IT Band

[Ricko181]

Hi. I am injecting testosterone into my quad and i have a question. What is first? Muscle or IT Band? Do i need to go through the IT Band in order to get into the muscle or is the muscle first and if i put a needle too far then it reaches IT Band? I am asking because i am worried that if you put a needle too far you will reach IT Band or tendon or anything that is not a muscle. I am using 23G (0,6x30mm) and i am pushing a needle all the way. Thanks.

You will not reach your IT band. I am lean and use a 25 gauge for quads and have zero issues. Look at spot injections website if you have concerns where you should inject.

You got it...if your lean just use a slin pin and take all the hassle out of it. But otherwise...I use to use a 23g X 1 inch and that was just fine being lean and having skinny legs at the time....props on being extra careful but sounds like you've got the correct method down

Yeah, i am not fat myself. I was also wondering if you could inject a needle too far and miss the muscle and hit fascia, tendon or something like that. Should I worry about that? Thanks for feedback, man.

I really dont think so - I've never heard of such a thing. Plenty of guys use the old 23g X 1.5 inch for glute and quad pokes alike. you'll be fine with size you are using.

Edit: stick to the spot your showing or listed on the spotinjections site. Cant vouch for the other areas of quads...cant imagine how guys go from the top for example - quad sticks are crappy enough! Look up ventroglute if you want a super easy place to poke
