Did I get this ventroglutes shot right? First time in the area

[icommandyoutogrowbros]

So I’m taking a TRT dose of testosterone Cyp and only injecting about 0.4/0.5ml a week.

last time (first shot) I was terrified and decided to go subQ in the belly because I have a decent amount of fat there. It didn’t hurt going in but afterwards got a lot of pip and it swelled up a tiny bit and was uncomfortable when touched. It also bled a few drops and some gear came Back out so a bit of wastage.

so today I tried the ventroglutes because a lot of people say they have no major blood vessels or nerves and are safe. I tried for ages to feel the right place. Ended up standing and shifting my weight onto the foot and felt for a little muscular lump, also raised my leg to try and isolate the muscle. After I got the place I injected 90degrees and it went in like butter. No pain couldn’t even feel it.

I am using 29g 0.5inch BD insulin syringes. Draw and inject with the same.

problem is because I couldn’t feel it don’t know if I got it in the muscle. I didn’t aspirate after reading that is old advice and not needed in certain sites. Whilst injecting it bled a bit towards the end but I kept injecting and when I took it out stopped the bleeding with a tissue.

now I can’t feel it at all unlike when I did the belly shot. Did any test get wasted with the bleeding?

and how do I know if it got to the muscle or was in the fat? Do you think it made it to shallow IM at least?

No your pointing at the wrong area .. you can see the vg pop out when u flex your ass cheek . Stand side ways in front of a mirror and flex your ass u will see it pop out. You want to pin it right in the middle of that muscle that pops out. At first your gonna think your hitting the hip bone , your not. When U inject the vg stand firmly on the leg that’s not being injected into and loosen up the one that is taking the poke . Meaning don’t put a lot of weight on it. It pops out on the side of your ass not far from the hip bone

The first pic you took slide your thumb closer to your ass but in a straight line , that’s the vg. It’s hard to describe it . Like I said try standing in front of the mirror sideways and flex your ass cheek

I always used a 25x 1 needle . It’s a painless spot to inject into and it takes 3 cc easily

Ventrogluteal Injection for DUMMIES!

I know these are just diagram after diagram, but never mind all the crazy names nonsense that each specific part has.....that's where it gets intimidating!!! (See pics in post #2) If pinning left vent, I lean opposite (R)hip/cheek against sink, practically sitting on it, cross left leg over...

My boy Popeye made this years ago . You can really see it good on him when he flexed his ass cheek . That’s the spot u want

Thanks man I will check all this out and listen to your advice. Seems like it is something you will get used to feeling out and realising when you hit it correctly

where do you think I pinned today just normal glutes or hip maybe, probably why it bled since I heard the actual VG has very few blood vessels. Next time with all this info will definitely get the right spot appreciate the help

No prob , ya looks like the upper quad u got

This is the area that I hit, it's that muscle that pops out as @Bro Bundy explained

Ah that’s not too bad people pin there anyway I guess, surprised it didn’t hurt after all the quad horror stories but VG seems a lot better, definitely listening to your advice next time to aim properly

Thank you good visualisation there, I’ll use his advice to try get the muscle to pop out, should work next time

My gf calls it my "sassy hip pose" when I stick my hip out to get it to pop.

Like Bundy said, put your weight on one leg and clench your ass cheeks. Your VG will be just below and posterior of your iliac crest(top of your hip bone)
