I am currently injecting intramuscular but considering switching to sub q after reading this article. Curious to hear from the sub q crowd.
It’s the same thing bro.
If you’re pinning high volumes of oil, go IM. If not, subq or IM are both great.

I felt horrible on SQ, but not IM. If you’re not having any problems, if it isn’t broke…

My bloods prove that for me, IM and Subq are no different

I find my total t goes up with im pretty significantly. I’m able to do shallow im with a 29g, 1” very comfortably and timely as I use ~120mg / wk with 250mg/ml test so very little oil. Any other compounds are therapeutic / baby doses. Subq seems messy by comparison now. I’ve grown to really like the lat injection btw.

SubQ doesnt always work for some people.
I have everything dialed in subq and no complaints. No stiffness from jabbing muscles either.
I’ve not even once gotten pip in my lats. I use 27 gauge 1/2". I am pretty lean so, the 1/2" seems to work for me. I only pin lats now, I prefer lower lats.
Never done lats. Do you have any good links for technique?
Dug through some lab work.
1 inch in glute had put me at 1100+ on trough with twice a week injection.
1/2 inch into glute put me at 800+.
That’s fairly recent times if I dig further back years ago I actually was able to get trough around 800 with 1/2 inch to the glute on E5D schedule, but I guess I was leaner back then (which I was).
Giving you actual world experience with numbers. In my case I don’t think it messed with overall ratios or E2 conversion or anything, it just simply absorbed less. So if I was to justify it to make sense for me, it would be me doing ED or EOD injections I would go higher over all weekly dose subq.
I’ve been reading something similar in other posts how subq is absorbed less. My question is: if the same amount is injected and in subq it’s absorbed less, what happens to the amount that doesn’t get absorbed? Where does it go?
I had higher estrogen, it killed my libido, i slept better, i did daily subq mon-fri. I played around with the dose on subQ for an entire year, seemed like any time i would increase the dose, i’d get a temporary boost in libido(very temporary) I tried dosing higher amounts less times a week, 3times a week, 2 times a week, didn’t do a thing. HCT was better, sleep was better(didn’t snore) I went on vacation one time, so I did the entire next weeks dose subQ on the previous Friday. My libido was awesome for a week. I tried to replicate that with weekly shots and it didn’t work at all i think it was just the temporary increase since i was finishing up the shot for that week as well as the next. I switched back to IM after over a year, alternating delts, within a day no joke, libido and everything went back to normal. Was able to actually finish in bed instead of just trying forever and giving up. Checked levels after being on IM for a while HCT and everything went up a lot(hopefully a temp jump till body gets used to it) however, Estrogen was down a lot, total t was around the same amount. I was able to lower my dose and libido was still good. I recently saw this video https://youtu.be/5puYXpsEYww?si=CGTQW-OykkgSeZdb and it completely made sense for me. Some people however, have none of these issues at all.
