4. Pull air into the needle and inject it
into the vial. This creates pressure in
the vial, making it easier to draw the
steroid out with.
5. Draw the solution into the syringe by
pulling on the stopper while the needle
is facing up.
6. Pull the needle out of the vial when you
have the desired amount of steroid in
the syringe.
7. Hold the needle upright and tap the sides
until the air bubbles are at the top, then
push them out by tapping the plunger a bit.
8. Now you can either change the needle,
or use the same one to inject yourself.
If you are drawing from 2-3 vials, then
you might want to replace it at the end before you inject yourself.
9. Stretch the skin on the area of your
glute you are going to inject with your
thumb and forefinger.
10. Holding the needle like a dart, push it, in
a single smooth motion all the way into
your muscle.
11. Draw back slightly on the plunger, and
make sure it doesn’t fill with blood. If it
does, you are in the wrong spot and you
need to start over in another muscle.
12. Push the plunger in until the syringe
is empty.
13. Pull the needle out and put on a Band-
Aid. You can massage the area a little if
you want, as this can decrease soreness
the next day.
I “FOR
MAXIMUM
RESULTS, YOU
WILL ALWAYS
SHOOT IN
THE LARGEST
MUSCLE
POSSIBLE.”
f you are shooting elsewhere than the
glute, pretty much aim for centre mass
and avoid visible veins, but follow the same
basic procedure that I just shared with you.
I don’t recommend shooting more than 3ml
of anything into a given injection at any
given time.
If you are using a particularly thick steroid
(by that I mean the oil is viscous) then you
may want to hold the syringe part horizontal
under hot tap water for a minute. This will
heat the oil slightly and let it flow more
smoothly. Just remember to keep the cap on
the needle while you run it under water.
Personally, I’ve injected in my glutes,
biceps, quadriceps, triceps, traps, and
deltoids. I’ve considered calves, but it seems
a bit too awkward, and I’ve considered pecs,
but it seems a bit too “Pulp Fiction”.
I provided information on glute shots
because it’s the
easiest to explain
and because when
you shoot “X”
milligrams of a given
steroid into a large
muscle, you will
get a higher blood
plasma level than
shooting in smaller
muscles, even when
the amount and
concentration of the steroid is the same.
The lesson here is that, for maximum results,
you will always shoot in the largest muscle
possible. But you still can’t shoot in the same
spot more than once per week because you
will develop too much scar tissue. Remember
to rotate injection sites if you are doing shots
every day or every other day.
WHEN THINGS
GO WRONG
I
t is also pertinent to discuss what it’s going to look and
feel like if you get an infection. First of all, you’re going
to feel a kind of soreness that’s different from a typical
injection. It’s going to be more of a sharp pain, as opposed
to a dull pain.
The next thing is that it’s going to be discoloured around the
injection area and, will have a clearly defined border. I’m not
talking about a little red area here; it’s more like a very large
blister at first with some kind of fluid inside it. Yes, it sounds
gross, but wait, it gets better... During the final stage there is a
very viscous fluid inside the border, and a very dark discolouration. By this time, it will be a very
large protruding bulge that possibly needs to be drained. This final discolouration will be very
dark and at this point you’ll definitely know that something has gone terribly wrong.
I need to add that you may want to search the Internet for pictures of this, on medical
websites, but you should be forewarned that they typically show pictures of very easily
diagnosed infections and abscesses. What this means is that you’ll be looking at a very large
and absurd picture, which may look quite different from your own infection or abscess, if that’s
actually what you have. M.E
