New to pinning, got my game plan, but have a few questions...
First off I want to thank everyone in advance for all your advice. I have been a longtime lurker here and have learned a LOT. I have researched and researched and researched some more and I have my gameplan. Ideas about modifying it are welcomed!
First my stats:
28 y.o., 5'8" and roughly 140 lbs... not sure about my BF%, but lets just say winter was not kind to me as i'm a little soggy around the midsection.
plan:
after everything I read, i'm deciding not to go full on gung ho and run into ridiculous problems I dont need. I plan on running Test E 250 @ two times a week mon and thurs for 12 weeks. I was going to have some arimidex on hand incase of gyno or other sides. For PCT I am looking at CloMaDex (Clomid 50mg, Aromasin 6.25mg, Nolvadex 20mg) 2 weeks after last pin. I am going strictly for a Test cycle because 1 I want to avoid as many sides as possible, 2 I understand you can see amazing gains on test alone and 3 I want to assess my tolerance to these things.
questions:
I have looked at dozens of sites about where/how to pin. I plan on alternating glutes as they seem to be the easiest in most peoples opinion. I am confused about needle placement though. Half the sites say go in through the side, where the dimple of your butt would be. The other half say go straight in from the back side, where you would sit down. THEN I saw a warning a few times about not hitting your sciatic nerve.
WHICH WAY DO I PIN?! >_<.
For the PCT I understand I am to run it for 3 weeks, tapering it down each week?
I am trying to keep this under wraps from the wife and I dont want to end up passed out on the bathroom floor with a needle in my ass, I understand ALWAYS ASPIRATE but I am still a little worried about accidentally ramming a cc of oil into a vein... does it happen all that commonly?
goal:
I want to bulk up, get the big arms, big pecs and add some size to my stature. Given I am short, I dont need to look small. I have spent a couple years trying to bulk up and add some size, even bought weights for the house, a bench, pull up bar, kettles, the works, but to no avail. The gains are minimal even when im eating every carb and protein source in sight.
Nothing is ordered yet. I have done a lot of research and just want a few opinions on if this all looks feasible on paper. I have joined a local 24/7 gym and am ready to pull the trigger on this! Any suggestions on any aspect of this would be amazing. Appreciate all the help!

aree with most replys suggesting your not ready for steroids yet,but if your going ahead reguardless...what dose are you planning injecting twice a week,going test only for your first is a good call.id suggest not going over 400mg to start,run adex starting.25 mg every second day.keep it short 8 to 10 weeks,clomid onlypct will suffice.as far as pinning site for glutes i go 3 inches out from base of spine and 2 inches down.draw back on the plunger before injecting,any blood withdraw and try again..in reality the chances of entering a vein are extremely slight,but backdraw to be safe.you can make excellent gains on test alone,but diet is what will make or break it,assuming your training is in order....good luck
Do blood work to exclude any medical conditions (thyroid, low test) and then get your diet and Training in check and continue naturally. EARN it to even think about using roids..
I put on 40lbs naturally before I ever touched gear. Eat, take creatine, eat, go to gym religiously, eat again.
brother man a lot of good advice had already been given to you below, I completely agree you do not have a base to be using gear right now, eat big I mean big train harder and add about 35 pounds of solid mass to your frame and you can do that fairly quick if you dedicated then come back and think about gear
The answer you're looking for my friend is nutrition...food and lots of it! Figure your tdee and add 500 cals to it .....increase 100 cals every 2 wks ...do a 12 wk cycle of this and watch the scale climb!..
At your weight u r nowhere near your natty potential...all the gains u make will b solid permanant ones!.... Hell , no needles no pct , no crappy side effects,..this is the best weight / mass gaining cycle there is! Feel free to spread the word on how to truly pack on muscle!..good luck to you sir ...
Ace VenturaI came out of the womb at 5'7" 140. Eat and lift. You don't want a drug body.
5'8 180 lean should be close to where you max out, not 15% bf but 8-10% bf. Thats when steroids should come into play...maybe. Some will argue you can push further then that but I think thats a realistic number naturally with average genetics. When you get there think about steroids, at 140 gaining muscle will come easy, 25lbs your first year if you do everything right is not out of the queston, thats 165, the second year they say 12lbs ish, maybe 15 if you push really fucking hard. So come back in 2 years.
Any help on some of the questions?
That's absolutely nothing resembling a base for steroid use. Shouldn't even be considering using gear. You've posted that you're eating everything in sight, you're not eating enough or you have a medical condition that needs diagnosis. If you start taking gear now before you've figured this out you'll never hang onto your gains once off cycle.
My skinny roommate in college "ate all the time" and worked out hard. Translated: he drank 3 mountain dews a day with a doritos. Followed up by two trips to the gym a week where he played on the machines and shot baskets.
Well... you're kinda picking and choosing my statements there ^_^. I am saying, when i'm eating and training for gains... not that i'm just eating everything in sight. Soggy around the midsection for me is a little less than a 6 pack, lets call it a four. I am by no means chubby and am healthy as can be, doctors visits pretty regularly. Cant pack on the serious mass, feel like i'm in good shape for my size but I want to be far beyond that.
I'm not picking and choosing anything, you've completely missed the point. You're 140lbs, even if you're lean as hell that's no muscle base built. Numbers don't lie. Don't take my word for it, post up a pic in the self pics section and see what feedback you get when you tell people you're considering using gear.
5'8 140 and soggy around the midsection? I can't think of a good reason for you to be injecting anything unless you ran bloods and have low test or something.
k, soggy around the midsection was a bit of a stretch, but based on where I want to be its relative lol.
What does your diet look like?
