Giving the Injection
Buy the Injection
People buy anabolic/androgenic steroid solutions as they are designed for deep intramuscular injection. The most common sites of injection are the upper outer quadrant of gluteus (buttock) and the outer side of the mid thigh. This provides an ample area of thick muscle, facilitating the goal of a deep (typically 1 to 1 1/2 inch) deposit of the steroid solution into muscle tissue. Occasionally these solutions are also injected into smaller muscles such as the deltoid, biceps, or triceps. Athletes buy injection steroids as these produce visible effects in a lesser time than oral steroids.
The chosen site is not crucial, although there are some things to consider in deciding. For starters, the gluteus and thigh muscles are the best for larger injection volumes. They are sufficiently large in size that a 3ml deposit will not be extremely irritating. When using the shoulder and other muscles, 1 – 1 1/2 mL is the typical limit for comfort. Administering more may result in a deep soreness and possibly swelling to the muscle. The upper outer gluteus also have the lowest pain sensitivity to needle penetration, and is likewise an easy site to start with. The thickness and level of blood circulation given to a site also affect the rate of steroid release, although this does not amount to a great deal of variation. Technically a steroid deposit will remain in the gluteus muscle for the longest period of time, and release slightly faster in the thigh or shoulder (most rapid). Over the course of a cycle the difference would probably not be noticeable to the athlete.
