** IM Injection INFO **

Hello All,

First off, I have never injected myself with anything. I have been weight training for 8 years and am 24 years old.
I have recently become interested in injectable b-12, 7-0h oral solution, and IGF-1.

There have been many thread explaining how to inject. In particular, the sub-q demo for the insulin injection in the sticky is priceless.

In my searches I have come across a lack of info related to the following questions which I would love some help with.

1. For IM injections, is the 1/2 inch insulin needle sufficient?
2. How do I know if I have successfully been able to get the needle into muscular tissue for an IM injection.
3. Are there any demonstrations online for IM injections?
4. Any other information that could help out? Links etc...

**4. Is there a comprehensive source related to the 'how to's' of IM injection?

Thanks
 
Breath.... j/k

Making it way to hard man. for the .5 inch needles you need to determine if you are a high bodyfat. Most often they will work for all muscle bellies. Glutes might require 1 inch if you are literally a... fat ass.

So you will get your alchohol wipe, wipe the rubber stopper, discard, open new and rub circular outward motions on area of application. Pull plunger back to desired amount, puncture rubber stopper and press air equalizing pressure. Draw same as displaced amount, change needle if using larger gauge to draw or to keep sharp (not sure on this step).

Don't tense.. relax and slowly press into skin and draw back just slightly (aspirate), if in vein you will see blood, if no blood press plunger slowly and stedily. Massage for a couple of minutes and use a sock with rice microwaved for a minute to keep area of application warm/hot (only if injecting sterol oils).

If you like draw with a 20 ga put the cap on unscrew it and replace it with a 23 or 25. If you inject into soft tissue by accident it is no biggie it will work I think it just dissipates slower.

Yep ½" is good for the IGF, unless you are very fat or need to inject your glutes for some reason. :D
