Needles and syringes

You don't have any yet? If not try these: Aicare 27g 1ml/cc 1/2" (12.7mm) syringes, 100-pack — available on Amazon.

No — 25 x 1 is the call. Get BD brand if you can.

Those syringes are fine. Only reason to bother with a slightly wider needle is to save half a second when drawing — if that's a big deal, I'd be more concerned about whatever else in life makes that the priority.

Since: 1 week 1 day Born: 03/29/2000 Weight: 140 Height: 5'9 Body Fat: 15% First off, eat and hit the gym — those stats are basically my wife's, lol. You need to train and eat properly for a couple years and build what you can naturally before using gear. You're young — don't wreck your natural testosterone. You can PCT, but you'll never get back to the exact natural levels and you may end up on TRT long-term. Build naturally while you can, get blood work, do it right. Good luck.

Agree. My legs weigh about the same as you do, and I'm average compared to some guys here. Eat a ton — track and weigh your food, don't just shove junk down your throat. Follow a lifting plan where you try to beat last week's numbers. At your light weight you can realistically add 30–40 lbs of good mass in six months if you do it right.

BD?

That's my daily setup too, except for delts I switch to a 5/8" 29g.

Definitely get separate drawing needles. Trying to pull thicker oil through a 25g is slow and can blunt the tip before you even inject. Typical setup I use: Drawing needles: 18g or 21g — they pull the oil in seconds. Pinning: 25g 1" is good for glutes or delts if you're fairly lean. Syringes: 1ml or 3ml luer-lock. Swap the needle after drawing, wipe the vial stopper and your skin with alcohol, and you're set. Don't accidentally buy fixed-needle syringes — make sure they're luer-lock so you can change needles.

18g will wreck vial stoppers. Use 22g instead. A 1" needle is way too long for delts unless you're massive — which I doubt given you don't even know what to buy. Use 5/8" for delts and 25g.

I get why Amazon's convenient, but honestly I'd avoid sourcing this stuff there. Look into medical supply companies and buy direct. What works for me: 3ml luer-lock syringes and a 22g to draw. For glutes use 25g 1", and for other sites use 27g 5/8".

Sounds like you're thinking it through. Don't rush it — make sure you know what you're doing before you start. Ask questions now instead of regretting later. Good luck.

Totally agree with that.

I've run testosterone-only for seven years. I use 23–25g 1" needles to both draw and inject. I've tried a bunch of injection sites and ended up sticking to the upper glute. Other muscles work too and if they get sore it's usually only a couple days. Study injection photos so you hit the right spot. Hitting a vein now and then happens — don't freak out. You'll be fine.
