scar tissue from frequent injections?

**tomt45** · 01-18-2012, 11:57 AM

So when I started doing short esthers at first I had a tough time pinning in certain areas so I hit my quads way too often. Now I have no problem hitting quads, delts and glutes. But I still have a spot in my right quad where if hit it right in that area it is really hard to inject. Like I cant push hard enough to get the oil to come out. Have any of you guys ever had this problem? Should I stop injecting in that area altogether?

Do any of you guys pin in your biceps, triceps or calves? I have never tried any of these areas but I want to mix up my injections as much as possible since I am pinning ed. Normally I use 1.5" 23 guage for glutes and 1" 25 gauge for quads and delts. What size of needle do you guys use in these other areas?(My bf % is about 9%) Is there much pain or soreness in these areas the next day? For some reason I feel like there would be more soreness from injecting in bi's and tri's...

Also when I pin in my quad I always hit about 6" below my hip on the side of my quad. Do you guys hit any other areas of the quad? If so where?

Thanks in advance for any advice...

i do bi's tri,s and pecs. I use a 25g 1 inch. They aren't painful to me. But for the first injection it may be since virgin muscle and depending on what are you injecting

You hit your chest too huh? That scares me for some reason...haha I am doing a test prop and tren a cycle. I am pinning 60mg of prop and 50mg of tren a ed.

It might be kinda hard to explain but where do you hit on your bis? Do you just hold your arm straight out and go for the middle of the bicep? Also with triceps do you hit on the side or the back? (the way i described those may not make sense...)

goto sp ot in ject ions (dot) com take out the spaces. They have video's. Easier then me try and explain. Any reason you dont do eod injections?

First time I injected my bi n tris the next day hurt like hell but each time after that it got easier

Pecs are very easy, no pain and easy to do........

How long have you been injecting?? I must have done hundreds if not thousands of injections in the quads and still have no scar tissue issues....

I have done eod injections. I guess I just don't like injecting 2.2-2.4 cc's into my quads and delts at one time. I am only a week into this cycle but so far whenever I hit my glutes I double up the dose and don't pin the following day. So for week 1 I did a total of 5 injections.

I will try the chest sometime this week. I am just starting my 4th cycle. I have done short esthers for all but my first one. I think part of the reason might be due to the fact that I hit the exact same spot on my quad every time I inject there. Its only one really small spot on my right quad where I have the problem. I noticed it a few times during the end of my last cycle and I noticed it today. I think I will just lay off that area and it should be fine.

Thanks for the advice guys...

bi's are really easy. 25g 5/8 pin. Rotate more sites and try to stop the ed injections. You should be fine.

So would you suggest pinning eod in every site, even if that means 2.4cc's per injection? That is not too large of a volume?

"I still have a spot in my right quad where if hit it right in that area it is really hard to inject. Like I cant push hard enough to get the oil to come out."

I've had similar, albeit rare, problems. Completely unable to push through the syringe. I don't think it has anything to do with scar tissue though, scarred or not you're still in soft flesh. I believe the problem was actually a matter of the needle being clogged with either skin or a water-based injectable that was not mixed up enough.

Only inject in the same site once per week. What you want to avoid is not only scar tissue (one week is more than enough time for the flesh to heal), but also an accumulation of oil in that muscle.

2.4 would be to much for a smaller muscle lie bi or tri

**tomt45** · 01-18-2012, 04:07 PM

I think I am just going to stick on the schedule of pinning ed except when I hit my glutes. When I hit my glutes I will double on the amount and not do an injection the following day. That will probably work out to 5 injections a week or so. In addition to that I am going to try to start hitting bi's tri's and chest. I will make sure not to pin in any one site more than once a week.

And to brian I guess I am not sure that it is scar tissue. I guess that was the only logical explanation that I could come up with for why I couldn't push oil in on that one spot in my right quad. It happened a few times last cycle and it was always in the same location. So its possible that it is due to some of the things you mentioned and just a coincidence that it happened in the same spot(its not like this happens every time, it has probably happened 4-5 times total)

Thanks for the advice guys
