first IM inj. screwed it up

[trancedelt]

man my hand was moving all over the place, the pin was going in all different directions. it was in the glute standing, and to make it worse i was using 25g, and i had to put alot of force to get it through.
i thought it wasn't going through at first, so i pulled out and saw 1/2cc had gone in already, so i changed pins and did the rest, it took a few minutes. it starting to get a little sore now. think for the next one i should try quad? or get a wider pin?

yeah, use a 23g pin and don't worry so much. The first injection my friend did, he cut his thumb trying to open an Amp.

bro just relax ....youll get used to it

[CrazyC]

yeah, it's gets easier everytime......

A 25g. is fine but you might want to get a 23g. I just started using 25g. and I like them more. They go in easier and wil leave less scar tissue but they do take longer to inject. You might just want to get a 23g. so you can inject a little faster while you are still shakey. After a couple more you will be used to it.

I haven't done glutes ever. I've done only quads. You can sit down, relax and take your time. Very easy to aspirate also.

Unfortunately, I'm going to be doing Fina for the first time this upcoming cycle and will be doing EOD injections....I'm gonna have to hit glutes....and maybe delts.

Skarn, I hate injection quads I would rather go delts more power to ya bro. as for the other I use 22 ga pins for everything and just use different lengths for different spots. never tried 25ga I have some but they are 5/8" might try them for delts.

i like inj. in the quads and bi's......

[trancedelt]

i drew with an 18g.. i chose glutes cause i got the impression that they are the most "fool-proof". i want to try quads it seems like it would be really easy/more comfortable. any other fool-proof areas?

[CrazyC]

yeah, quads are a lot easier.....biceps arent too bad either just don't put inject a lot of cc's the first time you inject into them.

[trancedelt]

cool.. thanks for the nfo

[goliath.jr]

heat the oil a little to make it go through the 25ga a little better.

[prolangtum]

i hate glute injections. I have the most control on quads, and bis.
