WTF!!!Did a Delt Inject, Now I'm Useless...

[tzan]

I've always stabbed myself in either the quads or glutes. On Monday I decided to go with delts for the first time. During the injection everything went fine and I was actually very pleased how easy the delts were. Yesterday I woke up with a little stiffness, nothing major, just your basic post day soreness. I went to the gym and crushed my back with no problem. Then the problem began. I woke up last night at about 3am and my shoulder was killing me. I couldn't really rotate it or lift it without sharp pain. I finally went back to bed and while it does feel a little better now, I still don't think I can go to the gym today and work my chest as hard as I would like. I don't know what the problem was. I shot 2cc's of scherring test e, which isn't normally that bad at all. The only thing I can think of is I used a 23 1.5 needle for it and I now most people go smaller with delts. This sucks because I really liked shooting the delts, but not if it's going to effect my workouts. Hopefully it was just a freak injection. If anyone can shed any light on this it would be appreciated.

Sorry for all the babbling(like I said didn't get much sleep last night)!!

I think putting that dam lawn dart in your delt is what killed you Bro.. 25G-27G 1 INCH that's all you need bro... I use these 2 for all injections.. I don't see any need to use that big ass dart into your body anywere.. 22G 1 1/2 to draw switch and shoot.. I also always run under hot water for a minute to ....

Yea, that's the only thing I can think of as well. Going to have to get some 25 1 inchers so I can continue hitting the smaller muscles. Wanted to try bi's and pecs, but not with the facking 1.5.

No way in hell I would put a 1 1/2 pin in my chest or a bi or any muscle for that matter.. I have been using for many years Bro and have always used 27g-25g 1 inch and have never had any problem at all...I don't like to use a 1 inch pin tho if I hit pecs bi or tri 5/8 25g works great..

I use a 23 1'' half way in all the time with no problems! Your first shot will always sux then they will get easyer from then..Take note that 2cc of test-e will be alot and thats something you will need to decide if you want to keep shooting that much at once.My first leg shot suxed but they got easyer,but ill still never try to shot 2cc of test-e in my leg at once i like to walk and bend my leg. Maybe you just shoot alittle to deep? Keep trying

Don't worry, I won't be quitting anytime soon. LOL Going 1.5 inches deep in my delts was deffiantly the problem. Even as I was putting the damn thing in I was thinking to myself damn this thing is VERY deep in me.

When I do delt injections I shoot no more than one mL at a time. I also only use 25G needles on the delts. I find this to be the best way for me.

Good luck gettin oils to go through a 25' pin. Maybe if ya sit there for hours if you're lucky. And yeah, when shootin the delts, not more than 1ml at a time is a good rule of thumb.

Try going with 1cc only. Apply heat to the area and massage it out.

Your problem is simple to much to deep, I agree with Slyder, oil and 25' don't mix. It is like drinkin a fuckin milk shake through a coffee stirer. There used to be an old saying (never take a dart to the heart) get my drift. Good news, no big deal, but I would go easy today on those delts.

 

[tzan]

Thanks for all the replies fellas.

From here on out I'm going to stick with the 23 gauge, but swith to 1 inchers. I really think the main problem was I went too deep. I usually have a pretty good tolerance for injection pain, so I'm going to try and stick with 2cc's. If it still kills me next time around, I'll have to knock it down to 1cc at a time.

I don't know why you guys have a problem moving oil thru 25g pin I do it all the time with out a problem.. I also use 27g to no problem.. It might take me 30sec. to push it thru..Heat the oil and shoot nothing to it....

agreed, 1" is the perfect length for bis tris and delts, 1.5 is pushing it unless you're a monster
