ad

Just pinned on monday, my right quad with a 23g 1.5 in.. though I went all the way in with the needle :( which I didn't want to at first but I was nervous so yeah.. It's a bit sore since monday now tues. Think everything is good?

Soreness is completely normal. Some gear can cause more soreness than others, and depending on how many mls you injected and how big of a needle, etc. the soreness would be worse or less. You should be totally fine, however I personally would not use a 1.5 inch 23 gauge in my thighs. Some will disagree but I personally like to use a 25gauge 5/8". Works perfect and always has for me.

Any of you vets that ever pinned delts think 1.25ml ( 250mg ) test c is too much for the deltoid?

it honestly depends on how big your delts are, how many times you have injected in your delts, and how many times you have used gear. I will go up to almost 2 cc's in my delts and have no problems, however, before I cycled alot I wouldn't go above a 1/2 cc in each delt. As long as there is no serious redness, warmth on injection site, and a pimple like growth with pus coming out, or turning green then you should be fine. Being sore is totally normal, especially after injecting 1.25mls in your shoulder if your not too used to it.

Had to read that twice, thought you said 1.25" not 1.25ml, was thinking wow you must have some serious shoulder muscle to use a needle that long!

Should be ok I don't go much higher than that in my delts.

Just a suggestion would be using a 25g 1in. for quad pins. I began using 23g 1.5 after switching to 25g I haven't looked back!

You're straight bro. 23x1.5 is exactly what I use as well. It took me awhile to get used to pinning delts because that area is just so solid and tight, it tended to stay sore longer. My advise would be to get used to pinning in several areas. I rotate through both delts, quads and glutes that way you're giving plenty of time for the oil to disapate.

No fever or anything Blum 3 All good, i'm afraid I won't be able to aspirate properly when I pin glutes, I ordered some 25g 1 inch for my delts though, that seems a bit easier to deal with.

I use 25 on quads too. 23 glutes. Its all personal preference.

Unless severe pain....fever...heat and soreness gets bad. New muscles and some gear hurts more. High five!
