Not a Needle Virgin Anymore !!!

[houseofpain]

Well, I just did my first injection of Test Ethan 250 ml into my right quad. And the hardest part of the entire process didn't turn out to be the injection itself... It was trying to draw the test into the syringe. I was drawing with the same 25 gauge I used to inject, which took forever. I've got some 23's that I'm either going to use to inject or at least use to draw on my next time around to see if that makes it a little easier.

So for all those others that are still stuck on oral AS because of their fear of needles, I just want to let you all know I had a HUGE phobia of needles. (I'm the kinda person that used to black out after shots). And believe it or not, I didn't feel even the pinch I was expecting when I injected my quad. It's also strange but "good" that you don't actually feel the needle once it gets past the skin.

I used the dart method for the first half of the 1" needle and then pushed the rest in slowly. Piece O Cake !

Well congradulations man, I remember how nervous I was on my first shot. Concerning your drawing problems, try filling the needle with air, then injectiong the air into the vial. When you do this it creates pressure inside the vial and eventually makes it much easier to draw from because it practically pushes the gear into the syringe. Well karma for taking the big step, and welcome to the true darkside! Muhahahahah

hey bro

nice to hear you broke the fear of needles barrier, congrats!! its great to know that it didnt hurt much either cos i'm thinking of shooting in my next cycle (Sus cycle) so am planning it right now!!!
I'm also shooting in my quads (preferred site) and using 25 gauge needle at 1inch.

Question: do you push the 1inch needle all the way into the quad or do you leave abit of needle sticking out???? not sure cos dont know how deep the needle should go before I bottom out, ie, hit my thigh bone. Can you help??

cheers

 

[houseofpain]

I injected all but about an 1/8 of an inch into my quad. (I left out just enough so that I could still see the base of the needle).

As far as hitting bone, I don't think that's even possible with a 1" needle in your quads. Even if you've got skinny legs, the quad muscles around your thigh bone are still going to be at least twice that thick.

Just make sure you inject into the thickest part of your outer quad (see pictures at www.spotinjections.com), and you'll be fine.

Mini Viper - how big are your thighs. You should be able to push the whole needle in w/out hitting the bone...if you can't, then you need to do something about those chicken legs bro. I usually leave a little less than a quarter inch of the needle showing just in case something goes terribly wrong and the pin breaks off in my thigh...that way I can get it out.

Khemix... Regarding drawing gear. I was actually drawing this from an ampule not a vial. So there wasn't any way to use the positive air pressure method you described.

Test Ethan is a little on the thick side and it just took forever to get the needle to draw it all up using a 25 gauge.

Does anyone know if the viscosity of Test Ethan diminishes if you warm it up? (e.g. will warming it up under hot water make it draw easier)?

 

[Mini Viper]

thanks bros for the needle depth advice, i needed it.

NapoleanComplex - as for my thighs they measure 24 inches and I'm only 5ft 4' so they r resonable for my height. Yeah, I'm short I know!, lol

my $.02 is that if your quads arent thick enough to inject in than you haven't done the groundwork required prior to using AAS. Not a flame.

i agree totally about the thickness of the quads.....

Congrats bro. By the way go get some pins anywhere from 18-21g to draw up the fluid. Even the 23g wil take forever.

Absolutely. I ALWAYS heat my gear up as it thins the gear and actually makes it easier to inject as well. Sometimes it seems like its actually less painful and soar.

true dat...heating the sust up made a world of difference as far as post injection pain is concerned...it thins the oil, and makes it easier for the muscle to absorb. Try it both ways if you want to see for yourself.

 

[allnaturalier]

injecting after a hot shower is always a good one, hot water makes your skin very easy to penetrate and without pain.
i always shoot myself right before bedtime and after a hot shower

 

[houseofpain]

How and how much do you heat the gear? Are we talking just running it under hot tap water for a minute?

Also, it's the day after now, and the injection site isn't what I would describe as painful. But if I press or squeeze on that quad it still feels like I have a mild charley horse. Is this something that will diminish the more I inject, or does it typically happen to everyone everytime they inject. (After the responses above, I'm guessing that it might also be related to shooting the Test cold while it was still pretty thick).

 

[NapoleanComplex]

the pain will prolly get worse tomorrow.

by heating, I just set the amp in a glass of warm tap water for a minute or two

Yes, the charley horse feeling will usually be there afterwards. Hell you just gave yourself a shot, remember? Heres what I do to heat my gear. I run tap water on as hot as it will go. I fill a coffee mug wth it and set the vial in the water, enough to cover the entire vial/up to the rubber. I leave it there for about 5 minutes or so, then take out the vial and wipe the rubber top with an alchohol wipe, then i inject immediatly before it has time to cool much. Hope I helped and good luck!

hey bro, i just came off my 1st cycle to. the trick to injecting u gotta push the needle in really slow and once it bores the flesh to problem. i dont pull up wen i inject i hit a few veins and nerves a few times. once the needle is long enough it wont be a problem because it will just go through the vein and into the muscle.when it bleed alot u know u got a vein hehe.
