simple PIP question

ad

I just started test prop 100mg eod, im about 10 days in. The pip is way worse than i ever remember test prop at 100mg/ml being. Ive been showering and letting the vial warm up in warm water before injections and then massaging the injection site. And i always inject slow as possible. still getting crazy pip, and lots of swelling.

I was injecing into the glutes, but ended up doing a delt injection because my glutes werent recovering fast enough.
Im wondering if its the gear, or if I can just no longer inject a full cc at a time anymore. (its been about 4 years since my last cycle, so my muscles may be "born again virgins")

I was thinking about moving to 50mg ed or even twice a day injections at 25mg. and using more injection sites. quads, delts, glutes and pecs.
wanted to see what some thoughts were on this one?

i agree with all of the below, however... I found that the biggest factor in reducing PIP for ME was making sure I work the muscle group i injected within the first couple hours of injecting. I did an experiment where i changed no other variables and this was the variable that made a night and day difference. Even if you hit delts and say its NOT shoulder day, say shoulder day was yesterday, if i just do a small set of one shoulder exercise it reduced PIP and doesnt negatively affect the healing of the muscle group.

thanks guys. I always was told to massage the area. I will stop that immidiatly!

and I will try and heat the oil up a bit hotter, and soaking in hot water as well.
I will follow up tomorrow!

And i really hope I havnt developed virgin muscles again. ill have to compare gear to another source. if its me, and I cant seem to reduce the PIP, ill swap to test e as my test for the next few cycles.

Recommend that you use a heating pad to heat up the oil and not putting the vial in hot water. I have read in several posts that using hot water has sometimes resulted in contaminating the vial.

Your probably right with the "born again virgin muscles" prop always has.a little pip, it's very possible it's the lab, too much BA and holy shit is pip major. There's so many variables when it come to pip but those two are the most common oh and need not I forget it could be eo or the carrier oil.
