Scared Of Pinning

ad

So I have never been a fan of needles at all.. funny because I have two tatoos one of which is a half sleeve. I have always hated needles but just don't want to risk my health with the orals.

Question to you guys/gals, what is the least painfull/easy spot to inject? I was thinking delt or thigh. But when discussing the thigh spot inparticular with some co-workers they said the thigh has a ton of nerve endings and may be a bit more painful. Also, what method do you prefer? Do you just simply stick it in there or do you do that bounce method I have seen on youtube?

Thanks guys, this is going to def be an experience for me lol.

hmm for me is glute when i first done it lol took me an hr yea i know i kept stabbing and not fully commit to drive down,
also its a good idea to change the needle after you draw it out of the vial ,

and as for me iono mybe just me but i take a hot shower first then inject just feel alote softer on the glute.

Hey, mate. I just pinned for the first time last Sunday. (Fourth time first thing in the morning!) It was pretty damn scary, but it shouldn't have been. Just study the hell out of it. I actually watched a YouTube video of this kid who has to use T (he was trans). It was the most step-by-step detailed video ever for a quad injection. Haha. I just did every step and paused/played as I went. I def wanted to go thigh first so I could see right in front of me what exactly I was doing. It was really simple, man. Like I said, fourth injection in the morning... And ALMOST all the nervousness is going away. (At least for the quad; gonna start rotating delts as well on Sunday.)

Btw, I used a 1.5 23g pin. A cheap pin at that. Terumo or whatever those Amazon pins are. Ha.

I used the same video for my quad injection, DO it in the glute in the upper outter quadrant use 23g x1.5 and you should be good to go, alternate injection sites if you can though.

I always did it on the upper glut with a 25 gauge 1" and like the other said just warm it up a little. Don't forget to draw back plundger after to make sure your not in a vein. If your not ready for needles your not ready for juice

I find it easier to pin quads. I use 3cc 22g or 23g 1.5". I pin now 2x/wk, alternating sides and no big deal with pips. I like thigh because I don't have to twist or use a mirror. I used to have to give myself allergy shots in thighs, so it was very natural, well maybe not natural, but familiar. I have warms oils before drawing and after. I set my oil on top of my coffee pot with a rag on it for 2-3 mins and it is very easy to draw & pin.

I use a scotch class, works pretty darn good for heating up prop before injection

-Bro after you load your syringe try laying it in a heating pad, that always works really good for me.
- I used to use 1.5in 22/23ga all the time but this last cycle I loaded with a 20ga and shot with a 1.5in 25ga and now I'm hooked!! but you definitely gotta heat the oil with a 25ga. The other thing I liked about the 25ga is that it limits how fast you can inject it. It kinda makes you take your time cause you can't do it fast.
-One other little tip that helped me and a couple buddies start pinning on our own. I used to numb the area I was gonna stick with an ice pack for a couple minutes. Then you can push or bounce the pin (whatever your more comfortable with) and before you know it the pin will be half way in and you won't even know it cause you don't feel a thing!!!

Good Luck!

I pin 22 or 23 1 inch as I only pin delts. The thought of hitting a nerve in my thigh or a nerve in my arse just fucks with me. I love the 23 though seems to be perfect however I do believe 22g is the best when it comes to best to getting the gear in fast and deep. Delts just seem natural to me. However if I insert the pin in to slow I end up with a little more blood coming out.

I've been using thigh and venrogluteal.No big veins or nerves in the ventrogluteal area, and actually I've never had any problem with thigh injection either.You have to relax your muscles.Flexing them while injecting makes it painful.I've tried delt once but couldnt use both hands which made the whole thing pain in the butt.Use smaller needle to inject ( 1.25" 23 g ) After locating your site just push the needle in in a 90 degree angle as if you threw a dart.
Do not always follow the tips on youtube.I saw a clip in which the "MD" didnt even aspirate.
You can get used to pins, no worries.And good luck.

bro i dont feel a thing. useing a 25g pin at 1 1/2 long and i feel nothing, smooth as silk. just dont think about it. watch a video or two to make sure you are doing it right and you should have nothing to worry about, do it wrong and you may have something to worry about but not doing it right.

My first pin wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, no pain or anything (glute shot). I've tried quads, but I hit nerves quite often so I personally prefer pinning glutes for that reason.

There are times where I look forward to pinning, other times I can't be bothered but know it needs done. Never do I dread pinning, though. It's all good once you get over your first initial fear.

I LOVE needles, but I'm scarred to death of tattoos.
I love to pin every day, but I tried to get a tattoo of a rainbow with a pot of gold at the end. I couldn't take the pain anymore after the rainbow...now evryone thinks I'm gay.

Took me about ten minutes to finally put my first pin in about 15 years ago. After the first 2-3 times you kinda get over it. Once you see the steroid actually start working you will be looking forward to your next pin. I know i did at least! Just make sure you always use a new needle and always swab your bottle tops and injection sites. Good Luck!

I still don't "like" injections, but you're going to need to just get past it. Just use very clean (very) and proper safety techniques every time. And always leave a small amount of needle out of the body (don't press all the way in) and have a set of clean (new, doused in alcohol preferably)needle-nose pliers to help you grab and pull out the needle in case it breaks off during injection. If it breaks beneath the skin, push down hard on both sides around the injection spot and a small amount should pop up through the skin so you can grab it.

Also, wait until your 25 or older.

Yeah bro play it safe hold of for two years. This will give you enough time to do enough research before you jump in to this shit. Your still risking some nasty maybe even permanent sides at your age.
