question about injection pain

[alfa23]

done my first shot of my cutting cycle today. the question is, why after around 5-6 weeks do my glutes tense up when injecting, ??? which makes it more painful to inject, feels as though it could snap the needle any clues?

Could be nerves - as in you're just nervous and anticipating the poke. Or it could be nerves - as in the physical nerves inside your body. Are you poking in the exact same spot each time? I try to move around a bit on each muscle group, you just have to watch out for the larger nerve bundles. I would also add more sites like ventro glutes, quads, delts and tris.

Another thing. If you're doing them standing up try lying on your side to do them.

i get my chick to do them for me, but i am standing up normally when i do them myself im fine, could be that im expecting it and anticipation kicks in,

Do you mean it tenses up at the moment of injection, or it feels tense all the time. I developed scar tissue in my thigh and the area of the injection felt "tense" or "tight" and it was really difficult and painful to inject. Almost made a crackling noise. If this is your problem, rotate your injections more, include quads and delts.

it does it as soon as the needle pierces the skin my glute just flexes,
i will try and rotate to my quads too,

That happens to me occassionally with glute injects. It is like an automatic response, my ass actually twitches as soon as the pin breaks the skin. I am sure I keep hitting a small nerve in my ass when that happens. No post-inject pain though for me.

try standing on your tip toe on the leg which is the side you are injecting into , its harder to flex the glute with a bent knee .
