+ 2 Favorite Pin locations?
So I have been pinning my Glutes, Delts with oils for awhile now and are always my go to favorite spots, I then always pin Peptides in the abdomen. Recently I got some Injectable L-Carnitine that is a water based solution and is 500mg / ml, and the shit is thick as fuck like an oil, but I don't wanna have any overlap with water based solutions and any oils into my typical pin locations that I prefer. So I opted to man up and open up new pinning locations I have never tried before, so far I opened up my lats and I honestly love pinning there now, but today I hit my left pec, and I have to be honest its not feeling so hot right now. Idk if its cause "Virgin Muscle" or what but I already feel PIP an hour post pin. I am also maybe going to try for Triceps here soon, but idk yet lol.
What is a weird pin location not many people hit that you really like to use, but is also safe and easy to hit?

Intermedius quads
I've mainly been pinning my glutes and quads. Some of the quad shots have definitely left some rough pip though.
Question, when you guys inject other places like delts or lats, what length needle do you use? I've been exclusively using 1" intramuscular. Feel like delts or pecs might be safer with a shorter needle.
I don't have much fat at all on my delts and I still use a 1 inch needle on them and its fine. With lats I would say the length really depends on how lean you are around your lats, for me i can pin them even with a 1/2 inch needle and be good. My glutes I always hit them with 1.5 inch needle though, most of my fat is on my ass, quads I use 1 inch, and pecs I have been using 1/ inch.
Needle length is very personal imo, cause everyone's body dimensions and fat distribution over muscles differs.
I like to pin high up on the pecs. So my right pec would be as far up above the nipple and a tad to the right
I hit my right pec today, and it was 1 inch above my nipple and a inch to the right of it. I would say its a more successful pin then the one i did yesterday on my left pec.
Lats, chest, quad are all recently added in my rotation. Lats are the easiest, they just suck up oil. Quads you can take the needle and poke lightly on the skin a few times to find a spot that is less sensitive
Delts, Lats and Glutes. My favorite spots to keep in rotation.
Bros…Glutes, ventroglutes and delts have always been my go-to spots. I used to love side delts, but after so many years of pinning I’ve built up enough scar tissue there that nowadays almost anything can give me PIP … even a slin pin with minimal volume, oils or peptides. If I’m hitting delts now, I usually have to go front or rear.
That’s why I always say rotation is king, especially for you guys running short esters and pinning ED. Don’t abuse a good spot just because it’s convenient… eventually that spot might start fighting back
It is interesting to me that you say this because km convinced that my glutes are impervious to PIP due to overuse. I never thought the opposite could happen.
Exactly this. My right delt is sometimes squeaky when the needle goes in from the scar tissue. Wish I was smarter about it when I was younger
Having someone else do the pinning is the best way to go as quality while properly rotating locations sometimes becomes problematic as scar tissue builds up and though I have never had an abbess I have known plenty who have. The larger and more vascular you are the more targets come into view and nurses will start chasing you as for some reason they are fascinated with people with visible circulatory systems. Anything water base is always Sub Q. years back I tried a vial of water-based Winny that would separate before I could push the plunger and what did get in left a lump. One and done and tossed in the bin. I don't know if diluting with saline solution would have helped at all. If it is hurting, it is not helping!
I pin oils in my upper quads daily. Rotating left and right. It's my favorite spot. Most of the time I can't even feel the pin. I use a 30g 1/2in pins.
I pin side delts, rear delts, lats, and dorsal gluteal. I want to try quads and chest but I hear too many horror stories about quads and chest I'm just scared ngl
I understand the hesitation on chest, but give the vastus lateralis a chance it’s such an easy muscle to hit and is hit or miss on the pip for most people.
Left lat, right lat, left ventrogluteal, right vent, left glute, right glute, repeat
I always just hit the upper outer area of my glute, I never can figure out the difference of normal glute and VG lol
Easy way I use to find the VG is put my thumb on my hip bone and make a downward 'V' with my index and middle finger. Anywhere in that V will be the meat you can hit. Meatier the better.
Lol, yep....it's more of the space under your hip bone where you can feel the space of muscles between your top upper thigh and the bone. It will hold a lot of oil plus it's painless
Delts, pecs, traps and quads. Pecs is the best oil absorption for me personally.
I’ll try chest again
I prefer quads. I sit on the edge of my bed flex the muscle and pin in the side of the quad. I rotate between left and right so each leg gets a pin once a week.
If I need a bunch of places fo pin... ill rotate from glutes to delta to pecs to biceps. Favorite spot is glutes.
What’s it like pinning bicep?
It can be a little awkward at first like anything else. Probably my least favorite. Actually... ive only pinned my legs once, it didnt go well. Ill hit biceps before I go to the legs. These days im not pinning enough where I need many spots, I get by with just my glutes and delts.
I’m also curious about traps but idk that shit sketches me out lol.
Traps are underrated. Sketchy at first as with all new pin spots but it’s been smooth for me. Pinned test, tren a and lcarn and was good!
Lots of nerves up in the traps. I don't fuck with the traps.
Lats tho.
Guess I’m trying something new in the morning. Haven’t considered traps before
Report back with the results! Lol. I’m cool with most spots, but calves and traps freak me out.
Not gonna lie, I bitched out this morning and hit my pec instead. I already had a nerve injury, dont want to tempt fate
You let me down Ken! Nah jk, I couldn’t do it either lol.
Hahahaha....probably the best play tbh. Next thing you pin your trap and it gets all tight, you then have a kink in your neck for the next day and feel like shit.
A day? Shit my luck it'd be 2 weeks on the injured list LOL
Not many people like pinning quads but it’s one of my favorites if you’re smart about it. Hit the meat in the sweep between veins and you’re golden. L-Carnitine is definitely a spicy bitch in the pecs, been there for sure.
The Carnitine was spicy in my quads also, but so is just standard Test Cyp.
As for the Traps idk about all that lol
Rotate shoulders, lats and quads. Ill occasionally do glutes. Tried pecs and I didn't like it... maybe I'll try again.
Yeah the pec is funky to me right now, Lats have been amazing and I wish I pinned them earlier.
I actually just retried chest. I guess its not that bad. Lol
I got PIP very fast yesterday when I pinned it, but this morning it is very minimal already.
I rotate delts, pecs, quads. Throw in lats from time to time. Pecs are fine, but you gotta find the sweet spot. Mines about 2" above the nipple, then just a tad towards breastbone. If I go too low (close to nipple) or too far towards armpit it hurts like a MFer and stays sore for days.
Try flexing the pec, put your finger on the meatiest part then relax it, keeping your finger on that spot. That would be the spot where I would start if doing it all over again.
As far as weird spots, sometimes ill hit front delts. just change of pace like lats. Just gotta watch for veins, I got alot in front there
Mine is upper pec about 2-3” from clavicle into upper chest muscle. Best absorption of all spots for me. Another pec spot is midway chest about 2” from center.
Same. + Pecs
I always wanna try the front delt, but the internet always steered me away from trying it. Thanks for the tip on helping me find the best spot on pecs, I'll remember that next time I give my pecs a shot.
