Injecting the steroids is the way most steroid users go. As most injectables only have to be taken once or twice a week.There are three major areas where steroids are injected, they are the safest areas of the body to inject. These areas are: the glute, the shoulder, and the thigh. These areas offer a large area where the needle can be injected safely. DO NOT SIMPLY STICK THE NEEDLE INTO YOUR GLUTE AND INJECT THE STEROID. It has to be in a precise location.

The steroid user should also have done countless hours of research on injecting steroids, and anabolic steroids in general before, injecting, or even thinking about taking anabolic steroids. This is purely a guide, and should not be taken as medical advice. Injectable steroids as with all steroids are dangerous and potentially deadly so please remember this before you decide to use them!
