interested to hear about other members opinions on this. What cc do you like to not exceed for pins on your chosen injection sites.

For me I’m currently using quads, delts and glutes all at 2cc.

I’m questioning myself on whether the delt can take 2.5-3cc without having discomfort issues.

Glutes I’m comfortable pinning 3cc.

I’m not too adventurous as of yet with pinning biceps, lats etc but I feel that day is approaching
 
I've injected quads twice and not really a fan. I think it's one of those things where you just need to keep pinning there to get use to it. I just never did it in the past (wish I had as it gives more areas to rotate and its so easy to inject, just need to hit that sweet spot as there are so many nerves in that area). Then I think I only injected 2mls.

Generally, I don't like going over 1ml on my shoulders.

My Glutes, I've gone up to 4mls in the past, but these days the most I go is 3mls.

Biceps and lats... never considered it before.

I’ve only recently begun injecting my quads and I can confirm it’s one of those things mate. I was crippled first 2 injections on both sides. From then on it was pretty sweet. Very easy spot to hit. Also 2ml

Yeh the delt at 2ml feels like it’s the limit for me.

I want to throw a little bit extra in this cycle soon so either my injection will need to be done 4x weekly with long esters or I push the envelope on my volumes 😂
 
It's honestly becoming really difficult, even though I rotate both shoulders, both glutes I still have dramas pushing the oil. It takes forever to inject. I'm honestly considering going back to the quads. But like you said, you feel crippled lol... I actually couldn't walk for a few days.
 
I used to do 4mls on each glute in my early days I could have pushed it to 5mls, but these days, I only do 2.5 to 3mls, I use the 23G needle.

My shoulders, if I use a 25G I go 1ml, if I use the 23G I would push 2ml.

The max I ever went on my quads is 3mls using 23G.

Lats and biceps... I never tried lol.... I don't know if I'm game to do that.

I’ve just begun pushing 2ml through 25g into my delt (very patiently) but the oil sits for too long in my opinion. Zero issues with 1ml.

I know a few blokes personally who claim ones you shoot the lats you will never then back. Im still sceptical though.

My pin days are mon/wed/fri 2ml each time.

One week i do quads on mon/fri and delt wed

The following week is glutes mon/fri with opposite delt on wed.

I think i may need to change wednesdays to 1ml in each delt. But im also considering lifting my dose so undecided as of yet

Like @notnatty I also sometimes inject 2ml in the shoulders (when I get lazy lol) I think the needle you use makes a big difference when injecting into the delts. With the 23G it goes in deeper to the muscle so I find its best suited for anything over a 1ml. The 25G is great for the 1ml, but even then I sometimes find that it leaks when I take the needle out.

Have you guys ever had any issues with lipo lumps (lipohypertrophy)?
 
I use to get the lipo lumps in my right glute a few years back because it was my favourite/easiest spot to inject. I gave it a good rest and it slowly went away.

I do have some reasonable scar tissue in my glutes though. Pinning with 25g in glute is a game of deep patience.

I’m currently running 6ml weekly and will be pushing upto 7.5ml soon and finding a good rotation becomes a headache when you try to stay away from scar tissue build upon
 
So I’ve just started pinning and have read all above , I’m getting lumps in my quads ( only pinned each 1 once ) and first was good in the glute . What is optimal temp for oil to pin ? As I currently store in fridge

Storing your gear in the fridge isn’t the best move brother. It thickens the oil and can cause those lumps you’re feeling when you pin. The optimal temp for your oil is room temperature...around 20-25°C. When it’s too cold, the oil doesn’t disperse as easily in the muscle which leads to irritation and lumps.

What you want to do is take your vial out of the fridge and let it warm up naturally to room temp. If you're in a hurry, you can warm the vial by running it under warm water (not too hot) for a minute or two. This helps the oil flow smoother and reduces the chance of PIP and lumps.

Also make sure you’re not injecting too fast. Give it a good 30-60 seconds per ml. After the pin, massage the injected area to help the oil spread out and absorb better.

Warm the vial in your cup of coffee or tea in the morning, changes the viscosity of the carrier oil, makes it easier to push through. Just don't drop the whole vial in there * done that before * . But don't store it in the fridge

Running it under warm water is suffice brother. Coffee seems an exotic way to do it 😂

do not store your gear in fridge. In the colder months sometimes it’s wise to run under warm water. Gearmaniac products are quite thick I think due to being GSO carrier so I would load up my barrel and before pinning I would run under hot water for 30-60 seconds. If I didn’t do this I would get decent pip in delt or quad shots.

Best of luck bro

I'm an exotic type of guy lol. I was kind of speaking in hyperbole though, but I used to give it some love in the coffee cup until I dropped 200 bucks worth of primo in there lol

I think most of us have fallen victim to dropping vials at one stage or another. I’ve dropped and smashed multiple once which brought tears to my eyes.

I always put my oils in the barrel first before warming. Much safer
