Has anyone ever tried this approach?

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of low doses of subcutaneous testosterone in hypogonadal men since the intramuscular route, which is the most widely used form of testosterone replacement therapy, is inconvenient to many patients. METHODS: All men with primary and secondary hypogonadism attending the reproductive endocrine clinic at Royal Victoria Hospital, Monteral, Quebec, Canada, were invited to participate in the study. Subjects were enrolled from January 2002 till December 2002. Patients were asked to self-administer weekly low doses of Testosterone Enanthate using 0.5 ml insulin syringe. RESULTS: A total of 22 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean trough was 14.48 +/- 3.14 nmol/L and peak total testosterone was 21.65 +/- 7.32 nmol/L. For the free testosterone the average trough was 59.94 +/- 20.60 pmol/L and the peak was 85.17 +/- 32.88 pmol/L. All of the patients delivered testosterone with ease and no local reactions were reported. CONCLUSION: Therapy with weekly subcutaneous testosterone produced serum levels that were within the normal range in 100% of patients for both peak and trough levels. This is the first report, which demonstrated the efficacy of delivering weekly testosterone using this cheap, safe, and less painful subcutaneous route.

everyone has stayed away from this method thinking that it would slow absorbtion and possibly cause abcesses. it looks as if the injection amounts are limited to .5ml which should not be a problem with high dose enanthate.
anyone want to be a guinea pig? it would solve the painful muscle problem if it did not generate a whole new set of problems like swelling, redness, bruising, infection. very interesting. I am currently doing .5ml injections of 400mg/ml te but am doing it im.

Are you using slin needles?

I haven't tried it but within the last month or so I saw some threads on steroidology about it. I believe a few guys did try it but I don't recall what they reported about it.
i am using slin needles since they are easier to inject with since they are a fixed pin rather than a leur slip which does not take much pressure.
I may give it a try and see what happens.

So I'm guessing you're using a high bb % to hold it in solution and thin enough to go thru a slin pin? This might be the the perfect solution to try the sub q thing.

Do you feel it works better than lower dose per ml?

you know guijr, i really do not get too wrapped up about it. it seems to do the job just fine and cut my inject size way down.

OK I see, thanks. Sorry I'm always thinking on the performance enhancing thing.

Does this mean that if someone used a 1" needle into their glute and didn't quite get it into the muscle but are still in the fat that it's ok to inject?

That's a good question, not sure but it seems so since down here we use a smaller pin, but it do reach the gluteus muscle.
