Im new to these forums, but I've been using eRoids for sometime.

An Injection guide. Hope it helps. Veterans be gentle, none of this is based on bro-science, its based on my nursing experience.

Anyways if any of you are wondering why I think I know what im talking about when it comes to injections/pip.

I worked as a certified phlebotomist for two years, first at a blood bank then at a hospital. The two years
I worked as a phlebotomist, I also attended school to become a registered nurse. I now work at a hospital as an emergency room r.n.. I have more experience giving intra muscular injections and intra veinus injections then I know what to do with.

Im not gonna go into what aas/esters cause more pain then others, what im gonna cover is the proper way to antiseptically draw and inject, and also techniques of sticking oneself the proper way to ensure less pip and less chance of infection.

A few of these techniques may not sound so traditional to some so bare with me hear.

Have all your injection supplies ready at hand,
your draw needle , inject needle, syringe , vial/amp, cotton pad, alcohol.

Clean vial stopper with alcohol for 60secs, do not just wipe it once. Continuously wipe it with alcohol for 60 secs, alcohol takes time to sanitize.

Use two separate needles, one to draw , one to inject never use the same needle that is a big nono, it contaminates and dull the needle. Use a 18/20g needle to draw, If your doing 1cc pull 1cc of air into the barrel then inject the air into the vial.This pressurizes the vial and makes the oil flow much easier into the syringe. I see alot of you guys using 25g or smaller needles for
oil, that is unheard of in the medical field. You should inject with a 1.5-2.0inch 22-23g needle, 1.0inch needles do not get deep enough into the muscle. You should inject 1cc of oil with a 22-23g needle inside of 30-45 secs, do not rush it you can feel the pressure talking to you listen, when the plunger pushes back stop! dont push harder. Stop wait give the oil pressure in your muscle time to disperse, then continue. Once the syringe is empty, dont pull the needle out immediately, there is still pressure in the muscle you pull it out and the oil can force its way back out of the muscle, just wait about 10-15 seconds to pull out.

Always sanitize the site where your going to inject with alcohol for 60 seconds, and after the injection sanitize again for 60 seconds

The actual needle stick is important, always approach the muscle inject site with the needle bevel up, this allows more control and ease of muscle entry for the needle. Depending on your inject site and angle you can use the dart technique with the needle, meaning you push the needle at the inject site as if your throwing a dart, ''dont actually throw it pls". Dont be slow with the needle stick, be quick and with out hesitation.
Do not anticipate the stick, you will tense up and tair the skin and muscle. Put the needle stick deep into the muscle, never inject shallow you will regret it, injecting sub-dermal will almost certainly turn septic. Once the needle is in before you push down on the plunger, pull back on the plunger just a little to aspirate the syringe, this will let you make sure your in the muscle and not in a vein or worse an artery.

If your doing a glut injection, you can use you hand to map the proper inject site. Take your hand palm down, place your thumb on the back part of you hip bone and count five fingers in. Where your pinky lands should be the proper inject site, and this should keep you clear of the sciatic nerve.

If your doing a quad injection, always place the inject site on the outside of the quad, never go to the inside of your quad near the femoral artery.

Oh yea heat up the vial a little before you pull your oil, you can use the warm water method mentioned in other threads. Or what I do Is take the vial and place it under my arm pit for 2 minutes, once you have the syringe loaded you can use the arm pit method with it as well.

^^the above info is medical practice and procedure.

I am man enough to admit when I am wrong, and what I am wrong about is the use of 1ml barrels with 25-27g needles. Being medically trained as I am , I have never used 1ml barrels coupled with 25-27g needles for oil injections. In my experience , in a medical setting its 2-3ml barrels with 22-23g needles for oil injections. That being said during my most recent cycle, 2018:Test prop : proviron its listed in cycle logs, I decided to do my own experiment and use 1ml syringes with 1inch 25g needles, I did EOD injections of test prop, rotating injection sites right glut, left glut right quad, left quad, right shoulder, left shoulder. The test prop is in amps, I pulled the oil with 18g needles, and injected with 25g needles.

As a control for the experiment, at first I used my normal 2ml barrel with 22g needles. I experienced the usual amount of pip the first week and thought nothing of it. The next week I switched to 1ml with 25g, needless to say I was shocked at how much of difference there was, I felt basically no pip, and the injections were smooth as butter. I tried using a 25g needle with a 2ml barrel, it was much more difficult to push the oil, and a fair amount of pip returned. Though I do not fully understand fluid dynamics, its obvious that the coupling of the smaller diameter barrel with the 25g needle produces more balanced injection pressure.

I did not use slin syringes, I bought 1ml barrels with interchangeable needles. Though back loading insulin syringes would work just as well Im sure, also I noticed that I did not cover the importance of removing air bubbles from the syringe in my original post. To any new guys who turn to my post for info, always make sure to remove all air from the syringe before injecting, even a small amount of air is extremely dangerous.

I know to most of the vets on eroids this info is common knowledge, I am just posting this up for people new to aas. Antiseptically injecting can not be overstated, sepsis and infections are no joke they hospitalize and kill people far to often.

Rotate injection sites left glut, right glut , left quad , right quad, left shoulder, right shoulder.
