Injection spots hard to shoot

[Hephens]

Over the past Year or 2 its become harder for me to shoot into my delts. But my delts have been the ones that have had the most pinning since iv started. Otherwise i do my quads and rarely my traps. I always use the same size pin aswel, could this be to do with scar tissue underneath or something ellse. I usually shoot around 3ml into my delts at a time no problem with 25gage, rotating around my delts aswel. It just takes upto 10mins to shoot my delts. I rarther not use a bigger gage either, i dont want holes everywhere.

Why are you not utilizing the best place for injections... The glutes. Is it a flexibility issue?

[xXthehulkXx]

Glutes are not the easiest site to pin. That's the one site I avoid as much as possible.
Quads
Pec
Lats
Traps

its probably scar tissue from hitting them to much

[Lil man]

Everything I've ever read says that scar tissue will cause this. Anyway I am like the previous poster, why wouldn't you hit glutes? I'm sort of partial I suppose since that's where I started but delts I feel less pain and soreness

Glutes are way too big and easy not to utilize. After a bit of practice you will be able to do everything with one hand,,,,left or right. Scar tissue will form anywhere though. Sometimes you can feel the needle popping through the scar tissue. Ten minutes to inject would drive me insane, and I could not stay in that twisted position like that.

I cant do my glutes without feeling comfortable injecting that is why i have never actually done Glutes.

i'm having the same problem... i would try quads or lats. how long of pin are you using? also, 22 or 23 gauge isn't that much different than 25. really no big deal. i use 22 everywhere. i use 1" for everything but glute (which i know you don't want to do) but i use 1.5 for glute and it's fine. i actually love the glute the best. least p.i.p. and don't even feel it.

Scar tissue could definitely be a problem. I do know though that doctors say you are not supposed to inject more than 1ml of anything into the delts because its a small muscle. Not sure what the reason is for this but this is what they say.

[600@50]

I used to only use glutes for pins. At times it sounds like tearing plastic or something when I hit scar tissue in the muscle but there is no pain. Quads are becoming my new favorite area. Rotate sites and you'll minimize the scar tissue. Also I could never pin the glute with looking in the mirror. I'm not flexible enough to pin the delts and couldn't see to hit the glute if I didn't use a mirror.

My first injection i'm going to do in my glutes. Seems the easiest

[austinite]

I hate the glutes. I'll never pin them. Try the Lats, very easy.

[xXthehulkXx]

If we are talking about easy, go with pecs or quads. There is no twisting or bending or awkward positions in front of the mirror.

[Hephens]

sounds good, i only ever do delts and qauds. I have done traps once before and had a massive headache from doing them haha

[BlueWaffle21]

I love the quads now!! The twisting for the glute is a pain for me but they are easy too!!

Get some 27g pins. I started having a hard time using 25g breaking the skin in some places (New pins) and by switching to a 27g it worked much easier and only takes a little longer to push out.

Yes i rather push slower, i usualy get bruised or pain the next day if i push to quickly into my quads.

Yup, that is one of the things I have been preaching for a couple of years not, inject SLOWLY. I look at it as 1 min per cc to inject. Most people people take 30 sec or less to inject 1cc and it bruises the muscle due to blasting into it. Injecting SLOW takes all this away so any soreness you know is from something else, typically virgin muscle. Take 2 minutes to inject vs 2 days of pain? You do the math and see what one saves more time when you consider having to use ice/heat or rubbing it? lol

Bro just curious, what compound are you pushing through a 27g?

Seriously. Better be water based, b12 or something. I use 23 for everything.
