    How to inject in glutes, stumped?

    Firstly I want to inject in the glutes (specifically laying down, not standing up) but i feel the muscle is tense in this position

    Secondly and most importantly - I physically cannot reach my opposite hand across close enough to put the needle in, i.e. don't have two hands to squeeze and inject simultaneously.

    What position do people use, any tips?

    Getting someone to help isn't an option

    I'm in the same boat, does this mean, you just stick it straight in, one handed then

    I feel like standing up is the best position but put it this way, I feel like if I don't inject with my head closer to the level of my heart, its prob going to end up there out of my control and I guess this could be dangerous whilst trying to self inject

    when I dont feel flexible enough to inject glutes, I just do a stretch up against the wall for 30 secs to loosen up. Seems to work for me... most the time I do find it hard to get my hand positioned to inject larger shots like 2CC+ so instead of trying to push with my thumb, I use my middle 2 fingers to hold the syringe and squeeze the plunger in with the palm of my hand.

    Do what I do. Get your girl to pin you.

    I just sit there and enjoy the feeling of the test entering my body.

    Notice any difference between 23g and 25g?

    I haven't used 25g yet, but I may next run.
