    self-injecting

    Anyone have any great methods I can use?

    Problem is nobody will inject for me, and the people that will I don't trust.

    So far I think ill stick to once a week 500mg test-c injections as opposed to twice a week. Therefore I'd only haveto rotate between 4 sites.and less frequent injects

    Any pointers or suggestions appreciated.

    honestly, i usually play music, and or do it after a hot shower which loosens up the skin, i dont look and i take a deep breath as the needle is going in. thats basically all you can do. unless someone has something better id like to hear? oh yea, and make sure you clean off the area first.

    hold needle like a pencil, stretch skin tightly. inject slowly, 30 secs a ml. i find massaging the area after makes it worse.

    how to do injections . com

    check out that site without the spaces.

    overall it's really not that bad at all once you get used to it.

    Personally, i think this part is the 'superbadass' portion of using aas. if you can stick yourself it makes you feel unstoppable haha. i remember back to my first time. i was shaking and scared to death with a cold sweat. but since its a breeze now. try 10 weeks of ed shooting.. talk about somethin getting old! but my advice just act like its no big deal, stay calm, be sterile, and dont ever forget to aspirate

    Just sack it up and act like you've got a pair. The first time is going to be nerve wracking...but so is the "1st" time for alot of other things. I could think of at least ten other "1st's" that were MUCH worse.

    The more you inject yourself, the easier it gets. Just get those reps in.

    Didn't even see this one.

    Inject APPROPRIATELY. Inject the cypionate every 3.5 days (twice a week)
    like your supposed to. If you can't use your aas properly just because you are afraid of injections...drop your cycle now and save yourself the trouble.

    I think that's bad advice. I never said I'm afraid of injections at all. I just wanna inject as unfrequent as possible. Drop my cycle because I opt for 4 intramusclar shots as.opposed to 1 month- 8? Yes I understand the logic behind injecting twice a week, but if the long ester gear still does its job, maybe a shot a week would be my preference.

    To the others, thnx for the advice...good stuff.

    It will get easier. Use the : http://www.s p o t i n j e c t i o n s.com/ website. Make sure you change the needle you draw with, make sure you swab the tops of your vials, and yes always aspirate .
    After awhile you will begin to enjoy injecting. I try and inject the muscle I am going to work out. So if it is a legs day, I hit the quads or Glutes. If it is a Bicept day, I hit the Bi... Shoulders, I pin the Delt. I think it keeps me from getting as sore.

    I'm not trying to bash you bro. But that response right there summed up your lack of knowledge. And bad advice? I've been on these boards for over 4 years, given out a gargantuan amounts of quality advice, and have completed 3 well executed cycles. Obviously you are afraid of pins if you really only want to inject once a week with your well educated knowledge.

    And you newbie's always cry about how you get flamed on....Instead of critiquing my response, learn from my advice.

    the last thing you want is a distraction while you are injecting something in to your body

    I just read all those, good read.

    I'm not crying here, I just know that I'm set on less frequent injections because its my first cycle, nobodies injecting me, and its a long ester. I've read plenty of info that suggests ther is no real need to inject a long ester that often, and that every five days or so is perfect. Everyone seems to contradict eachother on the internet, ill just go with what's gonna work for me. Don't tell me that I should just "forget about my cycle" because that's highly insulting. And that's the advice you orginally gave me, which is ridiculous. PLENTY of people inject once a week or every five days.

    Trust me bro. I have poked myself all different ways with all different compounds and I have to say freq. injections keep your levels stable and your gains will go alot further. WAY better results. IMO.
    Also try frontloading it is by far the best way to use your gear.
    You will get used to the pins. Actually I look forward to them now.....hmmmmm..... pins.........it's like Christmas 3 time a week. LOL.

    During my entire first cycle, I had a friend do it but he became unreliable so I knew I had to learn it myself.

    During my first shot of my second cycle, he supervised while I had the needle all ready to go. I just couldn't do it..... Second shot I was way overdue because he was never around so I went in the bathroom, got everything ready and tried not to think too much about it. I finally did it and it was NOTHING! I remember telling myself I couldn't believe I relied on him for sooo long when it was that easy. I always stick myself in the glute which is an awkward angle but you get used to it. I put the tip of the needle right to my skin and pressed slowly....aspirated then pushed the plunger slowly. After the first time, you actually look forward to it next time. ....or maybe I'm just weird.

    Sounds good. I'm pretty sure ill get the hang of it and end up doing the 2 shots a week regardless. Those spot sites are really what I needed. For some reason I always assumed that were you inject is very limited.

    You can inject Test C once a week if you like. You will get more sides, probably more bloat and acne, but you can do it. Yes twice a week is better, but anyone that says that once a week wont work is incorrect.

    My advice would be to start out with one injection a week but after about the 4th week, you should try to break it up into two injections. Other than that, man up and make it happen, the anxiety is worse that the actual injection, IMO...

    Well if you checked out www. s p o t i n j e c t i o n s .com you would see how many places you can actually pin. this past cycle I pinned my delts (painless), quads (most painfull), Lats (easy, painless) and pecs (very easy, slight pain and worries of tearing a pec muscle{im just being paranoid} ) I also tried pinning my traps but that was a bloody mess literally So after trying to pin my traps and having pain, blood and just a giant mess i decided to do my lats myself. Now you think you cant really reach your lats cus i tried and didnt work out to well my first time so i had my buddy do it but i soon realized that in a pinch i had to go myself. Its easy bro, just go ahead and start pokin, after the first time youll want to go again hahaha its kinda fun!

    bro as ive said before i love injections and done them everywhere you can possibly think of... glutes, quads, bis, tris, lats, pecs, traps, and calves... i will never do calves again, having tight sheded calves as it is 2 CC in the calves was the worst pain ive even felt in my life... not to mention when walking you flex your calves with every step....but injecting becomes second nature bro... soon youll be counting the minutes with joy until your next injection... and do urself a favor do the cyp twice a week and not once a week from the start of your cycle... your blood levels will stay much more stable with twice a week injections... with once a week injections ull have sooo many more negative side effects: acne, bloat, emotional problems... just take my word for it and man the f u c k up... it's all mental bro.. if you tell urself it will be easy then it will be easy... just man up and start your cycle shooting the cyp twice weekly... stop being a vagina and stick urself already...

    Ok, you have been flamed enough. This is what I suggest you do:

    Take your time, prepare for the injection. Grab the vials you need, swab them with alcohol. Now set out your alcohol swabs for pre and post injection for the injection site. Remember to breath, in through your nose and out your mouth. Get focused on what needs to be done, you are not an idiot. You know what to do and most importantly, how to do it. You only need to get over the first hurdle.

    Fill your syringe with "The Precious" and recap it. Swab the injection site and take a few moments to let it dry. Remember to breath this whole time and stay focused.

    Now simply administer the injection, do not rush it nor jam the pin in. You will have some soreness initially due to this being your first time. If you jam it in or move the pin around alot, you will only agitate the muscle further.

    Now slowly slide the PIN in until you can just see a bit of the needle. Now aspirate (should get a bubble or two) and now slowly push on the plunger, and I mean slowly. Give your muscle time to absorb the oil.

    Once you are finished. I would massage it with a alcohol swab.

    There, you are done and will be making another post five minutes after telling us how pathetic and easy it was bla bla bla.

    try quads they are the easiest as you can use 2 hands if need and they are right in from of you and for me they are the least painful. i dont know where you got 4 injections site if all you were gonna do is inject once and week. i would do it twice a week split into each quad. i started with quads just to get comfortable then i moved to delts and then tris

    You'll grow to love it.

    Try and do sites that enable you to use both hands - e.g. quads should offer a few sites per leg, and glute until you have got used to it.
