Splitting a dose with multiple pins
ad
This is probably a basic for most users but I'm on my first cycle so was trial & error.
My first ever pin of 1.5cl Test Dec into the glute felt like I´d been kicked for 3 days. So next time I tried the quad, which was worse cos gave me a dead leg & I was limping for 3 days.
My 3rd pin, in an attempt to avoid the ache, I split into 2 separate doses of .75cl each (separate needles obviously) one into each glute. This has fixed the problem & there's no pip aching.
The choice between multiple jabs or dead leg is easy

You'll learn what works best pinning for you. Use the full 1.5 inch of the pin bury it in the muscle. Push it slowly through. Most of the time if I get pip its because I either pushed too fast, got between the muscles, or hit it subcutaneous. I can throw 2.5-3ml in a location and no get pip now. I always shower before pinning as well since I work outside. And sweat alot safety and cleanliness first
Just split the dose to twice a week. Don't worry about chasing a number too much. Every 3 to 4 days will work just fine. Stick to glutes, I don't recommend pinning your quads. So much can go wrong pinning quads. Delts also work fine they are less risky than quads. Just alternate sides one day do the right, the next pin the left. 1.5cc is a lot to pin at once especially if you're new.
It could be down to pinning technique aswell bro. Especially with this being your first cycle. It takes a while to get your technique down and nailed. I know sometimes i mess up my technique the odd time. I get the missus to do my pins as shes a nurse anyhow and its great. If im pinning myself i normally do my delts and quads as its easier to get the form and technique correctly.
Could you pin more times per week in smaller volumes? Also, I have had good luck pinning SUPER slowly. Give it a couple of min to get a whole ml in there
Thanks for the tip, tbh I'm a clumsy fooker & more worried about damaging myself so squeeze & as quickly as possible. I'll slow down --
It made all the difference for me. Totally worth it!
You need to slow it down. Injecting fast actually causes more micro tears in the tissue causing more damage/pip.
Lol I have no patience, I shoot it fast. 15-20 seconds I'll push 3cc, I can do this in the delts and glutes. Quads ill slow down because they're more sensitives but. If I'm pinning 1 mL using a 1 mL syringe I can plunge it in 5 seconds . I have scare tissue though but that can be from so many years of sticking myself and you know I like to use 22 or 23g 1.5 harpoons
Since its your first cycle your muscles just are not use to holding any oil at all. You still have virgin muscles so 1.5 ml is alot because what your basically doing is making a a little pocket inside your muscle. For what your doing splitting the doses would be smart tho however for the future the less holes you make in your body the less likely youll get an infection. Best of luck on your first cycle
Thanks I'll gradually increase the dose, but keep them at 1cl for now --
