This may sound dumb, but that's why we ask questions, right?

Subcutaneous injections (just under the skin) would be appropriate for something like testosterone?
Intramuscular injections would be appropriate for what type of substances?

What is the preferred location for each type of injection & do you rotate locations? If so, give an example of how & where. Do you combine substances & take them in one injection, or multiple? Do you take them all the same day, or alternate?

I'm not having any issues, but I'm curious to know how others do it & if they add substances, how that's handled.

Testosterone is typically injected intramusculary because of the volumes used. People who inject testosterone subcutaneously are microdosing it and usually injecting much more frequently (eg daily).

I’m oversimplifying here, but for me, I tend to let the volume being injected be the determinant of whether it needs to be intramuscular or subcutaneous.

I've always had issues with pain after injection.

I try not to inject more than 1-1.5 MLS at a time. I've never injected an oil sub q but I guess it would work.

I inject in my shoulders, triceps, quads.Unusually the worst injection spot for me is my glutes. Always cause pain, no clue why

SubQ is for slow absorption (test, insulin, peptides) and goes in the abdomen, thigh, or upper buttocks, rotating spots to avoid irritation. IM is for faster absorption (test, B12, steroids) and goes in the glutes, delts, or thighs, switching sides weekly.
You can mix oil-based compounds (like test + deca) but not oil with water-based. Some take everything the same day, others space it out based on half-lives.

What happens if you mix oil and water-based compounds in the same injection?

Old school thinking is that it's no bueno.

The oil creates a deposit with the hormone that absorbs slowly , it was thought that mixing water with that would screw up the rate of absorption.

Is this true , has it ever been tested, I do not know. This is just what I was told long ago.

Things like Winny in water , im pretty sure you can just drink , why pin it at all ?

FWIW: I have mixed oil and water injections a lot for convenience. It hasn’t killed me (yet). I haven’t had to amputate any body parts. I didn’t feel any different. Just my personal experience.

Mix all you want. May be best to keep oil and water based stuff separate but I have mixed with no issue.

I pin shallow intramuscular. 1/2” insulin needle in traps, delts, lats, quads, and for glutes 1”. I do daily injections often so I like to have a rotation. Used to do ventroglute but quit those.
