Thread: Quad inject question

Sounds like you hit a nerve that caused a severe CNS response. I do quads and glutes and I find that staying higher up on the quad (i.e. maybe 5 or 6 inches below the hip) and far to the outside is best.

Yeah man, sounds like you've been very unlucky and hit a big nerve! I've hit nerves before and it causes my kneecap to twitch a bit but if I hold the pin there it settles down. Did you eat recently? I find that if I don't eat an hour before pinning I can get lightheaded.

Make sure you pin in the centre, outer leg. I think you've just had bad luck!

I mostly stick to quads only. Keep it high and outside. You'll be fine. The biggest thing is going to be getting the balls to try it again.

Imo, you should just stick to pinning delts and glutes until you get some more pinning experience under your belt. You are only injecting one compound for now anyway...

Funny cause I had the same reaction to delts. Started shaking and sweating.

Wow! Thanks for the responses guys--I appreciate them all.

Yeah, I have to admit:
a) I'm going to stick to glutes and delts for a while. Although tomorrow am will be my first glute injection (hopefully that wont happen there! LOL)
b) It's going to be a little freaky doing quads again--but I'll try in a month or so--let the memory fade a bit.

Yeah, I did eat about 15 minutes before, so I was cool in that respect. It's just crazy that my leg feels totally fine (and did shortly after that as well). But I tell you what, I'd heard of people hitting nerves and saying it was an "experience", but I was like, "Damn, if this is hitting a nerve holy kielbasa!"

ive never heard of some1 nearly blacking out off a quad injection i had a scary exp on this course 1st few jabs i used to only jab glutes got major swelling all the signs of a abcess but luckly it wasnt! just take care man... warm ur gear first take a hot shower before.. you defo hit a never tho thts why the pain ive always injected slow incase tht happend were as my friends pin really quick... each to there own just take care... p.s sound like a top girl u got there she hooked u up with gear.. shes a keeper lol

Were you standing or sitting? I always stand when doing quads. I place the leg I am doing forward and put all my weight on the back one. If I sit I tend to go more inward and that's when I get pain or hit a nerve, and have more soreness in the days following.

I was sitting at the dinner table....the strange thing is I had my iphone up with the injection site on the quads...so, I'm fairly positive I went in the right place. Although, I do think I am going to go higher and outside more in the future. So far as soreness goes, I've really not had any at all. ofcourse I'm only doing 1 ml test e for now. I'll try standing for it next time. Yeah, that was a messed up pain.

Oh and Jimm, yeah, she's pretty cool. :-)

i always pin quads super slow and if i even scratch a nerve i pull out and reinject

Do you think you may of hit a nerve and over reacted since this is new to you? I have hit nerves in my quads but it usually is nothing serious. I might have the muscle twitch some but that is it. It gets me anxious sometimes because I am not a big fan of needles going into my body to begin with. Goodluck and don't let this get you all bent out of shape.

Check the picture on this site and see if you are doing it this way???? Look at the pic of the person sitting down!

I hit that one almost everytime on my left side. I'm like wtf, again, really?!

No, I've went in 4x now and 3 of 4 x almost zero pain. That 2nd time when it occurred I was expecting no pain at all because the first 1 went so well. and the 3rd and 4th ones went well too. It was definitely an unusual feeling and experience. Plus, it was nothing I was expecting, the immediate shock and blackness, it was strange, then the shaking (fear), and uncontrollable sweating. I was like damn! But the leg is fine and really has been since then. no pain what so ever!

As far as the video...I'll check that tonight. I found a new place I'm looking at: howtodoinjections.com and see what that has to say.

:-) I am not a fan of injecting either. Once it's in and a few hours have passed I'm like Yeah! this is awesome! but about 20 minutes leading up to the event--it's like I'm about to sing the national anthem infront of a few million people. Lol!

Chance that you just psyched yourself out. Don't hesitate or go slow when advancing the needle in the muscle. Push it in at a quick steady pace , aspirate , and inject.

I put my pins in slow. But to each their own.

I go slow

I stick to delts and glutes. Most painless and less nerves there.



Do you guys go out to the side that much? I thought the injection site is supposed to face the front a bit.

Definitely out to the side. Every time I have moved inward I have been hobbled for days afterward.

I almost always pin quads and never felt a thing doing it!

No, I didn't go that far to the side, let's see 1/2 way down leg about the 11:00 position... I may try the side...

I did go slow... Everything was cool until I hit a hard spot, thought it was muscle and attempted to push though (slowly thank God) but the minute I applied pressure.. That's when I about gave up the ghost, lol.

You wouldnt hit a hard muscle...

Sit down take your hand palm down and place at your bend in your hip, like where your pockets would be and extend fingers down toward knee. Try sticking at the tips of where your fingers are (toward the outside). This is the perfect spot for me, never had an issue...

11:00 o clock? Wouldnt that be slight inside?

I ll try that.... Hands near pocket :-) thanks for the description

Well from your angle I guess I'd say the 1:00 position... But in any case it was the outside :-)

Just have the girl hit your glutes.

When i pinned in my left quad for the first time something similar happened to me. I got really chilly and started sweating real bad had to change all my cloths and lay down almost puked and then ten mins later i was reacovering and fine. I did it in the morn after taking liv52 arimidex and 15 mg dbol I just figured i had too many chemicals in me. Or was freaking out cause it was only the second time i had pinned(lol you know like going to faint). but the next one that went there was fine and went well.
