Alright, you’ve got your bottle(s) of injectable steroid and your needles, and it’s time for that first shot. Assuming you’ve spent some time psyching yourself up for this moment, I get it—I did the same. Back in the day, the Underground Steroid Handbook recommended glute shots “high and to the side,” and that advice still holds. But, let me break it down visually for you.
Grab a porn mag (seriously!) and find a picture of someone facing away from you. Draw a line down one cheek, vertically (avoiding the sciatic nerve), and then draw a horizontal line across the middle. Aim for the upper/outer part of the segmented area when injecting your glute.
Feeling nervous? Practice holding the needle like a dart and plunging it into an orange. The skin of an orange simulates human skin, making it a helpful practice tool. Here’s a step-by-step for a glute shot:
Sterilize the injection area (you can use an alcohol pad or shower with antibacterial soap).
If using a multi-use vial, clean the top with an alcohol swab; crack open an amp if that’s your game.
Choose the right gauge needle based on your substance.
Pull air into the needle and inject it into the vial for easier drawing.
Draw the solution into the syringe.
Tap out air bubbles.
Now, you’re ready to inject. Stretch the skin, aim, and dart it in.
Check for blood in the syringe; if found, you’re in the wrong spot.
Inject the solution and band-aid up.
If you’re injecting elsewhere, aim for center mass and avoid veins. The basics remain the same. Avoid injecting more than 3ml at a time.
And just a tip: If your steroid oil is thick, warm the syringe under hot tap water for smoother flow.
Remember, rotate injection sites to prevent excessive scar tissue. Happy injecting!
