Thigh Inj. Pointers & your first time

[jeepfreak2002]

Never did this before. I have read up, but slighly uneasy.

Worried about hitting a nerve or something. I can't reach around and inject the Glute... well, at least the thigh would be easier. I would like feedback about your 1st time. As far as I can tell you shoot for the middle of the thigh and inject from the outside of the leg.

Thanks Again

This question was taylor made for me. First off, have you looked at www.spotinjections.com? If not, do so as it is a big help.

You want to be about 3/4ths of the way up the leg and slightly out from that in the real meaty area up and over.

Take a hot shower before you stick, and I have found that heating my gear in a heating pad in the syringe while I am in the shower REALLY helps with post stick soreness. I was jabbing it in there, but found I can go very slow and get no pain with the shot, and have not hit a nerve yet. I figure slow is usually better FOR ME.

I had some people tell me to stay away from the quad, and this was about the only time I didn't go with a respected members advice. I wanted to see what I was doing and learn to do it right from the start before I started doing things "half assed". (LOL get it?)
Make sure your leg and dart are clean and aspirate.

Other than that, spotinjections.com has the entire procedure laid out very well and I found it was a good starting point, and then added the info above. Everyone is different, but this is what really works for me. Good luck man and feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

You hit the muscle that most call the "sweep". aka Vastus Lateralus. Find your Vastus Lateralus, put your thumb on your hipbone, and stretch your middle finger down your thigh. Inject about an inch below the end of the distance that your middle finger goes.

Don't worry about it, bro. I hit the thigh all the time...no worries.

Quads are good for the first few times b/c you can use both hands. Don't sweat it bro, once you do it the first time you'll wonder what all the fuss is about. Now go jab away.
