1.5" pin is too long I think

[Vascular Freak]

I have been using a 25g 1.5" pin for glute sticks. During injections, the last 1/2" or so is kind of painful. It sort of feels like I'm hitting a nerve almost. The other thing is that I have been getting extreme swelling in my glutes only, quads I use a 25g 1" pin and it is virtually painless.

The swelling in my glutes lasts about a week, it turns red and gets hot and affects my entire glute and hip area and down the side of my leg.

I am only 180lbs and very lean with a smaller sized a**. Could I be injecting to deep hence the reason for excessive pain and swelling? I tryed only sticking the pin 3/4 of the way in the yesterday and it seems to be better, but I don't know if thats just because enough time hasn''t passed for the swelling to begin.

If the gear is going in, not coming out the injection site and you are convinced it is in the muscle, skip the 1.5 inch pin and use the 1 inch pin.

i just bury a 1'' 23 or 25 guage in my glute.. pain free.. and no oil leaks.. and apparently its working.. im leaner also.. i find a 1.5'' burys into the bone almost if i go all the way in..(not really but it feels like it)

When I flex the muscle, There is only but a 1/4" of skin and fat before I can feel the actual muscle. I am going to stick with the 1" from now on (pun intended).

What can happen if you inject to deep in the glute? Maybe this is why I have been having trouble with glute shots and "ghetto booty-like" swelling.

I am jacked like a bouncer at roughly 19% so I bury 1.5 inches in my arse and quads. No sense in chancing it with a skin infection i got last time i injected in adipose.

LOL ya in that case, like a cheap hooker take the full stick. My bf is near 7% so burying the 1.5" needle makes me worry that it is going to poke out through my stomach.

Happened to me on my last cycle twice... It swelled all the way to the side of my leg, was really hot and red for 4-5 days and could barely walk. Pain was really intense. Did the pin move a lot when you did the inject?Its not so easy for me still try it anyway after stretching out. Im guessing i hit a nerve and you did the same. I just stick to my delts and i have a couple spots on each quad that i hit. I just gave up on the glutes.

No I actually held the pin real steady, but a day or so later it swelled up and eventually the swelling worked its way around to the side of my hip and leg just like you said happened to you.

Oh well, 1" pin it is from now on.

 

[digimon7068]

i use 1.5's for everything. . .however, other than glutes, i just don't put it in all the way

 

[jetty]

i get knots every time i do a glute inject. Weird! I do quads only.

 

[mono_1]

i've been using my 5'8 25 pin np they did not have 1" delt and quad

 

[my_pain]

What kind of gear are you injecting? UG?

 

[jagerbombme]

i use 1.5 in my ass, the last 1/4" i feel it get tougher and a little pinching but i push the needle in really slow, i also as stated above, try to keep it at the same angle and not move around the syringe when i start pushing it in. this seems to help immensly, when i first started glutes, i was having all kinds of issues with moving it around and figuring a technique that i could use to keep it still. red sounds bad people. i've never had my shit turn red, knock on wood, everywhere i've read that means infection. but i did get a tennis ball in my glute once, i laid down to do some crunches and felt like i laid on something, i was like wtf. i sprayed direct hot water on it for while and gave deep tissue massage and it cleared up within a day. quads fucking scare me, too many nerves and viens and shit to hit. i like the glutes. my guys prop is pain free too, i can take one in each glute eod with no pain.

I use a 23 gauge 1.5" needle and never have any trouble

 

[gettnlarge01]

23g 1" in the glutes without any problems

 

[blut wump]

I weigh just shy of 280 and still use 24g 1" for glutes. High teens BF

 

[supertech69]

I have a ghetto booty & it stays pretty lean. I use a 1.5 just in case, I have gone w/1" when I've ran out before and had no problems. You have to have extremely small glutes to push all the way through, even with a 1.5". If that is the case, you probably should spend more time in the squat rack and less time on gear.

 

[gettnlarge01]

When squatting my goal is not to develope a big ass but big legs!!

 

[supertech69]

If you're squatting right, it's not a choice.

 

[blut wump]

Proper squatting doesn't give you a large arse, per se, but, rather, gives it shape and mass in proportion to the muscles around it. If you specifically want a runty arse then I suppose it makes sense to skip squats or bastardize them.
