25 gauge 1 inch 0.8cc
when i first went in I hit a nerve,
then i tried again and I immediately I felt like I pinned the wrong spot and my calf was kind of "dead" for like 18 hours but it went away pretty quickly.
also my calves are in a constant state of soreness from EoD calf training so I'm kind of used to ignoring it.
i kind of winged the injection and i think i pinned too far to the side, on the inside of the calf, instead of going straight from behind the calf
So basically 11 out of 10. Got it. Never pin calves. Ever.

Kudos for having the stugats to do it though.
 
pinned my calf yesterday because I'm an adrenaline junkie
25 gauge 1 inch 0.8cc

Damn dude! 25g?...1"? I've done 31g 5/16" slinpin of .5cc Npp bc I'v never had ANY pip from NPP, ZERO PIP, no matter where I pin it. So i thought that would be my safest bet for my first time with calves. Boy, let me tell you, I'll never do it again. I knew it was a bad idea and heard of guys saying how bad it was, but hey, maybe I'll be different? Right? Maybe I'm special?... Let's see how it goes. The first pin was late in the day when i finally decided to try it, and it went well. No trouble or pain going in, plunging or afterward. No pain at all for the rest of the evening.

The next morning ok a little sore, but it's really not bad at all, I'm gonna do another one (same calf just different spot). There was no extra pip from the second pin, just the general soreness I woke up with, and i was good all day. I've had worse doms after a calf day than this.

On the third day, I rose again, and hoooly fuck. It was madder than a bear with a chapped ass. That puppy was screeaamin, man. Anytime I tried to lift my toes and stetch my calf, it felt like the worst burning calf cramp, I mean it really fucking hurt. I could only walk if I kept all tension off that calf. For the next 3 days, i was walking around on my tippytoes with my right foot. And that was all just with a cute little 8mm slinpin. 25g? Uhh, that's a no for me, dawg.
 
Where do you guys buy your gym clothes?

I go to a pretty fancy gym now so my random T shirts make me look like I have a day pass.

Looking for like relatively plain stretchy synthetic material shirts that the V shape well. no stupid phrases

Lol. I have been thinking the same thing. We (meaning performance enhancement enthusiast) already stick out. God forbid you are older and you take off your hoodie. The whole gym starts staring at the yolked out dude in the Bananarama t-shirt.

I just got turned onto Bylt by my cousin. Got some performance (thinner drifit) coming in the mail today.

The Lux style he sent was nice but a bit thicker material for my liking. Perfect to wear out and about though. Good fit, nice taper, etc. and I need a 3xl at current physique. The tank top one of my favorites ever.

I’ll report back on the 3xl performance t shirts I’ve got coming today.
 
Update on the 3xl performance Bylt shirts. Absolutely love the fabric and material. Lots of stretch, soft, drifit like type fabric.

Fits bigger than the Lux version, but I much prefer this. The Lux seems like a proper T Shirt to wear out TBH.

2xl Lux seemed just a tad small on me for my liking. 3xl performance is a tad big on me. I have a 2xl performance coming - snagged one of the last ones. I think that one will be money. I know it'll be perfect for when I'm done with this blast.

Would highly recommend giving them a shot. I believe 30% off ends today but don't think they have much stock left last I checked.

Eh it’s too big imo. I think 2xl is going to be perfect.

I’m going to return the other 3xls I got once I confirm.

I know you were joking but for real do you have any synthetic / dri fit shirt suggestions that can be used inside and outside of gym? Searching for that unicorn.

No bro, I do not.

I wear cotton as much as possible. I don't like the feel of polyester for shirts, unless I can wear a tank or undershirt underneath—and those few are only for "going out."

In the gym, I wear 100% cotton shirts. La Coste, Adidas. Hoodies and Sweatshirts are cotton or poly/cotton blends. Pants & Shorts are the 4-way stretch poly/elastane Adidas, Under Armour.

For outings, my favorite cotton dress shirt is Percival. Beautiful shirts. Their largest size will be tight on you, but they hug well and show off the "V" physique. You would smash in those.

Finding clothing when your over 6' and 250lbs is a time consuming challenge. I usually order 8 or 9 different shirts and only hang on to about half, if that... return the rest. It's a pain.

I'll keep my eyes open for what you're looking for.

you could tailor the sides in so it doesnt hang
 
Just throwing it in here so the other day I was chatting with the misses while pinning (a thing that I never do but hey we all do mistakes sometimes)
So long story short I ended up forgetting to swap needles and I did pin myself with a green in the Lat.

I felt like I was pinning with a BIC pen lol

Surprisingly no pip, I must be getting good at pinning, still...Never again with a green lol

Green = 23? Lol not quite as nice as a 25!

Oddly enough I feel like sometimes the pressure of oil coming out of needle and the wiggling that happens in an awkward position for too long pinning can contribute more to PIP than the larger gauge, if that makes sense.

But I am with you on team 25g for 3cc injections!

Green as 21! Now you understand my pain lol

And yes I agree with you as I literally thought fcuk it and just pressed and the whole ml went in one second, fastest pin of my life!

25g(orange) or 24g(purple) are my go to nowadays.

I tried 27g but it takes too long to inject even a single ml, sometimes I read about people using insulin needles 30g and I ask myself do their injections last 10 minutes? Lol
