IM vs. SubQ

[cadcard]

I've always injected IM Test C with a 28g 1/2 syringe. I've just seen the Dr. C (RIP) video. Are T subq injections really just as good, if not better than IM?.

There's a clinical trial showing very similar results for IM and SQ. I certainly prefer to avoid putting holes in my muscles.

Cataceous, thanks for the reply.

I use 29a 1/2 needle and inject daily. I have a weekly rotation of body parts, some are belly fat and some are butt muscle. I can not tell a difference.

I'm starting my TRT either tonight or tomorrow morning... what is your typical daily dose, and how do you feel/what are your #s for TT/FT/E2? Do you prefer to take your shot in the morning or night, or does it not matter much?

Thanks!

where are you injecting that you're getting IM with a 1/2" needle? You'd have to be incredibly lean to hit muscle with that short of a needle anywhere except *maybe* your delts.

I could hit a muscle anywhere in my body with a half inch needle.

I have done sq injections for about eight years with no problem. I highly recommend them. I use a 6mm 31g insulin syringe. I pull my skin away from the muscle to avoid hitting the muscle.

An exception doesn't disprove the rule. You're like, what, 8% body fat? The standard length of 1-1/2" for IM is set for a reason ;-)

Don't the muscles heal?

In severe cases, long-lasting or permanent scar tissue can build up.
