How often do you hit a vein?

[bonannon]

I'm on my first cycle and my first glute injection was a breeze, but I hear all this talk about hitting veins and developing abscesses.
How often does this actually happen to you guys? 1 out of 10, 1 out of 50?

I haven't hit one yet, and i've done about 12 injections total on my quads.

I do wiggle around the needle though, and constantly bruise myself

i only hit a vein once in two cycles worth of shots. 2 shots per week for 10 weeks both cycles. never developed and abscess

3 cycles, 2-3 shots per week, Never hit a vein, take a look at proper injection technique and you shouldn't hit a vien.


Good Luck

Is it more likely to hit a vein in the delt or quad than in the glute? I was thinking about going for the quad on my next shot but I can't stand the site of my own blood gushing out of my body.

Your blood gushing out of your body? What kind of needle are you using?
