Shooting Frequency

[BigRagu]

hi all i'm glad to be back to the forum.......I know that if u inject in the same spot over and over again u could cause muscle damage..... well my question is how long should u give a certain spot a break b4 reshooting in it..and what kind of damage can occur.... i usually do my shots like this......... R shoulder L shoulder...R shoulder L shoulder... R thigh L thigh......... then restart the rotation.... is this too much in the shoudlers?

Just make sure that you don't hit the exact same spot every time. There's lots of meat to inject into so spread it around.

I think the only tissue damage your going to get is from the pin itself. I only use glutes Mon and Thurs because i can get more volume in them but here is what else i like to do. .. I use an 18g pin to draw and a 23g to inject. I actually bought 23g syringes with pins attached and then just bought 100 18g pins (tops). It's way too hard to draw with the 23g but it comes out fast with the 18g. I would even go with 25 or so gauge for inject if i were site injecting. I think if you use a small enough pin and don't move around alot,your not really going to get much scar tissue .. also i probably wouldn't use more than 1ml for site injects but maybe if your bigger you can get away with more

well i use an even smaller pin then all of u do....... i draw with a 22 gauge and shoot with a 25 gauge......... i'm only injecting 120mg once a week so thats close to only 1/2 an ml................

Sounds like that's gear for gear use but it still applies to TRT as well. With minimum volume and maximum rotation you shouldn't have a problem.

yeah then it's not even worth getting the 18g tops but if you ever do go with a higher dose just order some 18g tops and it's just so much easier to draw. I had 100 25g but when i ran out i ordered 23g. I thought i originaly had 23g which is why i ordered them. After they can i found a 25g i had left but i'm happy with the 23g

believe it or not drawing with the 22g taking under a min and it's not hard at all........... injecting with the 25 gauge is even easier......... the needles in me for a max of 15sec........... 5/8 inch 25 gauge in the shouders....1inch 25 gauge in the legs works great for me........ even though i have been gettnig pain shooting in the shoulders lately...........

18G eats up the stopper and can even leaves pieces of the stopper in the vial. I'm using a 22G to draw right now, although I'm going to request 20G syringes and go with that in the future.

I'm using 21 to draw & 23 to shoot. I mainly do my thighs - roatating between them each week.

Does anyone else only do their thighs - so each one gets 1 shot every 2 weeks ? or do you recommend using more sites ?

I use the same hole when putting the 18g in the stopper and never have a problem. If you have sharp pins it shouldn't eat up anything.
