How do you know if you injected deep enough ?

[Michael Scott]

I just did a thigh injection and it started to bleed. I didn't stick the needle fully in, I may have left like 1/4 or more sticking out. Is there a way to tell if the fluid reached my muscle ? If my leg is sore a little later today does that mean the injection was a success ? I really don't want to be wasting gear

How long of a needle are you using to begin with? If they are too long and you arent comfortable using them go for smaller ones. My general rule is: 1"for below the waist and 5/8's to 1" for upper body. I started doing bi's/tri's with a 1/2" and moved up to 1" once i was comfortable. As long as its in you, the juice will be too.

sorry I forgot to mention I was using a 1 inch needle

Try switching away from the quads. I used to do only quads for my injects and looking back, they are the worst to inject in terms of nerves. Keep the 1" and start doing pecs, and tri's. ive never hit a damn thing there.

I'm injecting prop so I don't know if I have the luxury of staying away from quads. But is there a way to tell if my injection today was a waste or not ? Since for this first week I'm gonna do EOD injections, I wanna know if I should inject tomorrow or not. Cause if no was absorbed today I'd like to inject again tomorrow.

I use 1" for quads and leave the needle out about a 1/4 inch. I would think if the injection was not deep enough that the compound would leave a lump under your skin at the injection site and eventually dissipate. Soreness won't tell you anything and bleeding can happen with any shot.

I love injecting quads and 1" needle should be fine. Just to make sure, I now order 1" 1/2 needles. That way I never second guess myself

How do you post a new thread? I acutally have a question about how to sustanon? I have a 10 week cycle and I am wondering if i need any DHt blockers or estrogen blockers while i am on it? If so what is the proper amount per week and when should i take it etc? There is just so much info on here and i dont know where to start....thanks

well whatdya know, im shooting prop as well. go for ED injects, im ~5 weeks in and no problems thus far. im shooting only upper body right now and love it, just started getting the "damn, you are getting huge" comments (3 times in a day!).

[DontPlayByTheRules]

I'm using 1" needles and injecting test prop EOD in my thighs. No problems so far, ever once in awhile I do bleed. I want to try another spot, maybe my tri's but I might have to have someone do it for me.

What does "ED" mean?

[CeeLo]

I was told to use 1/2" needles into the thigh because my bodyfat was not that high. I wonder if I'm getting deep enough with everyone using 1".

[RoadToRecovery]

What does "ED" mean?

ED generally means Every Day... EOD is generally Every Other Day

there is no lump and I didn't see anything exit my skin, so does that most likely mean it was absorbed ?

dude do glutes, they're so easy

I was thinking of doing ED and I still might, I just heard from a few people that there is no difference in gains between ED and EOD, just some increased sides from EOD. Not sure what sides though, maybe some extra acne I don't know.

I hope to get those "you're getting huge comments" soon too. What do you weight and how many calories are you eating if you don't mind me asking ?

I only have 1" needles (23 guage).......

[italionos]

[italionos]

^^ x2 i love quads but i will also add my right side doesn't really leak but my left does, my girl was telling me your blood flows through that side more (shes a nurse) so i only do right glutes and right and left quads. i think inch and a 1\2 is the best to use for quads.

all depends on the zeek

On a rare occasion I've had some oil back out of an injection site - I'd say that's the only time you'd have an issue. I usually wait about 30 seconds with the pin at my full injection length, then withdraw halfway and wait another 30 seconds. This seems to minimize bleeding etc. (I have been concerned that the bleeding post injection is disproportionately oil).

If you look at the amount of oil/blood and use the pin to draw up and splash about .1cc of water next to it I think you'll see that any amounts backing out are actually miniscule. OTOH, quads are some the the largest muscles on the body, larger muscles = better depot, better depot=better utilization of the gear so shoot quads second only to glutes.

If you want to prevent leakage and greatly reduce bleeding you can inject IM using the "Z" method Basicly you slide the skin at the injection site slightly insert the needle do the injection and when you with draw allow the skin to slide back this basically patches the hole from the needle. I learned about it from a U.K. medical text works great. here is a link http://www.nurseminerva.co.uk/givinginjections.htm

Thanks 3v...

my thigh is really sore today, so I think I did hit the muscle.

[power0311]

shoulders are another good one personal fav...specially if u only have 1in pins

[Michael Scott]

I can barely walk from the pain from my glutes and thigh

[CsB]

Its virgin muscle, just take 800mg of advil and literally walk it off.
