  • Injection FAQ

    This is a guide to help any newbies out there that is in
    need of injection info. First off you will need to
    know what size needle to use. The smaller the gauge
    the larger the needle will be. For example a 20 gauge
    pin would be larger than a 25 gauge.

    cc (cubic centimeter) or ml (milliliter) are units of
    liquid volume and are equal to each other.

    1cc equals 1ml

    Try to limit your glute injections to 3cc, your thighs 2 to
    3cc's and 1 to 1.5cc's for all other spot injections.
    Normally a 1cc or 3cc syringe is used for measuring
    the amount put in a dart.


    22 or 23 Gauge, 1.5 Inch is great for injections into
    the glutes.

    25 Gauge, 1.0 inch is great for injections into the
    quads and can be used for all spot injections.

    25 Gauge, 5/8 inch is often used for
    tricep/bicep/delts


    This is pretty common above on what to use for your
    injections. The injection may hurt like a pinch but
    you will get use to it over time. You do not want to
    inject in the same spot all the time so rotate to
    different sites. Helps keep scare tissue down and
    keeps the receptors fresh. Also helps if your muscle
    is relaxed before the injection.

    Always make sure your doing everything clean, clean,
    clean!! This is very important fact that no one
    should over look. This is how to draw from a vail.

    Wipe the top of the vial with an alcohol swab before
    the needle enters. Let the alcohol evaporate
    afterwards.

    Pull back on the syringe approximately as much air as
    you will be injecting. For example if you are
    injecting 1cc, make sure to pull back 1cc of air into
    the pin before you enter the vial.

    Inject the air into the vial. This makes the drawing
    much easier.

    Pull back on the plunger until you get your desired
    amount out of the vial and into the pin. Its better to
    hold the vail upside down while you are doing this so
    the syringe can be flicked to get the air bubbles out.


    Now that you have the amount your are looking for into
    the syringe, I would suggest to switch the needles.
    It will dull the needle when it enters the top of the
    vail so switching is a good idea. This isn't a must
    but belive me makes things less painful. A sharp
    needle is always a good needle.

    Now the moment we have all been waiting for. We
    will go over the basics of injecting.

    You dont want any infection going on so do not let the
    needle touch anything. Make sure all the air bubbles
    are out of the syringe. Keep flicking the syringe
    until the air boubbles raise to the top so you can
    push them out of the needle. Try your best to make
    sure you have all of them out if you can. If some of
    the juice comes out of the pin. Do not worry it will
    be just fine.

    Clean the site that you wish to inject in with alcohol
    and your good to go.

    Quickly pierce the skin and steadily push the needle
    into the muscle. Stay steady as you can. You dont
    want the needle moving all around. It is always safe
    to leave a little bit of the needle showing just in
    cause something wrong may happen. For example if the
    needle for some reason broke off you want to be able
    retrieve it.

    Once into the injection site you are ready to
    aspirate. This is very important and needs to be done
    every single time that you inject. You want to slowly
    pull back on the plunger until your see small air
    bubbles. This is a good sign when you see the air
    bubbles and means your ready to inject. If you see
    blood when you aspirate please pull the pin out,
    switch your needles and try again.

    Hope this helps and enjoy.

                              Re: Injection FAQ

                              The CDC advises against aspirating for IM injections. This is a relatively new change, though, so most people have not heard of it (outside of the medical community).
