How to not loose gear on delt injects?

ad

Is there anyway around this? Each time I pull out of my delts after letting the pin sit there for 10 seconds, blood/ gear pours out till i can put my finger on it and hold pressure. Feel like im loosing .5ml each time and im only pinning 1mil. Im using 25g 5/8", but I seriously dont think I should go any bigger I think I'd be going too deep since my shoulders are not huge, and ive only pinned my shoulders twice. Any suggestions?

I use a 1" and rest my elbow/arm in something that is equal to my shoulder height. It contracts the delt; giving me a bigger/thicker target.

this takes dexterity but with practice you'll get it. Stretch your skin and hold, poke yourself (keep holding), inject(keep holding), pull the needle out and release the skin. theres a thin layer of fat that kinda stretches with your skin, so when you release is slides back over the muscle and makes a seal basically! at least thats how i understand it, i'll look for the link

I was having the same problem but when I was pinning my glutes. I leave it in longer mabe 30 sec to a full min and I pull the pinn out fast which dramaticly helps for me.

Go with the 1"; I had the same issue with 5/8". In addition the placement and rotation frequency has a lot to do with the blood coming out. The ztrack helps also but it can be a bitch depending on your flexibility

EXCELLENT as usual! I wish I were able to make the skin taut when I self inject

I think most guys use 1" in the delt

I use 22g 1-1/2 I go all the way in and even push deeper just to make sure it's in there. I let it sit for a few seconds before I remove the pin. I might dribble a lil blood but no oil.

You could use a 1" no problem bro, even 1-1/2" depending on the mass in your delt. Are you burying the 5/8"? When I use a 5/8", I push it in so that it presses against my skin and pushes it in like a half inch.

What if that needles snaps of bro?! you'll have to pull a ricky bobby and dig it out with a knife! haha
