Cant inject, needle wont go in!

The needle will go in some, but then it feels like something is stopping it, just wont go any farther, any ideas on what is going on?

are you taking the safety cap off i could see that causing some stoppage
just kidding
When I first started it was easy to poke, but now it seems really difficult sometimes. I think it's partly related to all of the Peptide injections (scarring) and also to the extra muscle/tendons. I've also found that sometimes it's a vein and it's best to pull out a drill a new hole. I've only aspirated blood once and struck a major vein one other time (must have passed right through it).
DefconSomeone else also said that ur most likely in a vein if it feels like it wont go any further. I probably put 20 needle punctures in both of my quads trying to do it, I guess I hit a vein every single time
DefconThanks I ended up just pinning my glute, I dont think its scar tissue, seeing iv only pinned my right quad twice EVER, and never my left, and it wouldnt even go in the left
DefconIm injecting into thigh, it usually goes in like butter, but sometimes it will not go in at all
Maybe you got some scar tissue? Try changing up where you inject.
That's not a very good explanation, where are you injecting? It's probably muscle that feels like it's stopping the needle but it just takes a little bit more force but not much to get through? That's my guess on what's going on from what you've said. Unless your injecting into your finger or knee lol then it might be a bone your hitting.
Anon1/2" is protocol where my wife is a nurse. You hitting your hip? You might need to move farther down and I never bury a 1.5. 3/4 to 1" is more than enough!
+1 was using a 1.5 for this cycle cause I thought I was gonna be shooting only glutes...switched to quads second week so I was stuck. Anyway 1.5 felt like a never ending needle. Sticking with 23 1in next time around
