Does anyone have a good picture or diagram that a retarded person like myself can understand of a self administered ventroglute injection? All the pics I've found show it as being on the side of the hip, practically over the hip bone which doesn't seem right to me. Wouldn't you be able to do it like just below your pants waistline on the front of your leg? A video would be nice too if possible. All the ones I found on youtube are administered by another person with the patient laying on a table.

And not a self video, but gives a good understanding on proper positioning:

I would have linked them as videos, but 'ology has a fit if you try to display more than one video at a time. :p

Thanks Halfy. I'll take a peak when I get home since youtube doesn't work here today.
 
I didn't believe that pic when I first saw it either.

It's legit.

Feel around the area as you flex your quads and your glutes (individualy). There is a muscle there.

You'll realize that spot is not the top of the quad or ass.

I punched a very visible vein the first time which was my fault.

The second time was as painless and vvery little pip for a virgin muscle.
 
I've had the same question about finding the spot for injecting into your ventroglute. I've decided to just have my doc or nurse show me where it is the next time I go in for a visit.
 
If you plant your feet, rotate your hips, and feel the muscle working just below the hip bone, that's the Ventro glute. It's an incredible site that can hold almost 5 mls! (Or so i've heard. Only ever did 3 there.)

I've looked at that pic before, still looks a little low to me, looks about even with the pubic bone. I tend to go a little higher. If you look at the drawing DD55 posted, it's definitely higher. Also note, more forward than the thigh bone, somewhere between 1 and 2 o'clock (10 and 11:00 in the mirror, lol)
 
I hit it today and it was awesome. Second pin ever. Did my quad yesterday and that has been hell with PIP.

All the diagrams are kinda confusing cause it looks like you're injecting practically into the hip bone. Like has been said if you pop your hip to one side you will see the muscle stick out pretty much in front of your hip. Another good way is to lay down on your side and raise the opposite leg with your hand on your hip, you can feel the muscle contract. Might make it easier for those who aren't pretty lean.

I found this picture which has been the best so far to actually show the muscle itself.

For those that are not familiar with it, here is the ventrogluteal injection description.

You can have a friend find it for you or you can figure it out based on anatomical landmarks. Should be able to feel that muscle easily. If you are doing it yourself, I'd say place your thumb on the front of the ASIS (Anterior Superior Iliac Spine) and your forefinger on the greater trochanter (hip bone - you can feel this if you rotate your foot in and out - it feels like it's "popping" in and out there on your hip), the meaty spot between the base of your index finger and thumb is the ventrogluteal. Imagine making a little finger gun and placing it at your hip like you were going to draw and shoot (your finger gun, not a syringe full of AAS). lol.

You won't be able to place your own hand on your own hip like this pic. This image illustrates someone placing their hand on another person's hip. This pic is just to give you an idea of the spot. Follow my advice above and you should be able to find it on yourself easily.
 
If you've done at least a fair amount of squatting, you should have a nicely developed ventrogluteal muscle that you can easily see
 
Also good to use with the ventrogluteal (or any other IM injection) is the Z-Track.

When injecting, and when possible, make it a Z-Track injection.

Description

To give a Z-track injection, use the non-dominant hand to move and hold the skin and subcutaneous tissue about 1–1.5 in (2.5–3.75 cm) laterally from the injection site. Continue holding the displaced skin and tissue until after the needle is removed. Dart the syringe rapidly into the site at a 90° angle. Aspirate on the syringe to be sure that a blood vessel has not been penetrated. Inject the medication slowly into the muscle. Be sure that the syringe is completely empty, including the air, before withdrawing the syringe. Withdraw the syringe and immediately release the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Here's a pic:

This keeps the blood and whatever liquid you are injecting from seeping out. It keeps the drug in the muscle as well. A lot of times drugs seeping into the subq layer will cause pain.

With AAS, if you can Z-Track it, do it.
 
Still freaks me out. My first and, and only try, I pinned to low. Was met with pain and blood.
One day, I will try again.
