+ 1 My First Injection

ad

Just moments after completing my first injection I just want to let you all know my experience.

First thing I did was clean off my desk and put in front of me my vial of test, my syringe with drawing needle, my injecting needle, and my alcohol swipes. I then proceeded to take a nice long hot shower. After that I took a bowl of tap water and warmed the vial for about 2 minutes. I then dried the vial, wipped the top with an alcohol swab, inverted it, injected 1ml of air into it and then Drew out the required 1ml.

I then put on the injecting needle, then wiped the injection area and then pinned it, the only problem was that I am using a 25g needle and the oil was being a bastard child getting through it so I had to put a bit of force into it and after a minute of injecting it was in.

I then withdrew the needle, bandaged the injection site and disposed to the needles.

All in all a pretty easy experience, the only thing that wasnt so cool was the amount of time pushing the plunger.

Dont worry I sharpened an icecream scoop so I can just scoop out the needle and the muscle surrounding it.

Well you guys wanted a PIP update so here it is. My leg is not bad at all. Oddly enough it was more sore last night then today. Today however it feels like I just had a medium intensity leg day yesterday.

Sorry to dissapoint if I was supposed to be rolling in pain.

On a side not the only time I was rolling in pain was when my girlfriend punched me in the injection site last night, that really hurt

Slow injections are much better bro. The 25 will go a bit slow, but thats a good thing, take all the time it needs going in, the only time it's okay to be impatient is drawing it out of the vial, Get an 18 gauge then switch back to a 25 for injection. Drawing with the 18 gauge is much easier. But your form will come like everything else practice makes perfect.

I will, I am not looking forward to it apparently god is not on my side, each of my classes today got there room changes and all but one of them was on the other side of the campus that it was supposed to be so I have walked around 2 miles since injecting and will probably walk another 2 before getting to the gym.

Haha now that makes me laugh, guys who have been through it only talk about PIP when it is absolutely horrible, But the newer guys seem to think the PIP is always pretty bad, Virgin muscle, It will get better though. Oh and gsleepy. R.I.P Honkey Balls haha.
