Can I practice pinning with B-12?

**bruary17** · 11-29-2010, 05:35 PM

I will be running Test-E in the spring of 2011. But I'm retarded nervous. I'm wondering if I can go to my pharmacy, buy B-12 and some pins and practice with it. Anybody ever do this? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

**rebel70** · 11-29-2010, 06:00 PM

Sounds like a good idea

**frank784** · 11-30-2010, 11:46 AM

What part is scaring you the most....the possible sides, the needles, the fact that you will be doing something illegal?

I think almost everyone on here is a little hesitant on their first pin.....you will laugh after your first shot realizing how simple it was and how much you worried over nothing.....most people do.

**bruary17** · 11-30-2010, 12:54 PM

I get bad anxiety. There was a recent thread about it here that somebody started, I was surprised to see just how many guys feel the same as me. Thanks for that input though, man. I'm sure it will be all good after my first pin. Just got the jitters and want to try it w B-12 to see what I'm in for.

**Ashop** · 11-30-2010, 01:02 PM

yes you could do that.

**sixoner** · 11-30-2010, 01:35 PM

i've been injecting b12 for a while bro definitely helped to get rid of a bunch of stupid as far as injecting goes. i dont forget to tighten down the pins if i'm using a leur lock now...not so much anxiety in my case I don't mind injections at all but definitely made a bunch of dumb ass mistakes in the beginning.. glad it wasn't gear..I can rotate quads, delts, glutes now no problems even used some 29g slin pins and injected it sub-cutaneous no worries with that either now, I prefer to go IM with the b-12 though not sure if it makes any significant difference just my preference...I'm getting prepared for my first cycle as well I'm leaning towards prop as I already have a bunch on hand...least of my worries is gonna be injecting that's for sure

btw lion sells b-12 and pins delivered to the front door dirt cheap..i've been using his b-12 no problems

Thanks dude...but I feel a little safer getting it at my pharmacy...I think everyone should pin B-12 before taking th leap...I'm confident that it's going to help rid the jitters

**yungone501** · 11-30-2010, 01:57 PM

Real men pin with anticipation of the pain. Just something about that feeling man...yeah!

**sixoner** · 11-30-2010, 02:26 PM

fuk the pain.. didn't want to leave anything to chance. not for nothing anyway the b12 helped me out with my appetite without a doubt

**flexandex** · 11-30-2010, 05:02 PM

wow. awesome idea!

i'll be doing that for sure.

**Juice Authority** · 11-30-2010, 05:09 PM

It's a sad day when you can't remember your first pin but it was over 20 years ago. That sadder part is I'm 37.

**freakinhuge** · 11-30-2010, 05:15 PM

Sounds like a good idea, good practice and the B12 will help for sure.

**stack_it** · 11-30-2010, 07:52 PM

I had a buddy do my first pin. After that I did all my own. I was surprised at how simple it was. I say go forth b12 injects to get yourself comfortable with pinning.

**Bonaparte** · 11-30-2010, 08:10 PM

Somehow nobody has pointed out that HG injectable B12 requires a prescription in the US. You can't just go pick it up at the pharmacy.

I was wondering about whether or not you could get it w/o prescription here. I've never looked into b12 so had no idea.

^This sorta puts a damper on things.

I have a pretty good relationship w my Dr. He's a football fanatic beleive it or not and I plan on being totally honest with him about my cycle. I also plan on going to my cardiologist and having my heart monitored and blood levels checked frequently. I know that a side from the gear is possible hardening of the heart ventricals which scares the SHEEEYOT outta me! Any of my other organs can go F themselves but for some reason my heart freaks me out.

Maybe he'll give me a script for B-12. I'm def going to ask.

**bodybuilder** · 12-01-2010, 04:21 AM

Don't worry about the pin bro i did my first a couple of weeks ago and trust me i was terrified of needled. It is all mental bro trust me just don't over think it and get er done.

**Newyorkrockstar** · 12-01-2010, 04:43 AM

i had the same thoughts when i first pinned but now no joke i look forward to it, and look even more forward to when i throw prop in ed... ... you will look back and feel the same trust me.

**Far from massive** · 12-01-2010, 04:49 AM

I wonder if injectable saline soulution would not be a better choice in the rare circumstance where you accidently did it IV or hit a nerve? Also to to Youtube and look at the videos of IM injections put on by nursing clinics, it may help make you more comfortable than just reading about it.

**cherrydrpepper** · 12-01-2010, 05:48 AM

bruary17 I had a friend do my first few pins and I read a thread about things that help with it. I was also very nervous. When my friend did it I looked away and sang the scooby doo theme song. When I do myself I will typically play a song on my computer I know the words to. Unfortunately last time I played LMFAO - Shots , not making the connection that maybe that song would not take my mind off of .. a shot. lol.

**dan5568** · 12-01-2010, 09:09 AM

i always practise new areas with b12.. the first time i tried bis, trics, chest and traps was with b12 a few times before gear. even if anything happens (inject into vein for example) you'll still be fine lol, and even if some freak accident happens and you end up in the ER you can legitamtly say you were injecting b12

**laveycraft** · 12-01-2010, 10:22 AM

im doing b12 too to get used to pinning. but there 29 g. very thin i compared the other needles 23g side by side they might hurt lol...im in canada and u can pick up b12 and pins no perscription. b12 was like 8 bucks 10mg i think.? i do 1cc 2 times a week. u said u were going to tell ur doctor everything like using aas, i wouldnt just because they write stuff down and if something happens like heart attack insurance companys could call u on stuff like that i think?

**cro** · 12-01-2010, 12:09 PM

all stats logged and soon ill post pics i plan on bringin you with me. i was pumped all day today more than usual feeling real good though .

B12 (and any water based peptide) can be pinned IV. In many cases it won't be ideal, but it won't hurt you. Just don't pin a huge amount in an artery, since the pH change in your bloodstream might shock your system.

**kleaver** · 12-01-2010, 12:33 PM

idk about b12. never touched the stuff. but remember that most gear will be oil based, so practicing with somethign like bacteriostatic water won't be the same. you'll have to push the plunger slower, etc. i think b12 is thinner, but idk

idk that i'd waste my money on b12, but to each his own.

do something easy your first time. hot shower, quad, stretch the skin out with one hand and pin with the other. it'll be a good first one b'c stretching the skin out makes it go in easier imho. and it'll be easier to aspirate with both hands.

**Far from massive** · 12-01-2010, 01:04 PM

The whole thing is too much like kissing a pillow, just man the F==K up!

cro, pumped my man. keep me updated!

**cro** · 12-01-2010, 10:47 PM

b-12 is cheap and very helpfull

**MrGreen** · 12-01-2010, 10:53 PM

As mentioned B-12 can be obtained from AR-R .com I have some and its gtg.

Pinning is all in your head just remember to jab the pin like a dart rather then push it in and try to think about it as little as possible. I still dont enjoy it but it doesnt bother me much either.

**j.daddy** · 12-02-2010, 12:33 AM

Man you may end up like me, I have given myself about 60+ shots and still get nervous every time. I kno its mostly painless but I hate needles. I still shake every now and again, but I know that if I want to compete in an nontested show I really don't have a choice. That and the pros to con ratio is (in my mind) in the favor of the pros. Good luck dude

**cerealkiller326** · 12-02-2010, 07:42 AM

Bah! I'm also retarded nervous as well, my friend is willing to pin for me, but I feel sorry I have to have my bare ass in his face every time for doses. There is no way my GF a nurse in Med School is going to agree and pin me gentle either. lol, I'm screwed, no wonder kids are looking for orals and rub on AAS...

**floyderoid** · 12-02-2010, 01:45 PM

i took a couple shots of vodka before i took my first shot i was so very nervous. Then when i did it my heart started beating fast and i got all hot and sweaty, so i sat down and felt fine in a couple minutes. after about 4 or 5 shots i couldnt wait to take the next shot and rather enjoyed doing it and wished i could inject more frequently. when im ready to cycle again i will do test prop and inject every day
