I just shot 150 mg of test into my glute. Upon removing the pin, a little bit of blood mixed with the oil was coming out of the inject site. Did I lose my shit? I had the 22 1 1/2 all the way into the muscle and slowly depressed the plunger, there was a bit of air in the syringe.
What did I do wrong?
Oh and sorry for having you guys take me to “How to inject yourself for dummies”
Thanks in advance.

what i do is hold the pin in the injection site for a dew seconds after i have completed the injection since i started doing this little to no oil came out i usually only have a problem with oil coming back out if i depress the plunger to fast also although not too big but your needle is a larger guage which might contribute to the oil coming back out i use a 25g for everything now unless i dont pay attention and stick myself with an 18 that usually only happens when i do calf injections what a big surprise right? ha
That’s a big needle. I use 23 X 1.5" in my glutes, never lost a drop. But my wife sticks me in the glute, so I am totally relaxed.
However, I shot a 25 X 1" in my calf. I tensed up when I stuck and bled like a stuck hog.
Were you tense, or relaxed? I don’t know if it makes a difference, or not - but just going off my own experience relaxed doesn’t bleed nearly as bad as tensed does.
I would use a smaller guage needle - but that’s just me.

I’m not so conserned with the blood, I just don’t want to waste my test. I’ll see if I can get some 23’s to correct the problem.
Thanks
RJ i saw were you posted on supermuscle about your calf injection saying it hurt and what not calves are my least painful site are you injecting from the back or the side there are some nasty veins on the side you can hit that hurt like hell but if you try the inner side of the back it should be painless
I had this same problem especially while injecting my delts (1.5cc tren) - I just slowed down the injection process and it went away also make sure to use a fresh pin not the same one used to draw the solution and finally, massage the area with an alcohol swab.
