I seem to struggle injecting anything that requires a left hand injection (because I am right handed). This is why my thigh is my favorite injection site. I can hit the right or left leg with my right hand.

Do you guys have any problems injecting with your none dominant hand?

Any tips would be appreciated.

I agree CR...I love VG's. They can take 3cc's easily. I just need my wife to inject my left side. When I use my off hand needles moves around like crazy and I find it harder to push in the plunger....

Seated is best. Arm chair is even better for leverage to twist and hold yourself still while pinning.

I used to have the same problem. A left handed pin would hurt for days. It gets easier, holding the door jam or leaning against the wall really helped me.

I prefer ventrogluteal injections. I twist my torso, put both of my index fingers under the flange on the barrel, and use both thumbs to depress the plunger. I use both hands to inject my quads if I'm doing frequent shots too.

As usual guys, awesome advice. I've been doing it for 3 years you f'ng think I'd have a solution by now. I do right and left thighs, right VG, and left delt. Then I have my wife do both glutes, and left VG.

I not quite clear on how standing up against the door jam or wall would help. Are you saying that you use the door jam or wall to help push down the plunger?

Sparticus, I have no problem with it. I use a 23 gauge 1 inch and I've gotten so used to it that it's my favorite spot now. What I love the most about it is that the tricep keeps a nice swole pump after. No pain, no pip, I keep it at a 2cc minimum per tri and the constant pump feels pretty good.

No more than 2cc is what I meant.

Lefty can be a bit if a challenge. I lay on my couch to pin. It takes me a bit longer to pin lefty but I can get it done.

My first time on the triceps went a lot smoother than I thought. It would. The lateral head, it's all muscle there.
