Flexin' When Injectin'? lol

**_Tiger_** · 08-01-2005, 03:45 AM

Ok, so i checked this site out: http://www.spotinjections.com/index3.htm

In some of the pics, the guy is actually flexing his muscles while injecting. Just htinking about it makes me cringe, I was wondering if any of you guys prefer to flex or not to, and why?

Huh? Flexing the muscle you're injecting doesn't work bro. Might as well get a towel to bite down on and a hammer to drive it in. LOL.

Wait, was this a joke?

**_Tiger_** · 08-01-2005, 04:29 AM

no for real, look at that site, he flexes his calf, his traps...etc. I've just never seen that before

**Blackfoot PT** · 08-01-2005, 04:41 AM

damn bro. that has to be for the pics only. otherwise, I can't imagine how painful that would be. Do you flex? I've tensed up once and wooow was it a mistake. lol.

Noo I haven't either, I just cringe at the thought....anyone else wanna throw in their 2 cents about this?

A buddy of mine flexed while he was injecting into his quad...When he took the needle out of his quad, it was bent...Not a good idea to flex while injecting..

I think the pics are just trying to bring out the muscle by flexing. So you know where to inject in each muscle area.

I will do it whenever I hit my biceps, but nowhere else.

A very relaxed flex, jab, shoot, and pull out will create a better "Z" (Z-track method) that won't release any gear when unflexed. Also, I have little to no scar tissue in the bi's because of this. You need to be very precise and have little to no lateral movement with the pin or else you will bruise easily and the site will be sore for days.

I have never flexed any other muscle group when injecting because it is too difficult. I hit my delts in relatively the same spot each time, and I hear the crunch of scar tissue every time the needle goes in.

ding ding ding... we have us a winner!

I agree just to show the muscle so no room for misunderstanding.

I flexed once by accident once and it felt like a nail was getting driven into my a$$ (dont flex)

Exactly. You want to flex before you shoot, to see where the needle is going. The thing is, you don't flex while shooting.
It's just to find a good spot.
