    Small Ball/Knot in Pinned Site...I know it'll go away, but what is that? how 2 avoid?

    Hi,

    I got a Small Ball/Knot in Pinned Site...I know it'll go away, but what is that? how do I avoid it?

    (the other time this happened, it disappeared after like 5 days.)

    Background info.

    I use 400 mg/mL Test. Meaning 1 ml = 400 mgs. But I draw out .6 ML which comes out to roughly 250 mgs of Test @ 2x per week totalling 500 mgs/Test using a 1 inch needle.

    I pin both pecs and both delts. (so I have 4 spots to alternate), GOING ALL THE WAY IN WITH THE 1 INCH NEEDLE AND WAITING 15 SEC'S BEFORE DRAWING OUT SO THE JUICE DOESN'T OOZE OUT AS MUCH FROM THE MUSCLE

    I know it'll go away like i said, but it's annoying

    It's annoying cos it's SORE and I won't be able to maximize (IMO) my chest workouts with a sore ball on my chest.

    Is it something i should be worried about over the long term?

    *Important Question repeated:

    If this annoying ball happens too many times, can it lead to an abcess even though I am very careful in keeping gear & bod clean, & sterile?

    Alternative Option:

    I think I might have to Pin the Glutes cos I will later on not only pinning Test but also Deca -durabolin for joint relief/repair AND along with the Quads, it's a LARGE MUSCLE GROUP perfect for pinning concentrated gear like what im using.

    Are the glutes easy to aspirate ?

    What's the probability of hitting a nerve?

    Thre should be no problem, if I hit the upper outer Glutes like almost near the hip, huh?

    Anybody have a link with a good diagram (still photo) of an IM glute site?

    I have well-developed upper outer pecs so I don't think it's a question of a small muscle being pinned which can be problematic like the Delt, but I maybe wrong cos it may be that the Pecs are in and of themselves inherently a small muscle group.

    Any good advice or good effort would be appreciated.

    Don't forget to train consistently and imagine a loud drill seargant on your shoulder motivating you.

    Thanks!

    A lot of times, it means you didn't inject into the muscle and the aas is just sitting there under the skin. It will run its course and go away in time but you basically wasted a shot.. (not harmful) To avoid, just make sure that your needle is in all the way the entire time and that you are using the correct length needle.

    thanks. a lot!

    a 1 inch needle was recommended by a good authority.

    maybe i will pin a more beefier part of the chest.

    anyone else?

    1" should be long enough for any spot other then the glut.

    Thanks still open to more info.

    in the mean time, i recently sent an e-mail to my medical supply company--they sold me 1 inch needles, they'd probably know, also. as far as what's a good part of the pecs to pin. a diagram i read somewhere said not upper and not outer like the glutes, but the pecs can be hit at 11 o'clock from the nipple at a spot about 2 inches north from the nipple-- as ur lookin into a mirror (the mirror's backward reflection)

    thanks again...

    & am getting unwanted facial hair

    i feel like a Werewolf.

    and large whitehead pimples and other acne.

    when my diet consists mostly of lean chicken breasts

    i also can handle more poundages in other ancillary areas that don't hit the chest directly like standing barbell triceps extensions.


    thanks, kaptain

    ^YW! But please thank Lunk!

    And good to hear you are ok.

    I just had a shitty pin myself. Quad. Sucks. I just try to ignore it as much as possible. It just happens sometimes.
