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 literally feel your pain! Idk how I'm gonna do it. My girl doesn't support my decision BUT FUCK HER I'm doing it Haha! Now I have to do it myself. Deff feel like a bitch :( gotta just man the fuck up I suppose. Meh
Yeh, know what you mean, i love pinning too man.
Fucked if i know why though, but its just awesome, lol
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
Meant 1" 1/2
Coryh11Hey guys thanks for everything!
My wife insisted on doing the injections(nurse) so it may be a while before I have to self inject. She prepped it using the spotinjections site reccomendations and all went well.
I was sitting there and was like shit i'm not ready yet, then I felt something like maybe she was poking me a bit with the pin to gauge sharpness... when I look over I have been pinned and she is always pushing the oil in. I hardly felt anything at all, I must say it's not bad at all. Looking forward to my next one lol.
The only thing I am noticing now (about 4 hours later) is my delt is a bit sore, similar to when you get a flu shot at the docs. nothing horrible though.
Over-all easy and great experience, now for the growing part
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
OE2000Hell yeah my man, nice idea! Now I can stop burning my fingers with the hair dryer!
Coryh11thanks bud, your always a big help!
Coryh11New question, I read that 23g is usually the best for injections.. I went to walgreens and all they had were 25g 1inch, so I got 20 of them because they were so cheap. Will I be G2G using Test E and a 25g?? I am planning to run it under warm water to help a little as well.
Also, it looks as if this is a one piece syringe and pin, I am sure that isn't reccomended but had to use what was available untill I get my online order :(
-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.
OE2000Use a hair dryer to heat the syringe, I wouldn't take the chance of some chlorinated tap water seeping down onto my pin. Not to mention the sulfates coming from the water heater ~~~~~later
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.
AnonWhat i did on my first was mark an area where i wanted to pin, then put some music on to keep my mind occupied. After that i said i would count to 3 before i stick it in. I counted to 1 and bam there it goes it was all in. Dont think i aspirated correctly i was very lucky in that first shot. But yes it is not hard at all pinning is the easiest part. When you perfect your techique you will love it, i prefer it from pill popping
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.
aren't you????
BostonYou're a trip dude

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.
AnonLet me tell you im exactly the same as you i was petrified of needles.. and i got my first tattoo when i was 15, i have 3 tats on my left and right arm and 1 across my chest.. For me this was the best way to inject..
Get everything to inject.. ( Swab the site down, have syringe ready to inject)
If you know what a " Z Track " is do that
and place the needle on the site and bounce it and you will feel it penetrate
there will be a slight pain.. and then push the needle in real slow you wont feel a thing while you push it in...
Ill try and find the video and post back i tried and i cant seem to find it but ill search some more
AnonI found it

Its a tranny so it might put you off but her technique is very good...
I do this Delts Quads.. havent tried any other sites yet but it works well
Coryh11thanks alot man, I'll give that video a look over.
BostonI love when its time to do a shot. I dont know why really, i just honestly enjoy it. I used to be terrified. Shit i remember buying all the stuff for my first cycle. You talk about excitement! Wow was is exciting. I just stared at the bottles all day lol. But THEN the day came when it was time to take that oily shit from inside the bottle and put it inside my body. So i tried to ignore the anxiety while i loaded up the syringe. Got it all filled up, got myself cleaned up and ready to pin then all the sudden BOOM! "What the fuck did i buy this shit for"? "I cant stick this damn thing in me" I said to myself, "ill just sell it and get my money back" I was serious. Then after pacing for an hour and calling myself a pussy, i just fucking did it. There was a 21g 1 ich pin in my left quad. It didnt hurt! Well a little but NOTHING like i thought. I recommend that newbs pin quads first simply because you can see and control what u are doing. Pinning is fun once you know what u are doing.
Coryh11HAHA! thanks man :), I've been told it's like a good pinch. glad to hear it's not as bad as it looks, or seems. I will def try out the thigh, I am still a little unsure about the aqward position of the glutes.
How about we start of with some stats first bro.
Coryh11Check my intro
or I can re-post here.

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.
Coryh11Thanks for the advice. Btw great aesthetics in your avi.
