What are the major risks with intramuscular injections and how to avoid them ?

[AJAC]

Small amounts of oil solutions (like 1 or 2cc) can be really dangerous ? If air or oil go inside a vein, can we really die ?
Aspiration before injection is the key but exist a spot with less risks to find veins ? I know i'm a little paranoid ^^

I am guessing you are about to do your first cycle lol. Stick with glues as an injection site. It is the easiest site to inject into and pretty much impossible to screw up. Alternate butt cheeks each week.

Inject into the outer upper quadrant of the glute. There are no veins in that area that you can possible inject into.

No it's not my first cycle but with age i'm becoming more fearful ^^

Glutes are the easiest spot.

Glutes are definitely a very dummy proof area for injections, and it is really hard to mess up there. I think that the dangers of the injections are greatly overplayed, and you really need to fuck up if you were to get any health problems from an injection.

I never had any problems by injecting steroids (always inject into quads) but at the time i didn't know all the risks, since i read that a bad injection can kill you i'm afraid each time i have to inject lol and now i want to minimize these possible risks.

you would have to inject 10CC's of air into a vein to kill you

in other words its impossible.. I've never heard of someone dying from an injection in that matter.. you can hit a vein and bleed a lot, or perhaps faint from the injection and fall and crack your head open.. or something crazy like that I suppose.

no idea how you guys find glutes comfortable as twisting and staying relaxed does not come easy for me.
Quad pins are by far much easier. You can sit down, relax and actually see what you're doing. When you do the glute with your non dominant hand, it's also tricky when you go by the mirror as the directions are reversed and I just suck at it.

Quad shot, try it!

Or even pec shot, super easy, but most are too chicken shit for that one, yet it's super easy.
