Spotinjections.com wrong info?

Anthony Starks

New member
I was just on spotinjections.com and I disagree with their placement of the glute shot. They show an injection into the gluteus maximus, while the shot should go into the gluteus medius below the lliac crest. Shooting into the gluteus maximus risks hitting the superior gluteal artery and vein or the sciatic nerve. I always hear mods and vet suggesting this site to newbies, but this is some bad info to be passing along. What gives?

I'm not platnum so I can't post pics, but just go to the site and click on "glute". He is shooting right into the middle of the gluteus maximus in all the pics.

i think that is the same site that shows a flexed bicep when doing a bicep injection...so wrong.
 
I tend to agree , while that glute pic at spotinjections.com is not "wrong"
Ventrogluteal is a much better option.

I have several pdf’s from various medical institutions that are excellent.

That's my 2nd favorite spot.

Your injection site will be a lot less sore if you follow the diagram I provided. Especially since if you are shooting right into the glute max you have to sit right on your injection site. I am just shocked that the site recommended so often on here has such poor info, I wonder how many thousands of people have followed their instructions?

I didn't like it either when I saw it a couple weeks ago. It's too dangerous for a novice to shoot in that area. That's why I tell people to sit down and shoot, because you can't get that far back.

so your saying to sit down and shoot it just like the diagram, but it looks like your injecting the hip?

OMG, Good post, i cant beleive that some people are actually jabbing the middle of their ass, ive always held this in my mind, place your thumb on your hip bone, extend you fingers/hand backwards to point to the spin, then whilst keeping your thumb on the TOP off your hip bone pivot your finger downwards about 20 - 30 degrees - that is the medius, you do not IM in the maximus..

honestly bro, i think i would have if i didnt know..i mean you think..the more cushion the less the pain..just seems like injecting in the side would be fierce! lol

No it's just below the hip.

ooh ok...know i understand the sitting while injecting post i think someone made a while ago..didnt make sence! damn i felt more comftorable with the notion of just shooting in the middle of the butt cheak! havent done my first cycle yet, but when i do...i will do it the right way!
 
it scares me more of my first shott coming up real soon not sure if iam gonna use glutes or quads i have more meat on my quas then ass so iam leaning more to glutes thanks for all the god info guys
 
are you saying that is the proper injection site? looks like your injecting your hip?
Yes you do shoot into your hip~
The best and easiest way for anyone to find the "Correct" location for that injection site is to place the tip of your index finger on the front most point of your hip bone which will be at the top of the bone, and then stretch your thumb level around you side (as if you were squeezing around a waist). Right where the tip of your thumb touches...that is the spot!

Good 'Point'
Good tips from everyone, thanks.

One thing that helped me,
I had asked by doc for a B12 shot not long before my first cycle , all you have to say is I feel run down, give me a B12 shot. Then I specifically asked the nurse to hit me in the hip. I’m sure she thought I was some perv but I paid attention and later could put my finger right on the spot.
….But for what it’s worth I have no doubt pros are laughing at this thread and can shoot various IM much better than most nurses  ;) ;) ;)

if you think real hard back to when you were young and afraid of shots you will realize that your doc used to hit you there. i remember it being that high.

Anyone ever hit the sciatic nerve? What's that feel like?

Ive known of 2 people who hit the nerve bundle, they were out off action for a LONG time, that nerve bundle is connected to your spinal column, you mess with that your basically fucked - paralysis is sadly one possibility, be safe

Im starting my second cycle next week and im bricking it now because im gonna have to use glutes for the first time on this one! Ive been quite happy doing delts so far, i think ill just try the sitting down technique and hope for the best.
 
I don't know if i can bring myself to shooting that close to the side..i definitely shoot upper half but more back...all i keep thinking about is the tip of the needle hitting bone..gives me chills. Anyone have clearer pictures? Or can someone draw a circle on themselves where the right spot is. I'm having a hard time grasping this.
 
When i first started i got told to quarter your cheek, then goto the upper outer quarter and quarter that then jab upper outer. Thats about the right area. Ive been on spot injections before, but i never realised it was that far out. Well spotted mate.

that is the same way i do it..hopefully it is good enough
 
great post.i cannot believe peaple are injecting in that location.any doc or nurse will show that you should always inject on the side just below the creat of the waist line.very well done there are a lot of lucky peaple out there right now.
 
I never knew it was so difficult before I read this thread I always did what detroitbodybuildertigers has done.

The picture in the Medical book is right. I take my injection about 2 more inches back and do not fill any pain at all. It may seem like your hitting your hip but there is a hunk of meat up there. I shot myself in the past in the location that spot injections.com says and drew blood and experienced all kinds of discomforts.
