Hearing you say quads are your favorite makes me feel a whole lot better. I hope they end up being my favorite too, they're just such a convenient site to pin, no twisting or reaching or straining to see

I only pin quads. You have to make sure u really grab the part your going to pin. It takes some practice but for me It works great. I can't even imagine pinning chest or delts. I got 23 guage 1 inch needles. Not touching my precious upper body with those.

You mean be very precise and aim perfectly to hit that sweet spot?

Where exactly is that sweet spot for you?

I did my research but I may have also gotten kinda lucky. My quads are pretty well developed, especially for natty, so I flexed to get a real good visual on where I wanted the pin to go. I aimed for dead center between my hip and knee, and went at about a 45 degree angle with the floor being the reference point and went directly into the most muscular part of my vastus lateralis. I hope that makes sense for you to visualize what I did. I buried the entire 1 inch 25g and kept it as still as possible while I pushed the plunger hard slow and steady until the barrel was empty, then I let it sit for about 20-30 seconds before I pulled it out. Barely a drop of blood came out and at no point did anything hurt. I did almost the exact same thing for my second pin of deca into my left quad with almost identical results. I know I pinned almost identical because they both felt exactly the same with my leg workout and now how sore they both are, but not that bad, they're not too sore. The only difference is I put 2.5ml Test Cyp in my right quad and only 1ml deca in my left quad. Both smooth DQ oil.

I'm planning another 2.5ml 500mg test cyp shot for Thursday but will probly go with glutes, I really wanna try out the VG I've heard so much about but don't have a clear idea of exactly where the pin will go, also not sure if it will even hold 2.5ml of oil. I'll probly just end up doing a standard glute shot. I'm not super confident with that either. I guess I was spoiled with my quads because they're so muscular and defined it was obvious where to pin them.

Any suggestions?

Ya if it goes in smooth like butter and your not feeling it. I think your doing it right.

Also I do not aspirate. It's up to you on that. I know a lot of brothers swear by it but it's actually not standard medical practice to aspirate im injections anymore.

Damn that's news to me! Wonder what caused that change?!

OP, you asked about the VG. GREAT spot to pin but very hard to explain where it at. The best way I can is stand with your feet about shoulder width a part and rock back and forth putting your weight from leg to leg. If you're lean enough you'll see a part bulge out from your side hip area. It's not to big and runs. Down your leg a little ways. You can also see it if you put weight on one leg and kick the other out to the side. It'll make kind of an "L" shape when you do that. Pin the middle of that.

I know that's gunna be hard but give it a go and see if you can see what I'm talking about.

Get you some 50mg/ml suspension. Kinda expensive but the shit pins so easy and not much pip really

Oh wow! He actually does grab the muscle, I didn't do that.

Is that pretty standard?

Does everyone do that?

Yeah I don't aspirated either, I heard about the change.
