leaving what is left in there then changing the pin each time I want to inject. Would there be any problem with 2 amps so that there is 500mg in the barrel and then following the dosage above until it is gone. My only concern is that it will be in the barrell for almost five week. Is this too long?
Secondly, and hopefully shorter, around the time I start the stasis period I am going on a six day break abroad and will not be able to take anything with me. If I injected the full 100mg on the morning before I go will it cause any issues for the stasis/taper if I then left it for 6 days until I camoe back and then carry on as above.
You could backload insulin monojects. However, since they are 0.5" pins, you would have to choose sites where there is a minimal amount of bodyfat (perhaps triceps, biceps, delts, and so on). This would certainly make the EOD schedule simple, especially with the small volume.
Regarding the taper, I believe Prisoner recommends only injecting once a week when tapering (although I think he prefers a single ester such as Test E or C), which means a 6 day break would be fine.
I think insulin is something I want to leave well alone. I am certainly not well read enough on it to even consider it but from what I have read if you don’t know what you are doing then it can go seriously pear shaped.
I will double check the sticky to make sure I have it right regarding the taper.
There’s a bit of confusion here, I think perhaps I didn’t explain enough. I am not recommending that you use insulin. What I’m saying is that you can use insulin syringes (these are 0.5" 29G needles fixed to a 0.5ml or 1ml syringe) for such small volume injections.
The idea is to draw from the amps using using, say, a 3ml syringe. Then you remove the plunger from your insulin syringe (making sure you keep it sterile) and fill it with the desired amount of oil. You put the plunger barely in, just enough to seal it, and tip the syringe back to move the air to the top. And then you push the air out. Repeat as necessary.
The 29G needles are painless, and make ED or EOD injections very easy.
As soon as I saw the word insulin my mind took it in the wrong direction. Easy to do with the written word on an internet forum. I should have taken a look at what backloading was before I responded.
Thanks for the advice, I will certainly look into it.

Rational Gaze,
When you inject the triceps or the biceps, do you flex your muscle while putting the slin pin in, or do you keep it relaxed the whole time?
I didnt know you could inject bi/tri I thought only VG, glutes and delts to avoid complications… I understand that you need lean muscles for slin pins but… wow. Ballsy. Excuse my inquiry lol.

Whats this mean?[/quote]
Well, from what I understand, slin pins are ideal for sites with relatively low bf% because of the shorter needle. The biceps and triceps are obviously significantly leaner then the rest of the body, but I didnt think that mattered because I have never heard of someone ever injecting there. Sorry for the lack of clarity I tend to be on this forum late at night.
