Quad injections

[venatorx]

Question for you machines - I've only ever pinned once before into my right quad. Had a bit of pain next 2 days but went away.

This time when I injected on Sunday night, it hurt a lot more. And now last 2 days I've been limping. I can barely lift my leg up or twist it at all.

Today's leg day and I can't put myself through it from the pain... Anyway the pain has spread about 10cm up and down quad but no visible swelling, blueness, or heat/fever.

Could this really be normal? Lol

My guess is pip from too much oil volume. If you haven't pinned quads before, it's literally virgin muscle. What exactly did you inject?

 

[venatorx]

Test E

I have had that before, swollen right above the knee - as the oil travelled down there? It went away in a day or 2. I had thought that my knee had swollen up due to my training or previous injuries.

I'd guess its volume. I never put more than 1ml in any spot. Its more pinning, but less likely to get issues.

I love pinning quads, its the least awkward position for me, Glutes, delts, and lats I have to twist my entire body. Your pinning a virgin muscle so of course you’ll get pip but there are ways the help prevent it. After you pin massage the area hard. Put icy hot on it and go train legs right after you hit your quads. When you get home take a hot shower and massage the area hard again. And when your home put a heating pad on the area. You’ll notice a big difference. Also only start with a .5 cc until you get use to it, then increase to a full cc. Wouldnt go higher than 2cc max.

I agree quads are a favourite location for me as well.

I do not pin quads anymore. Nope never again. ****ing hate it.

I avoid pinning in quads at all cost. I'll take scar tissue before that familiar pain lasting 3-5 days.

Every quad pin I've ever tried has been 3 days of my leg telling me to **** off.

I started With delts. Then moved onto ventro glute, glutes and traps. Rotate through those and usually pin a ml or less at a time. Quads are no good for me. Had a bad reaction and heard lots of horror stories! Hahaha.

Yeah, **** that

Wish I'd read this before pinning my virgin quad 36hrs ago. Went to gym yesterday and everything fine. Today I can barely walk! Feels like a massive corked thigh. Will be a while before I try again

I can imagine the pain. How much did you inject?

Impatient me didn't read widely first and went with word of mouth: 1mL Test E (room temp) with 25G 1" needle (factoring in 33% body fat, hence more subcut tissue). Applied immediate pressure to site with ice pack (was told rubbing immediately would spread it into subcut tissue). Thinking maybe next time I should try 0.5mL with 27G 5/8" needle, and massaging the site soon after. Thoughts?

Stick with the 25G needle. Splitting the dose will help as its your first time pinning your quads. I would also skip the ice afterwards, just apply light pressure and gently massage the area to help disperse the oil. Best advice is to always rotate your injection sites between quads, glutes, and delts to prevent tissue buildup and constant soreness.
