Many anabolic steroid users still don’t understand where to inject on the body and exactly how to self-administer the injections. There are intramuscular and subcutaneous injections of steroids. In addition, a large amount of people using steroids can’t explain to another person the difference between injecting into the delts versus the glutes (or buttocks). This article will help you avoid mistakes when using anabolic steroids in the form of injections.
INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTIONS
Basically, all intramuscular injections can be divided into two types, these are systemic and local. Injections into the buttocks are systemic because the effectiveness of the drug is maximum, due to the fact that the amount of steroid released into the general circulation reaches 100%. For example, injections into the anterior deltoid are not as effective as, in this case, only 70% of the administered drug enters the general circulation, the rest goes to local muscle growth. Also, it can be said about the injection into the lateral surface of the thigh, in which case 85% of the administered steroid enters the general circulation. More experienced steroid users have their preferred injection site and in most cases can provide reliable, trustworthy advice to individuals not so experienced with injectable steroids.
Before using oil-based steroids, many people will suggest and/or highly recommend heating the ampoule or vial slightly which can be done by holding the vial in the palm of both hands for several seconds.
INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTIONS
Local injections are placed in a specific muscle group in order to increase strength, volume, endurance. For example, an injection of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) can be put locally, that is, into a working muscle, in practice, to increase muscle strength, it is better to use systemic injections, in the fat fold on the abdomen.
All local injections are carried out using an insulin syringe, or a syringe with a volume of 2 ml, the needle length is about 45-60 mm.
Winstrol, testosterone suspension, testosterone propionate and nandrolone are the drugs that are most suitable for local injection. First of all, for local injections, the outer side of the quadriceps and the average deltus bundle will be suitable. Users can also do injections in the triceps, the latissimus dorsi, pectoral muscles, trapezium, and very carefully in the biceps and calf muscle.
Oil-based anabolic steroids (testosterone esters) and synthol put 2ml syringe, needle length is 2.5-3 cm.
SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTIONS
Subcutaneous injections have proven themselves quite well with regard to such effective bodybuilding drugs as insulin, insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), and growth hormone. In addition, insulin injection can be not only subcutaneous, but also intramuscular and intravenous. In the latter cases, the action of insulin occurs instantly, but it is more difficult to control the process, so the subcutaneous fat layer is considered the best place for insulin injection. The insulin-like growth factor can be placed in the same way as subcutaneously and intramuscularly, in the latter case, scientific evidence suggests a more effective approach for the injection of IGF-1.
The well-known, chorionic gonadotropin can be placed subcutaneously, as well as intramuscularly.
Do not put injections of anabolic steroids in the same place, as this may lead to the disappearance of the subcutaneous fat layer of cells in the place where the injection was made. It is extremely important to rotate injection sites and NEVER inject in the same place back to back. Users that ignore this vital piece of information are simply asking for pain and the possibility of infection(s).
TUMORS, ABSCESSES, AND HEMATOMAS – WHAT ELSE TO BE AFRAID OF
It is also worth saying a few words about the sores that may occur during the injection process. Tumors, abscesses and hematomas are not very common but can be the result of haphazard or foolish steroid injections. Of course when any individual injects a syringe into the skin, pain or a slight pinch is going to be felt. This is typical. Those with years of experience can differentiate between “normal” pain and the feeling that something just isn’t right. Sometimes after an injection, a small bump/lump may develop. This is nothing to get excited or worried about. Learn and understand the signs and symptoms of an infection. Redness, tenderness, a warm/hot feeling and pain that persists for several days may be signs that an injection is developing. This can occur when people use non-sterile syringes, reuse a syringe or don’t treat the injection site with an alcohol swab prior to the injection. Infections, tumors, abscesses and hematomas can also occur if a fake or counterfeit product is used. A non-qualitative, anabolic steroid produced by the artisanal method may contain various chemicals. As a result, the body activates a defensive reaction, and it begins to reject the injected drug. Many people opt for oral anabolics to avoid the pain that can be associated with steroid injections. But the risk for a counterfeit or fake product is still present.
Tumors that may occur after an injection are treated with electrophoresis, compresses, and iodine nets. A ruptured tumor leads to an abscess, as well as in the first case it needs to be treated by electrophoresis, in most cases surgical intervention and antibiotics are necessary. Many anabolic steroid sites also offer antibiotics which are a good addition to any purchase of steroids. Rather than going through the hassle of contacting your family physician for a prescription, buy a supply of antibiotics from your trusted steroid source. Better safe than sorry.
Hematomas that may occur when performing an injection are easier to treat, unlike an abscess. A damaged blood vessel leads to a hematoma, which most often resolves by itself, without a trace. Repeated injection can touch the neighboring capillary in the area of the hematoma, in which case the inflammatory process may develop, but it is not very difficult to treat. Users can simply apply a cold compress the next day, followed by a warm compress. In addition, an antiseptic ointment or gel can be applied to aid in the recovery process.
Having read the above information, individuals can properly self-inject anabolic steroids with little or no pain and/or issues. Those who choose not to use injectable steroids typically don’t take the time to learn the proper protocol. He/she is potentially missing out on the unbelievable gains that could have been achieved.
