Injection sites and half lives

[SFMikeS]

I have read a few things that claim the denser muscles like delts and bi's slow the half life down a bit and glutes and quads give the commonly accepted half life of a given compound. How much truth is there to this? Right now I rotate 6 sites- glutes, quads, and delts but if this turns out to be true would it be smart for me to cut out delts so everything releases/breakdowns at the same rate? I am just looking for the best way to maintain the most stable blood levels possible. Maybe the difference is negligible but I am interested to hear some opinions and maybe some supporting studies. Thanks.

I have never heard of this,, and even if {mind you i dont believe it} it was true it would not be enough to warrant not using the delts....

I don't believe the chemical makeup of a drugs automatically alters due to injecting it at a different place

If you're referring to hydrophobic chemicals such oil, It's possible that a muscle that contains less water would secrete the steroid at a slower rate due to chemicals tendency to repel from water molecules. This is the same principal as mixing oil and water. The oil does not mix with the water due to the oil's tendency to repel from masses of water

In terms of injecting steroids , I doubt if this will really make much difference in the effectiveness of the chemical

I wouldn't think the chemical makeup changes either, just slower absorbtion and thus a longer half life which may be important for injection scheduling purposes. I do think the difference may be small enough not to matter much but I was just curious.

This is going to sound like a dumb question, but here it goes. If you injected in a site more frequently could the receptors become less sensitive or does the receptors have nothing to do with the site????

A half life of a drug will not change. I think you have half life confused with absortion rate.

IM absortion rate depends on the blood flow of the muscle you are injecting into. I do believe the absortion rate may be faster/slower depending on which muscle you choose.

IMO - Glutes > Delts > Quads are the best... I think people that get all crazy and pin triceps and chest and shit just enjoy pinning..

Slower absorption does not equal "!=" longer half life
