Pinning help

[base4291ball]

Hey all,

I'm about to start a cycle up here soon and to start this thread I have a question about pinning test-e.
I have 23g-1" needles and want to pin in glutes. Is 1" long enough to pin in glutes?

Thanks!

Besides the fact your way to young and unless you have high expectations of playing in the major leagues. Depends on BF, if your under 15% you can probably use 1"

Most research will say 1.5 as there is more fat to pass through to get to the muscle however I have no personal experience I only pin my quad.

[crazy mike]

Being too young, well at this point that just may be moot. I will answer the Q's. You can use a 1" no problem unless you are blatantly FAT.

I use 22G 1-1/2" so I go deep. Sometimes I get sore, too sore because of the frequency I pin so I'll use a 23G 1" for my glutes.

Shoulders for me w/water base 25G 5/8" in my quads I use a 23G 1" . ...crazy mike

I use a 1" 25g and plug 3+ cc's ew.. so yeah, your good.

I to use a 5/8 25g in my shoulders like cm. 2+ cc's ew. Ive never had pip in glutes or shoulders even at this amount. Depends on the quality of your gear too, steady hand ect ect. .

[base4291ball]

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I'm actually 23 almost 24, have slightly low t for my age & I have been checked for growth plates and they fused at 21. I hit puberty @ 15 and have been 6 foot since then. (Just to get the age thing out the way. My profile says I'm 21 or 22 but I was born in '90.

Anyways I'm around 16-17 % bf but have a pretty lean backside (if there is such a thing). Is 1" to long for delt?

Thanks!

[tgunn]

No you can definitely use 1" as most do..

[base4291ball]

Well that's where experience comes in. I can't see your body, I don't know how thick or the size of your Delts. So ya get experience with your own body. I can use any size and go as deep or shallow s I want. So many people use the 1" on everything. That's a personal choice and your body will dictate.

If you go to deep and hit something you'll know. You will get over any pain from hitting something. Get it . ....crazy mike

Okay thanks vet, I appreciate it. And as for hcg the spot for that is a pinch of belly skin w/ a slin pin. How many gauge is that, like 30 or what?

1" is fine

Personal preference: 18ga 1.5" to draw & 1" 23ga to inject(anywhere)

Tried a few others and this combo worked out best.


You will learn over time that shooting in the ass is not all it's cracked up to be. I always thought it was best until I started using other spots. Tri's and delts are always my choice.

Yeah I think my first virgin pin will be in delt w/ a 23g-1".

[johnnymctrance]

I have used 23g 1.25'', i dont put it all the way in so (only about 1'') im sure one is is grand

[AnabolicBoy1981]

if your lean, like 12% or under 1" is ok

[base4291ball]

if your lean, like 12% or under 1" is ok

You're saying 1" is okay where? In the glute?

[base4291ball]

Yeah I could try that out too! Just waiting on hcg then ill be g2g

[crazy mike]

Please read, YES it is ok and you can push in for some more, if need. BUT I've told you that I use 1" and 1-1/2" in my glutes. ...crazy mike

Yeah I know you said that just wanted another opinion from another non-newbie. Thanks again though crazy, your input is always much appreciated.

[Sgt. Hartman]

Unless you're going through a lot of fat 1" is fine everywhere. That's all I use is 1", glutes, delts, pecs lats, tris, etc.

As long as you get it into the thick part of the muscle you're fine.

I'm around 16% bf but it's misleading because it's all in my abdominal area and kidney. My ass is pretty lean along with my arms and shoulders. Thanks for the additional input sarge.

[base4291ball]

Thanks for all the input gentleman (and ladies, if any)

[base4291ball]

Will you be able to feel if you go deep enough and are in muscle? Got all my goodies and supplies, g2g, I'm about to start next week so I'm trying to figure out which muscle will lose it's virginity first lol

Can a virgin delt take a ml?

[< <Samson> >]

Can a virgin delt take a ml?

Mine did, I started pumping 1.5ml right off the bat. . . 1.5 in each

[austinite]

Can a virgin delt take a ml?

Yes, virgin to needles or otherwise, there's no difference. "Virgin Muscle" as it is referred to generally is bogus bro science. No such thing.

I guess so

It's just that you get used to more volume and the pain that comes with it.


Kinda wonder what's the most volume a muscle can take?


Most I have taken was slightly over 2ml in one shoulder.

[austinite]

Well, discomfort from volume has everything to do with the size of the muscle being injected. Discomfort from injecting into a "virgin muscle" is merely poor injection technique. Those fibers are no different because they've never been injected.

[< <Samson> >]

Those fibers are no different because they've never been injected.

I would think they get used tot he stretch from the injected oil volume. Maybe, I dunno


Side note, how fast does the oil actually absorb into the muscle?

Depends on the ester
