Bruised butt

[Whitems24]

Yah so all the sudden when I pin on my glutes it bruises , never use to do this . It's kinda freaking me out, and is it okay to keep pinning around these areas ? Expert advise needed thanks

Your pin could be too large(doubt it) or you're constantly jabbing the same spot. My guess is you're pushing through scar tissue. That can be very painful. My suggestion is to try a new spot. I love quads but I'll also go in my delts and pecs. Rotate every time.

Damn I think your right , I started my fourth cycle and always go in both cheeks . I guess they've had enough , thanks for the response and I'm going to do some research on this scar tissue dilemma. I guess it's time to man up and hit the quads !

I love hitting my quads. It's a big area and you can see what you're doing. I naturally shake, so it's nice to be able to use both hands. It doesn't hurt as bad as you'd think either.

You should rotate as many injection sites as possible to reduce scar tissue build up. I would rotate in side deltoid and outer quads to your injection schedule. Here are some tips for reducing PIP:1. Heat up the oil prior to injecting. Run the vial under hot water for 1-2 minutes. Heating up the oil will bring it closer to body temperature and make the oil disperse from the muscle into the blood stream much easier. 2. Gently massage the injection site for 1-2 minutes after the injection. It'll help disperse the oil into the blood stream.3. I am a big advocate of training the muscle you injected into that day. It'll help disperse the oil from the muscle into the blood stream. In other words, try to time your glute injection on the day you train legs/glutes.

What position do you use to inject your glutes? I had been pinning while standing. I started getting excessive bleeding ( I ruined my carpet one injection as so much blood squirted out). Now i lay prone on my bed and reach back and pin it. I haven't bled or bruised yet in this position and there's no pain even with a 22 gauge needle.

The key is getting the glute completely relaxed. It may indeed bleed a little bit, but if it does so to such an extent, as you stain your carpet, there is definitely something wrong with the injection technique. It is alright to inject while in bed, but make sure that you don't activate your glute muscle when trying to reach it. Ideally, it is always best to get someone else for the glute injections. Also, doing more frequent rotations will give your glutes more time to recover.

you have scar tissue from abusing injection spotsfind other spots.. delts, pecs, quads are easy places to inject

 

[Whitems24]

All great info ! Also I do 4 injections a week of 1 cc (2diff compounds) . What would be the max to put in a needle to inject ?, like 1 1/2 cc or just getting crazy like and doing 2cc in a spot?

 

[stevesmi]

2.5CC's would be a smart max. you can go more depends on the compound
