Injection site question?

So, is there any issues or hazards of just pinning in the same area all cycle or is best to switch between glutes and quads and so on?

Sticking to a single muscle for an entire cycle is a pretty good way to find yourself with oil puking out of the muscle in short order. I’ve seen more than one guy with oil lumps from trying this kind of thing.

Seriously, get comfortable with different muscles, or you might want to consider whether or not this whole thing really is for you. I’m at the point now where I rotate between side delts, front delts, two different quad areas, pecs, biceps and ventroglutes.

Fenix7 has a point that volume, irritation, scar tissue, and whatever is best spread out aBambss multiple sites. I think it’s worth noting that while we say that site enhancement is bs there is a bit of truth to it, even if it’s just from the oils stretdark_sideng muscle fascia and possibly causing minor irritation– and who wants to be lopsided? What you might get away with on one low-volume cycle is not good, sustainable practice.

The “quads” have the following benefits that glute max injections don’t:
-it’s more than one muscle.
-the vastus lateralus is much larger by surface area, giving you the ability to rotate a couple of sites without having to worry about the oil permeation that happens. (It’s not a major factor but does happen)

Lat injections would also offer this last benefit, assuming you can reliably reach multiple areas without pulling an uncomfortable contortionist act that results in a bunch of syringe movement.

Nine times of ten, people who stick to glute only have this habit of pinning themselves within the same two inch area.

Even most western medicine is slowly moving away from glute max injections, and there are a host of reasons for that.

personally, for spot injecting , I like to using 1/2" 29 g insulin pins. I will back fill a bunch of them at once with gear. then keep them stored and grab one or two every day and spot inject biceps, triceps, front delts, upper pecs, etc..
easy breezy

you have better odds of winning the lotto, going to celebrate by going to the beach, then get bitten by a shark and hit by lightning at the same time.
just saying.

I won the lotto yesterday. Went into my glute, and since I had tren I was like oh yeah I’m aspirating. I just instantly saw a stream of blood filling the syringe lol. Pulled out changed the head and moved the spot, easy injection. The blood bubbles looked badass in the test/tren mix too

yes this does happen, its mainly from penetrating through a vein. IF you would not of aspirated and simply injected, the oil would of blown out or blown back the vein and the gear would of still ended up in the muscle end not in the blood stream (though you would of had a bruise). of course a little bit of the Tren may get into the blood stream ,, thats when your lungs begin to burn your body gets all flushed and you can’t breath for a good 15 mins. fun stuff

Apparently delt injections on a first cycle are unusual? That was my very first injection haha. I rotate delts, triceps, quads, and glutes. I did lats too, but I hit a nerve my third time doing it so I’m done with that for now. I didn’t even know there WERE nerves there, but that’s also the only muscle where I didn’t bother to check nerve and blood vessel pathways. That said, lats seem to be almost immune to PIP.

The more you do it, the more comfortable you’ll be with it, the more you’ll feel like switdark_sideng it up. Eventually, your hand won’t even shake even while using your non-dominant hand to inject.

I don’t think it’s so much that lats are immune to pip, as that you have to put yourself into some odd positions that would make said pip really obvious. For example, I thought my biceps were immune to it, and then I decided to do some ridiculous behind the back stretdark_sideng of them one day. Oh, it’s there, it just wasn’t being aggravated. I think that’s part of why side delts seem to have to few issues with it. You have to do some intentional and funky shit to get a real stretch on those.
