Anyone have pictures on how to do sub q injections

[BLOODSHOT]

I'm sure it is very easy but want to do it right. Does anyone have pictures on how to do sub q injections. My bodyfat is high about 15% righ now so am I injecting in fat or over it. I want to do it properly but have been doing intramuscluar GH injections but want to switch do sub q for site loss fat.

just pinch your skin around your abdominal area and inject. Pretty difficult to screw up a sub-q injection

I have the same question but it's the other way around, what's easiest method for doing intramuscluar injections, using test cyp. and a 23g-1" needle. I got some 18g needles also but they look scary as hell...could use them and the air compressor to pump up basketballs :-)

just woke up here on the other side of the world but will scan some sub q technique shots and post them today when my brain gets working. Otherwise, got to 1/2 Price Books or another book store and buy a used nursing medication book. That would be your best and most long lasting solution. 18 ga..love them to death. Decent sized harpoon that works well for self administred delt IMs. Never any fear of breaking the suckers off. I hate 23 1/2 ga but it is all some of the Pharms here have. Folks here have such little arms. 21s are even a whole lot better.
14 ga IV needles for anticubital IV starts...now you are talking.

I read another post here suggesting spotinjections dot com for a self injection guide, excellent site with the info I was looking for. Neverbig Enuf the nick alone would suggest the 18's as being your weapon of choice :-) ...
