Delt Injection

[Landmine]

I did my first delt inject yesterday and had no problems. It was way easier than glutes. My question is how many cc's can you inject onto each delt?

 

[glenihan]

well that kinda depends on how big your delts are but i would start with 1cc and you can safely work your way up to 2cc's

I did 1.5 yesterday with no problems. Thanks!!

no soreness today? usually the first time you inject into a muscle its sore just from being a virgin muscle .. that's great though .. what did you inject and what was its concentration?

 

[UNDERTAKER]

arent you afraid of hitting some tendon or bone when injecting into the delt? Seems like scary **** to me.

I'm a tester for L-Carnosine. I spot inject 1.5cc's into the muscle that will be trained a hour before workout. (300mgs/ml)

Nah, you just got to know where to poke!

 

[UNDERTAKER]

unless you have no muscle on your delt if you use a 1 inch pin you don't have to worry about hitting a bone

i agree with glenihan, I always use a 1 inch 25G for my delts and I love them. I injected 1CC of Tren Ace and 1CC of Test into just about every muscle on my body and delts and quads were the least painful...

I had to use a 21.5 gauge so it hurt a liitle bit.

is it just me or does 1cc look like a very small amount. It only fills up a syringe like a half an inch.

You got to look at the surface area of your delt compared to a larger muscle like your glute.

 

[UNDERTAKER]

i just meant in general, 1cc looks like a small amount when you see it actually in the syringe

It is but what counts is how manys mgs you are getting per cc.

 

[UNDERTAKER]

this is true....

 

[Cuffs]

Yeah, but that 1" pin looks hella bigger than it actually is.

 

[UNDERTAKER]

very true

i hit my delt last night with a 25g 5/8'' pin. what a breeze that was.
1ml test E

 

[Matthew D]

1 inch pin and I would say that 1.5 would be enough in that area..

 

[Boss_K]

just to let you guys know i'm pretty big but i use 1.5" pins and ive pushed one damn near all the way in my delt with no issues...same thing with pecs. you guys are paper thin are ya?!? lol....

 

[theamazing3000]

I have never had a problem with delt injections, I have gone up to 2ml. I am a fairly large person though.

 

[UNDERTAKER]

how big are you guys? I am 5'10 215.

 

[Cuffs]

I'm with Matt here. 1.5ml's is about all you want for your delts. You can push it to 2ml's, but I wouldn't go over that. A 1" pin is plenty, 5/8" is okay, but better for tris, bis, calf, etc. For a lot, a 1" pin is good enough for glutes, but 1.5" is required for some.

5'-10.5", 232lbs here.

i started shooting 2mls in my delt with a 1inch pin. it seems to be more sore than usual, but i atribute that to the prop. i have to keep rotating my sites since im pinning eod

 

[theamazing3000]

currently 5' 11 245

 

[UNDERTAKER]

do you need more than a 1" needle for quads?

 

[Cuffs]

do you need more than a 1" needle for quads?

Some use a 1.5", but personally, I'd go with a 1" for all around for myself.

 

[Boss_K]

I go 1.5" because its not safe to stick the needle all the way in (just in case it breaks off) so why not have the security of being deep within the muscle? It seems like a big pin but its no big deal really....

 

[CarryOnTheChaos]

I'll agree with cuffs, unless Im pinning glutes I use a 1" for everything else from arms to delts to quads.

is needles breaking off in the skin a common occurance? And if it does happen what do you do?

 

[glenihan]

no ... go to the hospital

 

[mmorpheuss]

And definitely dont start shaking like Don Knotts once the needle is in :lol:


That should minimize the chance of it busting off into your muscle.

 

[theamazing3000]

I have heard many people say that they don't push the needle all the way in for fear of it breaking, however i have never heard of this actually happening!

 

[Cuffs]

It is not common, but it can happen if the needle is faulty. Try to not bury the pin all the way, like some may suggest you to do. Leave a little out, so if this does happen, you can pull it out. Have tweezers handy just in case. If it's buried under the skin, then go to the hospital.

My sister-in-law is a nurse at a prison and was giving an injection to an inmate. The needle broke off, but she didn't bury it. She just pulled it out by its end with her fingernails.

 

[Boss_K]

a pin breaking is not a big deal as long as its not all the way in! i've had bent pins that i just unwrapped from the factory seal....but i only drew up my oil with it....if your pin is questionalbe i wuldnt shoot with it...but dont worry about going too deep, 1.5" isnt really that much.
