Taking my lumps

But then I started using 28 gauge insulin syringes. I believe they’re also .5”. Which actually goes deep enough to at least get through my subcutaneous fat even on my ass. I just make sure to really push it in to get an extra 1/4” or so deeper. If that made sense.

I started doing delt shots using those 28s and I haven’t looked back since. Alternating both cheeks and both delts doing EOD injections so the volume is small.

Prefer delts with 28x.5” though. I feel like it really goes IM as opposed to my ass since it’s a s short needle.

How often you injecting?

For cruising once a week…blasting currently and 3X a week.

That’s my thinking too Kel, I don’t have all day. 27 might be a minute…

Gonna put quads back in the rotation and stay with the 25’s I think. Lumps have been much better lately (jinx)

Yup. No way for me either. Did quads once or twice maybe back in the day. Ended up with terrible PIP whihc I never get with glutes or delts. Plus I think it’s much easier to really fuck yourself up in the quads. Lotsa nerves and veins and arteries so if you don’t know what your doing that’s a recipe for disaster

I’ve since changed my mind and would like to strike “pinning my quads” from the record.

There’s a reason I stopped doing them and you fine lads have reminded me

Hahahaha

Will the forum please acknowledge that “pinning quads” has been struck from the record.

Thank you. Carry on.

What am I missing? I've only done trt in my quads. Is it the volume of a cycle that's bad in the quads? When i first started trt injections, i was doing the full 1ml vial in one does with no issues.

My plan was once my bf was back down where it needs to be, I'm doing a test c cycle and never thought twice about utilizing a different injection site.

Quads are easy for me, but they can be too easy. I think some people find them difficult due to hitting nerves, etc. and some guys overuse them and develop scar tissue.

Ok. I think I hit a nerve once. Sharp pain...not unbearable though. And I made a note of the spot so I haven't hit it again since. I've found that if I inject into the rectus femoris I have yet to have any issues. Yes, I had to Google the name. Lol

You had me at “rectus”

I’ve been relatively lucky over the years with quads, but the times I’ve missed have felt like being kicked in the leg by a horse for a week, and bled like a gunshot victim

**Fresh2death** · 01-21-2023, 07:17 PM

Lately only my left glute has been getting sore. Maybe that nurse is sticking her finger in and twisting it to the left!

So my dose yesterday, left quad and I hit what I assume was a blood vessel. Not the first time I'd done that, but the worst I guess. Hurt pretty good. I pulled the pin out and it bled quite a bit. Swabbed another spot on the same quad, pain again. lol Not as bad...no bleeding, but I gave up on that leg and moved to the right leg. No issues.

I never thought hitting a blood vessel would hurt like that....or maybe I hit a nerve??
