I was impatient this morning and ending up injecting where the first x was near my pant line.Lay on your left side and lift your right leg toward the ceiling, feel the hip area for the muscle that contracts to move the leg. Pin that chunk of meat.
You can clearly see the muscle in your picture. It looks like all the x's are on it.When I lifted the leg where it contracted ( second x from pant line ) it felt more like a tendon or something. Not a muscle.
10/10 would clap.
Smash. next question.
That’s what I thought to when I looked in the mirror trying to find it.You can clearly see the muscle in your picture. It looks like all the x's are on it.
When I lift my leg I feel that whole muscle engage.That’s what I thought to when I looked in the mirror trying to find it.
But when I do that trick and lay on bed and lift leg up like the other guy said. It’s not the same location. The only thing that moves is the second x from pant line
Are you standing or laying down when you do itWhen

Laying down. I can even feel it by laying on my back, lifting my leg up a few inches, then moving it outwardAre you standing or laying down when you do it
I’m use to 23g 1.5 inch I don’t have problems with needles at all or blood or anything.I suppose it is possible to just not have a strong contraction in that muscle since you have never really tried to engage it, and this could be making it hard for you to pinpoint the spot to pin. I cannot recall when I learned this shit or if it was hard so I am speaking from a pretty jaded point of view when I say it is honestly not hard to get the muscle to show up for easy access. Once you nail it one time you will be good to go forever. It does actually fuckin hurt to stab sometimes, I cannot tell you why it happens since I definitely do not have untouched skin there but sometimes it still stings/burns a bit and I just go with it anyway. As long as you do not hit a nerve (You will fucking KNOW) or inject into a vein/artery (RIP) you are good to slam the oil in even if it is an unpleasant pin. This shit is not painless no matter how long you do it or how 'good' you are at it, nobody with a platform talks about the pain of injecting and how even after 5+ years it still hits randomly and fuckin sucks but yeah don't let it discourage you. Aspirate if you are worried about railing it into your bloodstream, go slow into the muscle so you can back out if you stick a nerve, but really just take a breath and go for it. This is just one of those shitty things you will have to endure if you think this is a lifestyle choice you want to keep pursuing.
2nd X from the right is the proper ventroglute location.Is this the correct ventroglute location. Anywhere with the green x
Flex your but and stick your finger to the hardest part on the upper outside, then relax and stick it in my brotherIs this the correct ventroglute location. Anywhere with the green x
Just did. My finger is now brown and gooey. Did I hit the wrong spot ?Flex your but and stick your finger to the hardest part on the upper outside, then relax and stick it in my brother
