i pinned my left delt tonight, but i went a little too high up. i got the spot right under my shoulder blade i guess you would call it. it didnt hurt or anything, everything went fine but the muscle obviously isnt as thick there as it is in the middle of the side delt. anything to worry about? like it should absorb just as well there as long as it all got into muscle tissue. there isnt really anything else in that area i could have hit besides muscle tissue right? so it has to absorb just as well?

Probably nothing to be worried about unless there was severe pain when you injected. Watch it for a few days see if it starts to really hurt or swell.

personally i don't pin on my delts i use thin needles and pin on the 4 areas of each ass cheek and my quad...plenty of meat there....just takes a min or so to get all the juice into my ass b/c of the thin pin

What a tool

No problem. A couple of times I've had delt shots injected in a weird spot but it doesn't cause a problem, just discomfort.

AC Slater · « **Reply #7 on:** February 21, 2010, 07:18:04 PM »

no discomfort at all. i just wanted to be sure i actually got the oil into the muscle and not somewhere else

If you inject to high on the delt you can actually enter the joint capsule or subacromial space. Its possible to reach these areas with a 1 1/2 in pin. Staying in the middle is the best bet.

Using a one and a half inch pin for a delt inject is a bad idea even if ur not shooting high

jerseymuscles113 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 23, 2010, 12:20:14 PM »

i use 1 1/2in 23g for everything(except subQ of course) just Don.'t go in all the way except on glutes...delts And quads i go in About 1inch

i was using a 1inch pin. would i have felt pain if i entered one of those places? like i said it didnt feel any out of the ordinary, but i just went too high on accident

Your fine broski

g101 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 24, 2010, 05:28:24 PM »

there is doctors who use 1.5 inch in shoulders... just so u guys know..

also pin size has more to do with how much fat you hold to makesure you get into the muscle and not inject into the fat

ive been using 1.5 for delts quads glutes for years and years and nothing is wrong

tstmaniac · « **Reply #14 on:** February 24, 2010, 05:39:58 PM »

If someone is that fat that they need to use a one and a half on their delts they shouldn't be taking steroids

jerseymuscles113 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 24, 2010, 06:01:22 PM »

Lmfao x2 soooo true....i do use 1 1/2's everywhere thou i just Don.'t go in all the way

g101 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 24, 2010, 06:57:05 PM »

also guys dont inject less than 25g... you can even use 27g it takes alot more time but its good if you have the patience!

tstmaniac · « **Reply #17 on:** February 24, 2010, 07:03:37 PM »

The amount of time it would take to inject with a 27 guage would create scar tissue by moving the needle around

g101 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2010, 07:06:38 PM »

some doctor said to use 27g for cyp but imo like you said it would take wayyyy too long.. 25g is perfect to shoot and either 21g or 22g to draw

4thAD · « **Reply #19 on:** February 24, 2010, 07:08:01 PM »

23g works well also for injection. Why do you say use only a 25 or smaller?

g101 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 24, 2010, 07:11:54 PM »

thats my opinion... smaller needle less pain etc etc

mrgut · « **Reply #21 on:** February 24, 2010, 08:15:33 PM »

Only 18g 1.5in for me!

Nah, but do use them on occasion when wanting to inject a few cc's. Usually 23g 1in. everywhere.

jerseymuscles113 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 24, 2010, 08:44:08 PM »

you inject with a 18g on occasion??

tstmaniac · « **Reply #23 on:** February 24, 2010, 08:54:50 PM »

IMO a 23 guage is the best all around for injects...shit when I first started taking shit I injected with a 16 guage...holy shit that hurt

jerseymuscles113 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 24, 2010, 09:17:06 PM »

lol 16g? Fuck that pins are easy enough to get i won't go bigger than 23
