My first pin
ad
I finally decided on doing injections and I received my gear. I ordered the correct gauge needles and have everything i need to actually pin.
Is there any recommendations or tricks on how to pin without getting nervous as shit?
Something to dull the pain( until I get the hang of it)
Is it to much to hit 1.5ml in the same spot?
any advice I would greatly appreciate it
thanks guys

Just pinned my fourth test prop injection. I am doing ED injections. The first pin I was shaking, I was super nervous. But the next day my injections was literally no sweat, really easy, no nervousness at all. Now my injections are quick and easy.
I go up to 3ml in quads and glutes, any more and I'll split it. I used to hate pinning but find I can't wait for the next shot nowadays!!
A warm bath straight after or if I'm short on time I might run the shower over the site for a few minutes, don't get any pip now unless the gears bad. Heat pad works too, I tend not to massage the area as it seems to make pip worse.
I use a 1.5" 23 gauge in quads and a 2" 23 gauge in glutes. Pull it with an 18 gauge as it blunts the tips and takes ages to draw with a 23.
Depends on how much adipose tissue you have as to how far to go in with the needle, if I'm carrying more fat I'll bury the needle if I'm lean I leave a bit sticking out. I've seen pictures of glutes being pinned with a 1.5" and not reaching the muscle.
tread is spot on with his post. Glad to hear you went for it and no issues. Had to feel great. Now just wait until you get a buch more under your belt and you start getting anxious waiting for your day you stick. Then you get so caught up in it you cant help but want to start just pinning all different muscles. In my opinion its like tattoos....addicting as all hell. Ya do it once and it becomes crack. MORE MORE MORE. Welcome to da juice
TxBigBoyThis is so true! 2 days after my first pin I was looking up how to pin other areas like my triceps. Fucking addicting! And this coming from a guy who would damn near cry at the dr office when id have to get a shot.
Great news I got my first pin down!! first try, i psyched myself out. Then took tread's advice, threw some ESPN on, walked back in didn't hesitate, and got it done
overcame one of my biggest fears which is needles in general.
Thank you everyone again for your advice and encouragement!
tread-mWelcome to the Juice brotherhood...Blood in Blood out! lol
TxBigBoyGood job bro!
Thanks guys for the advice, I just took my vials outta the warm water and I'm getting ready to draw and pin now, I'll give everyone an update after I get this pin under my belt!
Seeing how he hasn't posted how it went,.......he may be still on the fence.
If it is any type of Test, E, C, P, D, or U, if your still worried, that shit is dangerous, just send it to me and I make sure it is disposed of properly,...for the fishes' sake(s).
ETA: Yes pope, my test levels are bottoming out and I'm bitchier than hell,..........I'm thinking of going over the Naps Source Review page and down voting everybody.
lmmfao, oooo shit, i c the darkness setting in, ATTENTION AL EROIDERS, lunatic on the loose, expect random downvoting on ignorant post ha ha ha.
ain't nothin random about it,.....have you been to Naps lately ???
no but maybe ill take a gander at it
maybe he passed out
maybe he'll pass out his gear
tread is on it, just stick it and dnt think about it, i put mine even if its a more sensative area i just get it over with! we men here just get all the thought outta ur head and pin. no big deal. good luck homie.
very true. I was in a sensitive spot today, broke the skin with the needle and since I was already stuck I figured I might as well just finish it off now!
yeah u gonna run n2 them spots here and there but im not sticking myself 4 or five times, i tried that once when i 1st started pinning and actually made it worse! theres just a time when ya gotta man up and say the fug it. i was really thin when i started pinning and its that much worse when ya just dnt have alot of meat. good post homie
tread-mIts like a golf swing (yes I play golf/suck it) , get your mind off of the swing. All the shit in your head is what makes you pull it anyway! Go through all the advice you have and get your pin ready,cap it and go watch some tv. In a few minutes walk in uncap and swab,relax and stick it. Every time it gets easier and pretty soon its like brushing your teeth...no worries. It will be a hell of a lot better than a new hematologist in its worst case scenario. I had one once upon a time I finally asked her, "are you trying to dig something out, I'm just here for bloodwork!" FMR Piece of cake brother, you're not doing surgery on yourself, you got this.
very true about the brushing your teeth aspect. I pinned 2 ml sunday and 1 mL today (running 750 T/E) and just now reading that made me realize how 3 weeks ago i was KINDA nervous about how the first inject was and here I am 6 needles in. After a while you actually start looking forward to your next pin. Thats crazy....Mind over matter tho.
tread-mOh I know man, you do...can't wait to pop and sometimes early for just that reason! lol Its like waiting to open your presents...
Yeah I was shooting early the first 2 weeks
Injecting your gear slowly will help greatly (I think 45 sec per ml is recommended). Also the type of gear your pinning will effect pip. Seems that shorter esters cause more soreness. That being said Boldonone gives me crazy pip even tho it shouldn't cause any, especially pinned in my quads - but not so much in glutes anymore. Good luck bro.
jab.
TxBigBoyDefinitally warm it up, i sat my vial in hot water for a few minutes before drawing it. I pinned for the first time friday(read "rushed my injection" tells all about it)and it went pretty good. My advice if you are nervous about needles, prick yourself acouple times to warm up to it. Its gonna feel wierd when the needle enters the muscle and you start injecting, almost made me throw up. But you willbe fine, just sit infront of a fan for about 5 min. If you still cant bring yourself to do it take a xanax and have your girl do it. I had to have my wife pin my left glute last night cause i couldnt reach it and for some reason i was more nervous about herdoing it. Took a xanax and it went fine. Also I pinned 2ml in one spot the first time and got some major pip, was on a heating pad the whole next day. You could prob get away with 1.5. good luck bro
Thanks Bro, I did read through your post and got some good info outta there as well. I will def have to go buy a heating now haha
Thanks for the advice I appreciate it
The side of your quad is going to be the easiest place to hit for your first time..work your way up to glutes and delts. Hit a different spot every week. Use one needle to draw out, and another needle to inject with. Throw away your draw needle after a few draws. Pull skin tight, and "plunge" it in there. Be sure to aspirate.
AND......if you're girlfriend is there when you do it---don't cry, don't puke, and don't ask her to call an ambulance if you feel dizzy.
I injected 7 or 8 HUNDRED times in the video game Bioshock before I actually did my first plasmid in real life. It's good practice.
Thanks gothic I'll do that then, Do you think its to much to inject 1.5 ml in the same spot? or would you split it into 2 pins?
and haha ill have the gf pick up Bioshock for some extra practice tonight
I injected 2 ML in my left quad on sunday....doesn't feel any more sore than it usually wouldve and my soreness only lasts a few hours now. Keep in mind I injected in the same quad the previous wednesday and forgot to switch sides! lol so I dont think it will be too much (Depending on your compound). Also more tips for quads:
1. its only gonna hurt when the needle is resting on the skin.
What I do is rest the needle on the skin, then kinda bounce it in and out and slowly apply pressure each "bounce" till it finally sinks into the skin. you wont even realize it went in at first. BE CAREFUL NOT TO MOVE THE NEEDLE AROUND WHEN ITS IN CAUSE THIS IS WHAT CAUSES THE PAIN AND SORENESS. you'll know when its moving around cause it'll start stinging slightly.
dont rush the inject
massage area where you pinnned for a good minute or two. Never had any soreness that lasted over 1 hr after doing this. Injected earlier today and even forgot I injected due to no soreness lol. Good luck and happy pinning
Well from what I've seen in my short time here,...real men pin,....girly men become pill munchers.
That's why I'm stepping up with the big boys now
