ok I know most of you guys inject into glutes..kinda difficult to do myself. I have done delts before with no problem. was thinking of quads. What do you guys think? What size pin should I use for quads? I'm 5-6 150lbs 12% b/f

I have used 1" 25g for quads.
Some people like quads. I am not a fan.

a lot of people use quads. look at http://spotinjections.com/index3.htm

the standard is a 1inch pin for quads like mentioned above. i personally dont like doing quads a lot. just me. there are a lot of nerves and veins to hit. it just kinda creeps me out, lol. still, a lot of people do quads all the time

In your opinion Sam what is the best location to pin that you don't have to worry about hitting a nerve? And also is it okay to just pin in that one location all the time, or should switch locations each time you pin?

Quads are very easy to hit.Pecs as well.Pecs are scary the first time though.Stabbing yourself in the chest is a scary thought when looking at the pin but once you do it,its not too bad at all.25gx1 inch is perfect for both although I have used 1 1/2 on quads with no problem.

I used t pin in the quads all the time. Painful…. I remember the first time I stuck myself in the leg I almost passed out watching the needle go in. but you get used to it. You have to alternate injection sites or you will get injection site burn out. Google it it’s not good. There are actually youtube videos out there you can watch on how to stick yourself. Or you can enlist the help of someone to do it for you. My girlfriend sticks me.

I dont remember what its called,but the hip area is another easy spot to hit which has lots of meat.Its called anterior something or other.LOL.Its actually between your waist and your upper thigh on your side.I'll try to find something on it and post it up.

try to use as many sites as possible. the more sites, the less scar tissue. if you have a hard time seeing your glutes, you can stand infront of a mirror to do them

I've been doing them in the glutes for some time. However know with the addition to whinny I have to explore new spots. With the glutes it was a no brainier i really didn't have to aspirate. (didn't know how to). Now go elsewhere it makes sense to get into the practice of it. How far should I pull the syringe back when aspirating?

You only need to pull back a little bit.You'll know right away if you hit a vein instantly because you'll see blood when you draw back on the plunger.

okay, what do you do if you do hit blood? is it a wasted shot or can you pull and re-insert?

Yes,you can just pull it out and stick another spot.Don't forget to swab the new spot with alcohol.

i rotate each side on delts, glutes, and thighs. ive come to like the thigh the most just bc its so easy, you sit down and its right in front of you. dont let the first 1 or 2 pins run you away, a virgin muscle will usually be sore and it sucks, but the pain will stop after a few. glutes are also good to pin but they will get harder to do as you get thicker, and you may start getting cramps in the process. delts are pretty easy too, just hard to aspirate with one hand. when i pin my thighs, i place the tips of my fingers on outer knee and pin right about when my thumb muscle is. also the hip injections that were mentioned early is called a ventros injection. suppose to be able to inject larger amounts there but ive never tried it. and ive debated on the chest injections but i heard someone say thats like a direct gyno injection. not sure how true that is, but made me decide not to try.

Pecs are a super easy place to hit.The gyno thing is not the case.If you're prone to it,no mastter where you stick,you're gonna get it.Chest injections will make it happen any faster or worsen it.
