Subq, Shallow, and Something Very Strange

Ok I am writing this to maybe help others who have had the same experience.

8 months ago I saw a couple threads here and in other forums where several guys were advocating injecting with insulin syringes half inch. They said how easy it would be and that you wouldn’t feel anything.
So I decided to go with it and it’s very strange I had the feelings that something was off. Libido tanked I lost water the last week’s…i had low test symptoms…and everytime I was injecting my shoulders I had a bump that lasted for days…

I tried to find out what the reason was…maybe my testosterone batch, maybe my body doesn’t react to test right now.
And my Arimidex dose was way too high and I got bone pain all over my body.

Then I thought ok let’s find out what changes I made the last week’s and I came up with only one thing.

Insulin syringes half inch…
I bout a 1 inch needle and this week I went on my shoulders again and Injected my dose and WHOA, energetic, i face totally bloated that I had to take a small dose adex and horny like hell…

How is that even possible? I hear so many people saying they have no problems with shallow muscular injection or that half inch is way enough for shoulders…i am around 12% bodyfat…and It seems I didn’t hit the shoulder muscles…and it was obviously subq…
So it seems like my body didn’t( or just a tiny) absorb the test
Did that happen to anyone else here?

You’re in the minority.

That’s what I am taking about. It’s a secret to me too. Everytime I Injected with insulin needle in my shoulders I had pain and a bump which I could feel when I touched…it was inside the muscle …my shoulders are big but not bodybuilding pro big. So I don’t know what the reason is …
Now with 1 inch in my shoulders no bump no pain and my heart beat again faster …how it used to be when I am on TRT . Before 64 and now again 72…it’s a shame because Injecting with insulin needle is so Relaxed even tho it takes long

Edit: maybe my shoulders are totally fucked from all the big oil injections so that the tissue is fucked and I need to go deeper?!?

Was going to say this. Likely very very shallow IM shot.

I’m definitely not 12%BF and have been able to hit IM shoulders with 1/2" insulin needles.

I probably have over 1000 guys using a half inch. No problems.

That’s my only explanation. My buddy does multiple steroids with only half inch …I think I will just stick with the 1 inch …don’t wanna experiment since I have to get back to my old level

Yes I definitely feel a resistance…
With one inch I just go all the way in and no bump no pain days after…i just did the second injection and I aromatize line before…so seems like the scar tissue theory makes sense

Really? Same proboem with half inch needle?

Yeah, I have experimented with different techniques, spots, IM, SQ, 1in to the delts has always been the best. But, I am worried about muscle growth and scar build up (my delts seem to grow slowly as is). So once I’m done with my Var cycle I will be trying glute injections and VG injections with labs to monitor any changes
