I’m a pussy? Quad injections

[Facecrash]

On trt and usually inject subq to avoid poking so many holes in my muscles. But now I’m blasting 2-3 times per year. Using test/deca /mast so can’t subq. Surgery on both shoulders so can’t possibly do glute injections as I’m as inflexible as a fuggin statue. So my only options are delts and quads.

But every time I shoot quads it hurts like balls. Tried 1/2 inch, 1 inch. Hurts going in and I almost always seem to hit a nerve/vain. And I sit there like a candy ass for like 10 mins before injecting. Am I an enormous pussy? I don’t mind getting in the ring and getting punched in the face for minutes at a time but when it comes to a quad injection my 3 year old is more of a man than me.

Anyone else have this?

Literally laughed out loud reading this. I’ve had labrum surgery on both shoulders and am like Frankenstein but still manage to hit my gluteus. Get exhausted doing it though and have broken of the top of a plunger and bent a needle in my ass (read a stupid article one time about ass fat being better at absorbing oils). As far as being a pussy, hell no you’re not. Takes a man to admit it and seek counsel. I don’t mind shoulders, don’t love quads. I find that if I look myself in the eyes in the mirror and tell myself to quit being a little bitch, it helps. It’s thats initial poke I don’t like. Once it breaks the skin, I’ll bury that fucker. Give it a a try. It’s a man’s game. You get in a cage, you can sure as shit pin delta, quads or whatever the fuck. Mind game. Just get your head right and get after it.

Once you get consistent and it’s not virgin ground, it’ll quit hurting eventually. Stay the course. I’m sure there’s stickies, or google articles and YouTube videos or whatever else, but in the end, ya just gotta do it. Bleed a little, so what. PIP? It’ll go away. Get your head right

I’ve had my best and worst shots in my quads. You have to find the sweet spot and it won’t hurt at all. Literally there are points that are pain free. On the other hand, I’ve also hit a nerve and had it hurt like a mofo, but much more rarely. In general it’s a good place for me.

[Fiskevatten]

What about Lats and/ or Ventro mate?
I can't inject in quads either, my legs just jump off and take a bus to miami...

[HoldMyBeer]

I had the same issue. The top outter portion of your quad is a big area and it's a tiny pin. Keep trying new places until you find some spots that work and remember them

Z-Track the injection or switch to chest/calves

[diesel101]

I'm a gambler so I don't mind quads, you never know if its going to go smooth or you are going to kick the counter top off.

[kelkel]

I injected quads once.

Once.

[Proximal]

Was a sub-Q guy like yourself, but had to make the switch. Seeing that 1.5” needle disappear into your flesh can be a little tough (though NOT the sign of being a pussy, it’s called intelligence actually as it’s not something we naturally should be doing), but keep at it, it gets easier.

Every so often I will nick a tiny nerve & it makes me jump.

Generally where the pockets sit, almost dead center has been my sweet spot.

Delts with a 5/8” are becoming my favorite. But, I’m missing most of my left RC, so my wife doesn’t mind pinning my right Delt for me. Funny thing she seems to think she has to divide the injection into smaller doses over multiple spots . . . . . .

[CA_DXB_85]

Bro, u r not alone...
I fucking hate injecting quads and have been doing it weekly for my mast prop injections and it sucks.
The area is filled with veins and nerves and I'm nervous before I inject every time. Tbh though, it only hurt once and the was the first time and I could not walk for shit for 2 days then I went and had a legs day at the gym lol.
I feel like the injection spot gets bruised for me almost every other time... I stopped last week and now just rotating between the glutes as I am nearly done this cycle

Once.

Well DUH, lol!

How can you avoid a vein?

[redz]

I only do quad shots. I can touch my skin now with a needle and tell if I’m near a nerve. I do the top of my quads.

[timetolift5]

I hated quad shots for the longest cause I always hit a nerve or vein every damn time. Then I tried injecting right outside where my pocket would end if I had jeans on and haven’t had a single issue since.

This. Literally within the first millimeter of the needle going in I can tell if it's going to be good or bad. Anywhere in my body, generally. If it hurts going in, it's also going to bleed. Guess there are more nerves around blood vessels.

You must be a pussy! LOL. Just kidding.

I’m exactly the same way. Even with slin pins. Try injecting where your pant pockets are. I now do it all the time there. I also inject daily so I use slin pins.

Never tried slins, I always use 25G 1”

...so can’t possibly do glute injections....So my only options are delts and quads.

Quads only hurt the first 15 or 20 times, after that you'll be fine

I love biceps, chest, and quads. Delts are hard for me unless is a small amount, <1cc, same for lats. Some oils take FOREVER to inject (25G 1"), holding still shooting delts or lats for 120 - 200 seconds is hard... chest is SOOOOooo easy. Glutes are nearly impossible for me to hold long enough for me to inject everything through such a small needle.

Basically my TRT doses (.5cc) goes in delts and lats. My bigger runs go in quads, chest, and biceps.

Has anyone ever seen a study on uptake/absorption rates per muscle group?

[Proximal]

Just remembered, one of my first quad injections, nicked a tiny nerve and pulled it out so quick the syringe slipped out of my hand.

Swear to God, looked down - it stuck to the outside of my calve like a dart. I figured if I could laugh at that, I’d be ok.

I would’ve went ahead a pinned right where it landed in that case lol. Awesome story man

Ventrogluteal injections are now the preferred method amongst many healthcare professionals. The tissue around your ventrogluteal site is very thick and far removed from any major blood vessels or nerves.

[Huher]

I was a glute guy. Did a very long cycle with 200 weeks 3-4 pins every week and wanted to give some rest to my glutes, so I started hitting quads.
The first time was oh fuck, I've nearly fainted. I've done a 18 week cycle then with 3 pins/week all quads. You can get used to it, now I don't feel anything bad at all. Btw I hate glute shots, had to rotate myself to a position that was really uncomfortable, and had to stop like in every 0.2ml, because I couldn't even breathe - it gets really annoying when you're trying to fit 3.5-4mls in your ass, and it takes like 20 mins standing on nearly one leg with a needle in your butt. Now I just sit on my bed and go quads.

Where exactly is the venteoglutte? I've tried looking it up and think it's more on your side just below hip bone but a little scary venturing that far off the traditional glute area. I've heard horror stories about people hitting the sciatic.

I tried injecting there and couldn't.
I inject everywhere but there.
Doctor tries to poke me there and I will bite him.

Too many feely things there

[i_SLAM_cougars]

I’m becoming a fan of injecting into whatever muscle groups I’m going to work that day. Not sure how much it really helps with anything, except pump. Goooooodd pump.

[powerliftmike]

You are trying the vastus lateralis correct? It is the outside of the quad. I never liked the quads too much either, but way better than calves or biceps. Glutes, delts, triceps the best.

[Mooseman33]

fuck calves big fella. I couldnt walk for a week. I forgot to change the loading barrell(18g) and shot with it into virgin muscle.

I would inject into my neck before I ever did calves again.

Calf injections are fun ^_^ and if you injector suspension they are even more exciting

[i_SLAM_cougars]

I agree with this. Calves are a weak point for me, the more shit I can get into them, the more pump, the more stretch the better

[Facecrash]

Ok so i really read all of these and then keep wanting to ask the guy who said to inject into my chest to either get some help before he dies or post a video on how or why you would/could ever do this. I’m 185 right now how would I inject into my cheeeeest without injecting steroids into my fuggin heart or hitting a chest bone. Pls stop

Also baby cows?? How why would calves be better than quads? I’m gonna just have my wife inject in my glutes you guys are sick

Injecting your chest is only terrifying the first couple times. I use a 1' 25g, drive it into the muscle about 3/4 of the way. Never had a problem, doesn't hurt... Rarely ever bleeds. I'll do 2.5cc's without missing a beat.

I've seen a few videos out there, should be anything Google.

I wouldn’t worry about the heart or a rib.

But a long needle too deep through a shallow pec? IF it penetrates between a rib, you could have a collapsed lung - that is a legit concern.

Update I hit my quad with mast prop yesterday. I stared at my leg for 20 mins then did a z track and felt nothing! Today a little sore but so easy. Wtf

I've been doping this 20+ years and still cant do quad injects. Too many nerves and veins in my quads. I will stick to glutes and delts.

I hear you. I’m the same way.... try injecting the upper part of your quad where your pant pockets are. I can do it there.

Maybe every 10th time or so, I might ding a little nerve, but this area has been a no-brainer even for a newbie like me.

But damn, I am loving delt and pecs now.

[Hoss34]

I pin quads all the time. Like some other members said there is a sweet spot. I know some people like to sit down with their leg at a 90 degree angle, I do not like that. It seems it tightens up my muscle fibers too much.

I tend to stand on the leg I'm not pinning and slightly bend the leg I am pinning keeping it as relaxed as possible. I prefer to pin at the largest portion of my quad.

The closer I go to my knee the more prone I am to crystallization (I don't know if this is a "steroid " term per say, but that's what I call it.

I've tried numerous times, numerous ways...just not a spot for me to inject.

[Hoss34]

Sorry to dig this out of a shallow grave, been away for a while. You delt guys, what length pin are you using? This is something I want to try out. Thanks
