Have someone pin ur delts. By far my favorite site. And use a small gauge like 25 or a slin pin like Steve said

If it's a real problem for you you can get numbing cream. The best on Amazon is called "Magic Numb." It has lidocaine, Prilocain and Benzocain. It's mainly used for numbing an area before a tattoo. If you are going to pin in your glute you rub some on, use rubber gloves, then cover with plastic food wrap for about two hours. You won't feel a thing.

But hell I use a 28 gauge to raw with and then switch to a 25. But a lot of times I forget to change the needle and I don't use magic numb. My big problem when doing glutes is bending the needle be cause I can't see it. But as I was writing this I had the idea of placing a roll of TP on my glute as a guide of what was straight. I bet that will work.

Good luck it's really no big thing.

damn i hate quad pins, cant imagine doing that everytime. I hit my ass everytime I can and use quads as last resort only

It can be tricky. Only hit a nerve once... Hurt and made my leg twitch until I took needle out. For the most part though quads were easy. I am not sure I could accomplish the reach around to ass pin. I know many people pin delts too.

I hate quad shots too. They hurt, you walk funny, and there is too much uncertainty involved. Once I was doing one in front of my gf at the time and when I pulled out, a spurt of blood shot from my leg. Very thin and small amt, but being as my gf was scared of blood, she just about fainted. I lol'd at her. She wasn't amused.

All delt and glute shots for me, unless shooting daily.

Lmao!!!!! Holding your breath the whole time while injecting and then fainting ... Lolol!!! Yeah, I don't really do quads since years ago ... Hit the main nerve in my left quad once ... Hurt like no mofo could ever think. After that ... Not easily again. . Glutes until I have grown to the point of not being able to anymore.
