Pinning locations.

[JamJam]

I need a little advice on pinning location rotation. I usually stick to shots in the ass but I feel like I need to rotate and start using a different spot. I am completely against using quads , every time I try I hit a nerve or something and it goes bad every time. So my question is where is the easiest spot to pin (other than the ass) that has as little nerves as possible( in your opinion) I have gotten some needle freight recently from pinning in the quad and hitting a nerve a couple times so now I feel like every time I take a shot I’m gonna hit a nerve. Or is it completely fine to use pin only in the ass. I take test and deca three times a week. Thank you fellas

I pin my shoulders with a 28g 1/2" slin pin some oils may take alittle longer but no pain

That’s another issue I’m having. I’ve never had issues before but since hitting that nerve I second guess everything when it comes to pinning. I use 1-1/2” for my ass but what length for where ? 1/2” for delts? My sister who is a nurse tells me 1” is perfect for delts but man that seems long like I’ll hit a bone. I sound like a rookie but I’ve been doing this for years , never was concerned , hitting that nerve fucked me up. I super freaked out about it now. Like I’m gonna hit a nerve or go too deep and hit bone. I used to pin my pecs and biceps and quads like it was nothing. Now I’m scared as shit to try those places

1/2” to 5/8” is fine for delts unless you have a deep layer of fat for some reason. 1” is fine for glutes. Just inject slow and you shouldn’t have any issues with it not going into the muscle. Slin pins work great for delts.

Place index finger on bottom of shoulder bone. Inject 2-3 fingers down from that dead center of anterior delt.

I also use traps. Easy to hit with a slin pin. Aim for the middle, not the neck side of the muscle. If it’s a compound that gives PIP don’t pin the traps as it’ll give you a stiff neck for days.

Have someone pin you, like this:

 

[brock8282]

Lats are a pretty pain free easy injection site as long as you can reach them comfortably

 

[FM19]

Try 27g pin ... delts, glutes, and vg are painless. I also do chest, bis, and tris. I hate quads, always seem to hit nerves and old scar tissue.

I tried that one myself. Couldn’t see for a few days and the pip was terrible

I really like pecs for .5ml and under with 1/2" 28 or 29 gauge

Nerves are everywhere.

You can pin in the Glutes of course. But scar tissue does build up...so rotating sites helps reduce the amount.

Personally, I rotate shoulders, glutes and quads. Using 1 inch 25 gauge. Which is pretty standard.

Just re-check you injection site online for where to place on the quads...and you can move it around some too. Maybe you need to move further up the leg? IDK.

Shoulders are fine with 1 inch needles. IMO you will have more trouble injecting too much oil in the shoulder. I can't exceed more then 2 ml.

Worst case, just do glutes and shoulders.

PPl do chest, calves, pecs. I just have heard problems with these areas. But I suppose some trial and error if you want to be brave? I am not that brave.

I rotate delts with glutes. Fuck quads, I've tried different oils and pins and heat/no heat and my quads swell up bad for 2-3 days. I tried 1/2" 27G for delts and one ended up with a decent knot on it for a couple days... probably unrelated or I did something pushing on the plunger like a gorilla. I just don't like trying to smash oil thru that small of a pin though so I just use 23G 1" for everything. Inject slow and rub it down a bit after and have very little PIP

Did you go from 27g to 23g??

Why not do 25g which is in between. Definitely more scar tissue going to build at 23g. But if it works for you then I suppose all good.

 

[JamJam]

I’m not even sure what gage I use. I think 23. Which now seems huge , maybe I need to go down in needle size and stop over thinking this. I cringe now thinking about going in quads

I've been all over the board. 22 for a while way early on because I had easy access to them. Decided I wanted smaller for scar tissue avoidance and tried the 27 for delts and hated them. I'll get some 25g and give them a go I just know I wasn't happy with the 27s, you have much issue pinning any oils thru them?

Not at all. But I can see how the 27g would be thin and harder to push oil thru.

Grab some 25g and I think you will find a happy medium.

VG as stated above however i have hit a nerve in there too and it was the worst ever. Limping for days, couldn’t run, doctor I work with asked what was going on. I couldn’t be honest but he assessed me and said I pulled my glute muscle and wrote me script for 10 day course of steroids. Other than that it is easy access and pain free, like going in butter

Though, is aspiration still something followed religiously? I can't say I have been doing that...

For me personally, I have done: Lat, Delt, and Glute.

I stopped doing Delt for awhile after I hit a nerve or something and completely had PTSD - so I have been doing glute and lat lol.

21G needle currently; however, reading more and more I may change that to a 25G.

I'll give them a shot and see how they go, thanks man.

yikes a 21g!!!!! Definitely go to 25 especially using jpal gear. Might even be able to go smaller.

 

[biggd]

30 gauge 1/2” insulin needles works great for me. Sometimes if I remember to do it, I heat the oil a little under hot water in sink for about 15-20 seconds and then cool it down a little under cold too. But sometimes I forget to heat it and it just takes a little longer to push through.

I was really surprised the first time I did a delt injection because I didn’t even feel it go in using these small pins. Not like back in the day when we only used 1.5” 18-20 gauge harpoons from feed stores.

Haha... Yeah... Good idea, lol! Trust me, I wouldn't mind going with a smaller one!

I was wrong. I use 22g 1-1/2”. Gonna try 25g next order assorted lengths.

That’s funny as hell man that’s where I used to get my pins before I started ordering on Amazon. Thought I was the only one

This is why I’m so screwed up about this pinning. I used to use those big ass needles from the feed and seed store 10 years ago and pin my quads only and never had a problem. Idk why the fuck now with smaller needles I’ve turned into a puss about needles. I hit a nerve several weeks ago that made my leg kick and hurt like hell for a week. That one incident has caused me to second guess every time I am about to place the needle.

I dont aspirate anymore but for a new site I'd def recommend it. Only takes a second to do lol

25 is what I use. Doesnt take long to draw or inject

Yeah for me it was 20 years ago and we didn’t have amazon obviously. Most my buddies reused needles by boiling them and then they would resharpen them. Crazy shit.

Back then I hit a nerve in my quad too and never pinned there again. It was warm, hurt bad and walked with a limp for awhile and swear the muscle looks different now too. Like the outer quad lost a little size and moved up a little permanently.

Love these 30g 1/2” insulin pins. I prefer the shoulder now because of them.

Ventral glutes are pain free. You won’t hit a nerve there
