Need to man up....

[Phiba Optik]

Hey folks, I will make this short and sweet. In my previous threads I got advice from all the bros/sis at EF. I assembled my cycle and have everything necessary on hand (PCT, AI etc). My problem is, I am flipping my shit when it comes to injecting myself. I keep being a big ass bitch about it. Any advice for a first time pinner? I've looked at spotinjections as well as many youtube videos and shit, but from your own personal experience, what do you think would be the best place to SELF-inject? I was thinking ventroglute or maybe my quads. I was trying not to get "too crippled" because I have to stand for 8 hours at work.

I don't know if my stats would be needed but:
23 yo
203 lbs
6'2
14-15% bf.

Pinning 250mg test-e (2 times a week)
I have 23g 1' and 25g 1.5' on hand.

Also, since I've made this thread might as well ask:

What are anyone's recommendations for stretch marks?
I have gotten some over the years from lifting, and if I blow up on this cycle, what are some ways I can prevent them marks?(I was thinking maybe some cocoa butter cream?)
Also, I am sort of acne prone, what measures can I take to prevent or at least lessen on cycle and post cycle acne? (I was thinking maybe some topical creams and vitamin b5? I don't want to use accutane and further stress my liver!)

I had a hard time pinning myself the first time too. Now it's a breeze. Bite the bullet and just do it. I pinned my quads first and never switched my entire first cycle. Now with my 4 cycle I pun everywhere and actually look forward to doing it. If you still can't do it, try having a buddy do it for you the first couple times

Jojo thanks for the response! I want to just do it but I can't haha. I feel anxious (not a panic attack) but I just tremble kind of and sweat like a greasy pig. It's funny, I remember skydiving in Athens and I was scared shitless (even though a pro jumper was strapped on with me) but he jumped and I obviously followed! I think the pain would be less if someone else pinned me rather than me doing my first one, but in my best interest, I am "natural" and don't want any other labels from friends so I can't ask for help.

use ice to numb the area. pin the delts.. you don't want to stick the needle in like a dart, you want to push it in

i hate injecting myself, i never have liked it.

Yea I was shaking like crazy with a dart hanging out my glute. you will get over it once you do it.

I like the delt 1st time.. relax the muscle and maybe use the 25G pin so you won't inject to quickly and it'll go in much easier.. I find it easier if I pinch or slap the area I'm about to inject.. strange bit it works for me.. good luck mate

I also find that it hurts more when.I watch it pierce the skin.. put it to you skin, turn away and press.. then watch as you aspirate

I always hit the glutes, upper outer area, push the pin slow and steady until it "pops" through the skin, it will sting until you pop through the skin initially, then keep pushing slowly until its all the way in, then maybe let it hang there, take a break and grab the syringe again and plunge the sauce in. then yank it out really fast and grab the cotton swab and massage the spot.

I kinda like it. When you get a flu shot or a shot in general from the doc you stress a tad when they say they gotta give you a shot but then you do it and ur like... that's it. I promise it's nothing.
