Fast question I pin my thighs currently once a week left than right my left always painless problem free my my right always gives me problems .... it doesn't hurt but everytime I pin my right thigh about 1/4 way in and 1/2 way in my muscle twitches and spasm only the right side what gives ? Am I Hitting a nerv or something
I cannot figure this out now for months if this is a serious problem or just me hitting a nerv once I'm in it stops so I inject currently 0.5cc
Happens to me too sometimes... I'll either pull the pin out or change the angle ever so slightly & it usually works out...Quote:

Or just like you said a nerve tendon or ligament maybe
I pin in the middle between the hip and knee but I am left handed so maybe the angle like you said cause my right leg is harder since I'm left handed and never have problems going left side
My gf wants to learn glute shots I cannot reach around but she's scared so I keep doing my thighs but when this happens everytime on the right side does not make it fun at all
I did your hand placement lands right in the spot like dead centre lol maybe I'm to far towards the side or something

Do you rotate sites? Delts tris pecs quads glutes :D
Yes I also flex before pinning to make sure than let it relax
Since I'm pinning once a week i rotate thighs only when I see my trainer he does a glute shot for me
I wanna glute myself but can't reach around correctly delta never done them but remember it's only the right leg last time I pinned this leg was 4 weeks ago cause I got some glutes done
But what causes the whole leg to twitch is this a nerv maybe ? Something to worry about?
Most likely a nerve yes.... for ex; many people think pinning in the middle of the ass cheek is correct - it is not... you need to go upper outer quadrant almost on your hip but just below... what I'm bringing up is your sciatic nerve which runs from your ass to your foot in both legs - you hit this it'll bend your spike buckle your knees and be the most painful injection....Quote:

You sure you can't pin your glute using a mirror lol??
I thought about glute in the morrow with my trainer watching the first time I know the area but my problem is I don't see how I can reach around pin hold and aspirtate spelt wrong sorry from phone
Quads i use the same general area pocket deep outside 45 deg
Just annoying how it's the only right leg doesn't make pinning fun knowing it will happen everytime
As for delts never tried or had one done there
Man I freaking hate hitting nerves like that! It's almost made me sick, when the whole muscle contracts and hurts like hell! Try to move over enough to get away from that nerve. My favorite place to pin is the upper outside quadrant in my glutes, almost in the hip. There's very few nerves there to worry about and it's always pain free for me. I use a 25g 1" needle that works great for me. I have to do that shot with one hand, but it's not hard at all. Just takes a bit of practice. Good luck bro!
After Nach's replies, I have nothing to add. Other than it happens to me, occasionally, in quads. I pull out, and move 1/4"...
Happened to me today pinning a deltoid with low volume tren - I just pushed it anyway but not fun, haha
Happens to me, too. I think that's just how the muscle responds sometimes. My Urologist's nurse assured me I'm not going to hit any nerves when I pin quads.
Sounds good just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me that's all everytime that side ugh!!
I'm gonna try a glute shot mysekf but wanna wait to see my trainer she he can help if I mess up , guessing it would be hard one handed and aspirtate somehow
Thanks for the feed back least I'm not the only one

I just don't feel comfortable doing it, I like to go slow and steady.
It takes me about 30 seconds from time pin touches skin, till the needles in deep enough for injection in quads.
I just like both eyes on it
I'm with you on that I only do glute shots if someone else can do it for me but I think I need to attempt it myself quads are nice but getting annoying lately not fun being scared to pin everytime lately cause you know it's going to spasmQuote:

It's just a bit out of the way.
However, doesn't matter if it's a bit skewed when injecting the glutes,
provided they ain't very small.
I've fucked up and injected almost horizontally into the glutes from the side,
or in other ways so that the inject was very close to the skin.
Just a tad uncomfortable, so quads it is mainly.
Muscular twitch in both glute and quads happens not that seldom, no problem at all. Remember to aspirate and don't hit the "glute nerve" and you'll be good.
Yeah quads seem safer over all just need to go lower down the leg maybeQuote:

This is what it looked like

Lol nice drawing I'm thinking maybe my right side damaged or something
Thx mate... I just back it out & change the angle ever so slightly or like you I'll pull the whole spike out then move a couple cm's lolQuote:

Most likely scar tissue(doesn't sound like you pin tris chest or quads all that much)...Quote:

I'd suggest try using other sites - they'll be virgin muscles for the most part so I'd pin what I'm going to work that day - idk if I shoot and get pip I'll hit that muscle hard which I usually work the muscle I pin anyway...
Only my right thigh ... never my left currently once every two weeks the same one gets hit , when I pin the right now problem with pressure or anything just get a spasm every single time.. I just pin generally the same area on the thigh .Quote:

I only pin thighs myself I've never pined any other area myself , glutes I wanna try solo but worried about reaching around
if I attempt a delt shot I use 1" to long? but rather do my glutes with 1 inch but they seem more risky is you miss
