Few questions about injections...

[minimal]

Hey guys,

So, I'm pretty close to starting my first cycle soon and I had some questions about injections. Here they are...

I plan on using my quads and delts for injections. How long do you have to wait before you pin the same site again?

When injecting, how slowly should I press the plunger? Maybe take about 30 seconds to inject 1ml or is it too long?

Once the test vial cap is off, how should I recap or reseal the vial when I store it?

Lastly, on quads, can you use two sites on the (outer portion and inner portion) as two different sites on one quad? or should I just consider each quad as one site?

After you flip off the cap, just leave it as is. When you are ready to draw from it again, be sure to swab the rubber with some alcohol first, let it dry, and draw. Time doesn't matter really...I'd rather use a thicker pin and go in and out as fast as I can. I believe the longer you leave the pin in your muscle, the more prone you will be to scarring tissue. IMHO.

is it ok to inject prop in the glutes with a 22 gauge 1.5 inch?

Sure is. 22g or 23g will work fine. I'd rather use a 22g on the glutes because it's hard to keep my body twisted for too long. 22g will clear the barrel quicker than a 23 will, obviously.

I been using 22 and 23g for about the last 6 months. Tried a 25g not long ago and Omg took forever to push in 2ml ha

Also, after flipping off the cap and starting new vial, I store it sealed in a ziplock bag until next use. Plus, swap the top of stopper with an alcohol wipe. These two simple steps have kept me gtg since the beginning of time.

After you pop off the flip top ALWAYS swab it before you put any needle in.

While that septum may have been sanitized I'm positive that flip top wasn't.

I prefer 25g over the larger ones for sure.
