Why inject any other place than the glutes? I've never read any distinct reason other than "a good pump". That's fine, but is that the only reason. I'm all for doing the quads and delts, but before I do this I would like to know the benefits. Thanks in advance! Hookitup! | ||

The glutes are best, but let's say you've got more than 4cc to shoot. I prefer to do only 2cc to 4cc at the most a site. Some people either have trouble reaching the glutes or can only use their predominant hand. It's all personal preference, bro. | ||

Main advantage of the glutes is that it is a large muscle group, so the chances of hitting a vein or a nerve are less than smaller muscle groups. If you're only doing a shot or two a week, you can do glutes only and it's fine. If you're taking a shot every day, you want to use more injection sites. Some guys prefer quads and delts because they say it's too hard to reach their own ass, but if you stretch regularly and have even moderate flexibility, this shouldn't be a problem. Some say you can induce better growth at the injection site, but I don't think this is true. ------------------ | ||

I myself never shoot in the glutes. For me it is the ease of a quad injection that makes me wonder why anyone would shoot in the glute. It's in front of you, you have full vision, two hands to work with, and total control. You can keep the pin absolutely still to reduce micro trauma and scaring, and for me it's painless. I find glute shots to be a pain in the ass. ------------------ | ||

Using sites other than the glutes is a matter of (1) personal preference, like Beezers says, and (2) frequency of shooting. If you're shooting very often, you could develop a sterile abscess (an unassimilated pool of sterile oil - your sust, in other words, sittin' there and doing bupkes) unless you rotate the sites. Some guys use delts, though I've known a couple who have had problems with that site. Better to stick with glutes and quads, IMO. Bjaarki ------------------ BECOME SOMEONE'S HERO! | ||
