My first spot injection other than lateral thighs or glutes

[bravo]

Got tired of hitting my lateral thighs for a double 2 x/week and I ain't so comfortable w/ glute shots, so I hit my vastus medialis and what a great spot   vitually painless and 2cc's per vastus was just enough to feel the capsule volumizing but not enough to cause any discomfort....just had to watch out for my veins.....got way too many of them..........( thats about my only genetic gift  )  used a 1 inch 22G needle.

at least now I can give my lateral thighs a break and hit them every other time

now its off to the dungeon for a sick, nausea inducing leg workout......

BTW, just upped my current 15 weeker (in my 5th wk) to an even 20 weeks   Thanks DIV!!........ooooooohhhh  yeaaaaah!!!(that should be said with your best Randy "Macho Man" Savage impersonation  )

I only shoot in my delts and quads, but eventually I'll have to start moving on to pecs, biceps, triceps......

If I'm feeling salty I might try a calf inject to see if it's really all that bad.

No reason to think it's not a good spot.  The medial vastus is a nice big and juicy muscle (I see it alot, actually  --it's quite good on toast).  There can be a few surface veins but there isn't any important vascular leash coursing through it.  Just stay more in the upper half of the belly with that shorter pin (1") so you don't acidentally pin the joint.

I do stand corrected, and (now) ONLY pin my Quads.
Admittedly, have experimented - with areas with no
(or little) negative resultant pain and it seems that
larger (potentially safe) volumes may be used in
these larger muscle groups.

**I can pin the quads and work out (legs) the day
of or the day after with minimal discomfort.

I would like to compare notes (may ?PM? at some point)
with you guys about other areas too...

[Luv2Hurt]

bravo any particular reason you stay away from glutes, other than personal preference?

I'm thinking maybe the area is a little too prone to bacterial issues, unless you are extremely meticulous.

[bravo]

no glutes strictly because I get a cramp in my lat when trying to get back there and I don't like the way it feels when the pin is moving around in there.....feels kinda weird

Just make sure and wipe  R E A L L Y  good.    your ass - that is . . . 

Or fast for 3 days before you pin yourself . . .

aw man

Who  wipes?

who deleted my post. the glutes seems like the easiest place to stick, for me it is

I inject directly after a shower, so contamination is not a problem.

Never had an abscess.

Same here.

And, if people are injecting into the upper, outer portion of the glute and not right next to their anus I don't think "bacterial issues" (as Luv2hurt said) will be an issue as long as the area is thoroughly cleaned w/ alcohol.

I would think that'd be common sense, Blakester......

Please don't tell me some of the guys out here are injecting right next to their ass crack   But I bet there are a couple of retards like this floating around.

I get that same cramp--I sort've have to twist uncomfortably to be in the right spot (upper-outer quadrant) and to stay square so as not to bend the pin.  I can only do this well on the right side, and I stand in front of the mirror when I do it.

Damn - I thought IT was just me
getting geeked cramp when
reaching . . .

NOT a joke though . . .

That's the reason I don't do glute shots.........my lats and abs cramp up from holding that position.

Delts and glutes are fine for now......

thats all i use and honestly, im afraid of pinning anywhere else, just delts and glutes, i can put 3ml into both spots and i have never had a problem even in the delts, i dont even get sore. but u all r right, its a bitch to pin glutes but for now im giving them a break and just using delts. i really want to try triceps sometime. Can any one comment on tricep injections and what r ur experiences from it\

Your gonna say that the area you shit from and sit on a toilet with is not more prone to nasty bacteria than say...your delt?  Come on guess what, you cant see the germs and they (the germs) are insidious.

Like I say......I'm not gonna risk that shit (pun intended)!

Delts and Quads!!!!

what aspect of your delt do you hit? front or lateral head? 1 inch or 1.5 inch? 2cc's or 3 per hit? any stiffness after?

[Luv2Hurt]

I like to hit the lateral head, although a bud of mine who uses lots more gear than me hits the rear delt at times.  Thats just because he's searching for new sites all the time, too much use over the years.

Use a 1" pin 25g or 23g the 25 takes a little too much pressure and it causes you to move it around too much while injecting.  I like to keep delt injections to 1.5-2 ML, not really that big of a muscle compared to glutes or quads.

Im guessing the front delt might be a poor choice because of all the tendons and things in that area.  FreakfestMD, any input on this?

I've noticed this......and it's a pain in the ass.

The more scar tissue that builds up, the harder it is to inject.

In an "ideal world" front delt would be fine, assuming you have a nice juicy belly there.  A 1" pin should be fine.  But, yes, deeper there are LOTS of things crossing that plane and I suppose a very misdirected shot could cause problems. 

I think the thing I would worry more about than the risk of the actual pinning of that site is the potential for complications related to abcess formation there.  Managing a lateral delt abcess would be MUCH easier.
