What is the best to start with for a steroid for someone who hasn't used for a long time looking to start again but injecting subcutaneously.

Thank you for all your help and suggestions
You can easily run 200 mg of test c or e per week using subq. Either pin daily or 3x per week. You're talking 34 units on an insulin pin 3x per week using test @ 200 mg per ml. Even less if you run test 250. Source: I do this.
Bare in mind that area will get sore quickly if you plan on doing multiple injections per week - ideally you need to be doing 2 minimum to get stable blood levels. Sub Q can be fine for some guys doing once per week TRT shots but to run a cycle I imagine its brutal. It will also limit volumes you can use should you choose to add another compound or increase a dose.
anvilI subq daily!!! Multiple per day! No issues,.
Do you not find the stomach area gets sore from doing it? When I have done short stints with just HGH I soon find it gets nasty, surely using oil it soon gets lumpy?
anvilI WILL NEVER DO STOMACH WITH OILS!
You will get a a hardened area that develops over time. I go VG, G , Thigh, Arms if I get bored.
Tell that to my TRT, endo doc.
Small doses (.5ml), pharma grade, at least 2" from left/right of belly button and love handles. You can get a good rotation.
Not suitable for Sub-Q is overdosed gear, too much "preservatives", large doses, and poorly brewed UGL gear.
Isn't this guy asking what steroid to use if he wants to inject Sub Q though? I've always taken that as a pinch of skin in the stomach area. Are you not referring to a straight forward shot with a 1/2" Insulin pin into one of the normal IM areas?
Most common protocol for depo test is one inject a week? I was on another app on the phone when I first came home. I’ve since deleted this app, the advice on the app was AWFUL,, I was looked at even crazier than a methhead stuck at the casino for 5 days O.o
At twice per week you could manage, but you’d be at the upper limit. Most don’t recommend more than 1mL subcutaneous injections and at 500mg/week you’d be at 1mL twice per week with 250mg/mL.
Personally I think even 1mL is too much. Id either go with more injects or just do IM if doing a cycle of any significant dose.
anvilMedically that's what it says but .75 is all I will push.
Yeah it seems like I lot. I was going to find a high mg/ml and do .5 max twice a week.
I’ve heard somewhere that the oil has to be compatible with a subq injection, in other words I just can’t take my regular old cyp in MCT and inject that subq?
Is this true ?
Oil type doesn’t matter. Just like anvil said as long as it’s sterile it’s all good.
anvilAll can be subq as long as its sterile oil. Subq depot can hold 1ml max.
I was worried about this too since I think many of the oils will be so difficult to inject as I was hoping to use an insulin type needle but that may not work?
anvilI use a insulin 29 gauge 5/8ths no issues . It won't be tuff at all. Unless you gonna blast like 10mls per week you are good to go.
He said it was fine. I use an insulin syringe and it works fine for me.
Testosterone is the obvious choice just like Greg said.
Can you explain why you chose such an exotic method? Seems odd because it will increase the number of weekly injections. Do you really need it?
Really only because I hit a nerve once injecting in my thigh. It made my leg bounce so hard when it hit that it bent my 23 gauge needle so I am a little gun shy. I use Retatrutide with Tirzepatide so I am ok with subQ
What are your goals, both short-term and long-term?
How risk averse are you versus how risk tolerant (or even risk hungry, aka reckless)?
I am not looking for anything crazy just really replacing my lowering T levels as I am aging
Test E or C
