+ 4 Thigh injections: Something new I learned

ad

During my last appointment, I was talking to my doctor about injections. She suggested that I grab, "a big hunk of muscle" before injecting into the thigh. Like a skin fold when pinning sub-Q but grabbing and squeezing the muscle instead to make it bulge.

And I'll be damned. It worked like a charm. Quads might become my favorite place to pin again.

I hate quad shots. Don't like the PIP. i do think it is better if you pin up high about where your pants pocket is.

huh? When pinning my quad, my pants pocket is near my ankle.

Yeah... give it a couple days. I love to pin quads, but it hurts like hell after about 36 hours.

interesting, quads are my least favorite because of all the veins i have, its like playing mine field... and my quads always want to involuntarily flex when i put the needle in

quads always want to involuntarily flex when i put the needle in

same here, I always felt apprehensive. Doing this made that stop.

Relax, wiggle your toes, then continue.
Carry on.

1in? I have always used 1 1/2. Damn I have been jabbing this sword sized pin in my leg for the last 2 cycles lol gonna have to go 25x1.

I've always used 25g 1". No problems at all.

Good to know. Those 1 1/2" are a pain to pin with in quads. Will go with the 1" from now on.

Can you elaborate a little more on this? Like you pin the same leg in two different spots at 2ml each?

irongame427's picture

Thanks bro I never thought of doinf that.

So your saying if I pick a spot on my quad and inject I can do another shot a few inches away from that one? I'm assuming I can so the same thing for my glutes. That makes my life so much easier I was thinking I was gonna have to do ed shots on my winter bulking cycle cause I'm using short esters and I really didn't wanna do that. Still sucks to have to stick the needle in me twice but it's still better then shooting everyday.

That's the way to go! I always do my ventro shots sitting down so it pushes the muscle together, just like grabbing big chunk. And when I pin delts, I push my rear delt against a wall so it pushes the back of my delt forward, mashing it together. Then sit there and pin. Works great.

I pin that way because I saw a YouTube video doing that method and works great.

Good video. Exactly how my doctor showed me.

I just started that same method a couple months ago and quads are my favorite area. No pain. Nothing. It works great

Thats how I do my quads.. I actually find it way easier and less pip/pain all around..

irongame427's picture

No pip the next day? I already love pinning quads I hardly ever get pip. Now delts are another story.
