Workout apps

For my workouts I typically use Jefit as my go to workout app and logs tracker. My secondary app I use Madbarz

What fitness apps do you prefer for your routines and schedule? ?

First self injection

Well.. been on injections for the first 4 weeks. Been getting pinned by my doc each time. Finally advocated to do it myself and work past the fear of that jab. Pain, sites and could I actually do it.

After much research. Talking with my doc. Reading and listening to everyone here in this group for needles advice, how tos and so on. I went with 16g needle for the draw and 25g 5/8” for the jab. My first self administered pin was IM into my thigh. No pain whatsoever. Maybe about 30sec in total for pushing the oil in with a 1cc syringe. Not sure if I could’ve gone faster or slower. But the pace was consistent and no soreness on the muscle afterwards. A quick massage to the muscle to move oil around and a tiny bandage just for giggles and moving on with that day.

TRT journey is well on its way now.
Thanks everyone for the advices and recommendations on what to consider when considering.

My all in one home gym

I built by gym on a a small budget. Amazon mainly. It’s not the best products out there. But it keeps me busy and dedicated. I built this about a year ago after seeing a doctor and learning about my now diabetic self. With my home gym I work out 4-5 days a week. With my home gym I went from a 12.0 A1C to a 7.7 A1C without insulin injections. My docs proud of me. I’m proud of me. May not be as good as some of these bad ass gyms I see you guys share. But it does all my workouts, getting me gains and I’m not tripping over tripods at the gym. Lol.

Workout with whatever helps you get to your goals and shop within your means. Atleast until i can afford bigger badass equipment

Content and social media.

Are you getting tired of going to your gym and seeing tripods everywhere? Someone say that ain’t right.
Are you getting irritated hearing your blocking my cam? Let me hear ya say that ain’t right.
Are you getting fed up with being on everyone’s background when you’re trying to just do you? It just isn’t right.

I say if you want to make gym content make a gym in your garage or extra room in your home and set up all the cameras you want. Or rent the gym out for the day.

For all you guys whom are getting your needles through Amazon. For the 18g to 27g range can you tell me which needles, brand names you are getting? Or better yet if you can share the links?

All I see is needles for lab use or ink refilling. Not injections. Not looking for the 29+ gauges. I need to order needles soon and not sure which to buy from Amazon.

What brand pins and pulls are you all using for your IM injections?

I seen some on Amazon that say not for human use. But reviews show people using them for HRT, TRT etc.

I heard by rumor that CVS pharmacy brand needles can be dull.
