I gotta say this about quad shots

[lzicc]

I've been trying to get up the guts to shoot my quads for months now since I am doing ed shots, I needed another spot. I hate needles to begin with and hearing horror stories about quads, I've been staying away from them.

Well, yesterday, I had no choice since all of my regular spots were still somewhat sore from past shots. Now I won't do my own IM shots, I have someone else do them. Last night I had my wife shoot 1 cc into my quads and could not get over how painless it was. I couldn't even feel the needle and today it is maybe slightly sore, that is it.

Then today, I had to shoot 2.5cc's and no one was around to do it for me, so I bit the bullet and did it myself. I can't believe what a baby I've been. It was so easy to shoot myself. I've been cycling for quite awhile and this is the first time I ever shot myself. I am so glad I got myself over this fear. Glutes were always painless for me, but quads are that much better. I can't believe it.

i also like quads but when u hit ur first nerve let us know how u feel after.

[SpiderRico]

i hate quads ...old soccer player quads are pretty well developed and it pops when the pin goes in i hate it

[Hooligan]

This may sound really stupid... but before you do the shot... try giving a toast:

"Here's to livin large"

If you say it outloud, I promise you'll laugh everytime and it will totally diffuse the whole situation. Cause everyone knows the shot itself is nothing and that it's all in your head.

After my 1st cycle it was all self injections for me.. now i wouldn't let anyone inject me for anything.. quads are without a doubt the easiest...love 'em .

[SpiderRico]

i dont think i need to laugh when im sticking myself with a pin cuz i dont need the pin dancing doing the hustle in my leg ...but yes wait till you hit a nerve...dammmm i hate that might lose feeling in your leg temp.

[Giantz11]

I used to be scared of quad shots too for some odd reason. Then I saw that pussy from that MTV True life hit his quads and then obviously it was on. Now they are my favorite, so easy and painless and they have a good 3-4 spots per quad.

[PLAYA4LIFE]

I have tried 3 times but not succesful on all of them; I always hit nerve endings which makes me just want to stay away from them but I reckon it would be painless if it weren't for hitting nerve endings.

YUP!!

god bless EOD or E3D where i only have to use delt and glute...

[goalseeker]

When I hit my first nerve, I was so lightheaded with the rush and all that I almost tipped over....Next time I shot, I moved a bit higher and never seemed to hit one again.. whether it was coincidence or not, Im not sure...

[gman13]

glutes are ok to shot as long as you dont hit a nerve,one time i had to stick myself three times just because i kept hitting a nerve and let me tell you my leg hurt bad the next day. delts are probably the easiest for me never hit a nerve doing them

[lzicc]

When I shot my quad, both times I went a little higher than halfway between the knee and hip and off to the right of the right leg and shot at an angle. That seems to be a clean meaty area to hit. Everywhere else I would see to many veins.
I've hit nerves before on other sites so I would think hitting a nerve in the quad would have the same feeling. I'm am just glad I got past this fear.

[sp9]

First shot was a quad shot, loved them ever since. I don't do short esters so, I can pretty much get away with using them most of the time.

i always shoot my quads, it is painles but 2 weeks ago i hit a nerve and shot the needle back out of my leg, freaked me out and now i cant shoot myself i have to let my training partner do it 4 me

[SVTMuscle*]

where exactly on your quad are you suppose to shoot?

oh well, guess they don't want that injection site posted. Look on google and you will find alot of med sites that demonstrate IM injections and show exaclty where the main nerve is.

[smmrsm2000]

wow , i never even knew quads could be a problem area....i have done my own injections ever since i did my very first cycle. i remember sweating like a pig the very first time i was so nervous. luckily, i had this forum to go to if i ran into trouble, like the time i did calf injections -- NEVER AGAIN IN THE CALF!

awesome post man!

My first shot was into my quad. All I can tell you is don't do any step mill work cause you will be freaking stiff from that shot. I hit a nerve this past thursday and had to move the pin out and over. Not as bad as I thought but still wierd feeling. Also I was resting some DB's on my legs just prior to doing shoulder presses and all I could think of was the juice squirting out of the fresh injection hole.

I think it is way easier to control the needle and inject into my quads than my ass.

How do you feel today, stiff I bet?

That's why I love some EQ mixed with my test, never stiff, no soreness in the quads, even at 2 - 2.25ml.

Really?? Tell me more about this........

[HUNTER1]

where exactly on your quad are you suppose to shoot?

In nursing school we were taught to divide the thigh into 3 sections (imagine obviously) and use the upper section in the outer side of the leg. The Z-track method is a must as it helps seal in the medication.

[sp9]

Really?? Tell me more about this........

It's kinda like using injectable b12 as a mix, it just takes the sting/soreness out of the test/ba. When I do test only, (to different degrees depending on BA level) I get sore from the test. Mix in EQ never sore.

Even with cyp or enth? How much EQ/wk 600mg?

Quads are cake ........ so easy ...... wish i could do them everyday

[Juddman]

good for you bro..much easier than waiting around for someone else to do it for you, you do it on your own schedule..plus it feels good to know you're over a fear regardless of what it is

only prob is u need 2 hands for the z track what about glutes and delts? when i was in nursing school we only talked about quad shots in the pediatric rotation thats when i figured if a baby can do it so can i!

[Logan13]

i also like quads but when u hit ur first nerve let us know how u feel after.

exactly edmen. I used to like quad shot as well, until I started hitting nerves or veins, there are alot of both in this area. The first nerve that I hit made my big toe spasm, obviously that sucked. I do ED injects as well for up to 25 weeks/cycle: I use r/l delts, r/l glutes, and r/l ventro gluteal (hip). No more quad injects for me.

[TantruM]

i never did quad shot till two weeks ago (was ending my test enanthate and eq) and starting prop and me and training partner had been doing each others glute shots... i was seriously sick of lookin at his hairy ass so we decided since doing ED shots we'd do our own in quads... its a blessing there so easy lol

[Tiftan090]

I've had some easy quad shots but they're not always that way. I could always handle hitting nerves, but pisses me off is hitting a tendon I couldn't push through. Usually worked on the second try though. I find I have the easiest time if I go two thirds up my leg, and lower than the very side of my leg if I"m sitting. This spot is painless and never any tendons.

[sp9]

Even with cyp or enth? How much EQ/wk 600mg?

Yes esp. with cyp or enth (prop, sust all)...Depends on the level of BA. I have had painless Enan, and Enan that made me sore for 4 days. as far as EQ, say you are doing a ml of test and it is making you sore for a few days. Mix in as little as 1/4 ml of EQ or as much as you want weekly if it is already going to be part of your cycle.

"It pops" - whatcha mean by this?

[Igifuno]

he's talking about the skin...

[WelshWarrior]

Thanks, still don't really get it but I guess I've got the dunce hat on today.

Isn't this into the hamstring?

[Bob's big boy]

I love Quad shots. I just finished injecting 3 cc of Prop in my right one.
