Introduction

Injections can be stressful for some; so to ensure this process is as easy as possible I have created a step-by-step guide on how to inject. This is a complete guide which includes the aids you will need to have pre-injection, during your injection and post-injection, while also recommending methods to prevent PIP (post-injection-pain).

Here's my injection guide' roster;

Pre-Injection Aids

~ Vial or Vials of AAS compound(s)
~ Syringe 3ml
~ Drawing Needle/Pin 21g
~ Injection Needle 25g
~ Alcohol Wipes
~ Sharps Container

Intra-Injection Aids

~ Warm water
~ Towel
~ Bowl

Injection Preparation

As I do with all of my injections, my first step is to always warm up the vials of AAS I will be using. To do this, I first ran the hot water tap until the heat is above room temperature and proceed to fill up a bowl with the hot water to approximately 3 centimeters in depth. The AAS vial will then placed in this bowl for 10 minutes.

Once the vials have warmed up, I then dry them with a towel (and flip of the cap if the vial is new/unused). Next, take an alcohol wipe (1 for each vial) and wipe the tops to remove and bacteria or any other dirt which can cause an infection. Then, remove the syringe and the 21g needle from their packaging and attach together (some screw together, others need to be pushed together). Then inject the amount of air into the syringe to equal the amount of liquid you will be withdrawing from the vial to make sure the pressure within the vial is safe (if you are drawing out 1ml of AAS from the vial, then inject 1ml into the vial - this will also make drawing the liquid AAS compound a lot easier). Place the cap on the 21g needle and un-package the 25g and attach to the syringe.

I then select the site I am going to inject. This is my right side delt and begin to follow the injection procedure outlined below.

Injection Procedure

The image below shows the places on your delt where you can inject, select a site and follow the step-by-step guide below;

1 - Remove any lengthy pieces of clothing from your torso, so that at least your delt is visible.
2 - Sit comfortably and relax your delt.
3 - With your middle finger (on the opposite side of the delt which you will be pinning) touch your side delt and bookmark this area.
4 - Wipe this area with an alcohol wipe.
5 - Sit down.
6 - Flick the syringe with the AAS compound in to remove any air bubbles and push the plunger so that 1 or 2 drops come out to lubricate the needle.
7 - Push the needle into the alcohol swapped site.
8 - Aspirate (enough to see an air bubble / if you see blood, withdraw the needle, change the needle and select another pinning location).
9 - Once you have seen an air bubble from aspirating, you're ready.
10 - Push slowly down on the plunger to inject the liquid.
11 - Once all injected liquid has been injected, withdraw the needle slowly.
12 - Cap the needle and dispose of safely in a sharps container.

Post-Injection Aids

Shower - Once you have injected, take a shower and massage the area to disperse the liquid for faster absorbtion and minimal PIP.
Heat Pad - Apply a heat pad to disperse the liquid.

Conclusion & Recommendations

Always follow the safety precautions with every single injection you do. Make sure all your apparatus is disinfected and sterile and take your time when you inject.
