Glute pin

[230isthegoal]

Started my first cycle 2 days ago.

Did first pin in glute. Everything sterile, 1ml test 200.

I don't have pain, but moreso the biggest knot I've ever had in my life. I can squat but my muscle where I injected at the top of my glute is swollen and one huge knot and when I sit down it's like I'm sitting on a muscle I blasted with one rep max for a month straight.

Any suggestions? It appears this is normal from what I've read?

Glute is not hot, just swollen. No bruising.

I've done Heating pad immediate after pin along with massage after pin. Seemed to help a little bit. But you do have some virgin muscle it's going to take a couple shots for your glutes to get use to the gear. The gear is oil based so it's harder for it to get dispersed throughout the muscle. Try the massage and the heat pad. That's my two cents

Make sure you take all your weight off of the Leg on side your injection
Un-flexed relaxed muscle

I took all weight off leg, sterilized everything, and also had my friend who gives shots and draws blood supervise

Hmmm... any swirls in the gear? What size pin are you using, length×ga.

[230isthegoal]

23g 1 1/2" bp syringe and needle. Swirls? No. as far as I'm concerned the gear quality and injection process was all done well. Just wondering what other people felt after a first pin. I tried asking my friend who does blood draws and shots for people but she apparently has never shot test e into her ass.

First pin ever, its kind of expected. It should improve the more you pin.

First time I ever pinned my glute with Sustanon....for the entire week it felt like someone had taken a massive swing at my ass with a baseball bat. No bruising or anything.....just really sore lol.....after the 2nd or 3rd pin per side, I barely felt it after.
I'm pretty sure your ok bro.....welcome to pinning.

So after 4 days my glute seems to have improved. It was swollen and sore as hell but today the swelling went down and movement was easier. I did another 1.25ml in the other glute this morning so we will see how the left cheek reacts haha

I think all of us had the same problem at one point.Wait till you do the quads

[Jonbana]

Trying injecting slow , don't jab in like a dart slowly go in... than take 1 minutes to inject the fluid lets build up

[230isthegoal]

i considered doing a quad last night but decided on my other glute instead. i think i would like to rotate more than two spots though so the thigh would be next. I just cant imagine doing a pin in my delt. seems like itd be a way worse knot than what i felt in my glute. although the first pin went well, id say the second yesterday went even better. not nervous, hand not shaky, less of a knot this time.

Learn to imagine it. Delts are easy and surprisingly painless, imho.

I went through the same thing just a few months ago. Put the needle in slow, inject slow and make sure you are not moving the needle around when it is in. Keep as steady as possible, after the injection put your alcohol pad over the injection site and massage it. When I started massaging it after it would barely get sore anymore, just try to get it all to absorb into the muscle. And dont worry, one time there was pain and swelling for over a week. I think it was partial gear and partial virgin muscle. Just rub it really good for about five minutes right after the injection next time and I think it will help you alot! As for the pain you have now, I found temporary relief by massaging the knot while I was in a hot shower, but this only helps til the next day and it will probably sore as hell again. Hope this helps you next time you pin. And you can take naproxen for the pain it helps with the swelling and the pain.

That's what I'm thinking. After you get used to it they become almost painless. Perhaps try a 25g 1 1/2"

I agree with what people said here going slow and massaging afterwards helps. Don't go too low on the glutes because you run the risk of irritating an injection site from movement and risk possible infection.

Me personally when I tried injecting my quads I got two bruises and it hurt for several days so I never did them again. I stick to SubQ in the abs.

I dunno, quads need a anatomically landmarks chart, but once you know were to go its literally painless.

Did this whole 15 weeks cycle (30 pins)
In quads, used 23g and 25g 1.5" spikes.

No pain but a few times hit nerves, but you get to know those spots and avoid them

I messed up and ordered 100 of those. My girlfriend hurts her fingers she has to push so hard on the plunger. Lol! If you do use them make sure the pins are screwed on hard! One blew off one time and it sounded like a gunshot! Scared the shit out of both of us and we both got covered in oil!

An easy way to self inject, in the glute, is to lay on your side on a bed. I found this easier because you can adjust how much push you give.

Also if it was a sensitive area or the oil is taking forever to inject you can pull the needle back 1/4 to a 1/2 an inch and it tends to go in easier without having to stick in a different spot.
