Injection Sites and Pain

I thought it could be interesting to try a few injection sites out, and report back both their PIP as well as the "max" volume which I felt they can comfortably hold. I used the same exact vial of gear for all the sites, however I changed the needle length depending on the site. These oil "maxes" were for me, and to the point of it becoming uncomfortable to push more in. Obviously this varies depending on your muscle size and experience shooting the area.

On a scale from 1-10, 10 being fucking unbearable:

Glutes- 1, max 4ccs
Quads- 4, max 2.5-3ccs, the pain seems to vary with quads for seemingly unknown reasons.
Front delts- 5, max was 2.5ccs
Medial delts- 2, max was 3ccs
Rear delts- 2, max was 3ccs
Pecs- 7.5-8, I cannot believe how bad pecs hurt! I tried both sides on different occasions, both bruised. MAX was 1.5ccs.... I am not sure why... I most likely will never shoot them again.
Triceps- 1-2 pain was very minimal. I could fit 3ccs in the big head, 2 in the outer head without issue. These will now be on my rotation.
Lats- 4-5, max was 2ccs.
Biceps- 7, 3ccs. The outer bicep hurt a lot less than the inner part, I shot both heads 2 times each for this experiment. The outer may be on my rotation, the inner will not.

I did not try calves, I thought about it... I just couldn't.

Curious on your experiences!
 
Don't do calves. Just don't do it.
Biceps sucked pretty bad, too. But, calves just seemed like a really bad idea... Glad I didn't. I know someone who shoots a few CCs of sustanon in their calves, ouch.

Why did you inject in pecs, triceps, biceps and lats?
Just curious
How many cc per week and how many grams you use so that you have to inject in such odd places?

This had nothing to due with cycle requirements, it was solely an exploratory expedition to find out how certain sites react. I'm not even sure how to answer your first question, besides that they are muscles and I was interested to find out how they are suited for IM injections...
 
By looking at your Avi.
Even traps can be easy for you !! Chunk of meat .
Just many Nerves on that area.

When doing quads where do you pin ?
Side or front ? If doing front
Wich tear drop? Left or right ?

I've messed with the quads for years, I've really had mostly bad experiences. I've shot all up and down, inner, outer, you name it.... I genuinely believe quads are too dense of a muscle to be suited for injections, but that's just MY experience. I know some guys love them... I shoot my peptides in them, that's all at this point. I thought about traps, I've heard the PIP is pretty bad around your neck, I worry it'll effect my sleeping and training...
 
I still do only quads (Ive tried glutes and delts).

I do the side. Im fairly vascular, so its easy to miss veins. As an added bonus unlike delts and glutes you can pretty much use both hands.

Ive never had any lasting pain. I dont know if others are more sensitive, or exactly where youre injecting.

Note: I use 23g 1 - 1.5 inch
 
WP, I may have missed it because im tired as hell, what size needles you use? Was it the same for each spot?
 
Thank you for this experiment. I find this quite interesting. I only hit quads and glutes at the moment and my wife has to do my left glute. Glutes are becoming more and more tedious to get to it seems tho. May have to try a few of these out.
 
Trukker, front delts can suck a camels cock.... Hate them.

Jay, I used 25g for everything as I felt that was the only "fair" way to compare. Everything but lats was 1" pin. Lats I use 5/8" because I'm a pussy.... Oh and pecs too, I'm trying to mentally block out pecs. That shit hurt so bad.
 
I've done pecs and it wasn't too bad but I sweated like a pig thinking about a needle in me chest the whole time. @bhog is a sick fuck who enjoys doing pecs and with prop too. I only do quads VG and my right delt literally everything else I can't reach or am not man enough to try. But I always use a 22g 1" needle just find it slides in smoothest for me
 
22g that's like shooting a straw! That's what my doc had me using originally, switched over to 25 and couldn't be happier. I will say though it's so much faster to inject with 22
 
@Wunderpus thanks for doing this write up. I pretty much only do quads, mainly because I have zero flexibility to shoot glutes, so being able to sit there and see WTF I'm doing makes quads convenient. But definitely been considering delts more.
 
I keep messing up my quad shots. This is the third time I've had an issue in the last year. My leg becomes so painful I can barely walk and it makes work almost impossible. I did a shot Friday and it's just starting to become a manageable pain. It usually takes about 2 days and My asking will turn light red and swollen. I don't think it's an infection but i definitely keep doing something wrong
 
I trained back last night, so I shot my left bicep.... Well, I literally was in so much main I couldn't sit still for about an hour... Tylenol helps a ton with PIP IME, so that allowed me to sleep. 3ccs into a bicep was a bad idea, oops... Gonna give those guys a break for a little while.
 
It makes me nauseous thinking about pinning anymore tren in my quads. The tren cough when you nick a vein is the worst fucking experience. It hurts like a mutha, feels like you are going to die, and makes me sick to my stomach. Next time I do tren, going to try another injection site.
 
Bravo for trying out all those sites, definetly braver than I. Ive had great luck and minimal pip sticking to glutes, delts and tri's. Cant go wrong and hit em everytime. Wife does glutes, or they would not be possible.

Now we can direct new guys with injection questions to your thread as a general reference, nice work bro.
