I am pretty sure the axillary nerve runs under the arm pit. try google dude, and find an image that illustrates it.

Then how come u can hit it while injecting ur delts! I need a clear answer:s

Looks like you would have to pin high in the rear delt to catch that nerve.

For the most part, it is way beneath the belly of the delt. Its safe there. The only place it becomes vulnerable is near the lower corner or the insertion of the delt, where its uncovered. Dont pin there. As long as you are in the upper half, the fleshy part if the delt, its safe.

If you pinned too near the nerve, you arm will be numb. You'll know it. If you just felt the usual pain, you are safe.
