What size needle did you use? I’ve tried 1” and 1/2” needles in the quads and I much prefer 1/2” because if I use a 1” my whole leg feels super sore the next day. I mainly inject in my glutes and shoulders to avoid soreness but quads are definitely an easy area to inject, just not a fan of how I feel when using a 1” needle.
@balancemyhormones8 сағат бұрын
I used a [needle size] for this one. 👍 Yeah, ½” works great for many in the quads, while 1” can sometimes cause more soreness. Glutes and shoulders are solid choices too!

Exactly! 🔥 A Luer lock ensures a secure connection between the syringe and needle, preventing leaks or detachment during injections

Great video Mike. It’s about time proper injections techniques where shown on the channel and from personal experience like yourself of years of TRT treatment. But I know it is a fine line on KZbin but with yourself there is a medical need. Love the quads. With a tan your quads would looks diced and I am sure a few feathers in them tear drops too😃💪💪 Vampire. 😆😆😆 I will excuse as it’s winter and even my Mediterranean skin passed down is fading.

I'm in my 40s, overweight, chronically fatigued. Recently had my testosterone level checked. I'm at 319. Testing again in 3 weeks, and if still in the same range, I'll be seeing a urologist for trt. Are injections better than creams? I'm just so tired of feeling like crap all the time. Will trt help? I had a milk allergy as a baby and was feed a soy-based formula. Could this have caused low testosterone?

It depends. His quads are lean so he hits muscle immediately. But if you have a very thick layer of fat, you will need a longer needle to get through it.

isn't it best practice to pull on the plunger once the needle is all the way in to make sure you are not in a vein or artery?
@balancemyhormonesКүн бұрын
Good question! Aspiration isn’t usually needed for quad injections since major veins/arteries aren’t in the area, but some still do it as a precaution. Always follow best practices!

@doitordont6150Күн бұрын
What size needle is that? And is it reaching the muscle? I am thinking about getting on TRT but afraid of those big needles. Currently, I am on Hcg and Enclomophine, but it hasn't fixed my libido issue so I'm think trt will be the next step. If I could use a little needle like the one I use for hcg in my stomach that would be great cause I'm already used to it
@balancemyhormonesКүн бұрын
Great question! This is likely a 1-inch needle, which is usually enough for quad injections, but some may need 1.25-1.5 inches to ensure deep IM absorption. For TRT, insulin needles (like for HCG) are often too short for muscle injections, but some do subq (under the skin) TRT instead. If you're considering the switch, a doctor can guide you on the best option

Great video! I've gone from SubQ, IM in the glutes & gluteus medius but I much prefer the quad. Fortunately I've lost enough fat I can use a 1/2in 27Ga insulin needle and avoid my veins as I can see them now. Much easier and less stressful. Still can't dart my leg though😅just one psychological hurdle I can't surmount.
@balancemyhormonesКүн бұрын
Glad you found what works best for you! Quad injections are super convenient, and using a 1/2in 27G needle makes it even easier. And yeah, the mental block with darting is real! 😅 But as long as it's smooth and painless, that’s what matters!
@PaulTNYC2 күн бұрын
You might in the future describe better the whole one needle for draw and one needle for injection. Show that you take off the 18 gauge and - not sure as it is not shown - and replace it with what I think by the blue color might be a 23 gauge - which is less painful. A 18 gauge for the actual testosterone injection is not needed and you do not mention the gauge of the injection needle. Either at 2:25 when you refer to the second needle but don't descibe and also at 5:54 when you refer to it and also don't show it being put on. Otherwise it is a fine video but I do think that is a key ommission.

Once the needle is inserted into the chosen site, Aspiration is a good idea to ensure you are injecting into a muscle. Pulling back the plunger and finding either nothing or an air bubble at the needle end of the syringe confirms that you have inserted into a Muscle. If you see blood, stop, remove the syringe and needle, and start again, choosing a slightly different site.

I fee like cypionate is a far better mood enhancer that enanthate. It a word its smoother. Enclomiphene 🤔 Kisspeptin 👎🏼 @28:00 testosterone may roughly feel like its a cure for all that ails you since its low production can cause the decrease in a dozen symptoms both physical and mental. For example, its a remedy for anxiety and low mood. Even if those two things aren't initially caused by low testosterone. Test can still boost dopamine and serotonin which themselves play a vital role in relieving anxiety and improving mood, as well as many other bodily functions. No wonder people feel like its a universal cure-all. Lumps and bumps. From too frequent injections sub Q.
