I'm just wondering if that's low because I just switched to injections dose concentration is 20mg/ML
I recently switched from subq to IM. Ill admit I haven't been on that long... Almost 6 weeks but IM sounded more effective from what I've read. (we talk about that another time). I looked forward to my subq injections. I kinda liked the actual injection process. It was almost painless. I just liked using the syringe and drawing the T and the injection. So I figured if IM was even 1% "more effective" then I'd do that. Went from 27g 1/2 needle yo 25g 1inch needle. I wasn't very nervous about the first IM shot. But a little more than my first sub q shot, Just looking at the needle. So I gave my self a shot in the delt, aspirated and all that. And the needle and injection it self was substantially more painful not a deal breaker but still. But for the next 4 days my shoulder was so sore I could even lay on the side. I figured I'd try the vent glute cuz I heard it was the least painful. But it wasn't really. Sting pretty good and my side of my ass is sore as hell. Is this what you guys deal with everytime? Probably switching back to subq...
If this isn't okay to post here lmk.
So I just started t today. I asked for subq but they gave me intermuscular, idk why. Anyway that's fine for now except that I'm having a hard time actually injecting it. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Like I have a really hard time actually pushing it out of the syringe and idk why.
Everytime I pick up my testosterone it always says intermuscular use only even though it has always been perscribed to me as subqutanious. They give me all the supplies for subq as well. Is there a difference at all?
Title says it all, but lets go into where I'm at. Acquired some Ket, and I only has a 5/8" syringe. This syringe may have been left by a previous room mate who used them medically received the wrong size and never used it. I usually partake nasally, but have done IM in the past. I'm 6' tall 160 pounds, but is somewhat tone (not a lot of fat, can feel muscle through skin on thigh area). Will a 5/8" syringe be capable of administering a dose of Ket. And if not wouldn't I just be able to push a little more to reach a more desirable depth? ( I know this sounds like a hazard for breaking the needle )
Thoughts?
Fuck r/opiates, this one makes me feel like a stupid little worthless whore. And not in some sexual fantasy but like a real first time sloppy user. Spinning a loaded handgun type shit. Anyways let's say I cooked up a normal size shot, some new gear and I hit most of it but I can tell I missed some. Not all, and TBH, I dont even think I missed half. But this stuff is fetty like all fetty. When I missed it didnt even hurt. It hasn't even really bumped up or shown that much. I'm just a little anxious because even though the rest of the shot didn't put me out is there anyway that what's left could creep up and, you know ☠💀👻? I know that no one on here can be like oh yeah here's exactly what's going to happen but is there a logical explanation cleaning one way or another? I was Kinda thinking that because the majority of the shot was already absorbed that what was left wouldn't put me out. Is that a reasonable thought or an I way off?
EDIT: DAMN I MISS HEROIN. JUST REGULAR, REAL, RIGHT OFF THE BRICK HEROIN. EVEN SOME BTH. OR DAMN EVEN SOME GEAR WITH 50%. SOME GEAR WITH EVEN THE SLIGHTEST RUSH. DOPE THAT YOU COULD DO WITHOUT THINKING EVERYTIME OH DAMN THAT MIGHT BE THE END OF ME. IM SICK OF IT
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for tips on how to make my skirt steak 'tender'. I use quotations because obviously it's not going to be as tender as a filet, but tender enough where I could actually bit a slice in half with out pulling it out of a sandwich.
I've been following subreddits on cooking skirt steak, and I tend to follow the same steps:
-Let the steak warm up
-Hot pan, about 3 mins per side (my steaks tend to plump up and get a bit thicker than expected), usually get a medium/medium rare steak
-Let rest, slice against the grain, on bias if i can(knives aren't razor sharp).
Even when I do this, some of the intermuscular fascia render the slices extremely chewy, even though the physical fibres have been sliced against the grain. Additionally, the fibers themselves just have a tough texture.
I'm not sure at this point if its just the animal that was slaughtered being tough overall or what, because even if i trim excess connective tissue outside the cut before searing, the meat still feels tough and the intermuscular fascia doesn't make for a relatively tender cut.
Tips and tricks, anyone?
The article mentions the paradoxical effect of higher intramuscular fat because it goes up in both T2D and athletes. We know this is part of the glucose sparing effect. But there is also intermuscular fat and this is where a difference can be noted between active insulin sensitive individuals and inactive insulin resistant individuals.
"Intermuscular Fat: A Review of the Consequences and Causes"

Abstract
Muscle’s structural composition is an important factor underlying muscle strength and physical function in older adults. There is an increasing amount of research to support the clear disassociation between the loss of muscle lean tissue mass and strength with aging. This disassociation implies that factors in addition to lean muscle mass are responsible for the decreases in strength and function seen with aging. Intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is a significant predictor of both muscle function and mobility function in older adults and across a wide variety of comorbid conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, diabetes, and COPD. IMAT is also implicated in metabolic dysfunction such as insulin resistance. The purpose of this narrative review is to provide a review of the implications of increased IMAT levels in metabolic, muscle, and mobility function. Potential treatment options to mitigate increasing levels of IMAT will also be discussed.
I don't know what to flair this, as it is part vent, part need for support, and part seeking for advice.
I do my shots on my own, but I have serious trouble in getting all of my T in the syringe. A significant part of it goes on my hand and on the table. Today has been remarkably bad as I only injected .6 or .7 instead of 1 ml. This is really annoying, esp as my dysphoria is at an all time high lately and even seeing a cis man makes me almost nauseous with envy (which is problematic, I know, but I'm also having trouble in keeping my feelings in check on this subject).
Do you think this is going to mess up with my transition? Do you have any suggestions on getting past this hurdle? I was shown a few times how to do this by a nurse, and I even injected on my own in front of him, but I just feel frustrated at myself for being so clumsy.

So, I've been on T for about 14 — 15 months. I've always been prescribed IM injections. However, my pharmacy will occasionally give me needles that are too short for IM and are for sub-q.
I don't always check the needles before it's shot time. So sometimes I end up with needles that are too short. I know T can be administered sub-q so I end up just going ahead so not to get my schedule messed up.
My question is this: is there any major cons to doing one shot this way until I get the right needles? I sometimes feel off after a sub-q vs IM shot, but I'm not sure if that's just psychosomatic or what.
Thoughts?
Should I be alternating my injections (I take 0.4ml every friday)? I got use to doing it on only my left thigh, finally got anxiety free. I'm just worried that if it really hurts going in on my right quad that I'll just get major anxiety again. What are the consequences of not alternating? (I use to alternate but then started getting extremely nervous and anxious so only using my left thigh is recent).

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”
“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.
How does it feel for you? For how long did you take it? (Did you take them on your butt?)

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
But let me give it a shot.

It really does, I swear!
