Why does it matter if it's changed up every shot? If it's not injected into the exact same spot, but beside it, would that still cause scar tissue or whatever the reason is?
Does injecting into a specific muscle cause that to grow more than the others or are the ingredients still spread throughout the body evenly?
Sorry for the post.. I know this is probably common knowledge to most people on here by now, but it's something I've been wondering... was curious if it's possible to just inject into the buttocks only without complications.

Ok, thanks. So is it ok to rotate between left & right glutes and thighs? I'd rather not inject in the shoulders or biceps or triceps... legs and butt seem like the best place. But if not, please inform me otherwise.. want to make sure I've got ALL bases covered before my 1st. :)

I guess if I'm going to get pain anywhere, better it be somewhere that doesn't hinder my sitting or walking abilities... :D
Now that you mention the needle gauge.. what is recommended for a typical test e 250mg 2x week cycle?
I used 25gauge and it pretty painless, remember to get extra pins for drawing and pinning... . If you are just taking 250mg Test 2x week then its alright just to rotate between your thighs and glutes. You should add more muscles to the rotation later on when your using more oils or theres chances of developing abcess or hitting scar tissue when you pin, which hurts like a bitch.

Extra pins, how about the bodies? Can I use the same one and just replace the pins each time or should I get enough for every injection?
Oh, and needle length.. that should be 1.5", right?

Dam sure that you do not use the same barrel for an injection that you will do in a week or so.New Barrels and pins are inexpensive and trouble free, getting a abcess or worse is not in the equation, your health is more important than using a used barrel, not sure how much they are, i get them free :-).
Draw from the vial with a 18 g 1 1/2 inch or 2 inch if you can find them if you have a ampule or you can go smaller if it is in a 10ml vial. Draw out neccessary fluid for injection, then open package in install a 25 guage pin,always make dam sure that nothing touchs the end of the barrel that is exposed when you are putting on the injection needle other then the new needle, length varies on where your are injecting, quads 1 1/2 or 2 i have went with, delts i have used 5/8 or 1 inch, traps, bis and tris i have used slin pins yet that is a biatch to draw from a vial, it takes time yet it will finally draw in.And always always use NEW alcohol swabs when u are cleaning the top of the vial and the site that you are injecting into and when you wipe after the injection, sometimes that burns yet suck it up it will fade.
I always rotate my site injection spots like others have mentioned, scar tissue will build up over time if you inject in or near the same area and it hurts like a bitch trying to get through the scar tissue, some spots i had i almost had to hold the needle steady and tap it with my hand to get it in j/k.
Just think of it this way, if you get a cut and that cut gets a scab and you pick at it every single day, that cut will never never heal.
Forgot to mention that when i dieted down for a show my trainer and i have used a small slin pin filled with test to perk up a few smaller lagging muscle groups as in a few muscle heads in the back or chest or tricep or quad muscle heads.
Just my 2 cents

there should be a stickie for this stuff as its basic and should be known before ever starting a cycle
do you put the needle in all the way?

I read it's better to leave a bit of the needle sticking out in case it breaks, you'll have something to grab onto to pull out.

I leave bout 2 mm sticking out. Like kloan mentioned above me, you may have defective needle, who knows. But you want something to grab onto if you gotta pull it out.
