Never done glutes, such an unpractical spot for injections.
Really ? Why is that?Quote:

I tend to cycle among 8 different spots on my pecs and delts. Very easily accessible, shots can be done while seated.Quote:

I hate the way they make my delts feel, and this may be a miscalculation on my part, but I would break out with acne on my shoulders within a week of injecting delts.
I'd roll with #1
You guys notice the needle is pointing straight into the muscle in diagram 1? And diagram 2 isn't that great either. The needle's angle should be in between those two diagrams, at a 45 degree angle. OP, you can find far better diagrams than this online.
I want to know why you leave an air bubble in there i always make sure i get it outQuote:

With a insulin there is not tip so all the contents get pushed out.also there air is not harmful in anyway even for IV air will not hurt you you would need enough air to fill your heart 1-3 times to even provoke cardiac arrest.Quote:
