Pinning quads

[302jrob]

I hear a lot of back and forth on this.
What’s your take on pinning quads.

 

[Astro95]

No go for me. Definitely an injectable site, even recommended by docs, but I ain’t no doc nor a pinning specialist so I won’t roll the dice on a messed up injection there.

The key is finding the spot on your quad you can pin with no issues.

 

[ShugaG]

I only pin quads when doing shorter esters and need to give my glutes a break. I also never pin higher concentrations into my quads because they tend to get hot and sometimes get a knot or some swelling.

It’s my favorite injection site.

 

[Battousai]

Love it. So easy.

 

[Johnnyhartly]

Quad is my fav. I love how easily you can see and pin urself. Very great angle.

 

[LiftWeightsEatSteaks]

Contemplating pinning my quads this week, I always only pin in the glutes. Looking at what people are saying and it seems pretty easy, but I'd have to find that sweet spot

Hint... it's higher on your quad than you think

 

[Boykinben82]

I pin my quads in normal rotation. It’s the easiest place to pin for me and I get less pip then in other places.

 

[tommygunz]

Quads are big muscles that can hold a lot. Just rotate through all of your sites though to prevent as much scar tissue as possible.

Oh and BTW calves and forearms are a no go. Too many moving parts. Trust me lol.

I’m a bigger guy...6’4 and around 245-247....it’s tough to pin shoulders and glutes because I’m not that flexible. Quads work for me

 

[Gmm318]

Quads were always my go to until recently. Super simple to sit down, relax my leg, and pin. Once you find the “spot,” it’s nice. I did have one bad pin recently which changed my feelings towards quads. I went a little too far to the side, and was left with THE WORST PIP ever. I’ve been pinning ventroglute instead for about a month now and don’t think I’ll look back. Always good to have another site to pin though

 

[GasmanX]

primary site for me. 25g 1/2 inch needle. No issues other than occasional bleed from the site.

As I’m checking this I see another thread where guy has an issue pinning there. I don’t need any issues man. I do glutes and delts. What other spots do you like or prefer? Thanks in advance!

I do Pecs, delts, lats and glutes bro.

 

[302jrob]

Pecs and lats. .hmmmm.. I got some good lats to hit ..pecs sounds shady but gotta man up I guess.. I’m gonna stay away from quads.
Thanks again

 

[Multislacking]

Quads I like. Pecs, not so much. I had one blow up one time and it was pretty bad. It's usually just that "one bad shot" that makes people leery of pinning there again.

One more question: size pin for lats. I’ve got 1” 23g and 1”25 guage. Probably 1/2” or 5/8 be better?

I’ll bet.. I haven’t had any issues with delts and glutes. I have antibiotics and shit like that but I’m trying to avoid shady locations.

One of the easiest things to do is limit the volume of how much is injected. Most of the pip, swollen, etc is NOT from an infection. Using less oil and smaller needles goes a long way to alleviating injection problems. The downside is it means more frequent pinning. But on the upside, you get more stable (hormone) blood levels.

 

[Meetketchup]

Quads are great until you occasionally hit a spot that balls up and lasts for 4 or 5 days.

How much in your opinion is to much? Right now I’m at 1.25 ml. Per pin… soon will be at 1.75ml per.. I’m guessing 1 ml per pin would be ideal?

That's going to be totally subjective and up to the individual. Your body could have a slight intolerance to a particular carrier oil. So 1ml of gso may hit you differently than 1ml of mct. Know what I mean?

I pin with either 27 or 28 1/2” pin on everything except glutes. You can use a 25 1” on lats if you want, they can also take some volume. Pin in the meaty part of the lat about middle or down on the lower lat area. I like lower. Stay away from being high up close to the arm pit. I pin anywhere from 1-3ml per lat. I try to keep at 2 or less. Pecs anywhere from 1-1.5ml per pec lesser volume easier the pin obviously, so for new sites start with lower volume. Pecs I pin about an inch inch a half below the collar bone.

 

[Ckmeter]

Just don’t. Anywhere but quad.

Gotcha.. every thing I have is mct.. except some Superdrol and I still don’t know what’s in that. But it’s smooth.. my injections are a lil sore for 24 hrs then gone. I had switched to 23 guage bc I’m so impatient..but I’m back to using 25 g for everything at less volume. Live and learn I guess..I was pinning 2/12 ml in delts with 23 g 1”.. that one was sore for 48 hrs. 😂

Good info
Thank you!

I just gotta man up and hit the lats.. I have such bad mobility I don’t know if I can do it.
Can barely reach across my body.. the cycle has been going really well.😀
