Inject Locations

[stumpy29]

How true is it that your body absorbs alot more of your gear by shooting in the glutes? My cycle I will be shooting ed for 12 wks so I want to rotate. I like shoulder, pec, and shoulders injects. Do you get as much out of your gear by injecting these locations. Does it absorb as well? I noticed my last cycle if I did pec or shoulder injects I had a lump that day by day would be farther down my arm and sometimes pecs.

I have heard the same as well but never really seen a published study and rarely use glutes as an injection site because its very awkward for me. I have not noticed a difference in less gains or whatever. It will be a miniscule difference in my opinion.

only thing i have heard is nark saying something about calves being krappy due to blood flow and distance from torso or something ..

[lucabratzi]

yeah i dont believe it matters were u shoot as long as its in a muslce...but for ed shots i would do more then just pecs and shoulders...i would add quads, glutes...then u have ateast 8 rotation sites...

As long as it is in a muscle it should be relatively the same. I suppose the increased blood flow of some muscle bellies might affect the ester's release - but it is pobably pretty negligible.

If blood flow of the environment didn't have any affect, then technically it wouldn't matter if you went IM at all... as far as I know, you administer IM to get the gear into a place where there is increased blood flow to break down the ester in a predictable fasion... unlike injecting into fat or Subq.

As far as "your body absorbs alot more of your gear by shooting in the glutes" - your body will absorb it all regardless of which muscle you use. It's the pattern of the ester's release that could become unpredictable.

Don't know about blood flow, but have done calv injections and can say first hand there's got to be better spots to shoot. I had difficulty walking for almost a week. Never gonna do that again. Otherwise, I don't really think it matter a whole lot where you shoot so long as it's IM, and the shot is deep enough. ie. none of those small needles, 1" min. 1/5" optimal, IMO.

I injected 500 of sust today is that too much for one injection the same time?

Make your own thread or do a search. Dont hijack other threads. This has been answered probably 500+ times before. Also we have no idea how many CC's 500mg of sust is in your case. And we have no idea where you injected either so how can anyone possibly answer your question? And Im pretty sure if you already did the injection and didnt have a problem then guess what, its obviously ok to do.

delt, chest, bicep tricep and quads r my fav

[TheSentinal]

The best place to inject is one where you feel most comfortable and can follow safe, sterile techniques.

Muscle is muscle. As long as it is not an area rich in veins and nerves, you are good to go. I LOVE quads, because the rig is near vertical when I am in the seated position, and I can use the air bubble technique to cut down on wastage. I divide my quads each into four shooting zones, so I have eight sites right there. Adding pecs and delts and biceps, and I don't even need to shoot those awkward old glutes if I don't feel like it. In fact, I haven't been using delts much lately, due to awkwardness. Absorbtion will be close enough to the same, no matter which muscle gets it. Make sure the muscle is big enough for the size of the shot, though. A small guy would not want to shoot 3cc into his pec, for instance. Glutes and quads can, in most folks, take up to 3cc. It is just a matter of volume. Big muscle, big shot. Small muscle, small shot.

i usually stick to thighs and shoulders for injections. thighs dont hurt at all for me

[mark210]

Thanks alot for the reply C BINO!!!

[one8nine]

i injected in my calf today just to try it and im gonna have to tell you that was one of the worst choices i have made in my life

[HoldMyOwn311]

How much did someone pay you to try that?!?!

Dumb question here guys but I really am curious...if I'm injecting in my butt odds are I'm getting it in the muscle right? I'm using 1 1/2 inch sticks and it's going in about 2/3 of the way.

You should be - unless you have a fat ass... You should be able to feel a little difference in tension when you penetrate into the skin, then into the fat... and the final pop would be going into muscle. Pulling the skin to the side should help shorten the distance... release the skin only after you ahve then removed the pin.

I would stick that sucker in so that only about 1/4" is still out. The muscle is very thick there. So is the fat, BTW. The extra 1/4" is good insurance I think.
