Is this a problem?

Sometimes when I pin my Test, some of the test leaks out, ( inject in the delts ), What should I do? And does that mean it will all leak out during workouts?

Happens to me on occasion. It's not due to scar tissue either. You'll know when your pinning thru scar tissue. Trust me. What is happening here is one of two things:

1) your pinning either between the muscles or not deep enough into it, and this is causing the oils to become dispersed into the interstitial spaces. When you pull the needle out, some will leak until the clot forms.

2) the muscle is slightly contracted during The injection process. This exerts pressure in the areas surrounding the bolus of oils being injected, thus pushing some out until the clot forms.

Just have a cotton ball ready and apply a little pressure when you pull out. This will help with the clotting.

Use the z-track injection method and you wont have any leaks.

that would happen to me when i would leave air in the syringe before pinning, i take the air out now and that seemed to fix that

how many other injection sited do you use besides delts?

this can happen if you inject in a certain spot too much due to scar tissue forming.

how frequently do you inject?

You should never pin the same site more then once a week.

personally I inject biceps, triceps, delts, vastus lateralus, rectus femoris, glutes, ventroglutes, calves, lats, and chest. there are 2 parts in the biceps I can hit, 2 in triceps, 2 in calves, 3 in chest, 6 spots in quads, 2 parts on delts, 2 at glutes, and 2 for lats. so 44 different injection sites. no excuse for scar tissue unless you inject daily

as for leaking, no leaking only happens the second you pull the needle out then a little drop can come out. if it does then the hole will seal and it will not leak anymore

you should be pinning test prop every other day so 3.5 times a week technically. not sure why you are only pinning twice a week.

Holy sh!t 44? I need to start using different pin spots, never knew there were so many. Spotinjections.com only showed a few. Was always freaked out about pinning the inside of the thigh so always went with outer thigh and glutes.

I don't pin the inner thigh, the rectus femoris is middle, and vastus lateralus is outer.

there are not 44 different sites, but I was saying you can hit certain sites like thighs in different locations. Biceps have inner and outer heads. Delts can be hit lower center, and mid center about 5/8's inch apart. glutes are a zone that you hit so as long as you stay in the upper outer zone you can hit spots slightly apart.

it's all about getting used to your body and knowing which spots work best. For example I don't regularly do ventroglutes because I have a ton of veins there. I usually don't do vastus lateralus because I have a bunch of nerves there.

Thanks bro, doc showed me on the quads where to pin ( he is a good friend of mine) he said the same outer and middle. I have huge traps is there a place where my girl can pin those or is that a bad spot for absorption? Otherwise it glutes and quads for me. Thanks again bro

delts and biceps are very easy spots as well don't forget those.

As for traps, I know it's possible, but I never tried it. Too close to my neck for my comfort lol.
