I HAVE THE BIG PART OF IT DOWN "SO I THINK" ANY SUGGESTIONS. 1. STAND UP STRAIGHT 2. LET ARMS HANG DOWN 3. TIP OF MIDDLE FINGER SHOULD BE AROUND INJECTION SITE. 4. INJECT AT 45DEGREE ANGLE. CLOSE ENOUGH. PIC ![]() ------------------ Lift ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

That guy in the pic has it right. Hit it in that general area, in the meat. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

There is a large area on the side of the quad that you can use. You will quickly learn where the nerves are so you can avoid them. I have never heard the 45 degree angle thing. I always go straight into the side of my quad. I have one suggestion. Do not use the top of your quad! While it will feel fine during the injection, over the course of the next week you will develop hellish pain in your leg. I had to learn this one the hard way. I have been told it is the same story for injecting in the inner leg. giantset ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I've read that you can divide your leg up like this. The top of your thigh would be 12 o'clock the outside middle would be 3 o'clock and the bottom would be 6 o'clock. I hope I'm describing this clear enough. You want to inject between 1 and 2 o'clock. If you use your hand hanging down your side and divide you leg up like this you should be in the right spot.

just me but i always take my quad injections sitting down with my leg relaxes. I do it on the outer portion of my quad and right between my knee and hip. I've hit some nerves a few times, but you learn where they are pretty quick. I would much rather be sitting down and hit one than be standing up and hit one. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I always get this wierd twitching feeling when injected my quads....makes me scared and not wanna do it. It's almost like the muscle is contracting a little under my skin. I'm certain it's not a nerve though. By the way, my quad is super-lean...I mean, I can't pinch any fat...its just skin and muscle. So I'm assuming I dont have to push the pin in very far to reach dense muscle. Maybe that is my problem, I tend to push it in pretty deep. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

NEVER EVER INJECT into the top of the quad.. I had the WORST WORST WORST pain from this.. No joke I would of rather had my leg fall off.. I could not even sleep it hurt so bad... Do it in the side with a 1 inch pin NO more than 1" Try not to use a 1 1\2.. I feel thats to big.. Anyway Hope you guys dont ever end up like I did the first time I injected..

I always do it sitting,always use 23g 1.5" and I notice twitching if I push slowly,like muscle contract a little.When I hit a little harder it doesn't happen.The area for injection is pretty big,so there's plenty of room to rotate even on same quad. I guess you get to know your body with time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
