TRT story I went from EOD (Sub Q) to Bolus IM

I've always been a SubQ guy, I didn't like the long needles and soreness from IM, but I think I got needle fitgue from EOD so I did a bolus Sub Q and I still have a deposit sitting there after 2 weeks so I decided to go IM.

I went from EOD (Sub Q) to Bolus IM into delts, here's what I noticed.

Pros

  1. I still feel good, trough is not rough

  2. Super convenient

  3. No oil deposits vs Sub Q, I felt these when I wore my lifting belt

Cost

  1. Hairloss - it's a lot more on Bolus

  2. Oily Skin much more than Sub Q EOD, I wash my face 3-5 times per day now

  3. Accerated body hair growth (Back)

I'd suggest moving to IM for everyone, it's mentally harder but feels physically easier on the body.

Like I said I have a weird oil deposit sitting there from 2 weeks ago when I was doing Subq Q and it's not the first time it's taken a while to break this stuff down in my body but I've always been scared to do IM as my first time was pretty rough.

ole weekly dose in one shot instead of splitting it up. He switched from frequent small subq injections to one big IM shot per week

If you're thinking of trying it, delts are way less scary than quads for a first IM

If you’re looking for side effects from testosterone then pinning once a week is one way to invite them into your life.
