Problem injecting into Delt tonight!

[sooner45]

I'm doing Prop, rotating sites, glutes, quads, bi's, delts. Well anyway, tonight I was injecting 50mg of Prop in my right delt and about 2/5 of the way through it starts getting harder to inject and the needle gets a mind of its own and starts to slide out of my arm!!! I'm having to physically push and keep the thing in!! While have to fight and inject it in SLOWLY!! Whats the deal???? It didnt really hurt too bad it was just that it started to slide out, and then got harder to inject?? Is that normal??? Did I go too deep?? Not deep enough?? Is it just scar tissue?? I'm using a 5/8 of an inch pin. This is my 2nd or 3rd time to hit the delts and usually no problem but for some reason I had trouble, has this ever happened to you bro's???

Could be a few things...

I inject delts all the time, sounds like you were probably injecting into scar tissue...
Has happened to me and the pressure sometimes pushes the pin back out if you're
not deep enuf... I would use a 1" pin and go all the way in... Also it could be from
you flexing your delt while injecting, sometimes I do it and don't even realize it at
first...

Had the exact same thing happen to me today with my prop injection.

I think the short pin is the to blame. I was getting scar tissue on my quads because its the only place I like to shoot at, and getpinz sent me 1/2 of my pins as 5/8 needles so I notice shooting not deep enough seems to make more scar tissue... but if I get longer 1 inchers and push past the scar tissue, all goes well. Gotta watch it...if it comes out enough where you shoot between skin and muscle and not in muscle you get a great big knot and lots so swelling in the area that lasts a week!

What guage are you using?

[sepjuice]

take a really hot shower before your injections bro it softens your skin up, and its easy to inject.its worth a try.

What guage are you using?

25 Gauge 5/8 of an inch. I have some 23 gauge 1 inch that I use for quads also.

Use 25ga 1'' for everything but glutes, you should use 1.5 there

Even Bi's??? Is that just to make sure it gets deep enough in the muscle??? Would a 1 inch be too deep for delts and bi's???

[cpt steele]

Yeah even bis tris you may want to go a little more shallow, I have never done tri. I have put 1.5 in my delts 1 is fine

Have you tried 1 inch in your bi's???
