Delt injection question?

[Trulyhuge]

I use a 1" needle on my delts for injections. Today as I pulled the needle out it wasn't all blood. There was a lot of fluid..i.e. test coming out. Not a lot of test but some. That usually means the muscle hasnt been fully penetrated. I thought a 1" needle was ideal for delts? Anyone help me here? I have used 1.5" and not gone in all the way w/ no troubles.

That has happened with me before. I have learned to push the plunger with more care...slower to avoid this. Works for me.

Bro thats just internal pressure. I'll bet youve been hitting that delt for a while now huh? Swelling from the last injection plus a littl;e scar tissue with cause some oil to be pushed back, no biggy.... try to give the delts a break by rotating with more sites.

i agree with sweaty. i always use 1 inch pins for my delts and they work fine

:iagree:

Also, how much are you injecting in your delts? You may see some leaking when you use about 3ml. Try to massage the area after injections to help move the oil around.

I have never done more that 2 cc's in my delts. I am weary of quads shots...freak me out! Guess Ill have to get over it huh! Thanks guys!

Everyone has spots they don't want to inject, for me it's bi's, chest, calves. You should try the quad though, lots of meat there for ya to hit.

iVE SHOT MY:

ABS
CALVES
BIS
TRIS
DELTS
REAR DELTS
PECS
QUADS
GLUTES

the worst was the pecs and the abs.....son of a bitch!

[FRKNHUGE]

ive done em all but abs, lol
i have never seen them so i wouldnt know where to put the pin

TH go get ureself a deep tissue massage done, this will break up alot and make the delts like new again
also, rotate front and rears with the inj, rears have given me much better girth in the shoulder girdle

I use 25g x 1.5" in delts and all site inj's (1"-1.25" in) and every once in a while I get some oil coming back out.
It is usually if you tense up during the "pull out" of the pin and the oil follows the path back out.
Since I've gotten my wife to hit them for me, it doesn't happen.
But seriously, quad shots are easy as hell. But from HRT for 3+ yrs, I've got scar tissue that will actually push the pin back out. I'm talking jab it in, let go and watch it slide back out. Strange, but true (not frequent though)

[Trulyhuge]

I am unsure as to where to inject into the quad? I have seen pics on spotinjections.com where they do it from the front but I have been told to do them on the side of the quads? About where the ham and quad meet? Can anyone show a good pic or explain good enough as to where to shoot?

[FRKNHUGE]

the way i do it is
i flex the quad, find the middle of the outer sweep
relax and follow that point, thats where, abt 1/3 of the way down
frk

[ctgblue]

anywhere between 1/3 & 1/2 way down is good. I will vary due to frequency. Past 1/2 way you'll start getting into issues regarding the proximity of connective tissue.
IE, better a little higher, than too low

[Trulyhuge]

are there a lot of veins and vessels in this area? I'm just weary b/c I have heard of people getting messed up doing quad shots.

TH

[FRKNHUGE]

yes and yes, just aspirate, go in from the top, NOT the side
i went in from the side one time in both quads, got too close to the IT band of connective tissue and couldnt walk for 2 weeks then had to get a deep tissue to break up the oils
its gunna hurt, lol, everytime i do my quads, i draw blood when pulling out
every time i hit nerves too, lol i go SLOW, needle in slow, inj slow, needle out slow
