Injecting - here is my step by step plan...

[jack sparrow]

i usually dont lubricate the needle i just stick it in raw dogg style, they are razor sharp and you wont feel it go in anyway

Yeah, forget about step 9 bro...it's a waste of gear. Stab it like it owes you money.

1st injection cycle starts in 10 days. I have no fear if all goes right, and thought I would throw this out there for crticism.

Here are the steps I plan on taking - please add/modify anything that may be off:

1. take a shower
2. wash hands
3. alcohol swab the injection spot
4. heat up the amp (I plan on running under the hot tap for a couple of minutes.)
5. open the amp (I am going to score lightly with an exacto knife, and use the top of a bic pen to snap the neck off method.)
6. draw with a fresh 20g
7. switch to a fresh 23g
8. flick the air out of the syringe
9. squeeze a drop of oil out of the pin for lubrication
10. stick (don't fuck around about it - in it goes like a dart, top outside quadrant of the ass.)
11. aspirate
12. inject slowly, pin as still as possible.
13. alcohol swab
14. massage ass for a few minutes, possibly sit on heating pad for 15 minutes.
15. go lift.

What do you think?

Hey man don't let them bother you, if it helps you do it right, then go for it. We need more stuff black and white and RIGHT on this board. Stuff like this is perfect for a newbie or for someone who may know a lot but has only done orals or something. K to you for being thourogh....or however you spell that.

Thanks bro - I am glad I have it right, can't wait to get started. If the step by step helps someone else, all the better.

And as for all of the bros with the tough guy attitude of "just stick it"

why would this matter? what would you do differently with water based?

Just always had issues with water based. Oil seems to hurt less and scar less. Just always seems to go smoother.

No offense bro...it's not really a tough guy attitude, just a little razzin'. I'm sure you will do well, as you seem very thurough (sp?). Good luck to you.

I just recently injected myself for the first time too....so I'm no expert either. I just kinda liked it!

I love it when "experts" that have done maybe 1 or 2 cycles, make fun of someone elses inexperience
Checklist looks good, but you dont need the shower, just use an alcohol wipe on the site first

Not making fun... we're just poking at them It's all good, right needsize? Right? ... Please don't beat me up.

Oh, and I agree, no need to shower. It's not like the nurse gives you a spongebath before giving you the flu shot. Though I wouldn't mind...

During one of my first injects, everything seemed to go smoothly. I follow pretty much the same procedure you do.

So, I swab my glute with a cotton ball, inject, massage, etc. Immediately afterwards, I notice a section of my glute has gone pale white and it started spreading over my entire cheek. I had no idea what was going on and just about crapped myself. It took me about a minute to realize I had swabbed with peroxide instead of alcohol. Be careful which bottle you grab.

No tough-guy attitude here. We all (hopefully) put a lot of thought into our first stick. Shit I was nervous as fuck and had to think about everything I was gonna do too. Its just part of learning, and I'm sure this thread will be helpful to folks..

But steve...I think even YOU will someday look back at your list of 15 steps and laugh a little.

alright, I'll let it slide this time

Poking fun is one thing, we were all there before, and frankly, I shoot a full syringe every day, and still absolutely hate it, and get a little freaked out sometimes..... I just hate it when this stuff turns serious, in reality, compared to pros or top level NPC guys, we are all newbies and shouldnt be talking shit
