first self injection

[Younggymrat]

Usually my buddy injects me in the quads cause I get too shakey. But today I have to do it like a big boy all by myself. And I sorta dont know where to pin on my leg. Im using a 1 inch needle and looking to stay far away from that artery! Can anyone sorta guide me. thanks

[Younggymrat]

Inch and a half needle sorry.

At 18 you shouldnt be pinning at all. How long have you been on cycle and what are you cycling?

Inch and a half needle sorry.

In the thigh a 1" needle is plenty long. Divide your quad in half vertically and horizontally inject into the upper/outer quarter look up in the forum injection sites

go on youtube watch an instructional vid and its much easier in the glutes for me much more squidgy less nerve twitches, also a 1 inch needle would be less intimidating, i threw up first time i did it im pretty squeemish with blood and needles etc but it gets easy after first few now i look forward to it

Do you apirate? If blood enters the syringe you know you're in a vein, that's when you pull out and change needles/site.

If you're asking what would happen if you did put the oil in a vien then you would most likely cough your lungs up for 15 minutes, I hope to never find out myself.

Use this forum to educate yourself. You are asking questions that have been asked hundreds or thousands of times and have been discussed to death. Don't just stick crap into your body blindly without knowing what you are doing, how you are doing it, and what the risks are. You're 18. Use your head. Learn, learn, learn....sooner rather than later before you seriously injure yourself.

Your going to really hurt yourself, do you understand what may happen shutting your testosterone down before its fully developed?



There isn't an exact age were we all stop developing and growing because this is determined by our genes and DNA, we are all genetically programmed individually and we inherit our genes from our parents. To give an exact age we stop growing would be incorrect because everyone's genetic blueprint is different.The main development of our bodies is up to the age of 21yrs of age but this can vary between individuals. There are parts of our bodies what carry on developing and adjusting slowly up until the age of 25yrs old, an example of this is the brain. The Endocrine system is a part of the brain what is very complex and keeps our bodies in a homeostasis state. Our testosterone levels start raising and roughly peak around 25yrs old and then start to slowly decline, so even though some of us may have stopped growing at the age of 21yrs old, others may still be developing up until the age of 25yrs old.


I have recently spoken to my Endo regarding this matter and he tells me that the HPTA is very sensitive and as many pathways how it regulates the human body, he states steroids disrupt the normal balance of hormones in the body which can cause reversible and irreversible changes at any age but risks are far more if you administrate exogenous androgens during development, this will put you in a very unnatural environment at a crucial time and your hormones should be treated with care especially in the early stages of maturity. The adverse effects can be erratic behaviour of the HPTA and potentially therapy when your older.


I did ask him what age he would think would be the safest as far as risk to damages and he said many endocrinologist suggest full maturation is reached by 25 years of age and this would also give the HPTA time to be established with your natural hormone balance and patterns. I personally feel 24-25yrs old would also be ideal starting point to get bloodwrok drawn to see exact what your natural levels are before starting any kind of cycles and waiting till you have reach your testosterone peak would be a good starting point, for me there is to much evidence over the forums and what I've seen personally over the last 25yrs I've been bodybuilding. Obviously it isn't going to be all 19- 21yr old bodybuilders who suffer side effects what are irreversible but I am edging on the side of caution what age I advice to the newbies.

I failed to look at OP's age. And I agree with Marcus.
