​​👨🏼‍⚕️ Harm prevention: infection/abcess

An abscess is the last step of the immune response to an infection, it is the result of the combination of germs with the body's immune responses. When the infection occurs, the white blood cells cause the blood to enter the area, increasing the temperature and the redness of the area, this added to the secretions made cause pain.

Therefore we have the symptoms of inflammation: redness, local heat, swelling and pain.

Not all infections can cause liquefaction of the tissue (a cavity is formed in the tissue to isolate the area) that is necessary for an abscess to occur, this varies depending on the type of bacteria, this membrane that isolates the area would also cause antibiotics to have no effect in the advanced phase and therefore it would be necessary to drain or operate the area.
The sooner it is diagnosed, the better, because an antibiotic would enough.


📝 How to diagnose an abscess?

First of all say that what looks like an abscess may not be an infection, when we perform an injection symptoms of inflammation may occur without an infection because factors such as the pH value 🧪, if the tissue is compatible, or where it is performed (muscle, fascia or adipose tissue) can cause local destruction of the tissue causing an immune reaction similar to that of an infection but that will go away in a few days without treatment, this is known as sterile inflammation.

To distinguish between a sterile process and an infection, the most important values are:

🌡Fever: a temperature between 37-38 degrees may be indicative of both processes, but a temperature higher than 38 will be a very likely indicative of an infection.
If the lymph nodes in the area are swollen, it would also be an indication.
🩸Blood test: an excess of white blood cells and specifically of neutrophils would be an indicator.
CRP would be a very interesting value to measure (but it also increases with sterile inflammation) for a bacterial infection to occur it would have to be above 40mg / l (at the beginning of an infection it may be below 20 the value so I recommend running two bloodworks).
Keep in mind that if we take anti-inflammatory drugs, the fever will decrease and we will get a false diagnosis.


💊How to treat it?

Sterile inflammation: It will be enough to take an anti-inflammatory and refrigerate the area.

Bacterial inflammation: I recommend that you see a doctor 👨🏼‍⚕️ because in the case of a complication the area will have to be drained and an operation may even be required, but if we do not have access to a doctor, it would be advisable to treat with an antibiotics, most antibiotics work , but given that most infections are usually caused by a bacteria of the staphylococcus aureus type, I would recommend taking cefuroxime, doxycycline or clindamycin among others if cefuroxime causes allergy😷, the doses will have to be adapted to the body meso, being in the case of a 80kg male: (2x500mg / d) cefuroxime, (2x100mg / d) doxycycline or (4x300mg / d) clindamycin.

📝 Post-injection pain. Why it may occur and how to avoid it.

Post-injection pain, or PIP, generally speaking is the pain experienced after taking an intramuscular shot of a certain substance, in our case a mixture of a hormone salt, any concentration of solvent, preservatives/antiseptics, and a carrier. Most of the pain is caused when carrier and solvents are absorbed by the body and the crystals are left behind in the muscle pocket.

In this article, we’re going to go over the main causes for PIP:

How long the ester is: shorter esters (e.g., propionate or acetate) form harder, stronger crystals, with a melting point close to 100ºC, while longer esters often have a melting point closer to a human’s body temperature of around 30 to 40ºC, the exception being cypionate, a longer ester with higher melting point.

Concentration of hormone: for explanation purposes, let’s say it takes the body 24h to absorb 1ml of carrier oil + solvent + 50mg of testosterone propionate.

Solvents used: not all solvents are made the same, for example...

💉 Post-injection pain reduction techniques

Post-Injection Pain (PIP) is one of the worst things about having to inject Anabolic Steroids. Most of the time, PIP is minimal and subsides minutes or hours after the injections, but extreme cases of PIP can hinder our ability to exercise, walk and even sit!

Is pinning AAS really worth it if we can’t even live a normal life for a day after every injection? In this post, I will tell you what injectable AAS are most likely to cause serious
PIP and what you can do to minimize it and fix it as quickly as possible!

💉 The truth about injectable Dianabol & Winstrol

Did you know that many oral AAS can be injected? The most commonly used and easy-to-find ones are Dianabol and Winstrol, but some users also make their own injectable Superdrol, Anadrol, Turinabol and Anavar preparations.

In this post we will be focusing on the most commonly used ones: injectable Dianabol and Winstrol.

💉 The painless way to inject AAS

The number 1 reason why many enhanced athletes are afraid of pinning Testosterone and other injectable anabolics is PAIN. They are afraid of the pain that comes the intramuscular injection as well as the pain that stays after the injection (PIP).

Even though the pain of an injection varies depending on the thickness of the needle, the injection site, the injection technique and the compound itself, there is one way to make the injection of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids virtually painless…

➡️ Dihydroboldenone: The forgotten AAS

Dihydroboldenone (also known as DHB or 1-Testosterone Cypionate) is an injectable AAS and the 5-alpha-reduced derivative of Boldenone (Equipoise). In other words, DHB is to Equipoise what DHT is to Testosterone, but DHB and DHT are extremely different.

DHB is not a popular AAS by any means, but its properties are nothing short of spectacular. Many people describe DHB as “Trenbolone without the side-effects”, and by the end of this article you will understand why.

☝🏻Test E vs Test C

Both esters are almost interchangeable due to their similar half-lives and ester weights. Even their prices are almost always identical, so if you are struggling to choose between the two, go for whichever one you have easier access to.

If you have equally easy access to both, then pick Test E if you want to inject it intramuscularly or pick Test C if you want to inject it subcutaneously.

💉 AAS injection-induced infections

There is nothing worse than having to abort an AAS cycle due to an infected injection site. It can not only ruin a cycle, but it can cost you a whole limb or even your life if you don’t get it under control as quickly as possible.

There have been many cases of men who had to get one of their legs AMPUTATED as a result of an injection-induced infection spreading throughout the whole limb. That is not a situation you want to find yourself in.

🦾 IGF-1 LR3 101

IGF-1 LR3, or Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Long R3, is a peptide hormone that is a derivative of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1). It is a popular compound among bodybuilders and athletes because of its ability to promote muscle growth and improve recovery after exercise.

In this article, we will explore IGF-1 LR3 in detail so you can understand how it works, what to expect from it and how to use it to maximize your gains and reach a whole new level of size.

🦠 Truth about Test Flu

“Test flu” is a term used to describe a set of symptoms that are sometimes experienced by individuals who are taking AAS, particularly Testosterone. The condition is characterized by flu-like symptoms, including fatigue, fever, muscle aches, joint pain, and headache.

The onset of test flu typically occurs within a few days of starting anabolic steroid treatment, although it can sometimes take longer to develop. The symptoms can range from mild to severe and may last for several days to a week or more.
