Ready to start very 1st cycle

[hughesy]

And I'm nervous as he!! about the first stick. I have a little needle phobia. Any advise you guys could share would be helpful. Besides just suck it up..LOL I get allergy shots every month but they are just the back of my arm with a 29gauge. Used to bother me but I have gotten used to them and I don't administer them myself. Was thinking about going in my thigh first since I can see what I'm doing better. Anyone else have this problem before? And what did you do to get past it?

 

[STORM SHADOW]

I use 25-28g pins. I smack the area 'til it's red...then just stick it.... it's deadened and don't even feel it going in.

it doesn't hurt bro-

just stick yourself in the upper outer area of your glute; ya won't feel a thing.

Yeah the glute is a lot better if you are worried about pain. A trick i used at the beginning is dont look directly at the needle but look at it in the mirror, makes it less scary. The only thing that really hurts on a glute injection is the intial breaking of the skin and the rest is easy. Don't be alarmed if you get a bleeder, it happens on the glute more so for me than any other spot. Thighs are easily accesible but can be painful, if you decide to do them i suggest you sit on the bed and let you legs hang over without touching the floor, this helps relax you legs and stretch them out making the neddle slide in easier. Dlets are pretty easy too btu you cant stick large volume in them! 2cc's or less, preferably 1.0-1.5cc seems to be best!

Like having sex with a whore, smack it until its red and stick it in, LOL!

Hey guys thanks for all the info. I sucked it up and stuck my glute about 5 min ago. I had about 30-60 sec of light headedness but that my normal reaction to needles. Its not so much the stick that bothers me as feeling the injectile going in. I really didn't feel it though just had myself worked up. Should be better on Fri. for next shot. If I did right glute today and do the left on Fri. where should I go after that. Right now I only have 22gauge 1.5" but can get smaller if I need to. Since it is just my first cycle I am doing 1ml 250 Sust. with 1ml 100mg/ml Deca Tues and Fri. I have Nolva on the way and have HCG and Clomid on hand.

oh man,,, my fav is the quad

they gotta be the easiest... you just put a pillow under your leg to let the muscle hang loose, slap the area, and inject in the mid area of the quad...
ive put in excess of 2.5 ml in each leg with minimal pain... i cant hit delts anymore after a 8weeker with suspension.... scar tissue... as long as you can give each site atleast 5-7 days to recover, then you can hit it over and over... but give each area time to heal.. if its still sore, and your supposed to inject in that area, skip it.. you DO NOT WANT an infection...

Sweet bro, don't worry it gets easier. I used to be paranoid and sweat my ass off and it would take me a good 5 minutes from beginning to end, now I swab it down, stick, aspirate and push, all done, wipe it off and toss a band aid on there and I am done. If you are doing only 2cc's each shot twice per week you can stick to yoru glutes, shoudlnt be a problem, just move it around a little so you dont stick the same spot. If need be hit the thighs but you shoudl be fien for now bro!

Good luck and happy growing!

Ok, 2 weeks in. 4 sticks down... Not so bad, Lookking in the mirror really seemed to help. Glute is sore rest of the day and part of the next but fine after that. Been getting a little sweaty but nothing too bad. Just have a glass of water on stand by and lay down for a minute if necessary. Thanks for your help bro's.

Bro you can run a 25ga needle. Go smaller you'll have less scare tissue over the long run. Bro there's the ventral glute (hip) there's the lats also. 4 places for glutes then 2 lats

I found practising on an orange first helped me a lot, feels very similar to an actual shot imo, don't be supprised if some shots go better than others, I administer all mine the same yet some go in and i can't feel a thing and others hurt like fuck, also helps if you make sure all the alcahol (from the sterile wipe) has completely evaporated else it tends to sting more.

 

[xcelbeyond]

Sorry to disagree with all you slap-happy guys here

You need to put CLEANLINESS FIRST. And even if you washed your hands prior to slapping that's not a CLEAN pratice. So you do your alcohol wipe AFTER you slap. Well it's the "drying process" of the alcohol that sterilizes/cleans the area so it shouldn't be wet when you poke (don't forget to wipe the septum also). By the time time the alcohol dries, all the "effects" of the slap have diminished.

I was just as big if not BIGGER BABY when I first started poking myself. You need to keep a mindset of cleanliness above everything else.

great answer. I took my first cycle when I was 22, then went clean for several years. but a friend of mine also used, and well, let's say that he didnt exactly practice the best way to keep the area clean and sterile. needless to say, he got a NASTY ass infection, he worked in construction anyway, so he was always sweating like a pig in the summerheat, and i'm sure that didnt help.

Make sure you keep clean, an infection is one thing you never wanna get. it turned my stomach when I saw puss oozing out of the hole in his leg, it was just f'ing gross.

1) swab the top of the vial with alcohol.
2) with draw the amout of gear to use
3) swab the area to that you'll shoot
4) just jab it in the first time. Don't worry about asperating. odds are you'll miss everything anyways

Note: I hate glute shots but love quad shots.

I see a couple of things here that I'm not a fan of.
1) first cycle should consist of test or sus only at 500 mgs split up twice a week for 8-10 weeks. No stacking is needed for first cycle.
2) 200 mgs of deca a week is a waste of time. This needs to be a min of 400 mgs a week.
3) should of had the nolva before you started your cycle. It's best to take 10mgs ed of nolva thru outr the cycle to prevent gyno. If you get gyno, your most likely going to get it every cycle. The above prevents that in most cases.
