First pin went good I think

[1Johnboy]

Hi folks,

Did my first pin last night and a few things happened. When I injected into my quad, the muscle
spasmed. Did not hurt at all but it almost pushed the pin back out. Took me by suprise and I lol'd. Did I come close to a nerve?

Second thing I noticed was when I aspirated, the plunger was hard to pull back like there was a vaccum or something. Other than that everything went smooth and It is 24 hours now and no soreness.

Thanks!

Sounds like you hit a nerve. No big deal. Just choose another spot on the quad. And if it felt like there was a vacuum, then you weren't in a vein. Welcome to the dark side bro. I just welcomed myself there about a week ago lol

Always great to hear success stories. Good stuff gents.

Ya u might have hit or grazed a nerve of some sorts. Its no big deal because when u aspirated no blood came out so u never injected in a vein. Good job

Thanks all for the responses.

Yea I joined the dark side now and no turning back, I am actually looking forward to my next pin!!
All I can say is I have lurked here for months and read up and asked lots of questions and you have all helped me allot, great bros here and I am very happy to have found this board and made a few friends along the way. Thanks for having me onboard.

I do better with glutes. In my 20+ years I just dont like quad injects much.

I just can't do quads either. Never had a painless quad injection. I rotate between glutes and delts.

Guess everyone is different , I can inject 3cc into my quads but just sticking the pin in my glute causes discomfort 1/2 the time. I still do them as I am stubborn and won't give up until I figure out what is up! Delts are generally ok too

Am comfortable atm with my quads. I might try glutes later on but for now I want to get more experience pinning. By doing my quads I can see exactly what is going on. With glutes it seems kinda uncomfortable having to twist yourself around some.
