    injections?

    I'm about done with this cycle i'm on, and here for the past few weeks I cant hardly get the needle to go in, I rotate my injections and i've tried different gauges of needles and brands, but its like I'm pushing the needle to the point that its going to break before it will finally go through the skin and into the muscle. has anyone else experienced this before. this makes the second time this has happened, I dont know if its where my skin is firmer or muscles are harder or what,

    sounds like your first loop.

    you are trying to penetrate what is now scar tissue and / or muscle trying to presently heal.

    generally speaking, we all experience this.

    after all, we are only human.

    are you experiencing this with every injection site? are your muscles completely relaxed when injecting?

    its doing it on ever muscle group, biceps, tris, delts, thighs. most of my injections are right after I've taken a shower. I stay relaxed but its like trying to push that needle through a rock,

    is there anything that I can do other than what i'm doing or just keep sticking..

    thanks,,

    no, I always draw with an 18gauge and then switch back to the unused needle I take off of the syringe. I dont know why its doing this surly I didnt get an order of 100 dull needles that would bite..

    I would think that U R using the same needle to draw with then pin UR self, It is unreal how dull those needles get going through rubber, unless UR using a glass amp.

    I don't know man... fresh needles are VERY sharp. How many times a week did you hit the same spot? Even if there is some scar tissue there, it seems odd a fresh needle can't penetrate it.

    I agree. Also, scar tissue on every part of each injection site? Doesn't seem likely.

    thanks for answering but still can't find it. I went to forum jump at the bottom of the page to the section I want to create a new thread or post. at the top of the screen I see nothing that would let me create a new thread or post. what's the difference to a thread or post? thanks again.

    Bro I ran an 8 week cycle of suspension so I have great experience with daily injections. It got pretty hard to find unused muscle but I got creative, I jabbed my traps, calves, chest and triceps. But I think your problem is that you are not jabbing the needle into you. You said that you "push" the needle against your skin. I used to do the same thing, I would slowly (because i was nervous) put the needle in. But the key is to do it fast like a doctor. It takes some nerves but trust me it works and feels better. I was lucky because my girlfriend did my injections and she is a nurse so....

    Agree, after numerous injections to the same sites I noticed it was more and more difficult and painful to slowly push the needle in. At first it was great to do that, but now the stab is way more easy and painless. Grab the syringe like a dart but don't let go of it (duh) as you make a quick flick of your hand forward.

    bro, you are exactly right, I do just push it in slowly (nervous). I have been making daily injections and seems like it is getting tougher and tougher to do the injections, I dont know why it makes me so nervous, I've been doing this for the past 3 or 4 years. I will try to jab it...

    thanks for the advice bro, I really appreciate it...

    No problem brother, we are all here to help. Now go get psyched for that inject! Just think of the massive amounts of weight you'll be throwing around in the gym!

    Peace
