Delt Injection

**DCB83** · 05-19-2007, 09:08 AM

Injected my delt for the first time on tuesday with prop. Im totally out of commission from the gym. The pain is so bad, can't even sleep.I dont think ill be training for at least another 3-4 days.
Has this happened to anyone else?

**Zipper** · 05-19-2007, 10:52 AM

I will be doing my first delt shot in 2 days. Prop/tren .

Wish me luck.

**DCB83** · 05-19-2007, 12:01 PM

the delt i shot looks massive compared to the other, and pretty hard to the touch.Just sux because im sitting around wasting time when i could be training and building strength.Theres no point in me hitting the gym in this state.
Only glutes from now on.

For sure, delts hurt like a mothaf******. Don't even think of trying bis or tris if your delts hurt that bad. I'm done with site injections, the pain was so bad I was like you and couldn't train upper body for a week because my arms hurt so friggin bad. Stick to quads and glutes.

ya...get used to it dude...it sucks...but you know what they say....no pain, no gain

**lex57** · 05-19-2007, 03:59 PM

man when i run prop i cant wait to do it in my delts. i feel the least amount of pain there. kinda weird. it actually hurts the most in my glutes believe it or not. i guess everyone is different. one thing though i am a little concerned that you said your one delt looks massive compared to the other. i dont know if thats normal. of course i have not had a reaction there so not sure.

**DCB83** · 05-20-2007, 06:49 PM

just asking again if the swelling and hardness of my delt is normal?
Been 5 days, pain hasn't changed.

I take motrin for the first few weeks of a prop cycle and haven't missed a single day at the gym. Some people will tell you not to take it...it breaks down protein synthesis ect, but id rather make it to the gym and lack some protein then miss 3-4 days.

I don't know if that is normal or not but the same happens to me in delts and quads. I was concerned at first but im still here. (knock on wood)

I mix 1 to 1 prop with cottonseed oil and I shoot delts eod. barely any pain at all.

Same symptons when I first shot in my glute. First of all how much are you shooting in? What I did for first delt inject was to put 1 cc in each one, then moved up to two.

The swelling is just your body trying to dissipate it. I like aleve since its anti-inflamatory. Its worth it you will still see gains. Next time try shifting the site a little closer towards your pecs. I find that dead-center has the least room for the oil to go in and will cause the most pain. Good luck to you, stick it out.

Does a little redness mean infection.
I just noticed that the spot i injected turned a little red with a little spot on my lower side delt toward my bicep is red aswell. wtf!

**scribbs12** · 05-21-2007, 01:43 AM

yup, seems to have done the job. i recommend it.not much pain when i move my arm around but still kinda swollen and hurts when i touch the spot. i don't care about that though, as long as i can train tonight and get this show on the road.

**Bigmax** · 05-21-2007, 03:16 PM

Training will actually help it bro...bringing blood to the area will help disperse the compound...Prop made with BA will almost always hurt...I recommend getting prop in EO.

Injections in place like delt always make sure u do it right because of its uncomfortable position from an injection point of view.

shouldnt have broken in a virgin delt with prop, my first prop inj in my glute i couldnt walk for a week

**davidboy** · 05-22-2007, 01:50 AM

love my delts injections....no pain at all, delts are my favorite spot to inject..I recently injected in my left pec and after 3 days later my left pec looked like DD's, no joke, it was very hard and little redness with pain, it took me more than weeks to hardness to go away, so be patient bro, I have done pecs in past and it was first time I got it, I think it happened because I went too deep (1" pin), I usually go 5/8 deep and always worked that way.
