left delt does not like getting pinned
ad
Added delts to my rotation a couple of weeks ago, the pins themselves are easy and pain free, but my left delt doesn't seem to like getting pinned to much, within 12 hours it tightens up, becomes pretty painful and red..this only happens on my left delt and nowhere else.. does anyone else have this problem?

fully agree!
Yeah, it just seems as though my left one doesn't like it as much, seeing as how I inject the same way every time and my right one has no problems
I'm using 23 g 1.5". In delta I go about an inch in.. running test e 500mg a week split into 2 pins.. I'm right handed, but my girl is real cool about my use, and she used to be a rn I get her to do all my delt shots, always the same technique, and depth..I only have this prob in left delt
TxBigBoyI agree with FCV, I'd change your pin size to 25g 1inch or even shorter. I've had this problem in the past with my right delt though. First time I pinned npp was delts. I put a half cc of prop and a half cc of npp in each delt and the right one flared up bad. Got real swollen and stiff, then red all the way down to my tricep. Last a couple days then it was fine. It could be your muscle just rejected the compound and got irritated by it. I've had this happen with several muscles now. How often and how many times have you pinned that delt?
It's only the 3rd time in that delt, but its happened every time. I had thought about changing pin size, gonna go grab some 25g 1 inch tomorrow.. I figured the first time it happened it was just because it was a new muscle, but obviously not. I probably pin it, every 2 weeks or so.
TxBigBoyYea That's weird it's happened all three times. And your giving it enough time to heal so it should be ready for more. Does your girl always pin in the exact same spot? You could be getting close to some nerves that are getting irritated. Have her try going higher or lower next time, or even back more towards the rear delt but stay on the mid delt muscle.
No, not the exact same spot, I'll try moving it around some more, first time she def hit something, got the pin in and had a pretty crazy muscle twitch,, so maybe I'm still a little close to whatever I hit that time.. thanks for the advice bro
TxBigBoyNo pro bro. yea if she hit something and its still giving you irritation I'd give that delt a rest for the remainder of the cycle. Not sure what all your pinning besides delts but maybe switch in a glute or quad for the delt day.
Forums yesterday cites pin spots and reasons it hurts. Give it a view. Lots og great info.
Will do bro
How long a pin are u using for delts? How deep are you going? What are u running?
For me pinning delts is aggravating because of the whole one handed deal, I still do them but anytime my wife is near I have her do it for me. She can hold it more steady than myself one handed. It sounds to me like your not going deep enough causing it to gather under the skin or u could just be moving a lot causing irritation. I have more trouble doing my right delt since im right handed.
