What's the ideal time of day to pin?

[Hereford]

Some guys like to pin right before bed, others first thing in the AM on the day scheduled....

I would think like maybe an hour before hitting the gym?

Anybody have an opinion?

[Rimbaud]

Whenever you have time/can...

[4thAD]

Whenever you want to. Makes no difference as long as you get it done.

[iron_dawg]

if your going to pin say bi's or tri's or chest hit it before going to the gym other than that when you got time

As far as pain goes, yes you are correct I_D. It will help you not to be as soar later on. I forget about that as I don't get too sore.

or if i do it after the gym try and leave it an hour +!!

I usually pin in the morning right after showering (I'm get serious for a minute).

I try to do that when possible.

You know what becomes painful? Pinning your quads after training legs.

Rimbaud, you should know better than that.

You don't pin a muscle group AFTER training.

Counter-productive and a bit painful.

One of these days I'm going to be stupid enough to pin my calves with 1" needles.

Then forearms.

I didn't say I do it with regularity. I just pointed out that it's painful.

I've got large forearms........I could go 5/8" at the very bottom of the forearm.

It might sting, but so did biceps and now I pin biceps all the time....

My biceps are like pin cushions.

I'm sure the outcome will be soreness and probably swelling.

I remember when pinning biceps was a new thing, now it's not a big deal at all.
