so i just got hold of my gear for my first cycle and after a couple of weeks of research i attemped to inject into my glute for the first time.
the problem i found was that i wasn't sure if the needle had entered far enough. the needle i used was a 23g 1inch, i wouldn't say i have much fat and chose a point of injection fairly high.
the problem i had was that when i inserted in needle it was almost completely painless, i was expecting there to be some sort of pain even if it wasn't much i still expected it, but nothing. so i went ahead and drew back a little on the syringe to check i hadn't hit a blood vessle and all seemed fine. but now i was stuck, i knew i hadn't hit anything bad but i still wasn't sure the needle has penetrated the muscle, i mean, driving a needle into one of your muscles must surely hurt even if only a little right?
at this point i was convinced things weren't right so i withdrew the needle and didn't go ahead with the shot. i was worried that i might just be injecting into fat, so instead of trying again i thought i'd get some help first.
i guess what i would like to know is when do you know you've entered far enough into the muscle and should it hurt a little or is it pretty much painless?
any info would be great.
