Pinning Concerns - About to begin my first cycle!

[Antonio123]

Hi guys

Ive done my research, bought everything i need for my cycle and today i recieved everything through the post.

Now i am quite hesitant about actually injecting myself. I have 1 1/4 23G needles to use and i am using Test E doing 250mg every monday and thursday.

I knew i would be a bit nervous and even though i have looked at countless videos and threads online i still have a worry im going to do something wrong!

Im going to inject into my ass and alternate from each cheeck each time i inject.

Here are my questions:

1) If when i aspirate and theres blood, i need to pull out, re-inject aspirate again and then am i ok to shoot the small mount of blood and test e together?

2) One video i have seen the guy leaves a small air pocket and injects that into himself. I thought injecting air into you could kill you? Am i ok to do this?

3) What will the pain be like after my first injection?

Thanks in advance

first off i would suggest at least 4 inject spots to prevent scar tissue.

second, pick up some 23g 1" for your quads or delts.

yes if you aspirate and get blood than u need to try again. Its ok if it mixed.

When u aspirate, if you dont get blood, youllget a little air bubble in your syringe, so then ur injecting that back in yourself. Its fine.

Its an annoying pain, slight discomfort but nothing horrible. Goes away overnight. I take some motrin and it helps

Hey man, congrats on your first cycle.

Youll be fine. I've never once had a doctor aspirate an IM injection. Chances are very very low you're in a vein. I check for good measure. You'll be fine if you do draw a little and re pin.

On the pocket of air, theres guys who go both ways. I personally leave about 2/10 a cc air in the top so all the medication is forced out. You'd be surprised how much med hangs back in needle if you don't. Inj air into muscle is just fine as long as it isn't a whole lot. It's intravenous that is dangerous with injecting air.

Pain is dependent on many factors. Pinning strategy and your particular gear are biggest factors. I started out with b12 shots every other day to learn pinning technique. That shit feels like a dead leg from a Ukranian. Pinning my test I thought there was something wrong when I had no post inj pain.

Hope this helps bro

Cheers for the quick replies - both helped a lot and i feel alot better about it now

Thanks!

If you take some time and warm your loaded syringe under a light bulb and rotate for a minute, It will shoot smooth and sometimes you feel no sting at all.

DONOT put air bubble in side! get all the air out, its not worth saving your 4 dcents worth of test. litrally a drop.

psin will be worse at first then tend to go away after a few pins. but the pain is not very much anyway, atleast for me.

Like I said, people go both ways on air bubble. Some guys do two to three tenths of one cc of air, other guys would shit if they thought they had accidentally injected air.

As stated, injecting air into a vein can create big problems, problems that can kill you. It takes a few cc air directly in vein to pose this threat. 2/10s a cc into deep muscle tissue really isn't all that alarming. I feel the med leave needle and I stop when plunger is clearly shooting air. So I am really getting less than 10th cc into muscle.

If you're concerned, don't use air. It's minimal what's lost, but cumulative. Just know the real danger in shooting air is getting it in a vein. If you do decide to use air, aspirate to make sure your not in a vein. That part is a must, especially quad shots. Lots of veins in that area.

Hope it helps.

a dead leg from a ukranian? as apposed to a dead leg from any other nationality??? lol what!?>

I feel you man, I hate needles and don't like pinning either but you have to decide what you want to do.

What I do is tell myself, ok, just touch the skin with the needle. Once I touch the skin, the anxiety is over and I just push 'er on in. My hands are still a little shaky and I'm nervous, but I can do it. Glutes would be the best place to start.

first of all this was an informative post thanks hydro!

now i have i a dumb question to add on to this^..

if you did draw blood and needed to re pin, you would re pin with a new needle correct? i would just to be safe but i'm just curious as to what other's do, im new and researching as well.

I always try to go in nice and smooth. Some guys can chunk it in like a dart. I'm no that ok with it it yet. The prick is not bad. Really. The muscle you shoot into might be a little sore the next day from a bunch of oil being where its not suppose to be, but the prick is not bad at all.

Remember to try and not shake to much. This will reduce your soreness the next day.

First, I like to take a nice hot shower and make sure my body is ready.

Next, I dry myself off with a clean towel.

Thirdly, I put on some nice classical music (I prefer either Mozart or Beethoven but it's your choice)

Then (still butt naked), I take a fresh 18G pin and syringe and draw up the gear. (then switch to a 25G)

Moving on, I plug in my hair dryer and proceed to "heat" the syringe on a low setting.

After a few minutes, when the syringe is nice and warm, I swab the projected injection site with an alcohol pad.

Alas, I take a deep breath and SLOWLY inject the pin deep into the muscle tissue. Once I have fully penetrated the muscle, I aspirate then inject the fluid.

Once finished, I apply a clean cotton ball to the injection sight with slight pressure to stop any bleeding.

Then, I proceed to massage the area for a good 5-10 minutes.

Lastly, I clean up the entire work station, making sure to dispose all of my waste into a sharps container.

whait what? 1" in the delt dont people usually go with an 5/8" for the delt

 

[hydrosplash]

I ran out of pins and used a blood collection catheter that was 22 x 3/4 in delt and it worked fine.

"a dead leg from a ukranian? as apposed to a dead leg from any other nationality??? lol what!?"

I had just watched a movie with a crazy, large Ukranian. Just seemed fitting. Thanks for your criticisms. I appreciate it.

Run the vial with your gear in it under hot water for 3-4 minutes and use a slin pin.
Way less scar tissue this way.

Do a half cc in each upper outer thigh every Monday and Thursday. It takes a bit longer to inject but I'll take an extra 30 seconds pushing down on the plunger over using a larger pin any day.

You can even add delts to the rotation if you want to.

I don't think I'll ever use anything other than a 1/2" 29g slin pin from now on.

Just my 2 cents

 

[crazyfmike]

Soon enough you'll be wanting to pin. I am running long esters wishing I could pin everyday when I get up.....lol

Good advice above and soon enough you'll be coaching guys on pinning too
