[QUOTE="MidwestNomad, post: 131125, member: 18869"] I’m a low SHBG guy with 22% bodyfat (skinny fat)..SHBG is 23. I’ve heard SHBG guys need more frequent injections. If that’s true, then wouldn’t SubQ be better for them as I’ve heard the Test levels are more stable? I have 27 gauge 1/2” needles for injection. Originally I wanted to inject SubQ into my stomach and buttocks, however, I don’t want any “leakage” into my joints causing me to miss a weeks worth of work. I also don’t want the lumps that come with SubQ. This makes me consider doing Shallow IM. I feel like 1/2” needle could get into the muscle if I inject into the shoulder and MAYBE ventroglutial, but due to my high BF I’m not sure. Here are my main questions: 1. What precautions should I take to not get leakage when injecting that affect my joints, ability to walk, ability to move, etc? 2. If I were to inject 1 time per week Shallow IM and then the other SubQ would there be a major difference in the swings and/or outcome? I honestly am afraid to inject into the outer quad as I’ve read a lot of horror stories of inability to walk, hitting nerves, etc. I’m doubtful about the buttocks for similar reasons, and the stomach site is unappealing due to the large lumps I hear about. So I’m thinking VG and Shoulders..even though VG maybe SubQ for me. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
