QUAD pin rotation? First cycle

ad

Hey guys just did my first ever pin in the glute with 25 G 1.5 pin. However it seemed really awkward reaching around to try and pull the plunger and aspirate and then slowly inject. Is it ok to inject quads on the first cycle. Glute just seems like a pain

it is and its awkward. It's hard to take deep breaths when turned like that. Also my neck gets sore.

What helps for me is use a thick needle and only spend about 20 seconds injecting that will help ease it up a little, plus you dont have to press as hard on the plunger.

Also I lay on my stomach on my bed and twist put my pillow underneath side to help keep me in that position and its really easy for the inject. I can use both hands one to hld the syringe steady and the other for the plunger so I never get any movement of the needle whatsoever

Quad was the first thing I pinned because of how easy it can be reached and I could control my shaky hands much better. I tried my glute once and honestly haven't done it again. It was a pain in the ass (literally). I couldn't keep my hand still and the needle was bouncing around. My cheek hurt for a week. lol

I rotate quad/delt now but I suppose I'll give the glute a try again at some point.

What I found works best for me is pinning middle part of quad. Halfway between the knee and the crotch. Theres no nerves in the area at least not for me. Upper outer I always hit a nerve so I don't pin there.

I pin while I am sitting down with my leg out at a 135 degree angle and relax the muscle. That helps me.
I use 23G x 1" tried 25g inch before and I hit a nerve 2x while injecting, because the needle was moving around so much since it takes forever to push the oil out of a 25G needle.

Quad was the first place I pinned. I personally found that the top outside quadrant was the most comfortable for me. Easy place to hit if you are going to be pinning yourself. The first couple times you pin there it is a little sore. Feels like a charlie horse. For me it stopped being sore by my thrid pin. I also used a 25 gauge 1".

I always hit a vein or nerve endings in the ventroglute. What size needle do you use?

Sure. Just be careful. I like to pin lower quad it seems to work better for me. Get 25 g 1 inched. and stand up strait let your arms hang down by your sides where my middle finger touches the outer teardrop I go 2 inches up of anywhere around that area. SIt down with you leg at a 90 degree angle and pinch your quad pop the needle in. After cleaning the area of course aspirate then inject slow. Quads are my favorite place to pin.. Good luck.

Yeah totally fine. I know during my first cycle i got a lot of pip from my quads, seems like some people are more sensitive in that area than others though
