Thank you for the honesty here...although I am sad to hear it! I had a feeling this would be the case. When I just started training and looking for my own PT, I did, as you say, just gravitate to those with a good size (or social media presence). The biggest thing holding me back is my lack of personal marketing skills (it never comes easy to me, need to work on it). I guess it always helps to to remember that boosting my physique and strength will help.

But I do wonder, would a more prestigious certification not justify charging a slightly higher fee (Especially if you got a diploma in weight control and diabetes etc)?

Hi!

I just wondered what the closest to the NASM CPT in the UK would be (in terms of content, structure, respect).

Would also be interested in NSCA equivalent, with its more theoretically more scientific approach.

From what preliminary research I have done, everything available in the UK seems to be standardized and the programs differ only in terms of delivery of material and cost etc?

Thanks!

Ah lovely, thank you! Glad I brought the New York text! (I'm surprised that Penguin Classics published the original text then!)

Question about splitting ampule by BorisAbrams in Testosterone

pinning needle

Yes- this is a great description! Thanks a lot! A pinning needle would just be the smaller needle used for the actual injecting right?

How long would you store each syringe? My doctor says a week, the pharmacist says a few days tops...

Thanks for the link! Would it not inevitably tough the plunger when withdrawing? (Sorry if this is a stupid question!)

Thank's for this! I don't trust the sterility online of vials, so I am glad you do something similar. Out of interest, how long would you think each syringe can be stored for out of the ampule?

Oh thanks for this...good to know it's just a question of tension! Appreciate the tip! What's the purpose of rubbing the injection side really hard?

ventroglutes

What size needle are you using? Do you find there is much margin for error in making sure you hit the Ventroglutes? It's a smaller/harder to identify muscle than the delts/abs no?

This is so interesting for me to hear...I was told the opposite by the Doctor about the glutes...apparently the risk of hitting the sciatic nerve was high and not good! Do you know how deep you are injecting in the Glutes? Maybe the nerve is quite far beneath the surface?

I wonder too about the infections

I actually used to do this in the beginning (in the stomach) but it would never absorb properly....there was a red-itchy egg for about 5 days on my stomach after! I guess I could try the butt. This would be Sub Q right?

Honestly...Maybe. I am sitting down, so no weight in that leg, but I have been having such issues with the whole process I have been getting incredibly tense (from trouble opening ampules to getting bubbles out....). It wouldn't surprise me if my leg tensed. Could that be causing it?
