Need to man up....

Hey folks, I will make this short and sweet. In my previous threads I got advice from all the bros/sis at EF. I assembled my cycle and have everything necessary on hand (PCT, AI etc). My problem is, I am flipping my shit when it comes to injecting myself. I keep being a big ass bitch about it. Any advice for a first time pinner? I've looked at spotinjections as well as many youtube videos and shit, but from your own personal experience, what do you think would be the best place to SELF-inject? I was thinking ventroglute or maybe my quads. I was trying not to get "too crippled" because I have to stand for 8 hours at work.

I don't know if my stats would be needed but:
23 yo
203 lbs
6'2
14-15% bf.

Pinning 250mg test-e (2 times a week)
I have 23g 1' and 25g 1.5' on hand.
 
Also, since I've made this thread might as well ask:

What are anyone's recommendations for stretch marks?
I have gotten some over the years from lifting, and if I blow up on this cycle, what are some ways I can prevent them marks?(I was thinking maybe some cocoa butter cream?)
Also, I am sort of acne prone, what measures can I take to prevent or at least lessen on cycle and post cycle acne? (I was thinking maybe some topical creams and vitamin b5? I don't want to use accutane and further stress my liver!)
 
I had a hard time pinning myself the first time too. Now it's a breeze. Bite the bullet and just do it. I pinned my quads first and never switched my entire first cycle. Now with my 4 cycle I pun everywhere and actually look forward to doing it. If you still can't do it, try having a buddy do it for you the first couple times

Jojo thanks for the response! I want to just do it but I can't haha. I feel anxious (not a panic attack) but I just tremble kind of and sweat like a greasy pig. It's funny, I remember skydiving in Athens and I was scared shitless (even though a pro jumper was strapped on with me) but he jumped and I obviously followed! I think the pain would be less if someone else pinned me rather than me doing my first one, but in my best interest, I am "natural" and don't want any other labels from friends so I can't ask for help.
 
I like the delt 1st time.. relax the muscle and maybe use the 25G pin so you won't inject to quickly and it'll go in much easier.. I find it easier if I pinch or slap the area I'm about to inject.. strange bit it works for me.. good luck mate

I also find that it hurts more when.I watch it pierce the skin.. put it to you skin, turn away and press.. then watch as you aspirate

I always hit the glutes, upper outer area, push the pin slow and steady until it "pops" through the skin, it will sting until you pop through the skin initially, then keep pushing slowly until its all the way in, then maybe let it hang there, take a break and grab the syringe again and plunge the sauce in. then yank it out really fast and grab the cotton swab and massage the spot.
 
I kinda like it. When you get a flu shot or a shot in general from the doc you stress a tad when they say they gotta give you a shot but then you do it and ur like... that's it. I promise it's nothing.

Delts inmo are the easiest use 25x1
 
i think quads are the easiest.. you can sit.. relax.. be in a comfy position and look at what you are doing. very easy shot IMO
 
Thanks everybody for the response. I thought quad would be easiest because I would easily be able to aspirate it but just the thought of a needle tearing through my quad makes me cringe. Also pip from a quad injection could make it hard for me to be mobile...I like the idea of delts and also glutes...any tips on glutes? I think it would be a pain in the ass (no pun intended) so reach around and aspirate with a dart hanging out of my ass..!
 
Glutes and quads both pretty easy, depends on if you wanna see or not. quad, easy to see, glute, not. I pinned a couple of my friends the first time cause they were all geeked out about it.
I dont do this anymore by the way. All totally legal, I got a family and business.
 
Thanks for the input. Again it's not really the matter of seeing it or not; just more or less along the lines of kind of "freaking" out and not being able to relax when I am about to pin!
 
Use 2 needles. One to draw and another to pin. You would be surprised how much going through the rubber on a vial or hitting the bottom of an amp will dull the needle. Draw the oil in, then suck in a little air and unscrew the needle and screw the other one in with needle pointed up obviously. Doing this quickly reduces the chance of contamination. Using a sharp needle will go in so much easier.

Quads are the best self pin in my opinion. Use youtube and other resources like that to find the right spot. I like to hold the needle on the skin and push in gently and wait, as opposed to the "dart" method which is terrible for me. Don't flex or move the needle around and you'll be fine. Make sure you aspirate before injecting. It's really not too bad.

And one day you will graduate to primo or tren and then you get a nice root beer taste in your mouth after if you put enough in. Delicious!
 
Phiba, I am guessing getting your girl to help you is out of the question? My wife has become quite the injection artist. If not, then I agree that glutes or quads are the easiest. I started with glutes and only switched after realizing that I need to rotate injection sites. I dont think anybody feels comfortable at first, but after a while...especially after a test prop, tren ace(ED injections) cycle it become like nothing. Go for it and imagine the results from your cycle and that should motivate you to stick it in!
 
Id go glutes. Like SD said upper outer area. If it helps (did for me), push ur fingers around to a spot where the muscle feels thick and put a little ink pen spot. Then just hit right near the spot. The upper glute is a location i tbought most people would be used to from going to the doc and imo its going to affect lifting the least if its sore.
I am not a fan of quads, even totally relaxed they feel more dense when the needle is goin in. Im actually surprised to see how many quad suggestions there are. No matter where u end up going youll think its silly that u were so worked up about it.

I always pin delts easy and stress free, like butter! Haha

^^^ This right here Judo. My quads are not huge but i have alot of meat on them and pinning is such a breeze, i actually look forward to it. I do not see any reason to be a contortonist and twist and turn all over to pin elsewhere. The quads are right there! Using a 23x1 i do not even feel it at all, totally painless.
 
I may do delts or glutes so I don't get crippled (I have to stand for a long ass time at work)! Also, what time do you all prefer to pin? I was thinking maybe 7-8am?
 
We've all been there. For me, I was scared as piss and stared at my ass in the mirror with the pin loaded for over an hour before finally plunging it in. To my surprise, it felt nothing like I was expecting, and I think once you push through, you'll realize the same thing. The only real pain is the initial prick from breaking your skin. Now, I actually look forward to my injections. Maybe I'm a bit sick this way, I don't know. I inject exclusively in my thighs, almost daily, and prefer it over any other injection site, mainly because you have the most visibility and control with both hands. Good luck.
 
Additionally make sure to get all the air out bc that shit hurts additionally and most importantly make sure not to pull the needle out until everyday entire con-tense has been injected. It's to easy to do

I always leave a small air bubble,to ensure all of the gear gets out,the bubble will help to accomplish this. After all you're injecting into muscle ,the bubble will slowly get absorbed by the body!
 
Thanks guys I have pinned three times so far and it's going well (my last pin I got really light headed and freaked out, I made a thread about it). I am wondering, how often do you all rotate injection sites. I do Monday right glue and Thursday left, then I am repeating that for the coming week. Is one week enough time to heal?

Yes, just make sure it's not in the same spot.
 
have you tried a quad inject? for me they are the easiest.. easy to see, very comfortable position and you can see what you are doing and then look away if necessary...

just something to consider.

trust me every shot will get easier and easier.

I will maybe mid cycle or during the end, but I am trying to avoid quads :worried:
 
I rotate between pecs, quads, glutes, and delts.

I've done calves, but only once lol fk that.

Delts are super easy and painless. Pecs hurt like a bitch during and after. Quads aren't bad, just a little PIP afterwards. Glutes are hard for me to do myself, but if I can get a buddy to help on a pin day I prefer glutes over other areas because PIP isn't really a factor.

Also,your doctor doesn't aspirate, my doctor doesn't aspirate, so neither do I.
 
its a waste of time,ever see any Dr's Aspirate? of course not, I work at a hostipal there they will stick you and if it goes into a vein(oops) when they pull out they cover their mistake with a cotton swab followed by a band aid,Thanks Nurse ! in 25 yrs i have never had a problem, but i researched close to a yr on here , so i was well versed on things when i started .
