Giving yourself the shot...

[DIVISION]

Ask Milos if aspirating is a waste, dude shot a ton of oil in a vien and almost died.  Someone before said aspirating is a waste of gear....how does it get wasted it goes nowhere?  Just a slight tug back on the plunger for a half second is all it takes.

People have quoted docs and paramedics on here about aspirating and they said they dont. Well duhhh....they are administering low volume WATER based drugs NOT large volumes of oil based drugs....you see that is what will cause your heart to go...................... ........................ ........................ ........................ ........................ .....

I never aspirate, but then I've never had issues with hitting veins either.

Only had two bleeders out of hundreds of sticks.

To inject directly in to a vein the injection would almost certainly have to be lateral because veins run lateral and I don't inject at that angle.

I tend to think Milos is the exception, not the rule.

This is the same guy who was busted for importing fake GH as well.

Go figure.

I was reading that your supose to alternate areas that you pin though? Wouldn't you have to rotate from your glute to another muscle? I've also read that aspitating is not needed. But your the ones with the expirence... i'm just trying to learn..

i rotate like this...left delt, right delt, left quad, right quad...repeat

i don't like to hit glutes because i drive alot for work and a painfull glute shot can really get annoying...

I like this link for injection info:

http://www.howtodoinjections.com/

Thats the site that i've looked at too.. so would it be alright when injecting to go left glute, right glute, left glute, right glute... or is that a dumb question and i'm looking for trouble by doing that?

[durbax]

Nevermind actually.. i looked on that site again and it says that you should have bout 6 injecting spots..

[durbax]

Lookin at tha site got me pumped actually... i'm ready to start pinnin myself as soon as i'm done reading about it.. i don't think i'll have a problem with it anymore

[krazee]

Durbax, just a dumb question, but do you know why they say to have at least 6 different injection sites?

And yes meds I know the answer, just want to make sure durbax does before he pins.

From what i've read it looks like its so it will have time to heal and so it will build less scar tissue.. is that right?

[blondmusclhunk]

If you only do glute massage the hell out of it right after hard and deep.  This will inhibit any scar tissue a lot of guys prefer only glute.  Shoulders will have a higher likely hood of scar tissue developing

Ahhhhhhh...a voice of reason.

Anyway, my favorite sites are proximal (top) lateral thigh and distal (lower) medial thigh, right in the vastus medialus (i.e. the teardrop muscle).  Easy access, and I can sit down when I do the vastus medialus which makes it very easy and comfortable.  Once, my secretary walked in my office without knocking and I had forgotten to lock my office door, and I was in mid injection.  I just brought my arm up onto the desk and started typing at my computer like nothing was happening, meanwhile my pants are down at my ankles and the syringe is sticking right out of my thigh!  When she left, I merely finished pushing.

Now that's hardcore too.

Must be nice to be able to inject on the job....

I take it you agree with Luv2Hurt that my refusal to aspirate is a bad thing?

You got it, also scar tissue is a bitch to push through, make sure you do your rotation and it should always go in like butter. 1 more thing, draw your AAS into the syringe with a different pin then the 1 you are sticking into yourself. That way the pin is fresh and sharp.

Not neccessarily bad, its just that I see no reason not to do it--it adds nothing to the shot whatsoever.  An additional reason I like to do it is that I like to know if I've hit a vein to avoid injecting into the resultant hematoma.  Hematomas are the "happy meals" of the bacterial world.
