A Guide to Safe Injection Technique

[Gymkiller70]

Hi, great info here, thanx. I've been adhering to all your safety suggestions prior to reading this. I know there is a bit a pain sometimes afterwards and sometimes not it seems. I will massage afterwards now though. I am perplexed though, I properly clean everything before injection however sometimes I've been getting real sore and red in the area and it goes away a few days later. But I can't even work that part when it's red and sore. Is this because my body and it certain parts are new to Test E? Or maybe the amounts should be less? I see no consistency though. Like I tried my bicep a few days ago and it's all sore and red, I even pushed only 3/4 cc in that muscle cause I know it's smaller than delts, glutes or quad. I think I'm going to stick to quads, glutes and delts. But being sore and having red skin sounds like two different things. Any thoughts would be appreciated

when you pull back on the plunger before administration, how often have you seen blood in the barrel? Iv injected many times and when i learned to inject i never learend to draw back. I still don't and have never had problems (knock on would). and what would happen if you did pump into your blood?

you shouldnt see blood, if you do take it out...i started 3 threads with videos in the health/wellness section that should help you with all major injection sites..if you have any further questions after watching them PM me

By taking the guesswork out of the most daunting aspect of first time AAS use, you'll save some guys serious grief. Good lookin' out bro!

hello. thanks for the reply. i have read the tip about heating the oil some. from your suggestions here i sounds like a 23g pin might be a good ''inbetween'' place to start. since i am unsure where i will be ordering from. i could not locate a reviews section on this board. am i missing it? i ask because a lot of the reviews i have read other places on GP are not too favorable.

for what its worth, i've used almost nothing but GP in the last 2 to 3 yrs. my lat spread looks the way it does, because of 1 diet, 2 training and 3 GP GEAR.

but yea, a 23g is fine

hello, if i my jump in.... i am new here. most of the research i have read up to this point seemed to suggest a 22GA 1 1/2'' for injections. i am no stranger at all to shots ( allergy injections throughout early life and some adult life ) but i have nevr given myself injections. obviously i would rather use a 25 as opposed to a 22. is the 25 ok for a first cycle person looking to do test e at 250mg 2X per week? i have read that it may be difficult to get it through the needle with such a small guage. thanks!!

this is a good question. it all depends on what you're personally comfortable with and what oil you're using. but yes, anyone can use a 25g pin no matter what level they are at. as i mentioned in the article, i use them for everything, but a 23g is pretty standanrd. i dont personally know anyone who uses a 22g. you may be surprise as how much work it is to push oil through a needle with any pin. it'll be a lot different than an allergy shot. it can take a lot of effort with a 25g if the oil is thick. it can be done though. if you are here at JM, you may be considering using gear from our sponsor. lets take GP gear...it is very very thin. one might think it even looks like water in the vial. a 25 g will be ideal. very little work. now lets take omnadren...it is a very thick human grade oil. i have used a 25g pin but it took forever! if i were to use it again, i would get a 23g pin. so the short answer is, try both! see what you think for yourself.

also a trick that works well to make it easier, is to heat the oil a little. i use a hair drier. some warm their vials in warm water. just remember that you dont want water to contaminate anything. i use a hair drier to warm the oil in the barrel. just be careful not to heat it too much or you can burn yourself.

i got a question for how many injections do u use the same multi use syringe before u replace it?

Me personally..one and done. Pins and syringe combos are inexpensive and once I open it I figure the chance of contamination is not worth the risk.(having had an infection or two) No matter how careful you are...sometimes shit happens
