    Never pinning quads again!!

    I'm using 1'' 25g needles and everytime I try and pin my quads, I hit a nerve of a vein. Do you have any tips?! I did try different spots on the quads but always hitting something along the way.

    So far, I pinned delts, lats, pects, glutes with no problems.

    You're doing something wrong, either you're nervous or not relaxing your quad when you're pushing the pin in. Im 8 weeks in and pinning quads and have only hit a nerve once so far.
    One common mistake which i used to make as a newb a couple years ago is when i aspirated and saw a tiny drop of blood i would think that im in a vein, when really if you're in a vein and aspirated you would continuesly suck in blood.

    Well I did lats, pects, glutes, delts without any issues. When I hit a nerve, I almost passed out. I felt hit everywhere in my body.

    Quads are my preffered injection site. Maybe you are going in to the wrong spot. I have very muscular legs and they seem to love absorbing up oil.

    If you're hitting those areas regularly i wouldn't sweat the quads.

    Try checking out an anatomy chart or howtodoinjections.com for
    more direction on how to inject the quads.

    Literally my favourite site to inject. I have hit some nerves in the past, but you quickly get a feeling of where to inject and where to avoid. Hard to pass up on two injection sites that you can pump as much as 4mL into.
