Quad pin went easy but fay after.. OMG

**BeingSwole** · 11-22-2014, 05:06 PM

Pinned in the quad yesterday and it went way smooth especially given that I don't like needles. About 3 hours after pinning I did heavy leg day.

I was happy to have found a place that pinned so well, but 8 hours after my workout my quad was sore like crazy. Was it because I did heavy legs or because a quad pin will cause that kind of soreness? I kind of look like I'm walking with a limp if I get up from sitting down too long.

First time pinning quads?

**jesse4466** · 11-22-2014, 06:10 PM

With quad it may even take 2-3 days before the real pain kicks in.. Then eventually starts going away at the one week mark. Inject slowly, switch legs upon each new injection. Massage leg after injection for a good few minutes..

/Whats the compound and dosage? Is it Pharm grade, UGL or home brew. Pin size?? U can get more accurate feed back with more details.

23g one once 1.25ml, Alpha Pharma Test E. I pinned one inch away from the center to the outer side. Went slow, maybe more than minute.

**Stosh_112** · 11-23-2014, 04:36 PM

I would say its just sore from being virgin muscle. Also, if the E is high concentrate that can add to the soreness. Give 25g pins a try, seems like a small difference but make a big diff.

What was the outcome of this?

I am in the same exact situation. Injected upper outer third Tuesday morning. Injection was smooth and painless. Pain worsened starting last night. Woke up 3 hours early, it is Thursday morning now, and the pain spread and is mostly in middle quad down to knee. Can barely move the mo fo and can't sleep. Feels like a damn Mack truck hit my leg! I can't move anywhere or bend knee without excruciating pain. I

222.5, 6', 34, 13.8% bf, bench 320, squat 435, dead 465.

If you have a foam roller - get on that - it's gonna hurt like hell but I had to do it a few times w/quads(but by the next day I was golden)

Note*** it was very very painful to get that oil to disperse but well worth it

Just started my TRT dose(test e I'm using) that shit hurts worse than prop imo lol

Already tried, and you're right, that shit killed. Will hit it again. Thanks Nach

I get that every once in a while and just pop a couple ibuprofen

**IronClydes** · 05-28-2015, 08:24 AM

Did that 3 hours ago. Then rolled very lightly and briefly....painful. Now about to start leg day! That ought to get it dispersed!

Lol.....it won't though! Tomorrow will most likely be tough for you. I am going through the same thing as we speak and I walk like a pirate sorta. You are just going to have to ride it out . It's not my gear bcuz everything else is smooth. I find the lower I pin on my quads the more like pip will occur (this time around anyway).

**Joco71** · 05-28-2015, 08:41 AM

All of this^^^ is why I stick to pinning just my glutes. I should grow a set and just try the quads an the shoulder once. I'm scared like a little girl.LOL

Don't be......the upper outer sweep seems to be the most friendly and it's nice to not have to twist around looking at your glute. I use 25 ga 1" on everything .

Yup... Quads are are a love it or hate it spot(I love em) on upper outter say 7" down from hip bone(pockets on pants) too low will cause more PIP & nerves in way...

Also very easy to have steady hands...

@Joco delts are very easy... Little room for error

I should order some of those pins a give it a run it seems like pining the quad would be much easier. Doing me left glute is a pain in the arse. I sometimes cramp before the injection is over. I think if I could get past the pip in the quad I would prefer it. I will let you know if and when this go's down. LOL

No issues with getting into the muscle or the oil moving down your leg?

Nice... Yeah I think I'm low enough(my legs are leaning out too so I did get a pack of the 5/8 spikes so it should be g2g

I even use 5/8 in my glutes besides quads and never have an issue.

**diragz** · 05-29-2015, 01:45 AM

If its a virgin muscle you're gonna get PIP no matter the muscle i noticed.

Ive been told that 23g is best to avoid pip
i rest my syringe of oil on a heat pack for a minute to warm the oil (allows it to disperse easier once injected)
slow pin 30-45s per ml
Quick massage after and then train.

according to the lady at the needle exchange place 25" has a greater risk of absess.

First time or not quad for some are unbearable..

I pinned several.times and it never felt OK afterward...

Some I know lives it and t is painless.
Good for them.

Give it a few more try but it might never be painless so find somewhere else.
