Thread: can anything go wrong when pinning the glute?

It's a relatively safe area to pin when done correctly. You do have a major artery that travels down the center of the muscle, so you want to avoid that by hitting the upper outer quadrant. You are still putting a foreign substance in your body and sticking yourself with a pin so there are plenty of dangers that come with that.

this is true. You could also get AIDS from sharing dirty needles, so avoid that not matter the temptation to do so

Pin upper outer area,and avoid ur sciatic nerve,u hit that u will definitely know it,I hit it years ago and could not walk for like 4 days. Now I stick to pecs,biceps,calves,and dealts.check out spotinjections.com,,,,goodluck besafe..

Good answer. I always shoot for the upper right portion, but I've gotten careless and hit a vein. Lot of blood, but other than a messy cleanup and a lot of direct pressure, no big deal. Of course you have to use universal precautions about keeping things sanitary. Abscesses are nothing to mess around with.

if doing on injection a week is it okay to use the right cheek every time or should i switch back and forth. 12 week cycle.

I would switch from ur upper right to ur upper left my friend. if thats all ur doing is a 12 wk test cycle then u will b fine by just switching from side to side if u were pinning alot more then i would advise to pin in other places too like slimshady stated. good luck

Agreed. I'd switch back and forth. When I am injecting often I start moving it around, Usually delts first after glutes. Really just becomes a matter of personal preference.

delts are just so much easier to access and painless . . I can wack 3.5mls in them with a 23" no probs. If I have to rotate I do quads . . they hurt more but they're easy to do I guess.

Dont slip and hit your wang my friend , that would suck !

lol ^^


glutes always seemed like the easiest. would 1" work for delts? is it easier than gluteS?

5/8 or 1" for delts some even use 25g

If you're pinning tren though that shit might actually get a little bit in the vein. Thats painful

25g for ace, 23g for longer esters.

5/8's for quads
1-1.5 for glutes

does the longer esters make the liquid more viscous?

what about the deca

Question. You always go in at 90 degrees to your skin correct?

Yes. You want to go deep into the muscle tissue.

As stated above by others, the glutes is probably the safest place to pin, and I have read one study that says that pinning the glutes results in the highest blood plasma levels of your AAS.

Good luck bro, glutes are my favorite place to pin now because they are the least painful and bleed the least as well when done properly.

My poor right delt does not appreciate being pinned anymore... it has decided to retire from being a pin cushion. I don't blame it haha

26g too small for deca?

I'd say yes and 25g is pushing it from what i've heard. I really want to run 25g for test e but i'm not sure if it's big enough.

I've done it with Cyp and never had any issues..... it just comes out slower, but I'm not that impatient.

What gauge u reccomend? Ill prolly go with 1.5"

25g with test c must take a long ass time.

Answer me goddamit!

Also should I do 450mg once a week or 300mg every 5 days

I use 25 gauge, 1.5" for the glutes.

Why not 250mg, twice per week on Monday and Thursday ??
With Test, there is not too many noticeable sides, but normally you want more frequent injections to keep blood plasma levels stable, but when I am cruising between cycles, I do one injection per week.

No way dude, honestly it's not that bad.... especially once you transition from injecting Tren Ace to Test Cyp, it's actually faster because I would inject the Tren Ace VERY SLOWLY to avoid the cough. I can inject 1cc of Cyp in like 20 seconds with constant pressure.

Does deca need to be done twice or can I do once. Is there much of a difference?

You can get away with doing it once a week, deca has a very long ester. However.... depending on your dose of deca, that might be a lot of gear to inject at once, and it's better to keep blood levels stable by dividing in into twice.

I'm interested also. My guess is that the longer ester does not. I think it would be more of the specific compund you are dealing with.
