Just did first ever pin!
 

Talk about showing my age! It took me ten minutes to remember how to start a new thread!:mad:

Anyway, just did my first ever pin. Given gallons of blood before, so no fear of needles whatsoever, but you'd think I was trying to defuse a nuclear bomb the way my hands were shaking.

Pinned my outer thigh and surprise, surprise, it didn't really hurt (didn't hurt at all actually). I did wimp out a bit and only injected about 100ml this time. If I'm still alive after squirting this nasty stuff inside me I'll do about 500ml to front load in my other leg tomorrow!:D

Never done this before, so not sure whether to expect a bad reaction by tomorrow. I'm prepared for it, so if it don't happen, then that's a bonus.

If anyone out there is terrified of pinning and takes orals because of their fear then take it from me, it ain't that bad! . . . not yet anyway

nice one, what where you injecting?

I'm doing test E only for my first cycle. Shouldn't be at this stage, but I'm still undecided whether to go for 400ml per week for 10/12 weeks or do a longer cycle of 250ml. I am 52! Not 32!

I started doing your suggestion of 3 warm ups and 3 working sets about a month ago, having worked out percentages etc and transferred that to whatever exercise I was doing and found it to be absolutely spot on. Every last rep of every set was just about all I could manage!

So, as a thank you, I'll let you decide which of the above two options to go for!

No pressure . . . and thanks for all your advice in all your posts so far.

I would go with the 400 or 500mg per week for 10 or 12 weeks
Its a fairly basic cycle thats tried and tested and it works well

I had a feeling it might be that one. Tried and tested always sounds good, so who am I to argue. I'll go with that.
Cheers, appreciate your advice

Lol stillgoing the hard parts over now the fun stuff...banging them bars in the gym!
I look forward to following your progress, hopefully pics soon...

Did my 2nd pin yesterday. 200ml (of test, not just oil)into my other quad this time. It was while doing this that I realised I'd pinned 100ml of oil which is just 25ml test the first time! What a knob! :o Oh well, I suppose the first go was more about not sending a dose of Test E through a vein and straight to my heart than turning into the incredible hulk!

I also realised that I'd forgotten to aspirate the first time. Won't make that mistake again. As far as the pain goes, no more than a mild dead leg feeling. The 2nd pin is worse than the first so I'm guessing that's due to 9 or 10 times more test/oil going in.

Felt a lot more confident 2nd time around, so hoping that 3rd time and onwards will be a breeze.

Don't panic, I'm not going to post every time I pin. I'm only really doing this so that anyone who's never done it before can learn from my mistakes and maybe have a slight insight into what it feels like. I'll probably 'post' (I always keep one) a proper training log next week . . .

Where do you get your figures from?
100mgs of test has about 77mgs of pure test not 25mg!

Right, I'm confused now.

I'm using the Kalpa testoxyl and was presuming/guessing that 100ml of the oil had 25ml of test or that 800ml of oil had 200ml of test!

I've obviously got it wrong, so how much oil do I need to pin to get 200ml of test?

Cheers for your help mate

i used kapla test e and it was first time and first 2 was pain but this i put down to virgin muscle but plain sailing after

and what it says on vile is what it is
so ie 250mg test = 1ml on seringe
im asuming you have 10ml vile

Yes mate, 10ml vial, which as far as I can tell is 250 mg of test per 1ml of oil. I think I might be confusing everyone by writing mg instead of ml and vice versa. The problem might be that I've always thought of mg and ml as being the same thing with liquids.

I'm going to have to look at the markings on the syringe and work out exactly what I've done and get back to you all. I thought I'd done it right, so hopefully i have, though obviously I'm not so sure now.

I'm not around for a few hours, so it won't be until tonight. In the meantime I appreciate all your efforts to try and save my life lol

Each ml contains 250mg, so 1ml = 250mg, 2ml = 500mg and so on

Hang in there stillgoingstron you'll get it figured out...the important thing is your asking questions and posting about ur mess ups so others can learn from you and help you out!
;-)

If you are still alive after shooting 100ml, you are a bad ass!! :)

thats what i was thinking lol! i think i'd lose my lunch seeing the size of that pin! all in all glad you got it figured out. all the guys here just want to see you succeed and do it safely

And I appreciate every single reply, guys and my friendly gal.

I haven't got bollocks like poppy seeds, skin like a pepperoni pizza, a prostrate the size of a water melon and nor have I had a permanent hard on since Wednesday, so I don't think I pinned 100ml!:D

Me left thigh's aching a bit more today tho! But if that's as bad as it gets I'll be happy.

When my hubbie aches from pinning I put a heat patch on him and the heat takes the soreness out an it's all better not sore or painful.
When I say heat patch I mean the icey hot sticky patches that come in a box of 4 or 8 I think I just cut them in a smaller size and stick it on his leg it wherever and we go on about our day.

I'm glad your not all shriveled up lol and glad the guys are helping ya get the dose straight!

You're priceless! Got a feeling my missus would put the heat patch over my nose and mouth if she ever found out what caused the soreness. She'll find out one day I expect, so watch this space for when I ask for advice on how to breathe out of my backside! :(

Seriously tho, if andyebs is right about it only hurting a few times then I'll be fine. tbh you can't even call it pain.

Lol stillgoin I\'ll keep an eye out...my hubbie and I talked about it in length before he started and I did loads or research and felt good with it and then it took a few years for me to get the balls to try my first cycle.

I use the patches more for the soreness than anything he doesn\'t complain about pain much.
