Injection technique

[kronik420]

can the gear fall out of the syringe when you change the needle?

[AnabolicDoc]

I would just add that when using anything other than an insulin syringe, one must make sure to account for the head space in the syringe. What i mean by this is when a 3ml or 5ml syringe is fully filled to the 1ml line, there is actually about 1.2ml of solution in the syringe. Eventhough there is some solution left after completely depressing the plunger, this is minimal. To accurately measure 1ml, you want to make sure the plunger is at the 1ml line but that the meniscus of the solution when held upright (with the needle up) is at the first uppermost line in the syringe, which is usually a complete/full line.

If you hold it upside down, yes, it will drip out especially if water based.

When changing needles it's best to hold the syringe upright and draw some air into the syringe before changing the needle. This will limit waste as well.

You can do delts with it, but go in with whole needle! Not just 2/3!

Btw happy first pinning

I would avoid biceps and triceps with a 1.5 inch needle unless of course you're very muscular and large. You can always stick the needle in only 1 inch but when you depress the plunger there is a natural tendency to further insert the needle. This is especially so when self injecting.

Also, deep within the biceps and triceps are some larger vessels that you want to avoid. I mention this bc as I'm sure you know it is always preferable to avoid penetrating even smaller vessels and you should never inject into a vessel. Here are some images (the first two are front, biceps views and the last two are rear, triceps views):









Good luck with your first pin!

Lunk1, your a bloody legend as we say down here in Aus.
Last 2 pins followed your directions and not a tinny bit of pain,
Prior to that the injection site was swollen and red and extremely painful for at least 3 days.
Your a life saver.

ok heat it is then. thanks again mr lunk

work through it? i can't stand straight lol, even sitting down and standing up is a chore lol...

[kronik420]

do you think it was from the volume of the pin into virgin muscle?? 2.5ml into quad..

i guess ill find out, every pin of test c from here on in is only 1 ml.... thank fk

2.5 isn't much for quad inject. Could be combo of virgin muscle reacting to trauma and compound as well as some shaking that no doubt occured during a first pin. Own it like a badge of courage my friend (but do keep an eye on it)

[Soar]

2.5ml into your quad shouldn't be that bad. Give it a few weeks your pip will be next to none

[kronik420]

in a few weeks ill be onto the prop lol

but it is pharm grade.. so shouldn't be that bad, ill only buy pharm grade gear..

[kronik420]

oh yea and with all my nerves i kinda forgot to aspirate lol... ill remember to do it next time..

[Soar]

Eeek heard prop pip is way worse lol, I've only tried pharm grade so far. Finishing my cycle with a ugl bottle of test e tho

i heard that too lol, but at least buy then it won;t be going into virgin muscle...

[Sick_beard]

I have 27g 1/2" needles what's the best sites to use these for? I've tried it once for delts, it seemed to work just fine but I probably wouldn't risk it again.

Your first course and you're only injecting 2W. I would stick to alternating glutes. I would not bother playing with site locations until you are injecting more frequently.

[kronik420]

thank you mr lunk and everyone else on this board for all the info, i don;t know what id be doing if it wasn't for you guys, probably be still popping dbols and skittles lol..
