[QUOTE="madman, post: 133577, member: 13851"] Insulin syringes (low dead space) 27-29 gauge 1 ml 1/2 inch are the most frequently used for trt. Depending on your dose/injection frequency you could even use .5 ml insulin syringe which for some are easier to read/measure dose when injecting smaller volumes (daily/EOD). Whether you choose to inject sub-q (subcutaneous) or i.m.(intramuscular) comes down to preference and what method is more comfortable as there are some who tend to have a bad reaction when injecting sub-q as they may develop a lump along with (pain/swelling/redness). There should be absolutely no difference between the absorption/effectiveness of the testosterone between injecting sub-q or intramuscular.....mind you some [B](small percentage of men)[/B] feel that sub-q is not effective for them. Most commonly used muscles to inject (sub-q or i.m.) would be shoulders, thighs, ventrogluteal and [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]abdominal fat (strictly sub-q)[/COLOR][/B] Testosterone cypionate or enanthate are the most commonly used esters for trt and both come in a strength of 100 mg/ml or [B]200 mg/ml (more commonly prescribed) as the higher strength requires less volume of oil to inject which is beneficial especially when injecting sub-q[/B] Many are usually prescribed 200 mg/ml strength.....so [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)].25 ml would = 50 mg (esterified testosterone)[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
