How to: Not tear my glutes to shreds (Self glute injections)

[Jamie Sutherland]

Hey people,

Was just wondering if anyone had any good advice for self glute injections.

I'm completely new to the whole AAS world. I've just started my first ever cycle (test cyp only 500mg/wk). I've only pinned once so far which was in my right glute. I plan to alternate between each glute.

I was slightly nervous since it was my first ever time pinning myself so my hand was slightly shakey to start with. What I found particularly difficult was holding the syringe in my ass cheek with one hand & then reaching round with the other hand to aspirate. When I tried to do this my hand shook even more whilst the syringe was still inside my glute. All I can imagine is the needle wobbling around inside my ass cheek and tearing my glute muscle to shreds hahaha. At the time it wasn't really that sore. Even the next day it was fine. Today (2 days after) it feels like I have a bruise on my ass cheek but nothing major.

I guess what I'm asking for is if anyone with a bit more experience has any good advice for the best/easiest way to self inject in to glutes (let's also assume that I don't have the option of someone else sticking it in my ass either).

Thanks in advance!

Bb pinning is like driving a CAR neither of which can be taught on a forum.

I'd suggest you have someone like a NURSE teach you how to pin correctly, bc there's much worse complications than "tearing a muscle" that can and often do happen when done INCORRECTLY.

If ur pinning in ur glute laydown and turn on ur side then pin it in ur glute its so much easier then standing and doing it u don't have to reach around which causes u to shake a bit

Thanks man I'll give this a try. I had just followed a video on youtube where the guy was saying to stand up and take your weight off the side you're injecting by holding your leg off the ground slightly.

Yea I use to stand and do it to but one day a light bulb in my head went off to try and lay down and do it just to see and omg its so much easier and more comfortable never again well I stand and do it lol

If you are over 5'10 and under 220lbs and can't use both hands to inject your ass.... you need to work on your mobility man.

Since it's your first cycle I would include quads too. So you have a week off between injections.

I always get a kick out of these guys who say they can't reach back there to pin their glutes.

The solution is simple. Have the person who wipes your ass pin you, because if you can't reach for a pin, no way you can wipe.

Alternately, ventro glutes. No twisting whatsoever.

Yes. Or the meaty part of the hip there. Only place I would never pin is Calves. Well... never say never but.... fuck that lol

I started trt few weeks ago. First time pinning as well, had doc then wife do the glutes first round. I have low flexibility so I went to Delts next, super easy , steady, shorter needle, real easy to find injection spot and highly recommend to try it. Next will be Quads then ventro glutes. Figure rotate since TRT, you might have your own reasons for choosing. I was nervous and a bit intimidated by it first time but I am no fairy I did what had to be done.

Hahahaha!! Yeah no kidding. Shit I'm sure even big Ramey or however his name is can wipe his own ass. Who on this board is bigger than him?? Especially one pin into their first cycle

Reaching isn't the problem, I can definitely reach lol. It just feels awkward and makes my hands shake haha

@Jamie Sutherland I'm not personally attacking you. I have nothing against you, just poking fun at the glute injections.

But long story short is... pin other places until you get steady and pinning becomes second nature. Once you get rid of the shakes everything will be fine!! Shit I remember my first Delt injection I was so shaky. That needle was probably having a hay day tearing up all that meat lol. Sore for 2-3 days. Goes away. Always does! You'll be fine man.

First cycle. Fuck it, I've seen blood and guts and not had an issue, sometimes I get a hep b/c shot and get light headed. Don't sweat it!!

I am able to reach my ass no problem. The thing is, it feels really awkward and causes my hands to shake and therefore the needle to rip the inside of my ass cheek. Maybe this is something that will just start to feel more natural with time

Haha thanks man, I'll defintiely look in to some other spots, thinking quads!

Yeah man I love quads. I used to inject in one spot. Just recently I started looking up more spots. Tried pecs for the first time earlier this week. Less painful than delts for me. Gotta just experiment. I'm sorry man but everywhere is gonna hurt this cycle. "Virgin muscle". You'll get it though. Everyone went through the same thing you are right now, except for maybe a handful of elite badasses.

Simple.
No need to aspirate. Use one hand. Jab it, push it, pull it out.

 

[Demondosage]

Do it all one handed. Stick it in quickly , dont dick around or it can cause more soreness. Aspirate with your fingers, you want to push your index finger against the top of the barrel and pull the plunger back roughly 1/8" by grabbing it with your middle finger and thumb, or whatever finger combo works for you, you just need one finger against top of barrel so you can keep it pushed in while pulling plunger back. I shook my first time injecting too, after that it was a breeze. I realized it wasnt shit and I was overphscyching myself. Then I began looking forward to injection day. I'd listen to music and inject. The next time you inject listen to "Killing in the name of" by Rage against the machine. Then you'll be just like me from 17 years ago!!! LOL

 

[Demondosage]

OP, if thats you in your avie then i have to give credit to that level of development before touching any gear. You should be a beast off low to moderate dosages

That needle shouldn't be anywhere near the inside of your ass cheeks..fyi ripping the inside of the ass cheeks will never feel more natural with time partner, unless you're into that sort of thing.
