Anyone inject in the glutes?

I was thinking of adding glutes and dropping quads from injection site rotation. Currently rotate between quads, deltoids, and VG, shallow IM. I'm finding that I tend to get injection site soreness for a few days when injecting in the quads. Anyone self inject in the glutes? If so do, how do you reach around?

Injecting 4 ml of Nebido, you have to inject in the glutes. (I suppose you could do 4 1 ml injections at one time.)

It's not easy, I use a mirror and mark the spot to inject. Because it's a little difficult to tell where you are injecting using a mirror.

The only blessing it's only once every 3 months.

If I had to inject weekly or more often using a small amount of Test and a tiny needle, I would use VG, quads, subQ. I used to inject HCG in the abs, it's pretty easy. I am not sure, can't you use abs if you are doing subQ test?
 
I don't, I haven't found a comfortable way to do the reach around. But then there's little reason to move around so much as you wrote, you can overthink this rotation business.
 
Started by doing quads but now swapped to glutes, much better. It is awkward to reach around, sometimes I'll ask the Mrs to circle the injection area with a marker, it definitely makes it easier. There's less inflammation after for me in glutes.

You could get a tattoo to mark the correct area. :)

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
