Delt injections twice a week (TRT)

[mac34]

My quads are out for some time now. I don't intend to inject butt.

I'm doing a TRT and have to inject twice a week. Is it possible with delts only/? Dosages 20ml per injection (40mg of T).

I would think about rotating it like: mid right delt, mid left delt, front right delt, front left delt.

What do you think? Would it be an overkill for the delts?

[GearHeaded]

when I'm on cycle i inject 2-3 times daily ,, when I'm off cycle I inject 3x per week. so you can imagine how many injections that is over a period of years. my delts have been injected 100s and 100s of times. its one of the easiest spots to hit. your injecting such low volume and low amounts and only 2x per week , you'll be just fine hitting delts the rest of your life.

of course, if you begin to cycle and run high dosages you'll probably want to rotate injection sites between, biceps, triceps, lats, quads, glute, pecs, etc.. but if your just TRT , your delts only are just fine.

Ok that's great. Thanks.

Were you injecting the same spot only, or different heads? The middle one seems to be the easiest, and I'm not sure if it's recommended to hit front or rear. Should I be good only with the lateral ?

I hit all 3 heads. it depends on the volume of gear.. if I have 2+ cc then I will hit the middle delt. if I have less then 2cc of gear to inject then I will hit the front or rear delt (as they don't tolerate as much oil as the mid delt)

also, I often times will hit multiple spots on one head using an insulin pin. so .5-1 cc in the front delt but injected two different spots

Why not add the glutes? They are simple to pin and handle oil really well..

[mac34]

How would I be able to see if the air bubbles come out so I dont hit the vein. Or are there no veins in the ass? Haha

Also I have a sterile abcess in my quad. I sure as heck wouldnt want to sit on that. Or imagine getting an infection

why would there be air bubbles in your syringe ?

even if I gave you 1000 syringes filled with gear, and gave you 1000 chances to purposely TRY and hit a vein, you likely never would accomplish that

[mac34]

I always checked prior to pushing the gear if air bubbles go if I pull the syringe. I thought that was required.

I believe the jury is still out on the final word on aspirating but I do it every time.

I wouldn't rule glutes out till you try them. I rotate glutes and shoulders, my quad I couldn't walk for a week when I first tried but I'll be going to again now that my technique is getting better. I am flexible and lean enough I can pin upper outer glute, hold barrel with one hand, aspirated and then inject with other hand, if not flexible enough just use two fingers around the plunger tabs and thumb against the barrel to aspiratee, yeah it takes some practice but once you get the hang of it I find glutes to provide the least PIP. Best advice I found was flex your glute and where the peak is during flexed is best area to hit. Moral of the story is don't knock it till you try it. Why not have more options?

Sterilizing the glutes is easy, pinning the glutes is easy and my glutes specifically love the oils i throw at them
Here's the thing you're worried about aspirating and hitting a vein?

Aspirating is what you do the first week your doc mentions it and than you forget...
I haven't aspirated in months and i do it now like a few times a year just to be safe but so far even if i hit a vein a little blood wont stop me from gains anyway
If I ever do end up injecting into a vein and coughing for a few minutes i think than i would start aspirating for a while but so far i dont think its a serious issue..

Wait wait wait one sec...
uhmm. asking for a friend.. why would air bubbles matter in the syringe?
I do one air bubble in the syringe and i dont want to let the oil out so i leave the bubble there and just pin anyway

i know if i hit a vein it could be trouble but is it really that much fo a problem?

You meant .2ml, correct?

I inject twice weekly as well and give my glutes and quads a break by hitting delts. I do try to rotate through the different muscle on shoulders ( anterior, medial, and posterior).

[Couchlockd]

I do EOD injections.

I hit left shoulder, right shoulder, left bicep, right bicep.

This is only .25ml gear each time.

On blast, it goes quads for 1ml and over.

If you stay super OCD about injection in shoulders, no lumps, no pain and minimal scar tissue will develop.

I wash hands , then sanitizer then I alcohol (I spray 91% on a folded paper towel, the pads aren't good for first cleaning)

I alcohol the shoulder with a pretty soaked paper towel for 30 second, then apply hand sanitizer, then I got it again fir 15 seconds with alcohol paper towel.

Inject

I rarely can even notice it's been 8njected.

Even into a vein a small amount of air bubbles is harmless.

[mac34]

Maybe it's as an extra preacution. It's unlikely you hit a vein, and it's unlikely your gear is contaminated. But if it was and you hit a vein...

It's a super rare scenario, but you do 1000s of shots in your life.

I think it's better to stay safe, considering it's like a 10 second thing to aspirate.

[GearHeaded]

don't think aspirating has been taught in medical nursing manuals for over a decade or more.. find a nursing manual from the 70s and you'll see aspirating as a common practice though. no modern nurse is going to aspirate now days. not sure why we would either (surely the entire medical community injects millions of more times per day then we do).
but still personal preference I suppose

I agree with that, i dont find it a big deal but everytime you hear about injections gone wrong everyone gets worried about air bubbles or hitting a vein and bleeding out a little bit.
I would on;ly see it as an issue if you start coughing uncontrollably or get really sick/infection from something

[ghettoboyd]

I leave a half ml of air in the pin after I draw whatever it is I’m injecting so when I inject the air pushes all the gear out of the needle so nothing is wasted...I thought that was standard practice and I’ve had no issues...

I think it's like a movie induced unrealistic fear of like spys injecting entire air syringes to kill lol! Somehow turned into fear of a single air bubble putting you down. Not gonna lie though I looked into it with the same worry before I started.

so did i when i first started after a while i got tired of letting some oil out to get rid of the air bubble.. waste of oil imo i need every drop i can get

True. Think about all the shots you've ever gotten at a doctors office. They NEVER aspirate. Never.

It is it's actually a taught technique called "Air Lock".

Designed to keep injections from seeping out of muscle and into fatty tissue causing a painful lump. "Z-Track" is the other technique used.

Going to try this tonight. Makes sense
