Anyone here use SubQ for test injections instead of IM? If so, have you tried IM and what were the differences in your T levels?
I have 31g 1/2" needles I used for HCG but thinking of using 25g 1" needles and doing IM for the T shots.
The sticky mentions SubQ is just as effective. Anyone using this protocol long term? Any damage to fatty tissue or other problems using this method?
Just wanted to add I did my first IM injection
25g 1" needle 50cc of Test into my Quad.
Completely painless. I pushed it into my quad, aspirated, injected. Actually hurt less than the 31g into my delt.
Some info on how to properly inject.

I inject twice per week, one IM and one SubQ. I notice no difference between the two with regard to effect.
2nd IM injection done with 25g 1" needle into quad. Not so bad but this time my leg was twitching as I was putting the needle into my thigh. Maybe grazed a nerve.
Aspirated and injected no problems.
I will stick to IM, seems to be ok. My first injection, my quad was sore for like 3 days though.
ive done both, and find that sub q shots lump under my skin and hurt like hell, where as im goes straight in, might hurt for a day after, but not lump up, also some say the test stays in ur system longer with sub q shots due to it being in the fat cells? i dunno about this, but i know they hurt !! me at least
im in the ass cheek, or the shoulder, did quads 1 time…learned my twitchy leg a lesson and that is all!
