I know this post is about a month or two old, but in looking for disposal procedures myself I came across the following site from BD (the company that makes sharps containers). It contains a list of "Household Sharps Disposal Guidelines by State"...

I personally use a 28g 1/2" insulin needle on my delts. With 1/2", I believe that's considered shallow IM. I also alternate and pin my quads, as well, with the same size needle. I used to use a 22g 1.5" to draw and 25g 1" to inject, but now moving to the 28g 1/2" is perfect for me. I've never...

I draw and pin with 28g 1/2" EasyTouch insulin needles. As others here do, I pin shallow IM into quads and delts (alternating between each pin). I recently started pinning every 3.5 days with Nelson's method of including both TCyp and HCG in the same syringe. That makes it a lot easier with just...

I just went to their new facility at lunch to pick up a refill and boy was I impressed! I'm not privileged to see the back area, but this place looks top notch! No doubt I would trust EmpowerPharmacy for all my prescription needs, for pick up or shipping! Oh, and the rain has stopped......for...

I used to use 1" 25g needles on my quads (deep). After reading many posts on this site, I switched to 1/2" 28g insulin needles on my delt (shallow) and now pinning is painless. At times, on my quad with the 1" 25g, it would feel uncomfortable with some pain and a LOT of nerves (probably because...

I just started taking Lipo-C from Defy early last week. I pin 1ml EOD and I can say I've noticed a slight increase in energy a few hours after taking it (like Fireproof, not sure if placebo affect as well). I may try the 2ml as separate pins on separate quads (I've only pinned quads to this...

Thanks, JT. You always have great feedback! That makes sense on the timing, as well. I'll call and see if I can switch my appointment to Tuesday morning instead. If I can't though, can I just switch my timing to be Tuesday night and Friday morning and take the labs Friday morning? If I do that...

I've done that with my 2ml bottles. It's like "alcohol abuse"....you can't leave that last bit of beer in your cup! The only way I wouldn't personally do that is if the TCyp is from two different compounding pharmacies. I say that because I'm on my last 1ml of TCyp from a previous compounding...

10-4, JO. I don't mind the pinning. Heck, I actually look forward to it knowing how it makes me feel the next few days, but less is always good! ;)

I read the links, that's interesting indeed JO. Yes, I was taking 200mg cyp once a week when I did those labs at day 4. I'm sure that's why my T and Estradiol results were that high. I had a issues with back and chest acne, sensitive nipples, and lost some wood while on 200mg cyp once per week...

Thanks, max. I've changed my diet and it's shown quite a bit trimming down 2 pant sizes. Yes, I am overweight and working on that now. Clothes is fitting a lot better and had to start digging into the back of my closet as well. I'm now working out 3-5 days a week, mostly weight lifting but...

Hey, John. I just posted my labs I took mid-February. Those showed Hematocrit levels of 52.9, which is why I started donating blood. When I took the labs in mid-March they showed my Hematocrit levels had dropped since I had donated blood. Do you think I should schedule blood donations every 8...

Thanks for responding JT. I've taken a total of 3 labs. The first one was before my TRT: The second set of labs was taken on at my trough, the morning of my injection (injection was taken after I got home from doing the labs). These results were from a 200mg TCyp protocol once every two...

I've posted my full details in my testimonial, linked below: https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?6720-TRT-Success-due-to-ExcelMale-com However, I wanted to see if you guys could take a look at my labs to see if there's anything to be concerned about. Basically, I was previously on...

I'm glad I found this forum a few weeks back. Here's a bit about me and my background. I'm 39 years old and originally started on TRT in May of 2015. When I did my first labs back in April 2015, I had the following results: After reviewing those results with my doctor, at the time, he put me...

Same as Nelson, I also had Carpal Tunnel surgery at the Brown Center in Houston on both hands at the same time. I can attest that was a nightmare doing both hands at once due to the pain while bathing and wiping. Anyhow, at the time of my symptoms, I tried everything. Gloves, braces, and even...

Thanks, Jackie. Contacting Defy for more details.

Thanks, Vince. Does this work just as well as the injection type?

I've been adding 2.5 to 5lbs each week to my routine (depending on the exercise). So far I'm able to keep up, but I think I may have to stay at this weight I'm using for bi's for the moment. I'm starting to notice a bit of swinging and realize I'm not using proper form, so I may either bump it...

Thanks, Gene. Right now I'm weight training 6 days a week with one day off. In between I'll get some cardio in, but I haven't focused on that too much, to be honest. Only when I can't get the energy up to weight train have I done like 10 miles on my stationary bike. I can only work out during...

Also, does anyone use occlusion bands/straps or is it not recommended while on TRT? Or will that enhance blood clotting? Not sure if that's been discussed on the forum, sorry. Just thought I'd ask since this thread is already open.

That's definitely good to know, but then how will you know you're getting a good workout in? Just based on your pump at the end of the workout, full squeeze at contraction and making sure you're working to failure?

I believe there are 4 types of injectible B12: Methylcobalamin Cyanocobalamin Hydroxocobalamin Adenosylcobalamin What kind is the most effective for energy boost, fat burning and mental clarity/focus? And also, is it ok to take any of these while on TRT?

I've been on TRT for about a year now, but have not really worked out the past 11 months because I still didn't have energy due to being on a low protocol. I've lost a few pounds here and there, but never really did any weight training until now. I've been weight training for about 3 weeks now...

I know what has helped me in the past is a heating pad, some pain medication, and a vibrating massager. I would switch between the massager and the heating pad while laying and watching TV. After the first injection, I got used to the pain, but I don't get it all the time. Also, I noticed that...

Lord Baby Jesus....put a shirt on! Someone's bound to ask you questions!!!! Hahaha.....I wanna grow up to have muscles like Loki and Nelson!

Maybe we're related....lol I know I personally haven't taken my health as seriously as I should have the past few years, but over the past month I've been hitting it really hard with my diet, exercise, and new protocol (still dialing that in). So far I'm down about 10lbs in 3 weeks and I can...

For the past year or so I've been pinning my quad with a 25g 1" pin. Every now and then I did encounter some pain for a few days after the injection. Since I've read other posts on this topic, I've switched to a 27g 1/2" and I have found it to be much more tolerable. Also, today I tried pinning...

Niiiice!!! Watch out now.....lol

That's definitely a good point, now that I think about it that way. Those are some crazy gains! I guess I will have to report back in 25 yrs! hahaha Getting dialed in with my protocol is obviously my first step to feeling better, which thanks to your previous post on another thread has helped...

Holy crap! And here I was complaining about how I was feeling on 200mg TCyp a week and 1,500 IUs of HCG with my T levels above 1,300! There's no way that type of stuff is healthy or even feels good (meaning the crazy amounts you mentioned some of those guys take). Hell, once I switched to...
