First shot pain and soreness. Testosterone enanthate.

[ativish]

Just have my 1st glute shot of test E this sunday. I had it in the afternoon and I didn't feel anything but later in the night I was in so much pain. I can't lift my leg and I was sweating alot. Is this normal?? This is the first time I am on any steroids. This is My first cycle so I am going for 250mg testosterone enanthate per week for first 4 week and next 6 week 500mg. Let me know if pain is normal and how how much time does testosterone take to come into effect.
Thanks as always. Awesome forum.

Some post injection pain is completely normal for your first injection. You were probably a little nervous and wiggled the needle during the injection. You made a small bruise in the muscle. It's nothing to worry about at all.

Here are some tips for reducing PIP:

1. Heat up the oil prior to injecting. Run the vial under hot water for 1-2 minutes. Heating up the oil will bring it closer to body temperature and make the oil disperse from the muscle into the blood stream much easier.

2. Gently massage the injection site for 1-2 minutes after the injection. It'll help disperse the oil into the blood stream.

3. I am a big advocate of training the muscle you injected into that day. It'll help disperse the oil from the muscle into the blood stream. In other words, try to time your glute injection on the day you train legs/glutes.

Testosterone enanthate has a half life of 10.5 days. As a general rule, it takes 4 x the drugs half life to reach peak blood hormone levels. 42 days after you start your cycle is when you will notice the full effects of your cycle.

Are you using an AI with your cycle? An AI (aromatize inhibitor) is very important to prevent against estrogen related side effects like gyno and water retention. If you arent using an AI with your cycle, get aromasin and start dosing it at 10mg every other day. You can order it from ag-guys.com if you need a source

Thanks bro for the tips. you are good as always.

I have exemestane 25mg with me. so I am using quarter i.e. 6.25mg EOD. I guess that's OK?

my first injection hurt too.. it is the nerves and being shaky.

try a lower dose and try an easier spot to inject like the delts or the pecs

Nothing to worry about man. This is very common. It is just typical PIP. As you get better with your technique and have a steadier hand the PIP will decrease. After a couple weeks I bet you will have no pain after injections. The sweating is just because you are honestly worrying yourself about it. Wondering if you have done something wrong. Put your mind at ease and all will be good.

Could be ur gear too bro. My first batch was horribly painful. If u get pip every injection its most likely the gear. Ive switched to a new source and I rarely get pip now.

Probably its because it is your very first shot, thats why
