S
o you’ve finally got your bottles
of injectable steroids, your
syringes and your needles, and
you’re ready to give yourself that first
shot. I’ll assume that you’re like me, which
means you’ve spent hours staring at the
needles and bottles before working up the
courage to give yourself that first shot.
When I started out in this game, like many others, I read the Underground Steroid
Handbook and got the advice to do glute shots “high and to the side”, but that was about it.
Well… that was, and still is good advice.
If you are a visual learner like me, here’s a better idea: Go grab yourself a porn-mag (no
really). Take a look at a picture of someone naked, facing away from you and standing up straight
(you may need to search for that one). Now draw a line down one of their ass cheeks, vertically, right
down the middle. That’s your sciatic nerve; stay away from it. Now draw a line across the middle, this
time horizontally, right through the middle of the cheek. See the upper, outer most part of those four
parts you just separated the ass cheek into? That’s where you’re aiming when you do an injection in
your glute.
If you are nervous you can practice holding the needle like a dart, and pushing it into an orange.
Apparently the surface tension of the orange makes it very similar to human skin, which is why
nursing students often use oranges to practice.
ADMINISTERING INJECTIONS
For a more comprehensive guide, here’s what you want to do for a glute shot:
1. Sterilise the area you are going to
inject. You can use an alcohol pad, but
a shower with anti-bacterial soap before
the shot is also fine. Remember, your skin
also softens up a bit in the shower, and
this makes for an easier shot.
2. If you are using a multi-use vial, clean the
top off with an alcohol swab. If you are
using an amp, crack it open.
3. Take the needle out of the package. If you
are using oil-based steroids, then you need a
22 or 23 gauge needle. Water based steroids
will usually go through a 25ga. and higher

needle depending on the compound. I
suggest buying a couple of hundred 23ga.
x1” needles with 3cc syringe casings (that’s
the part that holds the liquid). If you are
doing deltoid, tricep or bicep injections (i.e.
small muscles) then you can use anywhere
from a 25ga.x5/8th” needle to a 23ga.x1”
needle. Glute and quad shots usually require
a 1.5” needle, of the same gauges discussed
earlier. As long as the needle is open
enough to let the liquid get through, and
long enough to get past your fat and skin
into the muscle, then you’re fine.
