When injecting steroids the first thing you need to know is how to prepare for the injection and there is more to it than you might initially think.There are eight specific steps you need to follow when injecting and while that may sound complicated the whole process shouldn’t take more than a minute. However failure to follow these eight remarkably simple steps can result in complications such as infections or simply very uncomfortable injections or an unnecessarily sore injection site.
Step 1: Choosing a Needle
There are numerous needle sizes available and you need the right one to do the job properly. Large needles are not necessary but you don’t want one too small as the oil will barely push through. Most often a 23g-25g needle will serve your needs and a 1” length will suffice although 1.5” is also available. Some people find ½” needles to be sufficient, but they are only suitable if injecting into a very low body-fat area. Regardless of the needle size you choose, you will always attach a new sterile needle each time you inject.
Step 2: Drawing Air
Although the drawing and emptying of air into the syringe is not essential it does make the process easier. Before you draw any fluid into the syringe, the first step is to draw up, at a minimum, an amount of air that is equal to or exceeds the amount of fluid you intend to draw. Drawing a little more air than needed is absolutely fine and can make the process even easier.
Step 3: Empty the Air
You must then expel the air you have drawn into the syringe by placing the needle into the oil (the steroids you’re using) and pushing all the air in. Then leave the syringe in the fluid and move on to the next step.
Step 4: Draw the Oil
Now all you have to do is simply pull the plunger of the syringe back until the desired amount of fluid is obtained. Drawing a small amount more than you need is preferable as you might lose some when you move on to Step 5. In some cases many people prefer to use a “Draw Needle” for this purpose, which means using a larger needle to draw up the fluid and a smaller one to inject. In this instance, you will use a 20g-21g needle to draw your oil into the syringe as it is much easier and faster. If you choose this method, you will follow steps 2 and 3 with your draw needle. After Step 4 you then replace the draw needle with the injection needle you chose in step 1.
Step 5: Remove Air Bubbles
Now the oil is in the syringe, you push the plunger down gently while tapping your finger against the side of the syringe to remove all air bubbles. This will cause a little bit of oil to shoot out of the needle, but that’s why you drew up a little extra. At this point make sure that there is the correct amount of fluid in the syringe.
Step 6: Disinfecting
Determine which muscle you’re going to inject and the specific location. Use an alcohol swab or alcohol on a cotton ball to disinfect the area. Although alcohol swabs are preferable, the cotton ball method is adequate.
Step 7: Plunge the Needle & Aspirate
Once the area is disinfected, plunge the needle in the muscle but do not inject yet. When the needle is firmly in place, pull the syringe back slightly; this is what is known as Aspirating. When you aspirate, if blood fills the syringe it means you have hit a vein or a blood vessel and you should remove the needle and pick a new location Injecting into a vein or blood vessel means you could fall prey to what is known as, “Tren Cough.” Trenbolone is the most notorious anabolic steroid for causing this, but it can happen even withTestosterone. Tren Cough means that some of the steroid gets into the lungs, and causes a violent cough that can be quite frightening and painful. Your mouth will taste like metal, and some say their teeth even hurt. Don’t let the possibility of Tren Cough scare you; if you aspirate and follow our recommendations you’ll be fine.
Step 8: If you have followed steps 1-7 and no blood entered the syringe during step 7, you are ready to inject your steroid(s). Simply push the plunger down until all the syringe is empty.
