    Pinning a nerve?

    this has happened twice in the last month, i use a 1.5" 23g into my delt and it twitches like i electrocuted it, now its happened in a quad. is that a nerve? or am i going in to fast or something. i know im not going to die just wondering.

    Personally I would not go deeper than 1" in either of those muscles.

    So this thing that is happening is it like your muscle is contracting really rapidly?

    I believe you just strafe a nerve. It's completely normal and not at all dangerous.

    As i was advanceing the needle the whole front of my delt flexed and unflexed a number of times quickly. same with the quad. Im pretty lean too about 7% bf i may switch to 1" needles. oh an i already use a 1 in the delt i would hit bone with a 1.5 im not quite as wide as some of you guys.

    You sure your not just nervous? My first injection hurt like a bitch because I kept flexing my delt on accident.

    Yes, its a nerve... it happened to me twice and I have seen it happen to a friend of mine when I was pinning him. Don't worry.... if it doesn't hurt the next day, you're fine.

    Stay from the 1.5 bro. Especially if your 7 %. How tall and how much do you way?

    23g, 1.5"/7% BF is to long for a delt injection - use that in your @ss where you have more room to take it in. IMO a 25g would be fine for a delt injection but then again I'm to chicken to do anything but my glutes.
