About to do first tricep injection, any advice?

[Bobber]

Where exactly should I shoot this stufff?

 

[Jeff_rys]

first try to avoid veins

that's the most important step. For the rest, some say in the middle of the tri's (when you flex you can see where), but i shoot every where in the arms.

I am about to go do chest and tri's. Is this goingto effect my work out negatively?

 

[Bobber]

Can Yall tell me exactly where to shoot it?

 

[Jeff_rys]

just above the horse shoe

when you flex the tri's you can see the horse shoe. Go there in the middle of it.

The most safe area to shoot in the tri is the long head which can most easily be located by doing a bicep pose and marking or just noting the lowest point where your tri hangs. This should be more or less the complete opposite side of your bicep peak. Then you want to straighten your arm slightly, but do not extend it fully or your tri will be fully contracted.Basically you want your forearm to be at about a 45 degree angle, so your bi is still semi contacted and your tricep is more or less relazed. Then inject in the marked site. The reason you want to avoid injecting into a contracted, straightened arm is that the inject will be more painful and can result in a backflow and leakage of the oil.

I recommend using the smallest gauge possible. Usually you can get away with a 25 gauge depending in the viscosity of the oil you're injecting. A 5\8 inch to 1 inch needle is the optimal size for the tri. hope this helped bro.

I flex my tricep place the needle on the center of the peak of the tricep on the outside portion of my upper arm. While flexed I slightly penetrate the muscle and then relax my arm and push in the needle at least one inch. Asperate or pull back on the syringe to make sure no blood comes out and inject the liquid as slow as possible. Check out 2thicks site it has puctures and all sorts of other injection related information.
