pinning leg

[blksavage]

I'm getting ready to pin my quad first time with quad should I stick the pin straight in or at 45 degree angle? ? I'm just tired of hitting the same spots. I'm using 22 gauge 1 inch and half

[cebby1985]

Might be painful using that size and length pin.

[blksavage]

ill take it I just want to know exactly where to hit

[Tigershark]

I use a 1 inch 23 guage and te first time is a little painful because your head gets into it. After that though I think it's one of the easiest places to pin.

[blksavage]

just did it nothing to it all I feared I might hit a vein or a nerve but no blood or spams so thats good right?

[BlueWaffle21]

^^^^ Exactly where did you go? I'm going to try this tomorrow and I'm pretty nervous about it!! Did you go straight in? I know the whole a hand up from the knee and a hand down from the hip but how far laterally did you go?

[binsser]

it should be just under half way of the white stripe on his shorts! lol

[Capebuffalo]

You just pinned your quad with a 22?.....you are a savage. My leg spasmed when I saw that.

[scorpion62]

You could go to howtodoInjections.com it gives you pics on where to inject

that's what i use for my quads,
and for my glutes, i'm 1.5" x 23

back to OP's question.

to get to 1" deep, you push it straight in, not at an angle, which would give you a more shallow depth

[blksavage]

I pushed it in all the way mid quad very slow

[ghettoboyd]

i like to pin the quad on the sides rather than the top...

[stpete]

Put the bottom of your hand on your hip, fingers pointing toward the floor. The end of your fingers should be about mid thigh. That's where i inject.

[blksavage]

the side huh I never tried that I think ill give that a go next pin day what if you hit your i.t. band

[blksavage]

or is that too far to the side

[AD]

the side huh I never tried that I think ill give that a go next pin day what if you hit your i.t. band

Go a bit anterior to the iliotibial band. But still at the level of the mid thigh.

[blksavage]

nice ill hit that thursday

[BlueWaffle21]

Just hit quad today, zero problems!!!

[blksavage]

nice what size pin did you use and where st did you hit it? I was thinking of trying the bicep, calf or pec next I never hit either of those

[Capebuffalo]

nice what size pin did you use and where st did you hit it? I was thinking of trying the bicep, calf or pec next I never hit either of those

Strongly suggest you do not pin the calf.

[blksavage]

why not? ? I doubt ill do it it took me a while to hit my quad

[nooby]

Visualize between your hip and knee into three quadrants. You should inject in the middle quadrant.


Hip

... <-----Inject here
____


Knee

[blksavage]

thx nooby. thats exactly where I hit I like your visual aid though thats smart thinking

[BlueWaffle21]

nice what size pin did you use and where st did you hit it? I was thinking of trying the bicep, calf or pec next I never hit either of those

I did a 23 gauge 1" and I did a hand down from my hip 3" laterally. I was thinking pec as well!!

[Capebuffalo]

why not? ? I doubt ill do it it took me a while to hit my quad

For some reason calfs are a different beast. They always get tight and painful to walk. It does however make them feel huge. But painful.

I dont like quads for injection myself. 20+ yrs and I still have trouble shooting there.

[blksavage]

so what do you use? especially when you need to rotate injection sites

[Scabtree]

^^^ And, is it difficult to pin your gluts by yourself? Do you need two hands to aspirate?

[AD]

if you count each quad as 2 sites, directly on the front (rectus femoris), and to the outside (vastus lateralis), that gives you 4 pin sites on both quads. adding both gluts, and both delts, thats 8 sites. even if you pin daily, you'll only need to pin the same site less than once a wk.

which means, there is really no need for exotic areas like calves or pecs.

[blksavage]

ok no calves or pecs.atleast I right say neck lol

[blksavage]

I meant "didn't". why do tricep injections give such annoying pain even after injection

[bodybycookiesandcake]

i getmore pain from quads then i do delt, bi or tri. bi's are actually painless for me.

was the pain in your quads only for the first few pins on virgin muscles? or did it persist even after repeated use?

[bodybycookiesandcake]

was virgin muscle

but i still get some pain now, but my legs dont relax easy so its just micro trama i think err so yes after repeated cycles quads always feel lik ei have DOMS after an inject about 9 hours after i shoot up for 2-3 days

[blksavage]

mine too feels like a minor charlie horse

[Coolhand5599]

I will have to try this

[cb714]

I go a little above mid quad, a little to the outside. Never had an issue pinning there... Hell, I hardly bleed when I pin there. If I go a little lower I tend to go through veins and it bleeds.

Im using 25gauge 1" to pin and 22 gauge to draw.
