Injecting is Scary

From a new guy who has experience with IM injections…
Injecting air is not a bad thing when doing IM injections. Having an air bubble in the syringe is like the “Air lock method” of injection, where all the aspirated air is injected back into the site, essentially creating a barrier of air where the compound won’t leak right out of the hole you just created with the needle. So in that instance, already having a small air bubble in the syringe would not cause any issues.

One of the the most important things to do, IMO, is to aspirate the site prior to pressing the plunger in. You basically stick yourself, then keep the syringe steady with one hand, while slowly puling the plunger up with the other. If you see blood, that’s not good - do not proceed with the injection. Slide the needle out carefully, switch to a new needle (just twist it off the syringe, since it’s already loaded with your compound and twist on a fresh one), and pick a new spot. I only have experience with quad IM injections, so no advice for glute or site injections.

Sanitation is really the other major player in this game. Swab your site and swab the bottle top. If you need to switch sites, swab again to be sure. And for the love of all that is good and holy, let the alcohol dry before injecting. The needle will burn like hell if the site is not totally dry. It should go without saying that the syringe/needle should stay in their sterile packages until the last possible moment, once you remove the cap from the needle, make sure the needle itself only touches the bottle top or injection site. My recommendation for minimizing pain in IM injections is to draw the compound up with one needle, then switch needles for the injection. It’s more sterile AND the needle going into your quad will be sharper which will equal less pain/discomfort. Dull needles hurt, badly.

Another poster already talked about potentially “bad” gear and not knowing what is in the compound you are injecting. If you are planning on injecting test, my advice would be to see if you can find a doctor willing to prescribe you test E or test C or test sustenon for IM injection. Granted, it may be extremely difficult to find someone willing to do this for you, and you should be very well versed in the types of labs you will want to have performed on a regular basis to monitor your overall health while reaching your mass goals. But this is not an impossible feat.

Best of luck.

dbol is known to be euphoric and give a sense of well being.

i know they say it can be but i didn’t expect it to be, but it’s kind of awesome… i did legs heavy and hard yesterday and I’m not even half as sore as i would usually be… weird.

Ok so quick question: if they are Amps then obviously it’s not going to dull the needles and i don’t need to switch to make sure it is sharp right? note: got 22 gauge 1 1/2" BD syringes.

@X3nospire - I have never used amps (and am not familiar with how that would work), but if you aren’t piercing anything with the needle other than your injection site, then no need to make the switch. I was referring to a multi-use vial, which I should have stipulated in my original statement.

Those BD syringes are usually a good bet. I got some ‘safety syringes’ one time that were kind of dull on their own, and had a pesky problem with retraction if the pressure from aspirating got too high.

What body part are you going to be using to inject into, if you don’t mind my asking?

47

It says 500ml of the test E every week, i know the Amps are only 250ml right? Can i suck up 2 in one syringe or should i do 2 separate shots?

yeah as stated above most people will lose most of the size from an oral only cycle. After a few times it becomes second nature to do injections. one thing is for sure just as much thought needs to go into your pct that you put into the cycle. I am going to try the test taper with masteron for the first time and i am more worried about getting that part right than injections.

This will be the first time i have to do every day injections so site rotation will be new to me. for your test cycle just hit your glute and let it ride. If you do the sus cycle you will need to pin every other day to keep your blood levels consistant. just keep it simple until you get comfortable with the process. test e is the way to go, you will not be disapointed.[/quote]

no problem sir i appreciate the advise. i was thinking my glutes first because i do not have a problem reaching it… but from what I’m reading people seem to like the quad site more… I’m kind of torn.

In the end, it’s all about your comfort. I have always used my quads. I switch between the 2 legs and rotate sites. I have some things I do to minimize pain that I can fill you in on if you decide to go that route.

Honestly, I don’t know if I will ever use the glutes to inject. I may experiment with delt injections sometime in the future if scar tissue starts accumulating in my quads.

Ok so i have been reading up and it seems like alot of people like to combine nolvadex and clomid for PCT… i was going to only use the nolvadex, thoughts on pct?

Yes, just suck up the 500ml of Test E and inject it. You’ll be fine. Just kidding. The unit of measurement that you are looking for is mg, or milligram. It’s a big difference. Each ampule contains a mL of liquid, and the concentration varies, but I’m guessing the concentration for you is 250mg. To answer your question, yes, you can suck up both ampules into one syringe. Make sure to suck up everything in the syringe because it may be a slow process.

Ya all the guys on here keep telling me use more more more so i was like fuck it ima shoot 500ML son! all at once goin big time! haha sorry typo.
