couldnt inject into quad

ad

on my first cycle test e 250 bi weekly. just tried to pin the quad because i was thinking about doing a test prop cycle next go around and the pain inserting the needle was too much, didnt even inject had to pull out and go back to glute. i did legs today also. is it possible to do a prop cycle in glutes only without it being too much? or should i just deal with quad injection. any input would be appreciated thanks.

I inject the Rectus femoris now as the muscle seems less dense than my vastus lateralis which started to get pretty dense and the pip got worse, a bit like pinning your calves which tend to be very dense.

Its the front muscle in your thigh and is really easy to pin, basically as long as its muscle you can pin it. The position is super easy, no stretching or mirrors required, you can do it sitting, standing or lying down too.

It's the same with all my pinning spots when they really harden up with muscle it hurts more to pin.

i have successfully pinned my quads. i was shooting too low i guess a lot more nerves. went higher towards my hip (used end of palm to finger tip method) and all is good. less PIP there then there was in my glutes so its good stuff.. now if only i could put on some damn weight im stuck around 184 for the past 4 weeks and im on week 11 in my cycle ..verrrrrrrry frustrating.

I have to agree with fitcpl everyones anatomy is different and everyones pain tolerance is dif. Another thing comes into play is how the prop was made either with EO n wat kind of oil. Personally i never had a problem with prop but with the first time i used tren ac in my quad i couldnt walk for a while lol. After time i got use to the pain n by now it doesnt bother me. Are u doin just goin to do a prop cycle or stacking it with something else?

Make sure the muscles are relaxed as much as possible. Try this: if you inject into you right quad stand up with your weight on your left leg and your right leg slightly off the ground (just letting it hang). Then bang and keep leg relaxed. Also stick closer to the upper quad. Good luck.

cool thanks for the help im gonna try and just push through it on my next injection and see how it goes. i think i was trying to pin a little low as well.

I have a birthmark on my quad and as long as I'm within an inch of it it's pain free any where else the pain is intolerable! I've tried to power through it but the pain just gets worse! Thank god for " sweet spots "
I also find the higher up the muscle is less "grainy" feeling which is much smoother for me, no turning or force need to penetrate ( no homo )

quads are painless usually. the first part braking through the skin anyways. It seems like I always hit a nerve or something and my muscle twitches alot. I used to be able to pin 3cc in my quad no problem.but know I cant do any ,its like my muscle got sick of being poked

Just get at it bro! It's like getting a tattoo. At first ur all nervous and the first second it's like wow! But after u get ur zone it's like "Tattoo my whole Body!!" next thing u know ur Gunna look forward to pinning. It will be ur alone time. I've got a ritual now. If there's a chance my ritual gets broken I'm a GRUMPY BASTARD! It's my meditation time now, I love it.

Before running my first cycle, I was pinning b12 to practice for a cycle. I originally planned on pinning my glutes but the first pinn I tried in the glutes was painfull. Mostly the initial prick of the pinn was what was hurting me. I was just bein a puss. So I tried quads and it wasn't that bad after the first 4 pinns. After the initial 4 I was able to pinn my quads like they were budda. Some things that help me pinn with less pain are to take a hot shower rite before pinning. This will help being more steril and for me it eases the pain for the initial plunge and pip. Heat the oil. Pin very slowly and steady. The first time I pinned quads I wasnt steady enough with pushing the b12 in and injected with a kinda jerky motion with my thumb and it stung like a bitch. This was my first time pinning ever so I wasn't use to pushing b12 through a syrenge. The most important thing that I think will help you is to relax that muscle and give it a coule hard squeezes rite before steralizing with alcohol. This helps me derasticly. I do this on my glutes too.

get use to rotation bro... its abit uncomfortable at first but if you want to pin with the big boys you need to suck it up... pretty soon you'll be looking forward to it... quads you want to go more to the side, if you drop your hands to your side and pin right around where your middle finger drops

(may want to throw delts into the mix too, you mine as well get used to it)

Quads are by far my favorite pinning site. Pinning quads in my experience has been virtually painless. You may have experienced pain if you didn't give the alcohol you wiped the site down with time to dry. I've done that before, and the second I tried to stick the needle in I felt a searing pain, and had to pull out (ya ya I know twss). Some tips for pinning quads that have been useful in my experience: 1.) Make sure you insert the needle at a 90 degree angle. 2.) Place one hand at the knee and one at the hip, the area between should be fair game as far as where to pin. 3.) If you're a little nervous or apprehensive the muscle you're pinning may be tensed up so make sure you're relaxed and the muscle is as well.

Upper side thigh, hand distance away from hip
Deal with it and go hard, Quads great site

Yea quads are my favorite for sure ,but i know what you mean it was a little hard to commit at first . But yeah listen to hard core go to you tube and research how to do it and how to do it correctly . But once you get used to you'll love it ,and then you can rotate through the others
