can I get by on just glutes?
ad
This is my first cycle. I'm running test-e 300 twice a week. My first pin went terribly and got an abcess, I think this was my fault for not going deep enough into my glute. Ever since then all my other pins have gone well, a little pip, but nothing bad.
Now I've just been sticking with alternating my pins between glutes. I assume I will be fine since I'm only doing the site once a week.
Am I correct, or should I suck it up, buy some shorter needles and start incorporating my quads?

glute rotation only 3x/wk has worked fine for me; I use precision glide 23g 1" for inj & 18g 1" to draw. Ususally no pip and not not even a dot on the band aid. With some UG gear I load syringe, recap, put in a ziploc, lay on a dish and pour hot water & let set a minute or so to warm up- makes a diff betw pip & no pip; check utube for proper techniques; you shouldht have gotten an abcess unless you didnt prep properly
Medial Delts & Quads are a must to add. Glutes will build up scar tissue and PIP is more common with unhealed site injections.
i can pin chest and tricepts ' glutes and delts no probs ' but my legs are impossible ' im walking like a gimp for 3 days :/
I'm on my first cycle as well. I tried quads first, couldn't walk normally the next day. Then tried delts, i had horrible pip. I could hardly move my arm without a lot of pain. I feel absolutely nothing with glute pins. I am just rotating between glutes now and it's working fine. Good luck!
Seriously man...virgin muscles will always get a lil pip. I have found though whether rookie or not...heating your vials a lil' bit before you draw and inject alleviates MOST pip issues. I even experimented the other day and didn't warm 'em up and what do you know...got some pip!! Warmed up...almost NONE. I have a heating pad that I plug in and set on the toilet, wrap my vials inside briefly for a minute or two and it makes a HUGE difference.
I've just been putting my vial on top of one of my wife's electric candle warmers for a minute or so, works perfect.
Yeah...that works too, LOL
Long esters are great because TWO sites is all you need. Me personally, the only time I use my glutes is for the long ester shots 2X/wk. rotating back and forth. Yeah when you start gettin bigger, hitting the glutes get a lil' difficult...that's why I focus ALOT on flexibility. I know hitting my delts even gets difficult now too though...on-cycle and muscles all full and swolen all the time, it gets pretty hard pinning some places...I start sweating and shit, lol. All part of the fun!!!

Yeah, sorry if that wasn't very clear. I'm on 600mg/week, dosed at 300mg twice a week, Alternating left to right glute. Since its my first cycle I'd rather stick with something easier and maybe in the future buy some 1" pins and incorporate quads into the rotation.
Thanks for the reassurance!
You know you can use the longer pins on your quads and just not stick it all the way in.
I started on quads then went to glutes. I like quads because you can find the muscle easy and don't have to twist to poke. I stick to rotating quads and glutes just to reduce the PIP/damage to tissue.
Try it a couple times you might like it better.
This is what I do.
you can...but only if its fully healed otherwise pin your quads or delts, and use 25g 1" for delts and quads
brother are you pinning once or twice a wk, it sounds like two but how it's written isn't clear, but a left to right rotation should work just fine
Glutes-only is fine.
