Quadricep injection

[Raillife]

All feedback is good guys/gals. I'm a bigger dude so a little hard to get anything past ventro. I'm also sure ill hit bone wich seems a bit ridiculous but I'm sure of it lol I like the quad because I can see and control it in a comfortable position. Still waiting on goods now, I'm getting a little pissed but probably a good thing gives more time for more homework per say

As you can see by reading all the replies, everyone has their own idea on where to pin. Just like anything else everyone is different and what area may work for some may not be good for others. Trial and error and you'll soon find what areas work best for you. Myself I rotate areas to minimize scar tissue build up. I would also recommend using a 1" x 25ga in the quads, again the smaller the gauge the less scar tissue. 23 gauges look like cannons to me now since I have been using 25s for the longest. The thing about quads that I like is it is an easy spot to hit without twisting or being in an awkward position. So makes for an easy inject.

I Think I hit a vein.. Went in a bit over an inch aspirated, good tension on plunger and a little air bubble but no blood. Did my inject and pulled out, got a good spurt of blood and a few good drops after I wiped. Bleed stopped after a few seconds. Should I worry? Like I said no blood on aspiration just good tension and a little air bubble

That's normal. You likely went through a vein

It happens. You would know within a few minutes if you were in trouble. Quad injections are very safe due to the fact that you can stabilize the syringe with one hand while operating the plunger with the other hand. As long as you aspirate, the needle should stay put and you are safe.

Maybe I was wrong in assuming everyone here knows about ventrogluteal? This is the area I meant when I said, "glutes"...

Once every blue moon I'll hit the VG myself. Just to add my own experience, when hitting Ventro Glute yourself... I find it MUCH easier to hold the needle still and reach the site if I sit down to do it. But for the most part the only sites I will hit myself are quads and pecs, sometimes bi's and rarely VG. NEVER deltoids. I get oil in my bloodstream every time I hit delts.

And now days the standard injection site on small children is the Vastus Lateralus... at least here. In adults VG is absolutely the go to spot for anything 2ccs or more... unless it's a combative psych patient. Then it's Haldol and Ativan (or Versed) in the quads. I've hit the bone on a skinny psych pt when someone handed me a syringe with a 1.5" on it... he survived.

I'm still alive. Lol wasn't the sight of blood that had me worried it was in the nature of what I was doing. No bruising just a little sore. Thanks again everyone for all the knowledge you bring me

I actually prefer to shoot quads. I use to just shoot delts but I hardly mess with anything but quads anymore.

I see a lot of people using just quads or just ventro etc. How exactly can you run a blast using so few injection sites? Let's say 500 test and 500 eq just for an example. Assuming each is 250 mg/ml this is 4 mls per week. Are we saying that you would pin 2mls in each quad every week for 20 weeks?

Quads are a big muscle group with a lot of real estate to poke around on. If I need to ill hit quads, tris, glutes, delts but usually quads are big enough to handle what I need.

You're gonna get a squirter now n then. Sometimes you knick a vein or capillary on the way out. Wait til you hit a nerve and your muscles start dancing! LOL just man up and continue through

I think everyone is a lil hesitant their 1st time putting anything oral or pinned in their body, it's the unknown factor. You'll get used to it, just dont stop researching , reading and posting up here asking questions. Only dumb question is the one you didnt ask .
