attempted first pin this morning...

[shotgunsays]

So I got all my gear ready and was stoked to get my first pin going. I woke up extra early this morning because I have class. I showered to heat the muscle, warmed my syringe in hot water. I decided to do the VG. It took me about 3 minutes to work up the courage to stick myself. Finally did it and I literally did not feel a thing. I aspirated and the tiniest bubble entered the syringe. Then, I panicked and convinced myself I wasn't in the muscle and withdrew the syringe. Only a tiny dot of blood came out. I had to go to class so I am about to make my second attempt now. Any way of knowing for sure you're in muscle?

Using a long enough needle and sinking it in all the way is really the only way to be sure. 1-1/2 inch for quads and glutes and 1 inch for shoulders.

I just sacked up and did it. I just ended up doing it in the upper outer quadrant of my glute. I used a 25g pin and injected 250 mg so 1 ml. I read it takes like 60 seconds to push that through a 25 but I got it through in like 30 seconds, is that fine?

Don't rush it bro, the slow you inject the better, less soreness!

 

[shotgunsays]

Yeah, I thought I was injecting it pretty slow, then all of a sudden I was like oh its done. I made sure I heated up the oil first and then I went on a quick bike ride after to move it around.

30 seconds is fine for 1cc. What inch needle did you use? I hope 1.5" because 1" isn't good enough for glutes.

Why isn't 1 inch good enough for glutres? When I use 1.5 I'm scared to go all the way in, don't wanna hit bone.

 

[shotgunsays]

I used 1 inch. I read a lot of places saying 1 inch was fine as long as you went all the way in. If It's sore in the muscle tomorrow that means im good and hit muscle right?

I used 1 inch in the glute my whole cycle never had any problems

Ive been alternating delt injects the past 10 pins. I have really taken a liking to pinning. 1 inch all the way. I was doing 1 1/2 for a while but I kept going to deep, fuck that hurt at first, 1 inch is great for delt. I haven't done glutes yet, would like to try but I'm afraid of the soreness, I snowboard daily and don't want it to affect me. How is your soreness?!
