Bicep injects with IGF

Gonna try all bi injections this round with IGF, so should I inject in multiple areas all over both heads of my bi's or just stick to one area like the middle of the peak?

Personally I would move it around but you can do other places beside just biceps.. and I think that is the way to go

probably a dumb question, but do I need to aspirate when injection into muscles?

is there an advantage to injecting IM kontra subq?

From everything I have read one should always aspirate as a matter of practice. As far as IM vs subq everything I have read from those who are extremely knoweldgable seems to indicate that IM is far superior. Couple reasons I recall are that you do get site specific results with IM and that subq an allow more systemic results which can be negative due to the high amount of receptors in the intestinal walls. Beyond that I will defer to the experts.

What about in terms of fatloss? Wouldn't you think subq would be better?

I mostly do IM, however if there is an off day in my routine I will go sub-q , my reasoning is that I think it has a slower, more sustained absorption that way. I also do not rub or "work in" the injections, same as slin. I do contract the muscle a few times, that's it.

Always aspirate, it's the only way to make sure the needle isn't in a blood vessel. If you aspirate and all you get is air, you're golden. If you aspirate and get blood, pull out, change needles, try again.
