Pinning issues... vets suggestions?

[mwilkinson]

28 yrs old
5th week of my third cycle. first time stacking deca/test e (up 15lbs in 29 days with my bf around 13%)
did sust and test 400 previous to this cycle.

i've been pinning the majority of my pins for all cycles alternating glutes. never had an issue until recently. i started feeling what seems to be scar tissue on each glute so it's been getting tougher and slightly more painful going in (22 gauge 1.5" and injecting 1.25ml) i go all the way in every time and have NEVER had an issue with anything coming back out or excessive bleeding. Monday i pinned and when i pulled out i estimate .25ml leaked out of my injection spot on right glute. Thursday i pinned left side and pulled out and probably bled 1.5 tablespoons worth of blood. i pulled the plunger like normal and no blood came up so why would i bleed like that? i'm going to switch to 23 gauge/1" and pin my quads and maybe delts but i'm worried about the amount a delt can hold comfortably. i now have a small area the size of a quarter on my left glute that is significantly hard. this happen to anyone or any suggestions on what could've went wrong? any thoughts please share. thanks

You need to use some new injection sites. Delts, quads, pecs, glutes, repeat. I pin ed and have no problem with that. 22g is bigger than necessary. I use a 1 inch 25 g everywhere. That helps a lot.

^^ Agreed try new injection sites and rotate them around the body, give your glutes a rest for a bit.

23 for glutes 1"

and 25 1" for delts and quads

I find work well


get over the fear of using other sites, it's not as big a deal as your making it out to be

god luck

^^ I agree completely. You might actually enjoy not twisting like a pretzel everytime you have to pin. Personally I use glutes, quads, calves, pecs & delts. I used to think glutes were the best, not even close to how easy quads/delts/pecs & calves are.

Try em you might actually prefer them.

I used to bleed when I pulled the pin out. Now, I inject, wait 20 or 30 seconds and then pull. I rarely bleed.

thanks guys. did my quad (first time for this cycle/5th time ever) little swollen and red but otherwise pretty fine. i appreciate all the advice. thanks! would 1.25 ml be ok in delts? i'm assuming it is but just checking.

I go 1". You can use what you have- just don't stick it in all the way. Unless you are really meaty of course. For example I'm 5'8 235 and I use 1" 23 everywhere. Except for HGH of course. Then 5/8" 29g.

sounds like you probably went through a vein i use 3ml in my glutes with a 21 pin alternating weekly i to have had gear run back out try injecting slowly then when you pull out really massage the muscle good. on my thighs ill use no more than 100 ml nand 25 pin

I use 25g needles, but I pin daily. It really helps to reduce the build up of scar tissue. I always say if your delts too small for at least 2 ml you don't want to be doing steroids quite yet anyway...

21 is huge. There is no need for that size unless that is all you can get your hands on. You will build up scar tissue quickly with frequent pinning with this size.

Agree with most posts, use 25g and rotate sites. As for your bleeding, sounds like you nicked a vein, ive experienced that a handful times bled like a pig, looked like a massacre. Also ive always tried to masage the site, in my opinion it helps minimize scar tissue build up. Good luck bro
