does injection spot matter?

[Csquared22]

I understand that the ass is the most common place to inject steroids but I am planning on running Test E 500 for 10 weeks and was planning on injecting in my quads. Will the injection spot effect my gains because I have read conflicting beliefs. Help please?!!!!

no it wont

The muscle and how much blood flow it gets can effect the half life a little. Such as the releases noted from the glutes can be slightly slower than that of the delts.

But the primary purpose of rotating sites is to avoid an ecessive build up of scar tissue. If you notice the site starts to get a little hard or otherwise uncomfortable - you should find new real estate.

Don't bank on any localized growth from AAS. As seen when you compare a properly virilized man to one with low testosterone levels - androgens tend to effect the upper shoulder girdle anyway. Men with naturally high testosterone levels tend to have broader shoulders, as well as more muscular. Once you administer exogenous hormones... the ester's metabolize and the parent hormones are released into the blood stream - they then affect the body in it's entirity...

thanks

quads and glutes should have about equal effectiveness. i have however heard info (i believe from anthony roberts, but i may be wrong) that injecting into smaller muscles reduces the amount absorbed/utilized by the body. had a chart and all from studies done, so it seemed pretty legit. regretfully i have no idea where it is on here, but maybe someone else knows and can find it. regardless, when injecting intramuscularly, i stick with the glutes and thighs now just to be sure i'm getting the most out of my AAS.

A recent question last month with Llewllyn...

Bill, do you have any supporting evidence that different muscle groups affect the release of different esters - based on the individual muscle's size, blood flow or general physiological make-up?

For instance - could TE in the delt have a different active/half life than TE in the glute? If so, which muscles tend to effect the ester's ability to create the "inactive drug depot" more than others?

Thanks!

Yes, I have seen these studies. The volume and site of injection effect the pattern of release, with a smaller muscle with high blood flow such as the delt offerering faster release. I don't necessarily agree that the site or volume actaully effects total bioavailability, as the authors of one study have concluded. I think that aspect needs further investigation..

In any event, injection in the glutes seems to offer the most sustained-release effect, and is the preferred site for depot steroid injections.

I would just go with your ass, its close to all your reproductive shit and gets in your system fast enough

not only that im always hearing about all this "site injection pain" issues with delts and quads( just watch this forum for two days)(some guy even tried his abs WTF!!) ive never had any pain in my glutes. the worst i had was a small bruise when the pin went through a vein, but even that didnt give me any pain. do yourslf a favor and inject them glutes!!

[killua]

thats true, when i try quads i always hit something and its painful, i never finished injecting into my quads, but with glutes thare are no problems

[Mista Massive]

with quads i get no injection pain and the oil goes in so easy, however, no matter what, i will always hit nerves and veins on the way in.

sorry to hijack this thread

hey massive from what you have said you have no cycle history
so how can you say this???

[Fordfan01]

i think he is cycling now

no cycle history???...are you sure...he answers questions like he's been at it for years...

i like quads because you can sit down and relax

Ditto.

You obviously havent had the horrifying expereinces of these other guys that hit the quad...they complain of not being able to walk...good for you..

[pigrond]

the only spots i havent shot are lats ,traps ,and glutes ,the only spot that hurts the most for me is the inner bicept on my left arm and the outer on my right kinda weird but thats it ive shot chest ,tricep inner outer,bi inner outer ,quads all around,delts mid only to many veins in front delt,calves also painful,ive never heard of shooting abs must be painful,i coudnt honestly tell you if any of the areas made a single bit of diffrence although shooting chest gives me an adrenaline rush

[sircharles]

Newbie here as well, doing 2 shots a week (Test-e). Im rotating between quads and glutes.

Aside from virgin muscle soreness for a day or so, those 2 spots are SO easy to inject into. The only problem I have with the quad is *sometimes* I can really feel that needle getting deep in the muscle (I might be going through a vein though). And like hanibal said, you can sit and relax while doing it

PS: You ever thought of running the Test-e more than 10 weeks? Im running mine 14 weeks simply b/c from what I understand, it doesnt even really kick in until week 6 or so.

this is why im confused!! i have pm saying that he has no cycle history and he wont be cycling until he is 25-26
