Glute injection not going as well 5 weeks in
I just finished my 5th week of 600mg/wk Test E . Only compound I am running BTW. I pinned my glutes for the first three weeks. After my 6th injection in my right cheek i had a large swelling and tightness for a few days. This way due to aspirating and finding some blood and going to another spot where a little blood came out after i injected. It went away after about 4-5 days. I decided to pin shoulders the past two weeks and I love it. Today I tried to do my glute for the second time since that incident and I am always aspirating a little bit of blood and the pain while getting the needle in is different then the first few weeks. so I did my shoulder instead today.
This is my first cycle BTW. 1.25 cc's each injection
Does this happen because of crystallization or whatever from previous injections and theres some fluid still stuck in there. I have grown uncomfortable even using my glutes anymore. Is this common or have I somehow forgot how to pin the right spot??
Also, Its been over 10-12 days since I last pinned in my cheeks so I thought that would be enough time to let everything clear out.
Any optimism and insight will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Delt inject was a fail for me. Pinned with 25g 1 inch and I'm assuming the gear leaked out. I was injecting at a slow pace and still leaked. Anyways huge bump and redness for 6 days straight. Glutes were the sweet spot. Never failed. Ok 1 fail. Pinned through a vein or capillary which left a bruise and some pain. You do your research and hope it works. Live and learn. It's good to make mistakes but some never learn
I started pinning my ventro after someone in my post here mentioned it and its been amazing so far. no pain and no hassle. I also have done both pecs once with great success. I had some major redness in my shoulder for a few days but got my NP relative to give me an RX for an antibiotic just in case and I am fine.
I actually just recently had some tough PIP in my LEFT glute this time. Comparable to why I made this post but Id say half as bad. Not as bruised either. DIdnt have any aspriation or blood leaking problems. Could be the new compound but It just went away. I now have 8 spots to pin. Makes life easier. Good luck with everything bud. stay safe
Make sure you always rotate. give it 6 days minimum before you pin in the same spot again and it helps if you heat up the gear a little bit and massage the area after you inject. good luck to you and i hope you make the gains that you're hoping for from your cycle.
Not trying to argue here. I too was a site massager after injection until I ran across a member by the name of Viking who is damn knowledgeable. Not sure if he is here still but his posts and info is vital. Anyhow he stated to never massage the site after injection as it deteriorates the tissue or something to that effect. I think in a way it can create pip at times. You're agitating an area that was just inflicted a slight amount of trauma. As I said I too massaged but a month after reading Vikings thoughts on the issue I have not. I wouldn't of believed it before but there has been absolutely no soreness whatsoever after pinning. I know alot of other factors come into play concerning pip. I'm a believer now of letting the injection site be, after the alcohol wipe when done injecting.
oh i see ! thanks for sharing those informations with us brother ! i will try that for my next injections and see how it works !
No worries brother. All the credit goes to Viking. If you haven't already check this out...https://www.eroids.com/forum/general/general-talk/viking-tribute .... A compiled list of posts by the man himself. Valuable info in there.
I have always done my glutes and quads but never delts. What size did you use for that, wanting to give it a try
my short stocky friend at the gym never has done delts either. he said it freaks him out and all. I used a 1'' for my shoulders. I just dont push it balls deep lol.
Il have to give that a try so I can have some more spots open up, you think .75 good start
I use 5/8ths and 1". I prefer 1". No reason you can't put it in all the way, no homo.
Ha yeah sounds good thanks for the help
Poor site rotation sounds like , should have at least four sites to pin, so left glute would be pinned once every two weeks, right, etc..., allows time for absorption and let's the spot recover if any pip was present after injection... search Site Rotation, lots of info
Understood, I want to try the side of my quad but everyone I talk to says its a bitch. Might have to man up and just do it like NIke
Do quads,delts,glutes 1in 25 gauge the quads will be sore the first few times they are my favorite now but get some 1in pins for glutes should be fine and keep a steady hand I have had that knot a few times when my hand was bouncing around on the aspiration and injection.
Lol I hear ya, just rotate and should be g2g, but as stated below, could be a number of things. Good luck bro
RustyhookerGluten or ventro? I'd look elsewhere that the problem spot til it heals. Fever or chills?
Click my avi. Read my pip forum.
Glute.
RustyhookerFind your ventro glutes. Hands on hips with thumb towards butt crack. Flex gluten area. Your thumbs should feel it. Inch down and inch inside outer area.
Could be a number of things. What size needles are you using? Are you going deep enough actually into the muscle?
I knew I would forget info that would help. I am using a 1'' 23g no fever or chills just the swollen area. Totally gone now.
Not deep enough in the glute. 1.5". If you were a 150lb stick maybe a 1" would do. You're not, so you're not going deep enough.
that's what she said. I will be getting some bigger needles then asap then. Thank you
Lol - you sound like my training partner, he uses that line all the time.
Should solve the problem, but also start experimenting with other sites for better rotation. Check out Rustys forum on pip.
I already like your partner. sounds like a great dude. Thanks Cat.
