+ 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.

MightyMatt812I’ve never had any issues with quad injections. Hit a nerve couple times and had a squirter but 99.9% of time pip free unless I fuck up
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
same here, I always felt apprehensive. Doing this made that stop.
Relax, wiggle your toes, then continue.
Carry on.
RustyhookerI love quads for pins. Even moreso since you got me to switch to 25x1. Will try this method Monday morning. Got 4cc and two separate spots (2cc per spot)
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.
Dustined83Yea all you need is one inch. Legs don't hold much fat. I used 1.5 a long time ago and that hurt!!! I have been skipping quads but I'm jumping back to them too. Hopefully pip free
RustyhookerSeated imo is the best way
Dustined83Definitely. I tried standing once I my muscle flexed and it hurt like he'll tge next day. It's crazy though cause I can lay my leg on the bed and relax it with no issues. There's probably a scientific answer but I don't know it. I just know I'm with rusty... sitting down is the only way for me
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?
RustyhookerYessir. 2 spots on left outer sweep and 2 spots right sweep. Wednesday will be 2cc into left intermedius quad. Friday will be cc to right intermedius quad.
MightyMatt812Yessir exactly what I do I love the quads
Thanks bro I never thought of doinf that.
RustyhookerI conglomerated a bunch of pip forums. Click my picture...check forums. 1cc if you put on a flat surface is almost dime sized. #1 spot can be 1cc where middle finger touches as you stand straight. 2 can be 2in below or 2in above. Gives a lil pin rest to avoid pin soreness. Works great on short estered runs. 3 spots for 1. Long Esters can go #2..2in below and #3...2in above. 4in spread.
Greg got me started on small pins like 3yrs back. Best thing ever. Pick his brain and check his forums. Good dude!
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.
RustyhookerDont misunderstand longs from shorts. If you're doing shorts, then you've got 3 separated areas on those ling quads to help with pin soreness. But Ed or eod pins i try to still keep a week before hitting same spot.
Much easier to post your cycle so we dont lose the focus to this one.
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.
AnonI pin quads and glutes but always favored glutes. I'm going to give this a try! Thank you!
Give them a vote if you find it helpful.PermalinkAnonI've always done it this way! It works all the time!
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..
No pip the next day? I already love pinning quads I hardly ever get pip. Now delts are another story.
