First Cycle Test Cyp: Help Wanted

[Future_ifbb_pro14900]

I plan on using test cyp for the first time at 500mg a week for 12 weeks, I’ve seen the beginner cycle post but I’m wondering how many needles needed? One for each injection? And how necessary is hcg during the cycle because I’m having a hard time with dosing and solutions and what not. Any tips are welcomed as well!

You shouldn’t need HCG for your first cycle. As far as pins go, at least 24 but generally they come in a box of 50 or 100. You generally want to pull your dose with one pin then change the tip out. You don’t want to stick your self with a dull needle. So realistically 50. Unless you preload a few in advance.

100 barrels 3ml with pins 21g will allow you to pull and then another 50 pins 25g is my preferred to switch to and inject with

Hcg isn’t necessary I need to edit that post its from 4yrs ago I believe lol things were different

If you’re interested in running hcg let me know I will post how to reconstitute and how to run

There ya go. Great advice. You can’t be too careful with sterilization.

I’ve dropped a full pin on the floor and tossed it and it’s contents. I could have probably salvaged the contents somehow but just didn’t take any chances.

I’ve had an infection before. Not tragic but it was at the time.

Please make sure you have enough of everything before you start… a little extra for oops situations wouldn’t hurt.

I would like to elaborate a bit here as I agree with @Bigmurph and do essentially the same thing. Also, the size (gage) of the needle is a tough and painful lesson to learn. So I want to help a brother out here.

@Future_ifbb_pro14900 what he is talking about is the syringes sometimes come with the needle part that can screw off and be replaced with another of a different size (gage). The higher the gage the smaller the needle.

Now remember that the test is thick as syrup. As such, you want a lower gage pin (I use a 21) to draw it from the vial. Then unscrew that one and screw on a smaller needle (I use a 25) to inject with. I also use a 1 inch (length), 25 gage as that goes deep enough for intermuscular injection. I have (stupidly) used a 21 to inject and those things leave a bleeding hole in you!

Excellent post brother I didn’t even think to include length and better explanation @Future_ifbb_pro14900 @Fred has got you brother what he posted is dead on
