Slowly pinning vs jabbing.
A few months ago I saw a video posted somewhere about how to inject IM. The doctor who was doing the IM injection took three little practice jabs then jabbed it right in.
At first I was like what the fuck I would never do that, but later I'm like eh might as well try it and see. I mean if doctors are doing it somewhere I might as well try it. Now I'm only using 28g needles and I'm not going IM and not that there really is that much pain when injecting anyway, but seriously I couldn't feel a fricken thing.
I was so impressed I just jabbed myself a few more times just to see if maybe I just got lucky or something and still no pain. I literally have like 8 little drops of blood in random locations on my quad because I was so impressed.
Anyone tried doing that with a 25g needle?

I go slow and deep with a prolonged release... then rapidly pull out.
Like sex... It takes about 5 minutes.
Well played. And I agree, slow pin, quick withdraw.
I jab my ass but all other locations I go slow. I used to jab quads and delts but stopped that for a couple reasons. 1 I bruised up my quad pretty good one time while jabbing. The other reason is I hit a nerve in my biceps one time while pushing slow and like many others here, I didn't want to find out what that pain would feel like if I had jabbed it lol.
tread-mI'm jabbing myself in the forehead now because you're right, I love this shit. Just took 2 temple shots as I was writing that, umm, not recommended. No brother, I just push my pins in and with subq there is no poke with the push in vs pop for me so push those in as well. I may be a little abrupt about it and not necessarily slow but still more of a push in than jab I guess.
Supernova283Eh once again to each his own. I'm loving this shit and until I find a real reason not to do it I'll stick with jabbing.
Not really looking for recommendations as it's working well for me, just asking whether or not others do it.
I know you're a guru and all and I mean no offense, but if it works for me why would I go back to doing something I deem inferior just because someone told me they didn't recommend it?
Not trying to be a dick just logical. Worst case scenario I hit a nerve and it hurts a little bit. I'm not a pussy, I flip butterfly knives as a hobby and my slice my hands up all the time when learning new tricks.
I'll stick to my jabbing.
angusIt sure seems like it is reflective of how soft the spot is that you are pinning. I have done it both ways and much rather the slow and easy way. But I noticed when I first started, jabbing was easier. I attributed this later to how easily it penetrates, because now that there is less fat and the skin is tight without flexing the slow and easy is painless. When I was soft and spongy the slow method hurt more cause I needed a lot more pressure to break through the skin.
Supernova283Pretty sure I'm not soft and spongy.
I guess to each his own though. I definitely prefer the jabs to the slow now though.
slow is the way too go..ive tryed both (hit nerve fast) but slow just seems to be less painful and i can feel the needle actually go into the muscle, which sits easier with me after the inject, knowing i was in the muscle.
CleyonSlow and steady! The one time I tried jabbing I hit a nerve (sciatic) I will NEVER do that again! OUCH!
I am a jabber all the way! 23G in the quads, delts and glutes! Going slow fucks me up mentally.
Yeah slow and steady bro. Ive never been able to do it like they reccommend, i.e. fast as you end up hitting shit too fast. The worst feeling is hitting something and having your quad or ass spasm with the pin in there. No fun.
Haaaa! Pulling out a bent 23 is freaky! Been there...bought the shirt.
Yeah fuck that. That is no fun at all dude.
When you hit a nerve I think you will change your mind. Your doctor has a better vantage so he can plan his entry a little better than we can....
Supernova283Well I mean I was using a 28g 1/2 inch so not too big, but I jabbed myself like 9 times in random locations just because it was totally painless. If I can randomly jab and it's painless 9/9 times I think I'll take my chances.
If you can pull it off I think it's cool and it will look totally cool...
Supernova283Question. Who bases how they inject on how cool it looks? Because personally I don't inject publicly so the only person it would look cool to is myself.
It's like. I smoke to look cool, but I only do it when no one's looking.
Hey I was just trying to be supportive..... no need to be a dick....
Supernova283Sorry it was meant to be more of a joke than an insult. Not that I'm not a complete asshole, but this time I really didn't mean to be offensive.
My bad.
LMAO Now that was funny!
Ya I probably read it wrong. No Sweat
Break the skin, then slow in...slow out
I have only pinned very slow. I like the control and if you hit a nerve you can back up. I even push slow through the skin watching as it perforates and wraps around the needle. Its slides with a slight burning sensation. Oh, that cold steel and that hot muscle what a pair... wait did i just type that. Nevermind. I pin slow.
once I break the skin I push mine in nice and slow. on the quads I go very slow ,so If i touch a nerve I can stop.
56tooI've had my wife throw it in my delts and ass, but bro u dont know how many times (probably every time I pin quads I think and want to do it but always pussy out and the fear is what bodybuilder says, hiting a nerve. I pin slow in the quad and have touched nerves. Let me tell u I hate to feel that with a dart!!!
THEE ONLY place I EVER hit a nerve, was the quad...OO-EEE!!!, it tickles a lil'....HAHAHA!!!
25 on my quads and 23 to the ghetto booty. Slow n easy.
And inject slow as well. Or get pain lumps because it didnt disperse right.
Slow and easy for me, have you ever hit a nerve? If you think pinning slow is painfull just wait till you hit a nerve. Can't imagine what it would feel like jabing right into a nerve, ouch.
UFOExactly..I always go slow in my glutes cause I tend to nick nerves. I will jab with delts tho...
I jab with a 23g, slowly pinning would drive me crazy I think.
I have tried both ways and honestly, I don't feel a difference either way. I pin my lats sometimes and I need to pretty accurate, or I will for surely hit a vein...they're running everywhere thru my lats. Jabbing it in would take the precision out of it. A lil' pain is no big deal to me. Go break your humerus in half and then tell me how that feels in comparison to a tiny needle...LOL!!!! BIG DIFFERENCE!!! Once you done something like that, pain is on another level the rest of your life. 25g is in the arsenal, one of my faves!
I throw mine in like a dart!I never feel a thing. Fuck that slow shit, it hurts. Yes I use a 25G!
Supernova283Damn see I never would have thought. I don't think I would have tried it with a 25g. I was just like eh it's like as big as a wasp stinger I might as well try this shit.
Seriously mind blowing how painless it was.
