Good points as well. The arms became a problem for me, so SS had me doing 2 shots in the stomach on rotation and missing 1 shot a week. I'd be sure though and ask SS about going outside of the protocol (just to be on the safe side of course).

I use the stomach as four spots: right and left, above the belly button, right and left, below the belly button. SS will not generally give you permission to go outside the protocol; they will usually tell you to ask your doctor.
