pinning anxiety!

Matthew121

I am banned!
So I dont even have any of my gear yet, lol. (its all ordered and on the way)
and I am already getting nervous for my first pin.
I have NO issues with needles, or them getting stuck into me, I have tattos, and have gotten shots before.
What I am worried about is doing it incorrectly.
I learned everything I could from the injection Faq sticky.
But I am just feeling really worried about the first one, like I am scared I am going to go too deep, or not in the right spot.
I am doing test e twice a week and pinning with a 25g on a 3cc syringe.

So you are supposed to pinch the skin, and not the entire muscle? Inject the needle just into the top layer of skin then release the pinch and push the needle into the muscle? I got 1" needles and I have very skinny/lean legs. Like I cant hardly pinch much skin at all on my upper outter quad.
I am just really nervous I am going to do it wrong and hurt myself and waster my gear!
help me guys! give me some motivation and big brotherly "no worried bro" advice!!!!
hahah thanks!
 
Go to spotinjections.com if your pinning twice a week I would just alternate between left and right glute, ,the glute is the easiest place to inject imo I use 18 gauge to draw and 23 gauge to pin
 
just chill brother,nothing to it lol,dont think about it,i use a 21guage to pull with and a 25 gauge to pin with in my glutes,and i hardly feel anything i just rub the area with alcohol and pin...easy man,i was a little scared at first,but after the first time,i dont even think about it anymore:cool:
 
its ok to be nervous.. you should be.. this way you do it right and learn.. you dont need advice from us just go to youtube and watch a few docs.. 1in pin 25g in glutes.. right side if your right handed left if your left.. inject slowly and be sterile.. oh and aspirate.. no reason not too.. go to spot inj like sum1 mentioned above.. find the high quarter for glute shots.. youll be fine..
 
Just did my first pin yesterday. 25G in right quad...I was all worried and shit to after hearing people saying they paced around the bathroom for 3 hours before they could do it.

It was no big deal. In and out in 10 minutes. All went well. Still a little sore but trust me itll be fine.

I didnt pinch the skin on my leg or anything. Just found the spot to pin, sterilized and injected.
 
first pin

I was very nervous my first pin too. I still get nervous but it's not that big of a deal. Alcohol swab the area, 18 pin to drawl, 23-25 guage needle to pin, angle at 90 degrees, push it in slowly, all the way in, pull out a little (aspirate) to make sure no blood goes in, then slowly push the plunger in. I alternate legs/thighs when pinning. After you do this the HCG shots will be a breeze.

Hope this helps.
 
I don't pinch the skin, I pull it to make it tighter. Pin goes in so much easier

good to know, I have pretty much zero fat on my leg so its tough to pinch, I keep thinking just a quick jab in the leg would be easiest but that scares me of hitting a nerve or something. Ahhhhhh Im still getting all sweaty just thinking about it. hhahahha Im sure Ill be ok once I do my first one.
 
dont stab it

Don't stab it in. That's very bad if you hit a nerve or vein. If you push it in slowly then if it rubs against a nerve (did once for me and my leg twitched) then you can reangle it away from the nerve or pull it out, switch needles and pin in another spot.
 
I have a buddy who pins, I may try to get him to help me with my first one.
Or my sister is an Lpn, I know she knows how to do it, but I dont want to tell her that Im doing aas, hahah. But I really want her to do my first pin for me! lol
 
its not that hard. all i do is relax the muscle thats getting pinned and then inject at the spot i want.... aspirate then slowly inject. you dont need to pinch the skin or anything. if its a fresh pin there should be no problem penetrating the skin.
 
I've got 1.5" 22G for drawing (was supposed to be 21G but they messed up the order) and 1.5" 25G for pinning. I'll be pinning glutes for the first 12 weeks but I'm going to have to move to quads as well for pinning HCG for 10 days straight after my cycle.

I think 1.5" might be a little much for quads so I just won't push it all the way in.

I thought HCG can be done with a slin pin and sub Q?


OP, sterilize with alcohol swab, spread skin taut (stretch the skin with thumb and index finger), push in slowly using 1" 25g pin, aspirate to make sure youtr not in a blood vessel and inject slowly....The first time is the hardest but afterwards your go0nna feel great and happy you did it!!! I had a serious adrenaline rush the first time, so much so that i didnt feel a thing!!!! I still get it a little but nothing like the first time...Just make sure you get a good reference online for proper spots...I would recommend the glute or quad for first time...then delts and a nice spot too after you get used to the quadricep or gluteus... Youll be fine...Your doing the right thing by researching...Its the retards that dont read up0 before hand that make mistakes and cause problems for themselves! your gonna be fine!
 
It can. According to Cobra, it shouldn't be an issue pinning test and HCG in the same needle. I have ordered slin pins for the 10 days of HCG pinning following my cycle to make it a bit easier.

its much easier to measure out and pin with a slinpin. i only used 2ml this time to reconstitute the hcg and its at the 10 mark for 250iu. its gonna be a lot harder to get a accurate measurement if you use a much bigger syringe. i use 3ml syringes to do IM injections.

I can see that being the case. I'll be mixing 5mL of bac water with 5000iu of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) so 0.25mL will be 250iu twice a week with Test.

Looking at my 3ml syringes, 0.25mL doesn't look too terribly difficult to measure out but I can see it being easier with slin pins. I've got plenty of time to decide. I don't expect to receive my gear for at least 2-3 weeks (probably more with the recent Naps talk) and I can easily get insulin syringes much quicker.

Thanks for the heads up.
 
Bro,

The easiest thing is to run it through water not the needle though, just the gear. so the oil could get thin. The anxiety is gonna be there for new spots, Use a 21 to draw and 25gauge to pin, you won't feel anything!
I just finished my 10 week cycle and started with glutes 4 times then did quads and even deltoids, It's not hard just massage the area very good as soon as your done. Like they said earlier, spotinjections.com has detailed pics!! GOOD LUCK
 
Thanks buddy!



I am so fucking pumped!!!!!!!!
My pins and syringes just got here!!!!
Ive got all my hardware, my aromasin!
Now I am just waiting for my uncle to get me the rest of my gear AND SHITS GONNA GET FUCKING HECTIC!!!

hahah no but really, I opened the package and looked at the stuff, then took out one of the syringes, and with no needle kinda pretended to shoot my quad... (I know is sounds stupid, but this kind of helped the feeling I was having, like a "hey no big deal" type of thing.

Im so ready!
