No.....I'm hitting the gluteus medius area as it's in the side of my ass.If sitting down is easier, then most likely you are actually hitting your tensor fasciae latae. When you sit down, it's basically round like a tennis ball on the side of you hips.
For ventrogluteal injections you wanna hit the gluteus medius though, which depending on your individual anatomy may sit quite a bit further back.

I’m curious how many of you do all your own IM injections, or do you have like an SO do them for you?
1) Warm up your oilIf I had had help, I wud have done much bigger cycles in the past and would still do and achieve the best of my genetic potential. I can do max 2 shots on own per week glutes. Right glute is easy for me than left. I also know to inject outer quads witb the 24 or 23, 1" 2ml syringe. But its so weird lol arggghh.. I don't know to inject delts on own. Pinning glutes I get most irritated if the oil is damn thick. Thumb gets painful as it takes time and by then I get all sweaty. Feels like a lot of hard work. Sometimes I even skip a shot by a day or two thinking about the irritation of doing it by own. I really wish I had someone to help me. Only time I had someone inject for me was when my sister who is a nurse, was home for two weeks. But, I had to deliver her a long speech about steroids before she agreed to do it for me lol. I really wish I was into some other passion
When I first started TRT 8 years ago, I had a really cute nurse friend of mine giving me my bi-weekly injections. At that time, she would use a 23g 1.5 inch and inject my glute. I switched TRT docs after a couple years and my new one suggested sub Q every other day with slin pins so I started doing my own injections. Last summer when I decided to "take things up a notch" above my normal TRT, I found PM and started doing my own shallow IM injections when I started using other compounds. Like RMTT, I use low-volumes of the other compounds and I inject every day. I've been on a rotation of left quad, right quad, right ventro glute, right delt, left delt, left ventro glute and then back to left quad again. Just a clockwise daily rotation. I use a 29 or 30 g 1" slin pin and it's working great.
Where do get 1 inch 29 or 30 gauge pins from? And I really need to see a pic of the ventro glute injection. Google pics aren't helping.
I used 3ml 25g 1-1/2 pinsI have mostly injected everything myself, except for times when I was in a serious relationship and felt I could let my significant other into that part of my life. The few that I did actually looked forward to giving me injections.
That being said I have injected almost every spot imaginable. The first time I did chest injections I think it took me at least 15 minutes, I went as slow as possible trying to feel every millimeter of the pin slide into my chest making sure I didn't hit anything. First time injection sites would be under 1mg , after a couple comfortable injections in that spot I would move it up to 2-3mg.

Delts, glutes, rotate. Easy and painless.
My opinion: if you can't handle injecting yourself, you shouldn't be in this game. Nothing wrong with the misses doing a glute shot for you for convenience. But if you "can't" inject yourself, you're probably too big of a pussy to be playing with gear.
I actually wouldn't do blood letting by myself. In case you become unconscious or for some reason can't stop the bleeding, there should be someone competent to intervene.Agreed and I'm the OP here. I can inject myself, I was just saying it's much more relaxing to lay back and have someone do it for you. Hell, I've bloodlet myself before once, drained off a pint with an 18 gauge needle, tubing and a water bottle. LOL.
I'm just looking for ideas to make the experience more "pleasant" and less irritating, smoother if you will.
I took rmtt advise and my last shot was with a 29ga 1/2" slin pin, backloaded, into the quad. I warmed the oil and yeah I had to push a bit, but it was a piece of cake. Felt nothing.
Bloodletting solo is pretty hardcore haha...Agreed and I'm the OP here. I can inject myself, I was just saying it's much more relaxing to lay back and have someone do it for you. Hell, I've bloodlet myself before once, drained off a pint with an 18 gauge needle, tubing and a water bottle. LOL.
