Noob needs help, quick question...

[Derezzed]

So i am about to start my first cycle, its an all test cycle
i already have my Test prop, its 200mg/cc
I am going to use insulin syringes to pin... i already have them too. Like i said i already have these so this is what im going to use.
im just unclear on my dosage...

the insulin syringe is a 1/2cc syringe with 50 units of measurement on it. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and so on.
now if i filled it to the "10" on it and took that 3 times a week, how many mg per week is that?

Im thinking thats only 20mg each injection, so only 60mg a week correct?
Is that too little?
i was wanting to do 200mg/week. What do you guys think?

60 a week is pointless so is 200. Run 500 a week bro. That's 2 1/2 ccs is the prop is 200mg per ml. Make sure u have an ai on hand and your pct before u start. Read the sticky called first cycle at the top of the page. U need to do more research bro otherwise your going to fuck yourself up. And u should of posted stats. Age height weight goals

Most prop is 100mg/ml. Are u sure urs is 200 and its prop? Also the pins u have are too short. U need to be in the muscle and unless your very lean 1/2 is not going to cut it. Use 23-25 1 1/2

I am 25 and i am 5'9 168lbs eventually i want to be about 200lbs.
i will be using an AI, aromasin i believe. also will have pct.
And yes i made sure it was 200mg/cc, i did read that it usually is 100mg/cc so i double checked.

So to get 500mg a week, i would need to fill my syringe to the full 50 units (1/2cc) five times per week?
In other words is a full 50 unit 1/2cc syringe equal to 100mg of prop? if my prop is 200mg/cc

No 2 syringes full 5 times a week. Why insulin needles? Are you drawing out with insulin needles? If so that's just stupid as it trashes the tip when you do. Use regular pins and switch from a 22 to draw out to a 25 to inject. Trust me save yourself the infection and expensive recovery time.

You are fine to shoot with 1/2 inch insulin pins and I'm definitely not super lean. You just have to push it in deep enough. Once done you should have what looks like a bullseye were you shoot. I shoot delts, tris, and quads with slin pins and have had no problems(other then a small bend in one pin from pushing to hard once) in years. Just be careful to go straight in and not to bend or angle the pin. Just don't try this with with more then one cc at a time. I reserve the 2-4cc shots for my fat ass with a 23x1.5 pin. Good luck and be careful.

^^I agree slin pins are ok, I use them all the time, just don't apply to much pressure. In my opinion, you may want to do a little bit more homework in what you are doing what you have in regards of ai and pct, you seem a little unsure. You don't want to be ON and trying to learn as you go. 1/2cc pin = 100 mg if your prop is 200mg

Consider doing ventrogluteal injections, easy for noobs. I've only been through one cycle and it was an ideal site. Here's a good illustration: http://tnation.tmuscle.com/forum_images/4/0/405114.1075756688164.ventrogluteal1.jpg

The fat covering that site is minimal so a well-plunged 0.5" pin might be fine for reaching muscle.

If you are using insulin pins just sit on your couch like you are watching TV. Sitting straight up pin the top of your quad about half way down. There should be no fat there and a 1/2 pin should be more than enough to reach muscle. Also, injecting here is very easy to monitor and basically painless. However, if you are only 159 pounds I would consider a couple more years of natural training or dabbing into prohormones before you decide to take this leap. You will need AT LEAST 500mg of test a week and I would go with an aromatising oral like dbol or anadrol too for the first four or five weeks. If this is your first cycle you should be able to gain a good 10 pounds of lean muscle if you eat clean and heavy.
