Im on my first cycle. Daily injections. At first there was pip every time and one day it just stopped all together.

This is a great thing to share. I think most of us went through this as well.

Pinning “virgin muscle” usually leads to pip. After a little while the muscle gets used to it.

I was just not thrilled about the needles. Having now done peptides/HGH, I’ve gotten a bit more comfortable with the idea.

Yup, totally get it. When I started pinning I would get really warm and short of breath… I guess it was like a mild panic attack. After about a month the whole process became familiar and not so scary.

You’ll get used to it very quickly. You really have to just hang in there the first two weeks.

The first time I did my left outer thigh it hurt a lot going on and I felt very dizzy after. Now the thighs are my favorite spot. Delts are super easy but don't hold the amount of oil I'm injecting lol. The thing about the thighs that weirds me out is how veiny they are, and just trying to make sure I aim between veins..... At 16% body fat currently so they aren't exactly easy to spot yet

Thanks! And thanks to everyone else for the insights! Don’t want to clog up the thread with a bunch of thank you replies, and don’t have the like button.

Curious if your guys add a bit extra to account for any dead space on the v easy touch. I use these and thought I read it was .1-2ml. not a ton but something

The dead space is already accounted for.
1ml is 1ml with dead space factored in

I’m going to pretend I didn’t read this and keep adding extra oil in the syringe.

Thanks @AllGoodThings math is hard sometimes lol. I meant .01ml not .1. thanks for helping me with fifth grade math. I need it sometimes.

Glutes and quads are my favorite. Delts remind me of being a little kid with a sore shoulder after a doctor's visit.

U Like to live on the wild side I see until you hit a nerve and blood sprays everywhere lol

I've probably done close to 1,500 quad shots over the past 2 decades, it's my favorite site. Never had an issue with nerves or significant bleeding. Dodging the veins can be fun I suppose lol. I guess I'm just lucky?

Damn I rather not touch my quads as I compete and I don’t want to risk hitting a nerve or vein again and cause some damage

My nerves are so bulked up from gear and working out the pin just bends if I hit one

@AllGoodThings btw order #6 I’m still behind you lol

I think using 30g 1/2" and going in the correct area of the quad really minimizes risk, but I totally understand your decision to not risk it. 30g thin wall pushes 1ml in about 30 seconds for me, and that's MCT at about 60° Fahrenheit, would go way faster with heated oil.

Yeah, I've got 7 inbound now, and 8 soon to follow once that tasty Test D 500mg/ml drops

23g 1" is what I started with there.

Finally graduated to a 27g 5/8 courtesy of this thread and the suggestion of nipro thin walls. Also found some ez touch 27g 5/8 insulin needles that serve the same function. No issues as of yet.
