Thread: Norma Test E Soreness

It happens, Maybe moved the pin to much, nicked a nerve, injected to quick, so many factors determine soreness. Take some Ibuprofen, and you should be feeling much less sore by tomorrow.

Did you hit your ventro glute?

norma test E is known to be really thick. but the normas i had were painless (always did glute injects) perhaps you nicked a nerve or shook the needle around and caused trauma to the muscle.

just figured that it would have hurt injecting if i hit a nerve or sumthing. and no i injected dorsogluteal

also the test e is so thick you cant help but move the needle around a bit. i may have to upgrade to a 23g or sumthing. ne way i can make the fluid less thick? literally takes a minute straight to push it all in

How many pins in are you? Sounds exactly like a virgin ass. Same thing happened to me when I started. Hurt to sit, felt like a large bruise. First pin took forever but I was under the impression I was going to empty a 25g pin in 4 seconds. Still takes a good 10-15 seconds to push it in.

In a few you will wake up and pin like its putting on boxers.

i think you can warm it up and itll flow better.

I warmed it up and didnt notice any difference.

a little off topic
how long before test e kicks in?

6 weeks in now and I dont FEEL it. I am not sure what I am supposed to feel but I can tell you my strength has jumped. Old squats were 365 x 1 and I did an easy 365 x 4(had more in me should have went 5).

Though I am not sure what I should be feeling. Makes me think of my honda days like VTEC should just be kicking in.

may be that exactly. it was actually my first pin. Besides the bruising pain i cant wait to do my next one. but when i rotate to the other glute will i get the same bruising pain again?

It will most likely hurt again, but they will continue to get better as the weeks go by.

It will probably hurt but by your third week you are going to feel like a pro and read stories like this and comment the same way I am.

I think my third felt funny for a whole week. No signs of a bruise or anything but it sure felt like I was sitting on a charlie horse. Now I pin and go straight to the gym.

yup same bruising pain aha. hopefully the next injection will be painless

your staright bro i get pip from my shit to. i go 25g 1 and 1/2 inch. the less u move the needle the less pain. i hold my vial tight in my hand for a few min to warm it a little. i also found that i inject a little before i go to the gym the pip is much less. i was injecting b4 bed and it bruised for a week. now i do it b4 the gym and it doent hurt as bad and only for like 2 days.

Practice makes perfect guys. Pinned this morning and had a back spasm. Had no choice but to let it dangle for a good 10 seconds before finally being able to push in the last 1/4. Zero issues in pain. In three weeks you will laugh that you posted this.
