pinning pecs

[akaz13]

Should you count it as a small muscle group and use 5/8" needles or should you go by the size of your pecs and use 1" if they are thicker?

5/8 is fine for me.

I just pinned my right pec for the first time today, was only .5ml of b12 though (500mcg). I used a 1" 25g pin with no problems. Zero pain after inject too! Just a nice pinch when the needle broke the skin to get in but no worries. SOme say they use a 5/8 like the guy above but most say to use a 1" on sites such as bi's, tri's, pecs, thighs, delts, calfs, lats, traps. Of course theres some who say they use 5/8 for those spots and even some who say they use a 1 1.5, depends on ur bf% id imagine. The majority say 1" for those spots so im stickin to that, the gauge depends on gear and if u can handle a bigger needle really. Ive heard guys on here doin 18g in the delt and thigh, no thank you!

Bro,all the posts you have and youve never heard of it???..thats an EZ inject bro..especially if you're injecting everyday...great for shot rotation....No bro no one is nuts for doing this...

[TJM7275]

Oh I've heard of it and I'm not saying they are literally crazy Max.... I just can't do it personally. Just having a fun bro...

[kynetguy]

Pecs are great, so are calves. If you are a prop junkie like me, you gotta rotate the stuff. I use a 1.5 on everything, I just control depth. but after 5 cycles with prop, I have good needle control.

The only place I cant shoot is my butt...

You're the first person I've heard of that actually enjoys pinning your calves!

LOL, enjoy might be a stretch, but I definately dont mind. I have an insane threshold for pain. Needles have never bothered me.

ive only injected pecs with insulin pins

[akaz13]

I have seen 5/8" recommended for bi, tri, delt... so that is what I used for those sites...

I used 1" for thighs and glutes, but I have 1 1/2" needles now... so I may go w/ 1 1/2 for glutes....

I know 1" is supposed to be an all around needle that you can use on any site.... but the site doesn't specify what to use on pecs...

I have enough pec meat to use 1", but I am just freaking a little that if I relax the muscle too much while injecting that it is over my heart.... I know, probably nothing to worry about, but still...

I may use 5/8" or either keep the muscle tight the whole time I am pinning.... I usually try to keep the needle right against the muscle, b/c when I was keeping a small amount out (in case the needle broke), I think I was unconsciously pulling out a little and the oil was too close to the surface....

which I ended up w/ an oil abscess in my left glute and right delt... so now I try to keep the pin right against the muscle...

Ouch!!

i'd be more worried about hitting a rib. i don't think that would feel too good. but you could just inject the right side, or mayb even higher up, away from your heart

[G4R]

I have honestly never pinned my pecs. I love to inject in my Delts though, don't feel a thing.

Any of that, really.. so pretty much all of the above.. that is why I said what said about being really cautious w/ the area...

I like delts too... but w/ having to rotate..

I like thighs b/c they are right there, no odd contortions to get to them...

I like tri's, haven't done bi's yet, but I will next week.. I will probably hit pecs after...

I don't like glutes b/c of the twisting... right glute is no problem, but left is diff even though I am pretty even handed, but right hand dominant...

I won't consider traps b/c it would be impossible to see (or coordinate, for that matter) to aspirate, etc... or lats b/c I can't reach around to do them at all...

If someone else was shooting me, I would pin those areas.. but the only other person who knows is needle phobic... so I am not letting him shoot me.. plus, I just feel safer knowing what I am doing... I trust me... no HIV worries from an accident, etc...

I am even considering calves, but I hear that they hurt like a mofo...

[TJM7275]

Yeah man, I just can't bring myself to stick my body like that....LOL
I always use my delts or glutes. Good Luck though brother

[Baseball03]

ive only done delts and glutes and delts are cake for me . love them .. i wanna try some other spots but for now im a lil scurred hahaha

[Deen54]

i have done quads, delts and glutes.. but never tried pecs.

Imagine a needle close to your heart..screw that!...plus there is alot more

wiring going on in that area.

I think I will stay where I am thanks.

[kynetguy]

I like to pin my pecs by going straight through the middle of the nipple, usually with an 18 or 16ga needle. No Pain no gain!








...now that I put that awful thought in everyones head. . .
