Injecting Yourself

[blkturbo]

Ok, I admit I'm a puss when it comes to sticking myself....I tried once and never tried again

I always found a friend to do it for me. I'm not scared of the needle, just the act of sticking myself.

I want very badly to do this on my own......what suggestions can yall give me in order to break myself in on doing this <----- without passing out and hitting my head on the bowl! I find it very uncomfortable to reach around to my glutes with a pin in one hand, handling the aspirating steps, and then the concern of flexing and jumping around since I can see it coming etc.

Any tips from guys who taught themselves to get over this?

it's easier to hit your quad first. Go from the outside in, into the meatiest part.it's best to have a new pin, too. I throw it in, like a dart, all the way to the hub. if you ever get that done one time, it will be a lot easier.

I've never had anyone help me. My first shot was by myself. Don't think about it just do it. The pain is nuthing compared to pain you've probably experienced before. I would recommend a quad shot first. Easy, convienent, fast and safe. Don't think about it.
Just Do It!

Oh I've had plenty experience in sticking - other people who were on.....just have a hard time inflicting that on myself

As far as quads...i get the impression that spot would hurt more because of less fat, huh?
Hmm, so hitting the glute is tricky for everybody?

the pain is only going through the skin, and it's not that bad. you've hurt yourself worse in the gym every workout. quicker is better for me, and, yes, butt shots are awkward for me too, but I do em sometimes. you get used to them just like everything else

I'm new to sticking myself and so far I have done only glutes (gonna have to do quads though after reading all the posts about it lately ) - only suggestion I would have is - Listen to yourself for a minute! You can stab someone else but not yourself? It is just a needle - and a very thin one at that, you already know what it is going to feel like - just do it. Take a deep breath, think about getting bigger, and push it in. If you can make yourself get under that squat rack or lay on that bench under all that weight you sure as hell can give yourself an injection. Don't take this as an insult - What I am trying to say is it is all just your frame of mind. Tell yourself whatever you have to. Call yourself a puss if you don't do it, tell yourself you're a man and can take it, whatever you need to think to get yourself into a frame of mind where there is no choice about doing it. Something will motivate you mentally - find what it is and use it - and you will get used to it soon.

viav.....that was a very entertaining (and informal) post lol

When I get my stuff together, I'll give it a SHOT
I'm thinking I'll have to lean near a wall or doorway for support. Other than that, I'm concerned about it moving around a whole bunch while I aspirate (i may not do that though) and start the pushing of the plunger.
Yeah, I know what it will feel like, and it is the frame of mind too.

ok - you're kidding about not aspirating - right? If you think you may pass out or something then lay down. I never am formal - just telling you what I think.

i never have, nor never will inject myself.....i have to have someone do it for me.....im a glute shot kinda girl...

I guess for me one of the incentives is I have no desire to tell anyone that I take anything - only person that knows is my bro - but he lives 2500 miles away.

I did my first ever injection in my shoulder, it went easier than I ever thought it could. My bro had the same problem you do until I showed him the correct way to inject and aspirate, now he will never have anyone inject him again.

First take a warm shower and relax. Get all your paraphernalia ready, wash your hands and clean the site with rubbing alcohol, if you don't have any use vodka.

If I were you I would try a shoulder injection before the quad (I just think the quad is a bit creepier) When I inject into my shoulder I sit in my chair, find the spot, then lay my shoulder across my desk and push (not jab) the pin in.

Here is a very good link to site injections, it not only shows you where to inject but how to find the site.

Is your friend always going to be around ? Before you do anything , you must be able to trust yourself . I'm a puss when it comes to darts myself . But when it came time for my first dart there was no one around . I did the research on my own it's all right here on the net. bro . My first shot was in my right guad . Easy to get too , and you can't control the dart with both hands . I sat on a bed after a hot shower took a deep breath and hit it slowly so you can tell what's going on . After I got use to doing the quads I started hitting the delts with one hand . You'll get use to it in no time . And you feel better knowing you did it yourself . Relax and good luck !! www.spotinjections.com
