F*#@ glute shots!

[hardrock]

Damn it! I tried to put em back into the rotation, but hell if I don't end up sore as hell. Did one a few days ago with little soreness after. Then this mornin I do one and now I can't even lean back in my chair. I can't seem to get the right angle to keep my arm steady. Keep movin around.

How the fuck you guys do it?

take a hot shower first and warm up whatever your shooting. i do this with QV enan. no problem

 

[hardrock]

I do warm up what I'm using. I used to do glute shots all the time with no probs. Over the years it's gotten harder to the point where I can't reach my glutes well enough to do it without moving while pressing the plunger. I end up bruising the shit outta myself.

Ditto... she has been giving me my shots since we were going out.

I say f*ck glute shots, too. Not because they hurt, but because I'm always hitting veins and drawing blood. Almost every time.

i only shoot in my glutes..mind you i only take test and dbol..so i dont require more than 2 shots a week..i never have any problems other then major cramping if i twist to far around to reach..it can be a pain, but damn the quads hurt like hell.

 

[RADAR]

Yup,quads are a bytch! Hardrock a warm to hot shower along with using a hairdryer to pre-warm the gear will help. Also massageing the area afterwards with a hot washcloth. This is the best thing i have found so far.

The whole purpose of glutes is that have fewer veins than anywhere else in your body -- is it not??

I have used glutes for more injections than any other site, and I have never ever once drawn blood.

You little girls...Glute shots don't hurt.....J/K

What video clip?

I think the problem HardRock is having is that he has a hard time twisting his upper body around to get into position for a glute shot.
Have you tried hitting the glutes while sitting in a chair?

 

[swb1126]

90% of my shots are in the glutes..but my wife shoots mine also. A good trick I learned early on was to put my thumb on my hip bone, and reach around with my hand fully stretched and shoot where my pinky touches. And I never have any problem. I must say that I don't think I'd be able to shoot myself in the glute though.

My question is where do you guys shoot in your quads? And what size needle do you use.

Thats exactly it! As far as sitting goes, I thought about that lastnight while telling a buddy how hard it is. I was sitting when I was showing him and a light went off. I will def try that next time.

 

[Goldprospector]

swb1126 is correct on the placment of the shot...Might want to try laying on the bed or floor, then twist at the waist where one leg crosses the other at 90 degrees (or as far as you can get) and keeping your shoulders flat on the floor. then when you are in position, you can reach the glute better and there might not be as much shifting of the needle.

The only problem I have with glute shots is the ocassional knot from the gear.

I use a bowl of hot water to warm the oil before I fill a syringe. I also ride bike alot and I think using those muscles on the bike helps with the knot and pain I experience.
