Jittery hands while injecting...

So changing angles is bad? I was afraid of this, I have always tried to rotate injection sites as much as possible and use at least similar angles. What do you think about the mark from the previous injection? Should you go right next to it with roughly the same angle or should you inject far away from the last needle mark until it is faded away completely?

And man, your fear will go away soon. I shook the first week of injections as well but now I actually enjoy injecting and it takes me 1/10 the time to do it as before. Just think about the results you will get and keep your injections clean.

What do you guys think about swabbing the needle with isopropyl. I always do this (before pinning not after of course)

It is recommended NOT to do this because the alcohol may cause some burning. It is recommended to squeeze a TINY bit of gear out of the needle and let it slide down the needle. This will help lubricate the needle when you inject. I finished my cycle a few weeks ago and am on PCT right now but I never truly got use to doing the injections. They get easier but it was never anything I looked forward to doing. Just take your time and try to relax as much as possible. Taking a hot shower helps and it even softens the skin making the injection just a tad bit easier. It doesn't hurt at all but there is just something about sticking a needle in yourself.

Rotating your injections is correct, inject in the same area only once a week.

What I meant by different angles is going in and out on one injecting is where you can start building up scare tissue, not injection in that area once a week.
