    Calf and Tricep injections...

    I was just wondering how many of you practice calf injections; how many of you practice tricep injections? How safe are each of these? With prop, Im gonna have to have many sites.

    www.spotinjections.com ... i wouldn't encourage spot injections .. the only spots that work with are winny in my book and the swelling of the muscles comes from swelling.

    good luck

    not exactly true..but i won't go into it seeing that was not the question he asked.

    To the original poster:

    You're using test-prop..that requiring ED or EOD injections you'd like to vary your injection sites...understood...

    From experience, the best sites to rotate are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, the delts, the triceps and pecs (the triceps and pecs being my least favorites)..other areas include the quads.

    The calf shot is an unpopular one IMO and quasi-dangerous...due to it's location(as a lower extremity)...it has poorer circulation...thus there is cause to be concerned about clots (or deep-vein thrombosis if my recollection fails me not)

    i use calf injections at least once a week cuz they're easy for me... but i've got bigger calves. i also like the biceps.. but not with prop, that was no fun. if you've got meaty pecs they're pretty easy too, just weird havin a pin that close to your heart!

    Very few people can take a calf injection and walk half way decent. I did one once that was only 1/2 CC and that went well, but next time at 1 CC or more... hooo boy talk about being a cripple for a week!!! You can get a condition that causes extensive swelling in calf and foot from calf injection and this can put you at high risk of deep vein thrombosis - which means a potentially deadly or disabling stroke to the brain when a blood clot in the leg comes loose and then lodges in the brain and kills 1/2 of it.

    ...There's not much to it.....inject in up towards the elbow area into the forearm extensor muscle that runs from the wrist to the elbow/tri area....I woulddn't go over 1-1.5 ccs for the first few injections.....

    there's no way i'd ever stick a needle into my traps. first off it would be hard as hell to reach the plunger and secondly that just seems like it would hurt like hell

    Pietro, traps seem to be a little easier for me if I lay my back against the wall ....it kinda gives the shoulder and back a solid area to rest on...I agree that they are a little tender @ first but like other injection sites, they get easier...

    Never tried 'em...

    I usually feel a bodypart to assess pliability prior to injecting...My traps aren't pliable in the least

    Your right, there are sooo many problems with calf injects.

    And no one brought up bicep injects, those are my favorite. Bi's are the easiest to get to, they are quick because of so little fat in that area, and veins aren't too much of an issue (aspirating is a sinch). I'd pick bi's before quads, but glutes are still my fav.

    Man...for some reason biceps scare me. I guess because of all the visbale veins. I guess the general consensus here is to do quads, triceps, delts and glutes. Ill probably hit the quads, delts and triceps the most. I may grow a sack and do bis, but I dunno.

    I never do more than 2ml's. My bi's are prepped for heavy shots since I used to run synthol in em, 3ml max. It was a waste.
