[QUOTE="Dominatio, post: 89667, member: 16241"] Hi Folks I have been using Gentech Test 300 Enanthate (300mg/ml). Its incredibly thick and difficult to administer. I use 1ml 30g 12mm insulin pins to inject it, typically back-filling the syringe first. At first I was injecting E3.5D and using SubQ at 28mg each (100mg / week), but due to low results and concern over elevating E2 I switched to EoD @ 40mg each (140 mg / week). The dosage seems to be fine and I have another blood panel coming up next week to monitor it. Regardless of where I inject, this stuff is incredibly hard to get in, I need to press the syringe hard against my skin in order to press the plunger sufficiently to get the fluid in. Injecting SubQ results in a hard lump (stomach / thigh etc) which stays for days. More recently I have been using my delts and lately my glutes (shallow IM I guess), but in those cases I end up with a sore area around the injection site (muscular soreness) for at least a day. I'm assuming its because of the pressure I apply during the injection. Q: Is it the viscosity of the Test that is causing this or is it my injection technique? Q: Would a larger diameter syringe, say 2ml, make the injection easier? Q: Would a change to Testosterone 200mg (200mg/ml) reduce the thickness and therefore make the injection easier? I'm not sure if the strength of the Test actually affects the viscosity of the fluid, or if its just the Enanthate ester. I need to resupply anyway so have the option to swap it out with a different concentration or even ester if I need to! BTW I get my Test through a UGL as I don't have GP support for my TRT. Advice appreciated. [/QUOTE]
