First pin ever!!!

[av ultra]

Well this morning I finally got the balls to pin this test e I got from astro. I used a 18x1 1/4 to draw and a 25x1 to pin, always hated needles but you are just wasting time with anything else. (oral)
So I decided to try the delt first, needle went in no problems, no pain but trying to push the plunger was a MUTHERFUKKER! took about 3 minutes to get that shit in, all the time freaked the fuck out about pinning myself. So the next time I wont be so nervous and heat it up a little more. It has been about a hour and so far no pip. So for my fellow first timers be prepared for the plunger resistance, and clean the fuck out of everything, hands, counter, and have cotton balls and alcohol ready too.

Damn first pin and you went for delt, I haven't got the nerve to try them yet.
Just seems an awkward angle to me. ventro glut, glut and quads only so far.

That's 6 spots, really all you need but give delts a shot.. My favorite place.

Yeah I haven't had the nerve to try the delt either. Interesting how that works. The angle and all that makes it seem more complicated. But good for you.

The angle is kinda weird, especially as hard as you have to push the plunger,but that is where I got my flu shot about a month ago and was painless. I was sweating breaking the needle off, that would be a bad day.

Try a 23 gauge needle. The pain isn't bad, but the oil is much easier to inject. The only problem i have injecting the delt is aspirating with one hand..but I've gotten that down.

You might want to give the quad a try next time. You have much more control over the needle and use of both your hands to aspirate.

Delt was what I pinned first as well, I was so shaky lol. Anyways, I agree with what someone else said, 23 guage is the best size overall to pin with.

I've tried 23s and they aren't horrible, but I think I'm going to try 25s or some slins and see what happens. Heard it takes a little longer, but less pain

25G 1" is fine. You need to push the plunger harder. I don't preheat my oil or anything, and I can shoot my quad with a 25 1" in 15 seconds no problem. First time took 90 seconds. Did some talking to medical professionals I know, and their thought is less needle time in, less wound trauma, less infection risk, less scar tissue, less PIP. My quad PIP was greatly reduced with using that advice. As long as you've got luer lock pins, just blast that shit in. No nurse will ever do any different.

I'm going to try to heat it up some more, it was like hyd. lock. Another side note I got some pip.

First pin in the delts..damn!
You got balls!
So far I've only done glutes.
I'm lucky though...my wife does it for me.

I get really bad swelling and pip when I pin too fast, how much volume are you pinning in 15 seconds? Anything over .75ml and I have to take my time or it's hell the next day

 

[ChillBill]

I had my first pin about a month ago, Man I was drawing with the same pin and it was a 22g.
I remember it being dull and having to push real hard in my glut till it popped right through, then 3cc's right in boom

1ml of 250mg/ml cyp. Today was probably my best injection yet, and the the PIP I have is only from the hormone absorption after the BA is gone.

Interesting. I get a knot at my injection site and pain farther down towards my knee if I pin 1ml in quads too fast

I don't get a knot, but the pain lower in the muscle is the hormone, and even that's faded since the muscles are starting to get used to it. I get that pain at about 12 hours, and now it fades at about the 24 mark, and it's mild. First time though I limped around like I got charley horsed by satan.
