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

[D-max]

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

I was making more of a general statement, not making fun of you. You'd be surprised how many guys try to say they're too big to reach their glutes to give injections.

 

[Candykiss]

I shouldn't poke fun either OP, sorry...can't help myself lol. First few pins are always sketchy.

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

Haha I know people seem to have different opinions on this, but if rather be safe than sorry

 

[Jamie Sutherland]

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

Haha thanks for the advice man! Think its probably just something that you'll start to think less of over time

 

[Jamie Sutherland]

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

Thanks mate! It is me. I'm only 22 but have been training consistently for the most part over the last 6 years. Always thought I would stay natural for life but one day I guess I just started reading in to AAS which lead to me getting more and more curious about it hahaha

Fuck dude you are genetically gifted if that sounds you. I wouldn't touch juice if I could achieve that natty.

If you want to know the right opinion, ask a nurse or someone in the medical field. Not a Dr. of bro-science. They'll laugh and tell you nurses haven't aspirated for 20 yrs. I know, because I married one and that's what she did when I asked her about it.

Haha thank you bro I appreciate it! Always thought I would stay natural myself and think I could have made even more progress naturally. Guess I just started reading in to the dark side one day which turned in to a couple months of constant researching and now I'm here hahaha

That's true mate, I have heard that too. Also heard the stories of people accidentally injecting in to a vein and feeling like they were about to die haha. Just being safe than sorry for now, especially on my first cycle

Dont worry about it. Do u think nurses think about accidentally injecting in to a vein when they stab that needle in you?
Nope. They just want it in you. Its not medically necessary to aspirate

 

[prospect84]

My hands used to shake just from not being used to the awkward position. It gets better quickly.

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!

Simple answer
get someone else to inject you

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.

Speaking of nurses
Years ago I actually printed some "oil soluble vitamins" labels
and got a retired nurse to inject me for a few dollars.

Well worth it.

Truth

Its not medically necessary to aspirate

There's a very good reason TO ASPIRATE esp for novices, injecting a couple ml of OIL into an artery or vein, is NOT worth the TWO second cardiopulmonary risk.

"Many BB don't do it" and why is that NOT surprising.

I got blood in my needle 2 days ago pinning glutes with a 1 inch 25 g needle. Thank god I aspirate.

Would it help if i said "Many medical professionals dont aspirate"?
Does that change anything?
Would it be too much to request my flu shot be aspirated by the nurse? Or that she switch out the draw pin for a fresh new one at the time of injection?
Do u think he/she will honor my requests?
Unlikely. Neither are supported by medical professionals

 

[Wunderpus]

I do it on the bathroom counter... I prop one side of my ass on the ledge, feet on the ground, and look in the mirror while I go for it. Easy.

And what's your experience with medical professionals, bc I work with them every day.

Do some nurses fail to aspirate I suspect so but such a practice is NOT the standard, and for very good reason, bc a direct intravasucular injection of some meds can cause serious side effects.

And I'm not talking about a "flu shot" pinning the deltoid with a 27guage 1/2" needle!

if you want to do it your way that's your business but suggesting such a practice is GTG, while ignoring the risk is not wise when instructing others, esp novices who are error prone from the outset.

And im not talking fucking succinylcholine!
Fucking testosterone injections jim!

Tell you what look up pulmonary fat embolism or the documented adverse effects of Neibido, you may then understand why the package insert specifically states it should be given DEEP IM and the importance of aspiration must not be overlooked!

And incidentally Anectine is deliberately given IV not IM.

A more suitable comparison might would have been something like Mophine 10mg and Phenergan 25mg IM, bc a nurse who treats all medicines like a "flu shot" and fails to aspirate and then slams that into a vein, respiration depression, esp in a novice ,
is almost guaranteed.

 

[Jamie Sutherland]

I might be new to the AAS world and not have a vast knowledge of everything yet, BUT I do know that its a FACT that injecting intravenously can cause serious side effects.

I couldn't care less if someone aspirates or doesn't aspirate. That's up to them. If you're experienced and know what sites always work well for you then fair enough. But for me, especially as a noob to all of this, I think it would be stupid to ignore facts and take chances. That's exactly why I'm always gonna aspirate.
