A shot in the butt

[ezred]

Well the first pin is down. my pins arrived today. well, one of the orders. had my 23g needles and some drawing needles and such.

big props to cheappinz for being awesome.

anyway, so i kept everything clean and legit, loaded up a pin and then did the deed. nothing fancy, just a couple of ml in the ass. fun times.

it's been a while since i put a needle in my body... last time was giving myself stitches when the outside of my right calf got opened up pretty good by a piece of shrapnel. the 23g went in super easy. put a bit of pressure on the skin and then i just eased it ever so slightly and it start sliding on in. used a 1.5" needle although 1 would've been more than long enough i think.

is there a benefit to shooting deep into the muscle like that or does it matter much?

anyway, so we're off to the races! no blood when i aspirated, none after pulling out... swabbed it again and massaged it with the swab on there. got a bit of a dead-ass type feeling deep in there though not much, we'll see how it is tomorrow.

thanks for all the help so far guys, i'll be coming around for more of it i'm sure!

by the way this was gp test-e 250 and i did 1.2ml. will be pinning on a friday night/tuesday morning schedule.

so that's that. can't wait until it starts kicking in!

lol. yeah well i sound worse talking about sticking oils in my ass.

thanks guys, i'll probably start up a progress log at some point.

i'll be pretty happy if i can crack into the 220's without water/after the water by the end of this cycle. 8 pounds of lbm added? who knows, but i'll be stoked if i can hit that.

Congrats. Starting #2 soon. Btw, I just left tokyo this morning... Weather won't be too great this weekend!

Btw, I would think 1" pins would be more than enough, but I am interested to hear what people have to say..

nice, you in japan steady or did you leave japan when you left tokyo?

i'm actually excited for the storm... been a while since we had a good hard one!

yeah i think the 1 inch needles would be fine. i wasn't gonna jam it all the way in there but as i aspirated it kinda pushed in the rest of the way. i'll buy 1 inchers in the future i think. maybe 25g.

 

[THE-DET-OAK]

25 gauge 1inch are the best IMO-i even stick those in my ass.

yeah i think i'm going to go that route also. the inch and half was like uh... this is long... if going deeper doesn't provide any benefits i will definitely be using the 25g 1 inch pins. i have some on the way already should be here in the next couple of days. pain-wise the 23 was nothing though. just that little prick on the skin as you make contact but the rest of the way was just like "ope, there it goes." like doing acupuncture... to myself...

 

[cyto33]

i use 1.5" right now i fucked up my order and got those so what the hell i just burried the pipe and shoot. i like 1" so much better tho.

Congrats bro. Welcome to the club!!!!!

 

[scotimusprime]

22g 1.5" for my ass, I can handle the big pricks

22g 1.5" for my ass, I can handle the big pricks

like the length and the girth huh. to each his own. i'm leaning towards being a "size doesn't matter" kind of guy and move over to 25g 1" although my next pin will probably be a 22g 1" to try out the shorter sticker.

we'll see.

TINY bit of soreness but barely noticeable. i just woke up so i'm sure what little tightness there is will get gone quick

 

[scotimusprime]

I just like the 22gcuz they load and unload faster. Bigger,stronger,faster

Welcome!

23 g 1.5 inch is good for the booty.

My advice would be to dart it in instead of pushing it slowly.

Also, make sure you cleanse the area with alcohol pad prior to injecting. Other than that, looks like you did well!

See you in 6 weeks.

welcome to the club bro.

 

[ECKSRATED]

I like to get inch and a halfer and bite the cap and leave about a quarter inch so it acts as a stopper instead of the base of the needle going into your skin. And leaves less of a mark on your skin. Works best for me and always tell people to try it.

My advice would be to dart it in instead of pushing it slowly.

Any particular reasoning behind this?

I was under the impression that a slow(er), controlled, precise pressing motion would go in clean, straight, and smooth and help minimize the chance of scar tissue forming, etc.

I think a lot of people dart because they don't like pricking themselves and find it easier to do that way? That aspect is not an issue for me. And I have VERY steady hands.

Anyway, if I'm wrong and darting is the way to go from a clean wound and damage vs healing perspective then that would be good to know, but I've always thought people darted more out of fear of the stick than anything else.

I was very clean with my prep and everything. The swabbing, all that is on lockdown. I wear surgical gloves when I do it too but that's just me and i find it helps me grip and control the needle better with my big hands.

anyway, yeah let me know what your thoughts are on insertion and why you recommend the dart method, thanks for the response!
