+ 11 Favorite place to pin

ad

We've been discussing Rusty's thread on quad injections, & I enjoy seeing all the different perspectives. I personally love to pin quads. However, my #1 place to pin is pecs!! At first I thought no way, but now it's easier than anyplace else. I pin about an 1" over from nipple & an 1" up from there. Quad is definitely 2nd. I'm interested to see everyone's thoughts & no one says bi's or calves please... hahaha

Depends if you have do it yourself, I struggle to do a delt shot now, calves can be ok or can be sore just depends.

Yep I am definitely starting with my glutes or delts. I can’t see my ass can I do it sideways?

Seriously: I have only pinned with a slin pin so I need to get some good training for my TRT
Right now I’m scared to hit my quads without some good information.
“Post Rusty’s quad link so I don’t have to search for it.”
Thanks to this thread I know where not to pin. Thanks brothers!

My go to’s:

  1. Delts, multiple heads to utilize
  2. glutes, great for volume, very forgiving
  3. Pecs, super easy, low volume only
  4. Quads, finicky at best but can hold some oil
  5. Traps, with a slin pin.

I hate pinning quads, I like just using my ass cheek with 1”, 1.5” is a little deep for me

Definitely the shoulders. Back-filled slin pin. Smooth and much smaller risk of scar tissue.

Pinned quads tonight .6 ml test e 300 and .5 ml mast e 200. Everything going great. Right before I pull out sharp pain and as I'm pulling out it gets worse. I'm guessing I knicked a fricken nerve. Never had that happen in the five years I've been doing this

fusebox's picture

I've hit a nerve and injected next to one but this was much worse. And hardly any blood. So not sure what to think. Any ideas.

Where do you pin quads bro?

fusebox's picture

Outer edge high 3/4 the way above the knee. It's bruised around the site now. This is gonna be a bitch i have a feeling

fusebox's picture

Same here bro. I usually use a one inch 25 ga and go around half way in. I'm thinking I'll switch and just use a 5/8 25 ga from now on. My legs are very lean so I'm not worried about it ending up sub q

fusebox's picture

Doesn't hurt today. I'll keep an eye on it.

JARHEAD2's picture

That’s the same place I pin them. The bruise more than likely indicates you hit a vessel or two & probably a nerve in between. I’ve had a few sore for the first day or two if I get too far down and/or too close to the center. When I pin, it’s almost as if I’m pinning the side of my leg & high. Definitely keep an eye on it bro & some ibuprofen for soreness if needed.

fusebox's picture

Yeah it did bleed just a bit so that's not a concern for me. I was worried about how painful it was gonna be today. So far so good

JARHEAD2's picture

Good to hear!

You guys are some crazy mofos, I would never pin my calves or forearms. I think I'll stick to delts and glutes lmao.

Glutes, delts, triceps. Delts and tris are done and won’t take anymore oil this run so I need to venture out to other body parts to rotate with glutes. Not a fan of biceps, or calves. Tempted to shoot my quads or traps.

One thing is for sure my foam roller has allowed me to keep hitting my glutes with 3cc’s at a time and they’ve been able to take oil much better with regular rolling. Wish I could roll my delts and tris somehow to break up the shit not allowing them to take oil. Last time I hit delts they looked like an alien was hatching out of them.

No one inject the VG? Easiest spot

lookie's picture

glutes but im only on trt so not much exp

7gothic's picture

I like the delts and glutes, but I can say with absolute certainty that calves were the WORST pinning experience ever!!

kibby's picture

I'm doing well with mine....i get my wife to pin but I use no more than 1ml each calf.....lower half.

Did you do it yourself mate??? Sounds like you had a nightmare bro

I did it once many years ago--- never again lol

JARHEAD2's picture

That’s definitely one place I’m never pinning LOL

I couldnt walk straight for a week lol

I like pinning my left delt but not my right. But favorites definitely are the glutes. They can handle more frequent pinning and larger doses. Next most frequent for me is Ventro's followed by quads. If I am doing an ED regimen I will also add traps, pecs and tris.

JARHEAD2's picture

traps, pecs and tris.

I’ve never ventured into any of these, but which is your fav out of them?

Pale's picture

I forgot rear delts. And that is probably my favorite, but you need your wife to pin it.
Traps were pretty good and able to be done solo and triceps are good as long as you are in the zone. Get up a little too high, low or sideways and they can get pissed.
Pecs are tricky. I like to flex my pec and hold it.

Pale's picture

You would be pinning the front upper portion, not much tension there compared to the back side.

JARHEAD2's picture

I read right over pecs for some reason yesterday lol... I do pin pecs & it’s one of my favorite. I think I will try traps next..maybe watch some tri’s pinning videos for a while .

Pale's picture

Viking had me try forearms once. That one was a one and done,lol

Neilmccully's picture

Delts all the way...

TiggleBiddys's picture

quads seem the easiest so far...

JuiceWillis's picture

Glutes used to be my go to spot years back. Now it's a lot tougher to be able to rotate and see where i'm pinning. Delts are my choice now.

JARHEAD2's picture

Kibby, are you saying you recently started pinning calf’s??? That heroic LOL... no way man, I won’t ever try!

kibby's picture

Lol......sorry (autocorrect) ;)

Yes bro pinning my clafs to add extra injection sites.

I've got a solid rotation going on

Man you can have that!! Ugh hahaha

I hate autocorrect & the fact that it corrects at the most inappropriate time! Yesterday was my wife’s bday & I sent her a text that said happy bday & I call her an angel, so I said she’s the most beautiful angel in the world..... only after I sent it did I notice it said she was the most beautiful Angela in the world..... her name isn’t Angela!! Lol
