Yes another pin thread, vets, what size pins have you transitioned into for comfortability

[Vision]

When we first embraced the way of life we listen to local gym rats or someone that we assumed that didn't know what they're talking about because naturally we knew nothing, and for the selected few that had the ability to do research ahead of time good for you. Back in our days with many of our seasoned veterans whatever information we heard we took it as a gold standard, and yes that included 18-20g pins.
After years of scar tissue, bad injections, infections and overall discomfort and scar tissue. The older you get it's equivalent to investing into a nice pair of golf clubs for that nice easy day out on the Green.
You get what you pay for and ultimately you learn we've all been there and most of us have had some serious gushers some even squirting on the wall.

I did not have a chance to photo the majority of my arsenal, I use 27g 1/2 and 5/8, 30g half inch, for quads, pecs , delts, VGs.. BD 1" 25g VG if I'm using more volume and also for glutes, I use an assortment of brands, ever 25g 1.5 for glutes when using blends, I mostly use BD barrels and I just change out my tips.. I unfortunately did not take a photo of all of my insulin pin..

And if you're asking about the plastic case, I purchased this in the school supply section A few years ago for students to hold their pencils and crayons.
I sanitize it regularly I keep fresh galls inside of it and alcohol available. I hold what I need and it stores very well and out of sight out of mind. Cleaning the surface with alcohol and laying down a fresh galls pad to break down and disassemble my tips and barrels go directly on top of that, along with multiple other methods of sterilization like wiping down bottles. Because of this practice I have not had an infection or a bad episode worth being concerned about

Slins all day, every day. 25g x 1" is the biggest I'll go when doing volume.

 

[samgraves82]

I like 25g for glutes and VG and 1/2in 29g for quads delts

I occasionally do 1 in 25 in the glutes but as long as it's not a blend I'm okay, if it is a blend I'm going to bury it just a little bit deeper.. I saved the majority of my conventional oils at 1ml. Using other muscle heads, it's much more comfortable. No fuss no muss.. but God dang it my glute are still to this day the most sensitive..

I have used 25g 1in for years when I first started I was told to use 23s

Seriously? Haven't we covered this a few times the last couple days? Sheesh

I use 27Gx3/4"for all parts of the body.


30G for peptides.

in the past I used 23 g and very long, then I move on to 25 g and now 27.


obviously it takes more time for injection, but much less side

I'm not exactly sure but that's why I worded it to vets.. if you don't like the fucking conversation then don't fucking reply.
If you want to participate then answer the fucking question.
I'm asking veterans who have probably pinned more gear than you have done and 10 lifetimes. Really no need for the sarcasm or criticism. I'm dialing in specific types of gauges and sizes I'm not asking the generic question is a 23g okay..

 

[zionoir626]

With the new carrier oils you can use smaller pins....But the thinner the oil causes other issues.
I still use the big boys for glutes..22 x 1 1/2....25 x 1 for everything else..started with 21's...

I'm currently using 22 1.5 inch BDs for quads and glutes and absolutley loving it. I generally use 3cc with these injections. And I also use 25g 1 inch for everything else. In my shirt run I've built up a ton of scar tissue in my delts and I try not to pin them anymore. The more I lean out I'm finding some more locations to pin.

This is why I asked the question cuz I'm just curious on who's doing what, your protocol is equivalent to using a galvanized nail. I'm not suggesting that I never use the larger gauges in the past, but the initial reason of the post is to see exactly how and where everyone transitioned for comfortability, mobility and most of all to avoid scar tissue.
I did use some of the big boys way back in the earlier days, only because it was all we could get. Those were the times when whoever had any product available in the local gym, we just bought whatever we could get whether it was a bottle EQ , or sust amps, Russian sust, Portugal or even Polish, and of course the occasional mexican dbol.. I remember back then we were paying 125 or 150, depending if the guy liked you or not. LOL...

23G 1.5" I hate how slow 25g flows and how hard I have to mash the plunger. Plus when taking B Complex shots (best hangover cure) placing them deep in the glute they dont sting at all.
Pharma oils tend to be thick also. I like deep tissue injections and smooth flowing depression of the plunger.

 

[BigDaddy35]

I was using 23ga 1” but recently switched to 25ga 5/8” for most body parts. Glutes I don't worry too much about and will still use some of my 23ga 1.5” I have laying around. I try and go the smallest gauge for quads, though. I always have issues with pinning there.

Me too, quad shots hurt worst of all for me. I'd rather take a shot in each delt than a quad shot, I dont do them any more. Even Mast E and Primo sting me i with Quad shots.

Watch your mouth. No need for that kind of language.

25g 1” for the most part but I’ve been switching to slin pins here lately just have to go slower which is no big deal. The slower the less painful...

Same here I try and avoid them at all costs. It never fails when I pin quads. I also seem to regret it in the end.

Here at ASF we respect our Vets...the years of giving back,helping others and putting up with the SAME damn questions..
Vis is not only a great guy but my Friend...So No..You didn't fully read the 1st post and you owe him an apology..The man has taught me a great deal..not to mention has helped thousands here..You need to watch how You talk to people you might 1 day need their help..I will never sit by and let anyone disrespect Vets..Not while I'm still here

 

[Elit3Swagg]

Vis,

Its funny how pinning has evolved. Years ago when I first started it was recommended to use a 23g 1.5, damn those days sucked. If only I knew what I know now.

Now a days it's 25g 5/8 for eveything, if I'm feeling extra patient 27g 1/2 inch or a 29g slin for smaller muscle groups.

I used to pin quads pretty regular but these days I have peen mainly pinning different locations on my delts, and VG.

Might go back to quads, I always seem to hit nerves, maybe I need to freshen up my technique in that area.

I used 18g to draw and 22g 1 1/2” to pin. Never used anything else. I pin gluts and delts. I’ve used 22g 1 1/2” for 20+ years with no scar tissue to speak of. I stay 3cc or less on gluts and 2cc or less in delts.

An apology for what? If it makes sense I'll do it, if not then oh well.

Doubtful I'll need their help. My experience dates back to the mid 90s. Thanks though

Then leave this forum....

Because we help each other here..But mainly because and member with 203 post don't give Vets crap...I only picked up on it because Vis doesn't normally respond that way...and I back my friends and the people how give back...you sir are not one a good start..

 

[GSD]

203 posts determines vet status? Dude I'm 50yrs young. I've been slammin gear since the mid 90s. If anyone is a vet here, it's me. By far. Or do you mean board vet status? I'll leave no sweat but I didn't say anything that would warrant an apology. In case you haven't noticed there's been 84 posts about "pins" in the last several days. Just thought another pin thread would be repetitively redundant. Definitely not trying to stir up anything outside the pit so let's not get excited. And Definitely didn't have ill intent behind anything I've said on this thread.

You probably have not seen it but there is a running joke started by mini mouse asking if anyone knows where to get pins and it's been downhill ever since

Anyways, hope you been doing well my friend.

I can tell you didn't mean anything by it and I respect my elders, so I'll just let you know that it's proper forum etiquette to show a little respect to long time moderators like Vision. As in, there was really no need to post what you did, "geez, why another post about pins?" That's something you may think to yourself, but why take the time to post it? There's no benefit to you and it ended up 'stirring the pot' even if inadvertantly.

Thanks...I guess.
