Is it ok to never pin glutes?

I hate pinning my glutes, its awkward and I usually end up moving the needle around a lot.

Would it be fine to just rotate delts and quads? Quads are by far my favorite and the first muscle I ever pinned. I can just sit back relax and pin as slow as I want.


Just got thru pinning glutes and it sucked, my butt hurts now. :mad:


Also does anyone pin your pecs?
 
delts and quads is all i do. i do a 4 time a week rotation on cuts.
 
If you're pinning short esters like prop and tren ace for anything more than a few weeks, you should start using the glute sites. If you're only doing injections 2x a week, you're fine as you are. My first cycle I stuck to just quads and it was just fine.

There are actually 2 glute sites you can inject - look up ventrogluteal and dorsogluteal (the one everyone knows about) injections.

The ventrogluteal site is actually the best site, and medically recommended nowadays for IM injections. People still stick to pinning dorsogluteal, no idea why.

I heard you can pin quite a bit of oil ventrogluteal, I think people shy away from it because it's a little harder to find that the dorso.


Think Im going to try it next time. Thanks bro

why is this? just curious on your thoughts. i do delts and quads even with prop and ace. having two delts and two quads, how is it any different then pinning longer esters in quads only for a cycle, which many people do, since your only hitting the one area once a week.

EDIT: let me rephrase...cuz i know it may be different for some who do it ED, i use the EOD method, sunday tues thurs and sat

If you're pinning every day for many weeks and using the same sites and doing multiple cycles, developing scar tissue is a risk. We're in the business of minimizing harm here.
Hitting the area once a week only is fine.
 
yeah. didnt really think about the ED vs EOD thing when i posted haha
 
Only ever done glutes, no problemo...Although left check is a little more painful when pinning,,,why? I don't know.....

I am going to try quads soon...
 
Is this PIP, or pain while injecting? Just curious... I've only had the couple-day soreness comparable to a flu shot in the shoulder, and assuming that's normal. Glute seems to have no nerves below the skin.

Little bit of soreness after injecting glutes nothing too bad just annoying. It's from wiggling around the needle too much im sure because I dont get it anywhere else.
 
I never pin glutes. Cant reach them! Haha.

Chest, ventroglute, shoulders. Thats it.
 
Pin wherever you're comfortable. Don't concentrate too much in one spot though you don't want scar tissue to build up.
 
I've been pinning EOD on quads/delts for a few months now and scar tissue is getting pretty bad. On some spots on quads I can't even push the oil anymore hehe. Anyway I'm off soon and will try pecs/tri's when I go on lower volume injections on the next cycle.

I used pin in biceps, triceps and even pecks - but stopped for PCT, and then I could never get back into it. I've tried pinning my bicep a few weeks ago, couldn't find a right spot. And it was so painful I just gave up (I think my old needles were sharper).

As far as pinning glutes goes. I ended up with a sterile abscess on my left gluteus at the beginning of this year. As you can imagine thats when I stopped pinning glutes. Although Its been 9 months now and I am curious to try them again.:thinking:
 
When I first started pinning my glutes I always had pip and I couldn't figure out why. What I didn't know at the time was that I thought I was hitting my ventroglutes, but I was way off. As soon as I started hitting the right spot, it was a world of difference

Delts are my favorite site by far. But, glutes are the only spot I can stick 3ml comfortably
 
slight change in topic,

When pinning delts and quads how deep are you going, using as 1" needle.

What is the max volume you inj. 1ml - 2ml -3ml at each location
 
You can push that 1" all the way in both delts and quads. However, you actually dont need that much length for those 2 spots, unless your body fat is very high. I do all my delt injections with a 30g .5" slin pin.

People are very different on max ml for different sites, but for me 2ml max for my delts, 3.5ml max for my glutes, and 1ml max for my triceps and lats. Those are the only sites I use.
 
If I pin 3ml into my delt it tends to run out after I pull out the needle. So I started using 1.5 inch. But for most 1inch is good.

You pin 3ml in your delts? thats alot of oil for that site
 
Yep, I have large shoulders so if I get it deep enough it holds it fine.
 
Ya ! scar tissue as been a concern for me at times ,regarding my glutes....sometimes i got leather butt,when trying to pin.
shoulders and chest are cool for me....hmmm! traps and lats might be the ticket for me
Isnt research beautiful and i just keep getting beegah !!!! :cool:
 
Same here, I even did 3.5ml in delts once but that was pushing it. I usually stick to 2.5/3ml in delts, just make sure you keep the needle in a bit longer so it doesn't seep out and warm it up after to let the oil dissipate.
