Injection question

[stronghooah]

Do I have to push the pin the entire way into my site? Im not very fat unless u count my stomach. Which im trying to change .

When I pinned my glute apparently I went too deep and I have some swelling and brusing.

[tomt45]

What size pins are you using? Are you sure you are pinning in the right spot on your glute? I use 25 ga 1" for my delts and quads and 23ga 1.5" for my glutes. Unless you have a super low bf% you should not have a problem pinning in your glutes with 1.5 in needles. But yes you should always push all the way in cause if you dont you might move a little and go into a vein. Believe me you dont want that. It is terrible. When you go all the way in you can hold it firm in one location and aspirate to make sure you are not in a vein.

[stronghooah]

I have 23ga 1in pins and 20ga 1.5in. I used the 1in pin for my first and ive been sore ever since. I'm sure it didnt help I fell on saturday, a day and a half before I started

[tomt45]

If you used a 1in pin in your glute the problem was not that you went to deep most likely you didn't go deep enough. I did that once with a glute injection. Does it feel like there is a little bubble under your skin where you pinned? If so the needle was not all the way in the muscle but in the subcutaneous tissue before the muscle. Next time use a 1.5" for you glute and make sure you are pinning in the right area. Use the 1" ones for you delts or quads.

The soreness and swelling will go down in a few days.

Also are you new to injections? Cause if you are you will get some soreness from your first few injections. The more you do it the less sore you will get. When I pin I make sure to go really slow on every injection. Like I literally take a minute or two to pin 1cc. I no longer get any soreness whatsoever from injections.

Also you more sore from different kinds of steroids. Winstrol hurts really bad. Test suspension really sucks. What are you using?

[stronghooah]

I am very new to this. It is my first cycle and yes it does feel that way. It feels like everything is tight and doesn't wanna move.

I'm doing a Sust cycle. I'm doing about 14 weeks.

[tomt45]

I did sust on my first cycle too and it did hurt kinda bad. Not sure if it was cause of the sust or my inexperience of giving injections. It is inevitable that you are going to get some soreness from injections especially on your first cycle. Have you done much research on proper injection procedure and just to know the right spots to hit? This site has some info or check out youtube. How much are you injecting?(volume) Since you are doing sust are you pinning every other day?(cause you should cause of the prop.)

It will get better. Go slow with your injections and make sure you are hitting the right spots.

[stronghooah]

I have researched a ton. Ive actually been doing it for the last six months deciding on if I really wanted to do it. I was sure I was in the right spot but maybe not.

Im doing delts for a while and seeing how that goes. im doing 1cc every five days.

That reminds me. I did my first inject at night and im wondering if there is any time to inject thats more beneficial than others?

[tomt45]

I don't think the timing in the day matters. I always just do it right when I wake up. If you were doing test e or c every 5 day injections would be ok. Since you are doing sust(which has test prop in it) you should be doing every other day injections.

[The Bear 79]

Wut r ur stats stronghooah?

[alexISthrowed]

I always push the pin all the way in. I have heard not to in case it breaks, I'm just careful lol.

[Bossman]

If you hit a vein, go through it, you may bruise and swell. This is pretty common. If you're shooting in your glute, 1" only for those with low BF, 1-1/2" would be better. You will not hit anything with 1-1/2" in the glute.

As Bear asked, what are you stats?
age
ht
wt
bf% est
years training.

And what is your cycle look like. How much each week. I see you said you're injecting every 5 days. sust is best EOD or at least no less then 2x per week. why every 5 days?

thats not true it old bro science

[gixxerboy1]

it probably hurts for a few reasons
1) sust because of the prop is sometimes painful people
2) virgin muscle.
3) possibly didnt do the injection correctly

and fyi i would not inject with that 20g 1.5 inch. Thats going to hurt. No need for a 20g for injection. Stick with 23 or 25g

[stronghooah]

I'm 26 ill be 27 in march.
5'8 roughly 185 not sure about bf though ill check after work.

Ive been training for years but never been able to keep the weight on. I served in the military and i always stay fit.

A far as the 20ga I actually wanted 23 but I got these instead not what I wanted.

I decided on every five days Because mondays and fridays are my off days from work

[tomt45]

Whats not true gixxer? Doing eod injection with sust or injection timing?

[Bossman]

thats not true it old bro science

OH No! I'm still on the bro science page. Gixxer, why shouldn't a compound with prop not be shot at least EOD. I do know quite a few that shoot Sust 2x per week and see fine results with no apparent sides.

I'm sure you know more then I. I learn stuff from your boy and im sure he got alot from you

its such a small amount of prop it really doesnt matter. Its in you either way so the prop is still working no matter how you inject.
I guess if you are very very sensitive it may help with sides to do eod to keep levels more stable.
I've done both and got no difference in sides or results

Once you're into the cycle a few weeks I really don't think it matters as much. But one of the things that is nice about sust is the prop. If shot eod for those first few weeks at least you're keeping somewhat of a stable balance IMO. But as you said, I know many that shoot 2x week and do just fine. Im so used to shooting ED I have no problem with frequent pinning but that's me.

Try to inject yourself after a hot shower when the muscles are softer and relaxed. Also if injecting into the glute, remember to inject in the outer top quadrant and always ASPIRATE! If you hit a vein, not fun! The bruising may be from the awkward angle of you having to inject yourself.
Best of luck, my friend.
