I used to pin my glutes, and loved it. But it's such a pain in the ass to reach all the way around so I started with quads and I loved it. Now this problem. Another thing is that I bleed on every single injection. I aspirate everytime, but when I pull out the needle blood pours out. ugh

I like hitting bis but I get sore for like 3 days after. bis are my favorite spot though. If I'm sore though my workouts suffer. Especially since I pin 2x per week, I'm always sore.

Another thing I do no is I dont stab. I know it sounds weird but I put the pin in SLOW. I mean I do it SLOW SLOW and 99% of the time I dont even feel it break the skin. If I come close to a nerve I just STOP for a few seconds then go again slow and it seems to move out of the way. I have never had a problem since doing this, before I hit a never ever now and again; not much fun.
I do go really slow cuz if I stab I tweak out. But 1x per week fluctuates too much so I have to do 2x per week.

Yeah I bet this is it. I can literally hear popping noises as if I am breaking through tendons or something.

idk I am really hesitant to hit delts cuz if they get any more messed up I won't be able to lift at all. I'll stay away. As for the pecs I think I will try it. Good suggestion thanks.

I now pin chest lats n glutes, all fine

Chest is great to do urself

Lats u wont feel at all if sum1 dus them for u
I'll do chest next time and see how it goes. Hopefully that is the new spot. Kinda pulp fiction though haha. Can't do lats cuz I can't reach and I don't want anyone else to pin me.

If I go back to glutes I'll have to order more needles cuz I only have 5/8 25g right now. I don't have much bf so it's easy to get into the muscle. I like to pin the tear drop of my quad the most, but it always gets sore afterwards. Anyway thanks for the suggestions, I'll hit chest on thursday.
