Is it normal to have killer pip first cycle?

ad

I got my gear from a well know. Source who is no longer on here. However the pip is really bad. My first shot was great, hardly any pip, but these last two have killed me. My shoulder and my ass cheek have both swelled up and became extremely sore. Is this normal for virgin muscles or is it the gear. By the way I've only been shooting 250 mg of test e per shot

My routine is

  1. Warm the oil for a few minutes in hot water
  2. Unwrap a fresh pin
  3. Clean the rubber stoppers with alcohol
  4. Draw the oils plus 1/2 to 1ml of filtered grapeseed oil
  5. Swap out the needle for a new one
  6. Clean the injection site
  7. Inject slowly without moving the needle around
  8. Massage the area for a few minutes

Out of all those steps the one the helped me the best to avoid PIP 99% of the time is to dilute with grapeseed oil. Amazing how well that works.

Not looking for a specific source here, but where does one find grape seed oil that is pure enough for this purpose?

a few tips that helped me, warm gear in syringe with heating pad, use fresh pin/ not the one you draw with(this should be a given), hold pin in for 5-10 seconds after shot, message after. Try to do your shots first thing in morning so your moving after and not sitting long periods if its a glute shot. I added some grape seed oil if it was a single type, sometime if you put two types together it helps with PIP, depends on how many Ml you are doing for that shot.. You may already know or have heard all these, just throwing them out there to help.

Try warming the oil in the syringe with warm water before injecting.

If your first shot went well then the gear is probably fine, I saw the brand your using in the gear pics on your profile and I think it's safe to say its just new muscles getting acquainted with the compound. Take ibuprofen every few hours and it will help a ton and after a few pins in each site of the test e your muscles will be used to it you won't even need ibuprofen anymore until you jump on a different compound. First time on test e 250 gave me pip, got used to it and then used test e 400 and got pip again until I got used to it, now my right quad is pretty much bullet proof lol. Enjoy your cycle!

This is the most likely culprit IMO. Carrier oil allergies are relatively common from what I have heard.
