TIP OF THE WEEK!

Ok I hear a lot of people complaining about the pain they get form test prop shots.  The pain is caused by the Alcohol that is used in prop.  One way that works very well for me to get rid of the "prop pain" is to simply fill a srying with say 1-2 cc's of the prop depending on your daily dose.   Then pull the plunger back so there is a bit of air (if you have 1cc as many do then pull the plunger back to the 3cc maker) then place the sryinge on a flat surface and let it sit for about 10 mins (MIN).  I just put it on the counter while I shower with the cap on the pin OF COURSE!  Then tip the sryinge so the pin is faceing up and expell the air.  While the sryinge is stilling on its side the alcohol off gases from the prop and is held in the air in the needle.  When you push the air out you push out a LOT of the alcohol, makeing the shot MUCH less painful.

Works for me, give it a try and let me konw what you think...

That is the same thing I do with sust and it seems to be working very very well.I also heat mine up first in a glass of hot water...which helps with the evaporation.

To tell the truth, I never understood what people where talking about whit prop pain.  I always left it on the counter while I showered and never had any pain.  Until one day I was in a hurry and shot the shit and damn...lol  welt, sore and not fun.  I just asked my doctor the other day what he thought it was about leaveing it like that and we came up with this theroy which works rather well for me.  So as far as I know, its an orignial BG_21 trick...lol

Hmmm...might have to try that. But its not the actual inject of prop that hurts..it is the days following it. I would think that even though some alcohol vapors escape with that little trick that the alcohol content would be relativley unaffected. I mean I work with paints and thinners all day long. I can leave one open overnight and let a shit load of vapors escape..but the actual liquid product is not much less. Who knows..never hurts to try some thing new.

unless you're married .. :0

hmmmm.... I warm mine up in the syringe with some room for air, then push the air out...  I usually don't have the pain, but sometimes I do anyway... IMO, I don't think we can be sure if this is really the helping factor or not.
