Maybe the second or third time.. but first time i am going to be nervous as SHIT.

haven't started yet but primo 200mg/E3D (2 ml)..

Just unpacked the packaged i got them in.. opened one.. and looked at it.. stared. hah.

Yo, you have no idea how much thicker is 21" gauge or even 22" gauge and even they dont hurt if you jab quick and properly.

With 23"gauge i stab myself in the shoulder or the quads and trust me on one thing bro, i used to be more scared of needles than you. I couldnt even take a look at them while my boys were giving me my daily dose of AAS's. Now i cant wait to start jabbing myself.

Trust me, there isnt much to it.

Thanks Lenas! Hopefully ill get over it after the first time... if i dont accidently hit a vein, a nerve at the same time... blood squising and pain.. i think that would scare me even more!

Reading about all the gushing blood, jumping/spazming legs from hitting a nerve and abcesses(sp?).. got me kind of wound up!

Cheers!

Have somebody else do you the first time. Just for you to get over your jitters. Dont worry bro, that aint nothing and when you see the results your injections wont even matter. Just think about the results bro and relax, dont be stiff when you poke yourself as you might break the needle. so RELAXXX...............and it will all be ok, trust me on that one

 

[IronWuu]

Thanks, ill try not to break the needle! :O lol! Dont think i can find anyone to do it for me, but ill try to keep a steady hand.. and not be so tense. Got a few weeks still until all my stuff gets here, so i wont start before that. Got some mind-preparing to do until that. :> Thanks again and K for ya.

23g is nothing, even 21g wasn't bad I just didn't like the hole it left, pain wise it shouldn't be that different as long as its sharp! Don't be like my buddy and use the same pin that you used for taking the stuff out of the multi-dose vial, it dulls the crap out of it. Also some guys recommend taking a shower first and warming up the muscle, but for me it hurts more when I do this, but maybe not for you. I had someone do an glute shot for me my first time. I usually just alternated from cheek to cheek every week because it was the easiest, as I got more comfortable using a pin on my own I found other spots.

Do the first one yourself bro! Its nerve racking, but its a right of passage. I still remember my first pop (only 5 years ago) like it was yesterday. I just kept tellin myself, if all these guys can do it, how bad can its be. Had the shakes like you would belive sitting in my basement in front of the computer. Jabbed the sucker in my upper outer quad (23g 1in 2ccsus 1ccdeca ) and it went in with no feeling do to my amped state. I was shaking so I had to just sit there with it in for a second and gather myself. Got it together and grab the plunger and applied pressure. I was surprised at the force it took to move the oil and due to the shakes, I was picturing breaking that damn needle off in my leg the whole time. How would I get it out then? That would be a bad trip to the ER. Got it all in and pulled the sucker out. Covered the spot and cleaned up feeling about as proud as a peacock. Felt like I had earned my damn wings or something. I signed back on to the boards feeling like a new man, a part of the brotherhood. Do the deed bro, provided you've done your homework, its a sweet step in the direction you apparently want to go. Don't rely on anyone else cuz this is a personal thing, atleast it is for me. Peace and congrats ahead of time.

It is good and all that you feel more manly or earn your wings or rite of passage, but a lot of good it will do if you break off the pin or don't aspirate and then become needle shy. I would still get someone who knows what they are doing if you have someone available, to show you what to do and not to do, if you are going to do it yourself. It's one thing to read about it on the net and see it in real life.
