How to Inject Testosterone? | Self Administrating Testosterone

If you’re ready to start the anabolic steroids route, you must be ready to inject testosterone and other hormones. In case you’re ready to self inject testosterone but you don’t know where to start – we would help you. If you’re afraid of needles you may want to ask someone to do it for you. Nevertheless, I can tell you with certitude that there’s absolutely nothing to be worried about. Take a deep breath and relax. Most of us were anxious during the first self administration of an intramuscular injection. That’s normal.

But for those who use steroids for a long time now, that’s nothing more than just routine. Self-injection only sounds crippling, but you can actually do it really easily, and painlessly, without any effort.

What Do You Need?

Make sure you have everything prepared before you start performing self-injection. You wouldn’t want to be in the middle of the process and realize you forgot something. Here’s what you need:

Your Testosterone (or whatever other injectable anabolic steroid you want to inject).
Syringes –1-2 mL (cc) are enough, especially for beginners.
One thicker needle for drawing the medication. 18-21 gauge.
A thinner needle (1-1.5 inches) for injecting the medication. 22 or most common 23 gauge.
Alcohol pads. They are important for sterilizing the skin and lid of medication.
Cotton balls to apply over the injection site after injecting.
Band-aids in case you’re bleeding.
A sharp container where you can dispose of needles safely.

Amount, Dosage, and Frequency of Testosterone

If you are unaware of the dosage or/and frequency of testosterone injections I would highly recommend you to fill up a free cycle advice form. Our professional bodybuilders would greatly help you with that.

The amount of testosterone you need to run depends on 2 factors: concentration of testosterone (it usually varies from 100 mg per ml (cc) up to about 500 mg per ml) and obviously the dosage you need.

Testosterone dosage greatly varies from one person to another depending on various factors. Some people run 100 mg/week of testosterone, others use 1000 mg/week.

At the same time, the frequency of testosterone greatly depends on various factors too. Mostly – on testosterone ester that you plan to use. Some people run testosterone injections multiple times a day (esterless testosterone), while others self-inject it only once a week or even less frequently (Testosterone Cypionate or Sustanon for TRT purposes).

Best Testosterone Injection Sites

When talking about intramuscular injections, there are 3 different places that people consider to be “the best” testosterone injection sites.

First and perhaps most popular (especially for beginners) is your thighs – the quadriceps muscles. You have very easy access and it’s a large muscle.
Second popular injection site is the buttocks – glutes muscles. They are large muscles without high risks of hitting a vein or a blood vessel. But they are not as easy to reach.
Third popular injection site is your shoulders – the deltoids muscles. They are easy to reach, however, they are not big muscles as the other 2 earlier mentioned.

Preparing For Injection

So, if you’re ready to inject, start by preparing the injection first. Everything needs to be ready. First and foremost – relax. You need to relax your muscles because the sorer they are – the more likely you are to get pain. That’s why I recommend doing it after a hot shower (so your muscles are maximum relaxed).

Wash your hands carefully for at least 20 seconds with antibacterial soap and water. It’s very important to remember to clean everything involved in the process of injecting. You’ll want to reduce the risk of contamination and infection.
Heat up the medication a little bit. Be sure that it’s at least at room temperature. This is a common trick that’s actually really helpful in reducing PIP (Post Injection Pains). You can warm it by holding it under your armpit or keeping it under warm water for a minute or two.
Clean the top of the bottle (the lid) with an alcohol swab. Make sure it completely dries. By not doing so, you greatly increase the risks of infection. By not waiting for it to dry, alcohol on the needle can cause pain when you inject.
Unseal the syringe and the needle. Make sure they are sterile and never-before-used. In case your syringe comes with a thinner needle than 21 g, switch it to a thicker one. Or add an 18-21 gauge needle if it comes without a needle pre-attached.
Draw the plunger back to fill your syringe with air. Draw the same amount of air as the amount of testosterone that you plan to inject. If you’re unsure about the amount – please contact us. For example, if your testosterone comes as 200 mg/ml (cc) and you need 100 mg per shot, then you’ll need to draw and inject 0.5 ml of solution.
Keep your testosterone bottle on an even surface, inject the needle through the pre-cleaned and dry lid into the medication and press the plunger to make the air from the syringe go into the bottle. By doing so, you’re aspirating the bottle and increasing the pressure inside. This way, it would be much easier for you to draw the solution out of the vial. That’s often a problem with testosterone because it’s a thick oily solution.
While holding the syringe (with the needle inside the medication) with one hand and the bottle with the other hand – turn them upside down. This way, your syringe is already pointing up. Make sure that the tip of the needle is within the liquid so you can draw it out.
Pull back the plunger to draw the medication but make sure not to draw air inside. Pull it back until it’s on the line of the amount you plan to use.
Remove the needle from the vial. Recap it back and immediately dispose of it in the sharps container. Attach the injecting needle (thinner needle) to the syringe.
While holding the syringe pointing up, tap the barrel with your finger in order to move all air bubbles to the top of the syringe. Make sure there are no air bubbles left inside because injecting those air bubbles might lead to a serious health condition.
Slowly press the plunger and force out all the air that is at the top of the syringe. Continue pressing until you notice a tiny drop of the solution coming out of the needle. It means there are no more air bubbles inside so you’re ready to inject.

Performing Self-Injection Intramuscularly

So, you’re all set to perform your testosterone shot. First thing – clean the skin at the injection site with the alcohol pad. Once again, make sure it dries out completely. Injecting alcohol (residue) is going to cause pain.
Hold the needle at 90 degree angle above the injection site. Hold the syringe like a dart. As mentioned, most commonly among beginners are thighs muscles. Make sure that you’re injecting at 90 degree. If not, you’re not going to fully penetrate. Additionally, if you’re over 150 lbs (70 kg) it would be a better idea to use a 1.5” needle to make sure it reaches the muscles. Although 1” is still enough unless you’re over 260 lbs (118 kg). If you’re less than 130 lbs (60 kg) then go for a 1” needle.
Spread the skin with your non dominant hand to make the injection enter the skin easier. Without too much aggression, gently but quickly plunge the needle into your skin with one move. While piercing, hold it like a dart, and keep your fingers off the plunger. Make sure the needle fully gets it.
Don’t rush injecting. You actually need to pull back on the plunger a little bit to see if you’re not drawing any blood in the syringe. If you do, it means that you hit a vein so you shouldn’t inject. Remove the needle (apply cotton if bleeding) and try again at a different injection site. I would recommend switching to another needle.
You’re ready to inject (depress the plunger) if you don’t see any blood. Slowly push the plunger at a controlled pace. You’ve got to inject 1 mL (cc) no faster than 20-30 seconds. The faster you do it – the more likely you are to experience pain. Experiencing some tingling is normal.
After you fully inject everything from the barrel, remove the needle at the exact same angle it was inserted. Apply some pressure around the injection site with an alcohol swab or cotton ball. This would prevent the needle from pulling the skin and causing pains. Apply band-aid if bleeding. Dispose of the used needle in the sharps container. Never use the same needle or syringe twice.
Congratulations on performing your very first injection.

Tips for Reducing Pains (Post Injection Pains) – PIPs

Relax the muscles you’re about to inject into. Don’t inject if they are sore (from another injection, training, etc.). Best to do it after a hot shower.
Heat up the medication a little bit. Make sure it reaches room temperature or is slightly warmer.
Break through the skin quickly while spreading the skin around.
Remove the needle at the same angle you inserted it.
Slowly insert the medication. About 30 seconds per 1 mL (cc).
Massage the area both before and after injection.
Might try to apply ice at the injection site after injection.
Always rotate the injection sites – never use the same spot multiple times in a row.
Usually, the shorter your testosterone ester – the more likely it to be painful. That’s why I would recommend Testosterone Enanthate or Testosterone Cypionate.
Usually, the higher the concentration – the more likely it is to be painful. Therefore, I would recommend sticking to a 200-300 mg/mL concentration.
Additionally, the more you use – the more likely it is to be painful. So, it’s a good idea to use 0.5-1 mL for your first shot. But I wouldn’t recommend more than 2 mL.
Virgin muscles are more likely to experience pain.
