First Quad Pin.....HOLY SH*T!

So I have done several cycles, always pinning glutes. Yesterday I decided to mix my quads into the rotation. I am in week 4 of a cycle of 600mg of Test Cyp and have had very minimal PIP in any glute pin so far. Pinned my quad yesterday and today feel like I got leg kicked by Forrest Griffin! 23G 1" pin and went slow as hell. I have had some rough PIP before but usually with Test400 and such. Not here to bitch....just wondering if the quads are more sensitive regarding PIP or what. It is AML gear and like I said....had no problem in the glutes at all. Thanks for any input.
 
Everyone is different but also remember its virgin muscle. If its never been pinned before the first few will usually hurt.
 
yes i fond the quad to be quite painful as well. i think it's because it constantly get's flexed and stretched when walking and sitting. it's hardly ever not being used. this can aggravate the pip a bit.

Thanks, guys. Good point about it getting constantly flexed while walking and such. I am kinda shocked at the difference in PIP from one location to another. Thank God I didn't do my delt....today is shoulders.
 
So from what I can tell from that video is I hate that spot and it hurts like a bitch. Ill see if I can make this make sense to you through words. I injects into the Vastus Lateralis but basically on the side of it about one hand width down from the top of your femur bone. If you flex it you will notice the big slab off beef on the side of your leg near the front of the muscle it should be raised up a bit the dip down a bit then raise up again on the side of your leg, that's the spot one hand width down from where I said. I like to do it sitting with my leg straight out and heel propped up on a chair or whatever, that takes all tension off the quad. Does that make sense at all??

It does. Basically, what I am gathering is I think I was probably an inch or more lower than you are describing and went straight down into the muscle instead of coming in from the side. I approached it the same as you....seated with my leg up and such. So I am gathering it hurts more a little lower down the muscle and pinning straight down? Not gonna lie....this makes me want to never pin a quad again. Lol.
 
Yes, from the side, NOT the top. Ya Ive had bad ones that almost put me crippled for days lol, even if you've done a million injection you will always get a bad one from time to time.

Thanks for the input, bro! F*ck this sh*t! Lol. I am going to be walking like a pirate with a peg leg until Friday! I think I'll go back to the glutes for now. Lol.
 
brother I cannot pin my legs ever. tried it years ago in one leg, thought I must have screwed up so did the other one a couple of days later, same thing. like I got kneed in the leg about 20 times. we call it the sustanon strut. go glutes.
 
Is it just me or am I the only one who finds pinning quads a bitch, the PIP is the last thing on my mind. Fucker always hurts going in.

Probably have a lot of nerves in your quads, as soon as the pins hit the surface does it hurt?

It's usually once the needle gets a few mm in and it can get painful. It doesn't help when you always anticipate quads to hurt based on past experiences of 9/10 times hitting a nerve or hitting something. These are with 25G needles and I only bother going 1" for them too. Makes me look forward to glutes and delts...Seriously.

Ya Im a big fan of quads, I think weve talked about this one before. But, I cant even go near glutes anymore, just a terrible painful scene it is every single time. Honestly, my favorite of anything as of late is lats bro, never hurts, never bleeds, no pip EVER, its a win win.
 
It's not so much the pain, it's more the dumb thought if hitting a nerve and my leg having a spasm with the pin in there locking up... I wish quads were like glutes, so I don't have to bend around and cramp up lol. Are you saying Glutes have always bene painful or it's just a scar tissue thing?

Will give lats a shot...

It doesn't hurt much ever while pinning but no matter where I shoot the PIP afterward and the amount it swells and balls up is unreal, very painful to sit down and even sometime touch, I remember when I first started gear way back it was never an issue but seems as of late its just brutal, too much to take to be honest, and Im not one to wuss out on anything, but its that bad, lol.

Yeah I've had that twice on my glutes, although the second time it happened the gear was deemed dodgy (same extreme PIP in shoulder/knot)
 
Pip is the same every time in glutes. Smooth at first and golf ball a few days after. I to pinned in quads for the first time this past week and went so easy. The next day I thought about chewing my leg off it hurt so bad! The injection point never hurt but swelling went directly down the muscle that was pinned to my knee, continued to swell and hurt for three days, even had a bit of red by swelling but no infection.
