tLAMARwanyone, please?
ease up big chief, I had my first pin not that long ago either just over a month, I don't reckon there's any standard length of time it 'will' last but for your first pin give it 4-7 days bud, just slam some ibopurofen and train hard bud pain will be gone before you know it (:
tLAMARwanyone tell me how long the pain usually lasts after the first injection in to my thigh? it didn't hurt at all that night and barely at all in the morning. but now at work standing on it for a few hours its killing me.
tLAMARwmy cycle is 400mg of test cyp for 12 weeks keeping it simple for my first one. taking hcg 250 iu twice a week. arimidex .25 eod just starting at that if i notice any itchy or burning nips gunna up it to .50 eod. pct is nolva and clomid. and eating 4000 clean calories a day.
Is there a difference injecting at night vs morning? Will it keep you awake at night or will the pain be less or more moving and getting on with your day injecting in the morning?
I remember my first pin when I was about 18 (years ago, mind you).
I must have pierced my quad at least fifteen times trying to find a spot that felt comfortable (blood everywhere of course). Must have taken me more than an hour to sum up the courage to push the pin all the way in. I'd end up going in about half an inch and because I felt it, I'd pull out and convince myself "must have been a bad spot"... Could barely walk for a weak. Moving my legs to get into a bed was a feat in itself. now in my 40s, I'll push through whatever muscle the pin is going into, regardless of what weird 'kinks' I might feel pushing through, because I'll always remember the pain I had and almost crippled-like feeling I had for a week or two, all because I didn't have the bottle to just push through. To be young again.
It's good to know your first pin went well. I think the most important thing to remember when pinning anything is to just relax.
tLAMARwi was shaking before i went in, but i just pushed it through and didnt feel a thing. but now the day after standing at work it hurts like a b!tch
tLAMARwThanks everyone, just had my first successful pin I chose my thigh absolutely no pain at all!
...no pain ...yet ;-)
tLAMARwhahah this. im at work right now and its killing me i'm walking with a crazy limp
waltrgood work then,
i don't know what your running but don't forget to rotate legs you pin if your only doing 2x a week,
if your pinning more than 2x your gonna have to work in some other areas.
TropicanaJuiceWrapping up my first cycle and the best advice I can give is just do it! you know your gonna pin eventually so just get it over with, its not bad at all, i have anxiety and my first pin was a little nerve racking, but just try to stay come make sure everything is CLEAN, remember to aspirate, if you see blood just move over a pin again, watch some youtube vids and get it done!
Relax. Review the steps you know you need to take.
Rehearse it over and over in your head until it feels like you do it all the time.(could be days)
Ready your gear then walk away.
It's like swallowing a pill or shifting gears using a clutch. the less you think about it the better it will be.
Pick your moment.
Man up.
Walk over to your gear and pin like you've rehearsed -don't think,; just do.
timcinkcrember to take your time & not to push it in too fast ,take your time make sure area is clean ! good luck!
tLAMARwthanks man!
waltrdon't go too low on your glute, i always thought i wasn't gonna be in the right spot going higher up but i've found i have less sensitivity the higher up i am
tLAMARwthanks for the advice, i wanted to try the ventrogluteal injection but just cant seem to find enough information to do it myself.
waltrjust imagine this (+)(+) thats your glute, go just above the edge of the + sign and in the upper right corner if right glute, upper left if left glute.
nothing to it....
some people recommend "darting" the needle, i do not, i simply press it against the skin and its in before i know it
edit if your high enough this is your ventro-glute it extends across the back and goes under the glute i believe
tLAMARwthanks for the info, have you ever done a thigh injection i'm debating between the two
waltrmy favorite spot ;D
|+| that's your right thigh,while sitting down on a chair from your view looking down
bottom outside (away from your jimmies) part of the + sign, for reference rest your left hand on TOP of your thigh with your thumb against your stomach, rest your right hand on the side of your leg with your wrist starting at the fingertips of your left hand and see your right thumb? stick the needle right above where your thumb stops
Plenty of how to videos available. Just remember to aspirate the syringe before plunging
tLAMARwthanks man, i've watched a ton of videos and read a bunch of information about how to do it. just a little nervous haha never given myself a needle before.
