Swelling of the injection site and associated area

CALVES?!

You sir are a true stallion. I don't know ANYONE that has taken a calf pin and did it again. LOL.

Lol. We're all different I suppose... how you feel about calves is how I feel about quads! I try to use as many sites as possible.. and I like to try new things.. calves aren't too bad for me so I keep them in my constant rotation.
 
Kinda crazy how we are all different in regards to pin sites.. I'd like to find a few more that work for me,, prob experiment with b-vitamin to explore new sites (way easier then oil).. My preferred spot was glutes when getting on trt years back,, but obviously went to quads and delts once getting into running blasts and multiple compounds.. My glutes have now become my least favorite spot though..

Prob cause I read some where in some steroid bible that diff types of gear are site specific.. And the injection site will respond first.. Prob not true.. But primo was on that list, so sure as shit I'm injecting that in my quads and delts, not my ass (just in case there is any truth to it.. Never done any research on the idea,, but funny how things you read somewhere sometime effect you,,,, heck injecting in my glutes, even if it's deca just reminds me of my first few rounds of trt treatment, I prefer deca in the delts).. My thighs are a weak point (due to multiple lower back surgeries and missing plenty of bone and disc),, but subconsciously maybe I inject my quads more comfortably just thinking they are a weak point ( and I read somewhere some bullshit in the past that injection site is relevant depending on the compound )..

As for pip being due to the gear.. I'm about to experiment on myself on this topic pretty soon.. My fav compounds have been all prescription pharmacy gear and never had swelling or pip . If UGL primo gives me pip or swelling,, and script never has,, then personally u brewers out there need to push your standards up and push UGL to produce pharm grade gear,, if the local pharmacy gives me deca or whatever and there is no pip, yet a UGL gives me deca and I have pip,, something is up and wrong.

Running a combination of both pharma gear and UGL gear next cycle will tell the tell if pip, injection site swelling etc. is based on the gear.. If doing an injection of script grade deca gives nothing (which it never has),, but the same injection of UGL deca a bit later gives to swelling and pip,, case closed.

Either way I've obviously had too much kratom tea to drink and thc mints,, and this post feels like it took me an hour to type, but it's only been like 5 mins,, soo whatever ;)

Thats a big 10-4. Fuck man, I did it once yeeeeears ago and could hardly walk for a week, lol. But, the thought had crossed my mind again lately. We will see though.

I reckon your crazier pinning biceps lol!! Just the thought of that sickens me haha. I'm sure I'll end up trying it by the end of this cycle tho...
 
Brother, I did biceps one time only years ago as well.........far worse than the calve!!!!! I will never shoot biceps again.

Oh okay, good to know lol. I saw you mention it somewhere... great, now you've said it like a challenge I'll definitely end up trying it :wallbash: haha
 
Wow, great thoughts, thanks.
Calves....ummm gotta think that would be painful for me ( 8 hour shift standing at work )
Biceps....kinda like that idea, although have to use an 29g needle ( i assume that would work )
I have been using delts, quads and glutes. But reduced the quantity ( .5ml from 1ml ), swelling not an issue so far this week,
and I thank all of you for your input, it really helped.

Man... Now THAT is a tough call on which is worse in my book! Calf pin was gnarly and turned into chronic cramping two days later, biceps pin felt like I took a gunshot to the arm.

Yup, I'm one big sissy. Hahahaha. :wiggle::laugh:

Bro, my whole bicep and tricep, basically my whole arm bruised bad, so bad I had to wear a long sleeve to the gym, swole right up and the pain, I can handle pain but goddamn that was bad!! That was a long time ago when I basically tried every spot to see what worked and what didnt. Biceps.....definitely didnt work lol.

Speaking of scary sites, I really want to try traps one of these days lol. The problem is that I know nerves are there, and as I'm tall - my traps are very long due to broader shoulders. I normally flex my pecs first to find a thick spot above the nipples, but flexing traps just makes them "stand up".

Any of you guys try traps? Lats are out as I am definitely not flexible enough, but traps seem doable. :wiggle:
 
Trap scare me, I tend to get knots in my trap area and behind my scapula and I could only imagine the pain and discomfort if the injection ends up being a bad one. :crying:

I'll actually be trying out traps for the first time on Monday. Will let you know how they go :) Taking into account they are virgin muscles. This cycle I'm pinning ed so I've included a whole bunch of new sites lol. The more the better I reckon. I actually only tried ventroglutes for the first time last week, not sure if virgin or I injected too fast lol but god damn I was hobbling for a few days after them! Also first time using prop, has a bit more bite to it than enth IMO..
 
You should all step back and read this thread as a layman to all this. Ha ! this almost sounds like the drug addict searching for a site that the vein hasn't collapsed.

I've been there (no more :) ) but that's how some of the conversations went back then. This site hurts, that site hurts, and this vein roles but this one doesn't.
PS: I'm not advocating such IV but just saying what this thread sounds like........ :Pat:
