So I hear Stealth products have a rep for being painful. At first I thought they meant the actual injection was painful. After my fourth injection (2 on mon. and 2 on thurs) I now see that the pain is in the days after. I feel like someone frogged me in both my ass cheeks. I mainly feel it when I sit down or roll over in my bed. I’m not trying to sound like a pussy or anything, but it’s just a tad uncomfortable. I’ve read that the Stealth brand is a generic form of steroids.
So what exactly is it about their product that causes the pain. Will my ass get used to it or is this what I have to look forward to for the next 10 weeks. Doing leg workouts are a bitch. No pain no gain I guess.
whats frogged? injections can be a bit sore, how many mls are you injecting into your ass in one shot? I can’t do more than 2mls in my ass, I tried 3mls once and it lumped up and was sore.
some stuff hurts more than others.
I think as long as it doesnt fell hot or itch you should be OK, I once had a bruise that made my whole ass cheek purple cos my buddy jabbed it in hard ‘for a laugh’ (asshole!)
I’m running test E and EQ. 2cc of test in one cheek and 1.5cc EQ in the other cheek mon. and thurs. just for the first week. Now I’m cutting the test doseages in half for the remainder of the cycle. Getting frogged is when someone punches you (usually in the thigh) with their knuckles, not the way you’d punch someone in the face. Usually leaves a nice bruise and hurts like hell.
do you do the injections yourself or does someone do it for you?
administering into your ass by yourself is hard any movement of the needle can cause pain and bruising.
best way is to get soemone else to do it, ask them to do it real slow, remember to asperate, and jsu take it slow, lying down on a couch is best make sure you are not tensing your ass cheek too.
we like to call that a “DEAD LEG” anyway i dont know why test enanthate would give you a painful injection. is this your first cycle? do you know how to inject properly?
I feel your pain. Injections were usually painless for me but since I’ve begun with Syrus labs blend of 200mg Test E and 100mg Test PhenylProp, one of every two shots hurt like hell after 24-36 hours, for 4-5 days. Lumps, redness, argggh.
I’ve got very good gains, but the whole process is so uncomfortable that I’m questioning myself right now. I want to feel invincible, not limp like an idiot, feel bad overall, and not being able to train legs! Like I said, I’m getting good results but(t)…
Hey pin_head,
I know the pain you feel, just suck it up and brave it out for the first 2 weeks, it’ll pass as your muscles get used to the oil depot in them.
Am in week 6 of a Stealth Test E and Deca cycle, the first 2 weeks were the worst and I was limping around everywhere.
But once you get to the 2nd time you inject into the same muscle, it’ll be like 50% less painful and so on.
Just imagine you’re rambo trying to burn that bullet hole with gun powder. No tiny injection pain is gonna put ya down!
Yeah, this is my first cycle. I checked out a few web sites including spotinjections.com and feel like I have the proceedure down. I do it lying on the bed but I can’t reach my other hand around to hold it while I asperate and doing it with one hand is kinda tough without moving the needle around too much.
A couple times I just had to go for it. Except for working out my legs, I can handle the pain especially if it will only last a couple more weeks. I’m just ready for this shit too kick in.
I can’t do my own butt. I always do my upper thighs. Takes me a little while to work up the bravado and courage to jab it in, and then I just do it! AAAARGH…then I try to hold still, keep the leg relaxed, aspirate and slowly push all the oil in.
Sometimes I do it smooth and it doesn’t hurt. Other times I limp and have a stiff leg for two days. But, to me it’s a nice pain, a good pain, because it means that I’ve got the power of juice running through my system!

Good luck bro,I hope your experience is better than mine,after injecting my quads with Stealth Test-E they swelled to the point that my chiro noticed it through my pants,he thought it was a bad strain.I mean my entire outer quad was a good 1" thicker than prior to the shot this lasted for about a week,ventro glute not much better took a week for me to be able lift my leg enough to put on my own socks, PAINFUL!I’m going for glutes again today.The biggest problem is the pain is so intense for 3-4 days I can’t workout! Keep us posted,I’ll do the same
Is the pain primarily a result of alcohol content or something else?[/quote]
I didn’t filter because it was already in a sterile, pharmaecutical-grade ampoule, ready for injection. There was no alcohol content in mine, due to it being an oil-based product.
Now I’m experiencing soreness away from my injection, right above my left glute about an inch below my waist band. It’s almost the left side of my lower back. Could this be from the injection even though it’s about 4-5 inches away from it? There’s not a lump or even red or heat but hurts like hell.
Yes it coud be. In fact it most probably is. Prisoner22 says it is in the lymphs(sp?) that’s why it’s moving from the injection spot. It should disolve in 4-6 days. Otherwise, see the doc. From your description though, looks like a shitty but “normal” reaction to harsh gear. Dont buy that one again!
apply heat, heat, and more heat. I like to soak some face clothes in water, throw em in a microwavable bowl, zap em for like 4 minutes, and apply. do this many times over, a few times a day. anti-inflammatories help too, I like naproxen.

Actually it is the alcohol content that causes the pain. You have to use various alcohol mixtures to disolve the powder that the AS comes in. Then you combine that with oil, so generally speaking there is almost always alc. present in oil based gear. Its just the quality that differs, generally better quality=less alcohol and less pain. UG Labs are generally of lesser quality and are not held to the same standards as the big pharmacutical companies are.
Some people also have alergic reactions to some gear or to some of the chemicals used to manufacture the gear. Sometimes anti-histamines help in that case.
On the bright side, your body will adapt and the injections should become less painful over time. I know a bunch of people who complained about the pain of injecting test prop, and after a few cycles now they hardly notice it.
After a 38 day wait finally recieved the postcards and hit 4 cc’s of EQ and 3 cc’s of Test-e both Stealth into both cheeks today. The EQ site was a little tingly and my right foot twitched a little but the Test-e was so smooth I asked myself 5 minutes later “Did I forget the Test”. The EQ is VERY thick shit. Even under hot water it didn’t liquify much but the Test was a different story. So far zero complaints from me about the STEALTH line. I’ll probably be singing a different tune when I wake up tomorrow. There’s no feeling like heavy squats and lunges the day after sticking.
The pain is definately getting better for me. The soreness in my lower back has subsided. I’m now injecting 1cc of test and 1.5cc of EQ mixed into one syringe which is half the amount of test I was running my first week. I noticed that the test was more painful for me after the injection. My first week I did (mon. test/right EQ/left) than (thurs. EQ/right test/left). The cheek that got the test was noticeably more painful than the other one. It’s weird because I felt the EQ while injecting while I didn’t feel the test at all.
