Testosterone Peak by Injection Method

[Indy57]

Question-

Is there a difference in when your testosterone level peaks if you inject with a 29 gauge 1/2” insulin syringe in the shoulder ( for example ) or if you were to inject with a 23 gauge 1” in the glutes?

I’ve tried both and feel that the smaller gauge in the shoulder seems to take longer to absorb ( or peak I guess ) is this just me or has anyone else noticed the same thing?

Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure, but when they did a study using nandrolone decanoate, the deltoid injection had a slightly smaller peak and took longer to reach the same levels as a gluteal injection of the same dose.

Interesting! So I wonder if it does take longer to peak could that be another way to help keep E2 under control given the same dose for each?

I'm not sure if it would be enough to drastically effect e2, but the general theory is that less of a spike makes less e2.

This is all in your head

One thing that has been demonstrated clinically is a substantial difference in absorption rates or apparent half lives between intramuscular and subcutaneous injections of testosterone enanthate. I'd expect more subtle differences, if any, between various intramuscular locations.

I've been trying to better understand this idea. Is it saying that we're just more sensitive to peak estradiol, or that more total estradiol is produced when there are larger variations in testosterone around the same average level?

What I meant was that even though there is a variation in the muscle you choose to inject, I don't think that slight variation is enough to make a difference. However, if you're just talking about a general theory, its that the less spiking that occurs, the better.
