"Draw another line on the outside of your bicep. Then find the peak of you bi's and go about one-third of the way toward the line you drew on the side of your bi....that's where I inject. Some people like to inject on the inside but that's where I like to do it."
that's exactly the way I do it too. the peak is marked when the bi is flexed, but you inject at that point with the arm relaxed and straight. The point of injection is a bit higher than you would originally assume.
from the side a buried 1" pin (25g) gets me right under the peak. My biceps aren't that big, but the 5/8" just seems way too short.
going in from the side also keeps you from hitting that big-ass vein that runs over the peak.
for tris raise your arm over your head and inject into the top of the notch where your lat inserts into the upper arm (this should be into the long head of the tri). you can also shoot into the short head from the outside (top of horseshoe).
Tri injections tend to cut down on my pressing poundages, so I don't do them anymore.
I think the main benifit of site injects is the fascial stretching. When I did alot of site injects in my biceps and calves (with prop, LOL) they got bloated and looked like crap. Now that I've stopped I swear that those muscles have a better, more rounded "shape" to them than before I did the site injects. This is especially true regarding the peak on my left bicep (formerly there was none).
