    Pin Site

    Found the video thread of Injection critique interesting, got me thinking about pin sites. While the glute is traditionally the preferred site, it seems that more and more I'm reading about the quad and the shoulder.

    Is there any science behind using an alt site like the quad or shoulder? I've heard many different tales, like if you shoot your shoulder the upper body will build quicker, and so forth.

    What advantages have we seen out there from using different sites, why would you not stay with the traditional glute site? It's packed with absorbing muscle.

    I chose the thigh; mainly it's just a matter of convenience.

    IMO the location of the injection has nothing to do with gaining size in that particular muscle. I have shot delts in a cycle and i have tried without using delts. I saw the same gains to them in both

    Clearly your having stellar muscle growth in those two areas. Do you subscribe to increased muscle growth in pin site? Why have you chose those two spots for your site? Don't hear too much about bicep sticks.

    where are your sites? and what's the main reason you choose the sites you choose?

    No you wont get anymore growth from where you pin, if you did i would have an arse the size of the UK.

    I prefer pinning my arms and delts, i struggle turning around for the glutes and i hate the quads, i seem to have alot of pain in that area.

    Exactly the sites i mainly use are due to personal preference and ease of injection.

    I love quads, glutes are ok but getting harder for me, delts give me problems at times and shot volume doesnt always allow for them, pecs are good (easy to see and use two hands), never tried calves and probably never will, bis have multiple heads making them a good choice, tris preferred by some but not me.

    When you get into ED injections you have to use more spots.

    20 yrs ago when I did my share of the juice I used to inj in the glutes and quads, now on TRT I go with the delts. For some reason my glutes and quads are more sensitive now than before? 100% delts for me, they are easy to see, easy to hit, etc.
