Having trouble pushing plunger

[gains4life]

When I get ready to shoot I have a really hard time pushing the plunger down. Any tips or tricks to make the process smoother?

use less gear and check your needle gauge

Warm up the liquid prior to injecting.

All three of the above tips.

You are probably using too large of a gauge needle tip. It's extremely hard to push oil through a needle tip larger then a 25 gauge

Also make sure you have the needle in at the 90 degree angle to the skin.

When im doing my glute injection I have to use a mirror and if pin and then as im aspirating and going to push the plunger in if I start to angle the syringe away from 90 degrees to the skin its extremely tough to push the plunger down.

+ all the above tips. Warm the oil up, warm the skin up, and I always use a 22-23 gauge pin to make injection easier/faster. I tried using 25 gauge and it was just a slower process which some dont mind but when dosing glutes I have a hard enough time getting the right angle, aspirating, then dosing so I want to get it done as quickly as possible (within reason) which is whhy I opt for the 22-23 gauge.

Just my opinion.

I would recommend heating it up before hand.

Quite true. The only thing I use a 25 guage needle to inject is Primo'.

23-25g is what you want. I use a 23g to pin and it goes in pretty quick.
