Where Do I Inject?

[01dragonslayer]

Inevitably, one of the first questions many individuals will ask themselves shortly before their 1st injection is “where do I inject?” While there is no right or wrong answer, the most commonly injected muscle among first time users are the Glutes. It is a muscle group that's relatively painless (potentially), does not have any major veins/arteries near the surface, and contains a lower density of nerves. The twisting and turning can be a problem for some, in which case injecting Ventro Glutes is another option. If that is too hard to find for you, try Quads, but there is a slightly larger margin for error in regard to hitting nerve clusters and puncturing large veins. But you should aim to have as many injection sites as possible to avoid building scar tissue.

Basically, any muscle can be injected into, although larger, thicker muscles are typically superior to small, shallow muscle groups. An example of a body part which falls into the latter category would be the forearms. This body part is rarely ever injected into and is a poor choice all the way around, so avoid them. Never inject into the hands, feet, or neck

Glutes (Dorsogluteal)​

When people talk about injecting Glutes, they are referring to injecting into the Gluteus Maximus / Gluteus Medius via dorsogluteal.

Ventro Glutes​

Ventro Glutes is the common term, but in actuality we are injecting into the Gluteus Medius via ventrogluteal.

Start by finding three bony landmarks - the greater trochanter (at your hip joint), the iliac crest (top of your pelvis), and the anterior superior iliac spine (front of your pelvis). Diagram for reference. Now that you've found these markers it's time to find the injection spot. We'll be injecting the gluteus medius. Think of an imaginary line between the iliac crest (IC) and the greater trochanter (GT); now imagine another line intersecting that one from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS). Where those lines meet is your spot.

This spot may feel hard, almost like bone; but as long as you stay in the prescribed spot you will be fine. Here are some techniques to further clarify the injection spot.

• Lay on your side and put your hand on the prescribed area. Now raise your leg like so. You will feel a muscle flex. That is your gluteus medius.
• Stand up and place your hand on the prescribed area. Now shift your weight from one foot to the other. You will feel a muscle tense. This is your gluteus medius.

When you're confident you've found the correct spot begin your injection routine.

Quads (Vastus Lateralis)​

When injecting into the Quads it can be a bit trickier. Never inject into the inner-thighs…only inject into the actual quadriceps muscles themselves, particularly the Vastus Lateralis. The Rectus Femoris can also be injected, but most users will find it more painful and increases the risk of hitting a nerve (causing the muscle to "twitch"). Lastly, the Vastus Medialis (teardrop) can be injected into as well, although it is not a preferred area, especially for a beginner.

Delts (Deltoid)​

When injecting into the delts, all 3 heads are suitable, although the side & rear heads are a bit more comfortable, on average.

Chest (Pecs)​

The diagram below shows the places on your Chest (Pec) where you can inject. In the Photos they just use the upper options. In the video below he uses the lowest option. It is just a preference thing; try them all and see what you like best.
