quads shots- NERVES EVERYWHERE

[JasonR]

each time i try to inject to the outer part of the quad in a 45 degree angle i hit a nerve right at the beginning and just cant push the needle more than a quarter inch.. it just hurts, and when i take it out i bleed.

Whats up?? i wanna do suspension next cycle and without quads its just not gonna work.

Also for Tri shots, do you just stick a half inch needle directly into the middle of that juicy tear drop ?

Is this where you are shooting it ?

[JasonR]

nope... like that:

[Kale]

Ouch... give it a try on the side dude, I think you will find its a lot easier. It certainly is for me

side means 90 degree straight in, right ? just find a meaty chunk halfway up the thigh and shoot ?

Yep thats exactly what it means, go about two inches past half way though. Funny enough I have trouble even shooting like that in my left quad but no trouble at all in my right quad.

Great, will try it soon.
Thanks for your help man !

No problem and good luck, let us know how you go. By the way I always do it sitting down, the muscle is more relaxed

I do my quad shots like you have pictured on top. When I first started it was the most painful injection site for me. It's seemed like I was hitting nerves or a vein every time I would inject.
I was pushing the needle in slowly it is was always a hassle to shoot. So one day I decided to kind of jab the nedle in, and it worked great. Now I do it on all my shots, jab the needle in like a dart about halfway and then finish pushing it in slowly.
Now quads are my favorite spot to inject, every once in a while I'll hit a nerve, but I'll just push through and its fine.

nope... like that:

That is exactly where I shoot and never had a problem. If I go too far to the side or too far to the top it hurts like hell, I mean crippling pain. I guess you just need to find the right spot on yourself as I think everyone is different.

[Ncogneato]

I feel your pain, JR. I have never shot quads without hitting a nerve or having a charlie horse for a few days. I finally gave up. I shoot pecs now instead.

[redz]

I have done my first 2 shots ever in my quads and I find them painless. I use that top picture as my guide the first time. I am more afraid of shooting my glutes myself than anything else. I use 25G 1" for quads and it goes in like nothing.

[JasonR]

Alright dudes, I just ht my quads from the side and it goes in perfectly now... the skin there is very hard so u really have to apply force to push it in, but it goes in.

BUT, its just too ****ing painful, usually i can take the suspension shots on my ass and delts, its no biggie, but shooting quads i was unable to train... is it just because its a virgin muscle ?

[redz]

I would think its probably the virgin muscle but if it continues maybe it just wont work for you. I have heard many people say they cant workout their legs after quad shots. For me it seems to go in pretty easily I just try not to think about it much.

I injected the first two weeks of supertest in my legs and could not walk or sit or anything without pain in my legs now i shoot my delts and have no problems
