Seems like you are going through a lot of unnecessary steps to inject. Showering to warm and relax the muscles? Heating the gear under water? Nothing wrong with any o this, but its not brain surgery, it's a silly little injection in a muscle! As long as you are using sterile techniques, there's no need for all the extra preparation. Load the syringe and inject!

Yes you'll hit a nerve on occasion. Yes you might graze a vessel and get some blood. If you're worried, withdraw the needle, replace it with a new sterile one (needles are cheap enough) and reposition and inject.

Some muscles are easier than others but PIP is part of the process. Sometimes it's worse than others, sometimes it's nothing at all.

Don't stress about it.

......and as Fit said, hopefully it's at least 2x a week and even that seems like your are under dosing based on the info provided.

Being this nervous too me is questioning the very use of steroids. My 1st inject I was lucky, buddy is a 20 year veteran of using the gear. Took it in the leg, followed all the safety and cleanliness protocols. He injected for me, done. He then advised me, don't over think it, it's done, no guilt. Next inject he made me do it myself as he watched. It was painless. I read and he told me, keep the needle steady, don't move it. Moving it tears the muscle fibers and can sting. Been on my own ever since without issue. I just go slow, make sure I don't miss a step and breathe calmly.

Oh no dont get it wrong Im completely focused on the proper use of aas as it is a great tool to help acheive my goals I say tool as we all know its no magical compound that will give you the ultimate physique you have to put in serious work and be well disciplined with your diet and training. that being said the minor phobia of needles comes from a bad chicldhood incident where I was around 6 years of age and went to the doctors for a simple flu shot and the nurse or Pa broke the needle in my arm and it hurt like a bitch try to imagine the chaos of a young man and retard of a nurse scrambling to find some sort of instrument to pull the needle out. Anywho I have gotten tons of tats a good half sleeve on one arm and I have a high tollerance to pain so it has nothing to do with that it just brings back flashbacks and some anxiety when its time to pin. Im sure after a few pins i will be just fine Im trying to be more accustomed with the actual injection of the needle hopefully by my 4th pin Ill do it by myself. My first pin was yesterday and I barely felt a thing, she said as soon as she pinned me my muscle started to twitch so she may have hit a nerve...Its a learning process for sure but that wasnt fun wish i was one of those lucky bastards that i always hear about first time went smooth with no pip..must be nice! lets see how thursday goes..
