In the next few days I'm going to be doing my first injection ever, which is also my first cycle ever. I've done my research, read all I can find on proper injection procedure, seen pictures, and talked to people about it. I guess I'm still just a little nervous. Any bit of info or even support might help me relax a bit. By the way I plan on injecting into my thigh with a 23g 1.5" needle. Anything would be great help fellas. Thanks a lot. IP: Logged |

That needle is too long for a thigh, unless you are 8 feet tall and weigh 600lbs. Get a 1", that would work better. Most people don't have too much fat on their thighs so it's easy to get it into muscle. It gets easier and easier each time. 300 ------------------ [This message has been edited by 300 kleen (edited January 25, 2000).] IP: Logged |

why are you starting with the thigh, most guys only move there after have exhausted other injection sites, because it is one of the more difficult injection sites. Start out with the upper outer gluteus, use a 30 to 45 degree down angle push all the way in, draw back for blood, if no blood push away. Be sure to swab site with alcohol both before and after injection. ps. a good smack to the injection site prior may make things a little easier. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I'd hit the cheeks first. if you're hitting sust or test it comes with a little soreness more than others. I always sit down in a chair, for stability and hit the cheeks. ------------------ BPP IP: Logged |

ok a 1-1/2"er is a bit on the long side. but just leave about a half inches exposed and you'll be fine. the truth is it doesnt matter where you inject it. thighs are easy cause you can see what you are doin better but ass hurts less... where ever you do it, clean it, jab it draw back, if its red pull out if its clear squeeze that sumabitch till its empty, pull it out and clean with alchohol again ...you may wantr to bandaid it up and then you are set.  ------------------ 300lbs or death IP: Logged |

I have to agree with everyone else GO FOR THE CHEEKS BABY, your better off there. Later with more experience you can do tris,calfs,lats, rear delts,quads. Just relax it's like gong to the Dr. every week. If you need some motivation to get over your nervousnes look at a pic of your favorite bodybuilder. IP: Logged |

I just finished my first cycle and was nervous as hell the first shot. You just have to make up your mind to do it and follow all the guidelines you've read. It doesn't hurt, but you can feel it penetrating pretty deep. I also used 1 1/2" needle, but in the glut. Just relax and it's no big deal. It does take a little bit of time (more than I expected) to completely empty the syringe, so be patient. The second shot is a piece of cake. IP: Logged |

If you want to review the injection procedures again, then take a look at my web site: www.angelfire.com/biz5/syringes Jon IP: Logged |

Taken from ... http://www.angelfire.com/biz5/syringes/injection.html The iliac crest serves as a landmark for this quadrant Where is this iliac crest? Is that the pony part of my pelvis just below my love handle? And which way is the guy facing in Diagram A? I've been doing my shots in the "middle" of my butt... which kinda hurts. If someone could take a picture of their butt and then draw an X where you're supposed to inject, that would help me a lot. I've definitely been doing it wrong. PS - It's a small love handle dammit! 11% BF... just had it tested. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I use a 1 1/2 inch in my thigh with no problem. It is easy to see the blood enter the needle. I have seen blood only a few times, but it feels great to be sure your safe. If you are going to do Sos250, then have someone put it in your butt, it feels like you got hit with a hammer the next day. L8R IP: Logged |

JOE JUICER upper outside Quadrant of butt. think of it as the top of the glute and then move slight over to the side. remember to use down 30-45 angle and not straight injection. ------------------ IP: Logged |
