Sub Q vs. IM testosterone injections results

[sportsradio]

On balance, I have spent a lot of time researching studies and opinions/logs of others, seeking accurate results/data.

Readily available are a couple of studies; The Saudi Med J. from 2006 and the Canada study with C.M. Chang. Also, Dr. Crislers' video of sub-q injections reinforcing the results are effective.

My findings from research are; The serious body builders still like the results of IM and older men, generally prefer the sub-q method.

Anyone here know of the effectiveness from other studies and/or have tried sub-q themselves?

I have read a handful of anecdotal experiences that sub-q injects work. I haven't read any formal medical abstracts on the subject. I believe there was a thread a few weeks ago where one of the guys mentioned he did sub-q injects and it worked fine. I'd continue your research, especially looking for medical abstracts.

the risk of subQ is that you will develop an abscess. you want to get it in the muscle to prevent that.

don't believe me? do 3CC's into your belly fat sub Q and let me know how it goes

^^^ Haha yeah I'm definitely with Stevesmi on this one, and it's not like it hurt hurts but you'd be shocked if I told you sub q hurts more than IM, at least in my experience it has.

^Bingo. I agree 100%. For TRT purposes on a low volume of oil, you may be able to get away with sub-q, but I wouldn't even risk that. When you are running a cycle with more oil, you are definitely going to want to go IM. I would just inject deep into the muscle to be safe no matter what.

^^^ it would be really close.. if you did 1CC of a long estered oil once a week into your belly subQ you would have to avoid that spot for about 2 weeks to let the oil dissipate.

I actually posted about a dude who PM'd me on here who injected 2CC's into one side of his stomach and he got a huge knot that took about 3 weeks to go away, he gave me permission to tell others about his experience.. he will never do that again

My buddy who does TRT daily via subq (20mg daily) says he notices some mild bruising
at sites sometimes but swears by its effect.

20mg a day you could get away with it.

I will meet things halfway.. if you are scared of needles that much then use a 29G slin pin.. load up 3 of those suckers and inject as deep as you can. it will take a lot of time vs. just pinning 25G a full 3 CC's into the muscle
