First right Quad Pin experince yesterday..

pinned in the outer quad area between knee and hip.. but the area right above my knee today is sore and a bit swollen kinda look.. kinda bothersome but I can walk.. feels like I worked out my legs kinda sore feeling.. the pin spot is fine.
Any suggestions?

Maybe the oils ran down since I did go to the gym about 30mins after.. ?

Also, it was 2.5ml.. maybe too much mls for one area?? Should I split areas?

Thanks for any responses! :D
 
I get that felling when I shoot quad. The pain down the knees can almost a radiating pain kinda like when you have bruise on your quad fr older brother hitting it with his knuckle, as you use ROM your quad tightens and loosens upon contractiom and relaxation. I do glutes more. Switching to my androgel again so no worries.

Had this a few times when I first started and occasionally when I miss, and bro knowledge (personal experience) is that it tends to be when I go too low on my quad and too fast on the plunger.

If you imagine sitting on the cr*pper (which I'm doing now) you want to be above halfway (by about an inch) between the two vertical parts of your body (outside of your shin and inside of your torso). I used to visualise this by quartering my thigh and aiming for about an inch outside of and below the two centre lines. Someone once told me the lower half of your thigh is more involved in the action of walking, but this could be b*llocks and I've never bothered to look it up.

In terms of injection speed, for me in this area I tend to gauge it at no more than 1ml per minute absolute maximum, which is sh*t because I'm pinning 5ml into my quads at the moment!! Going too fast causes me the inner knee pain, and I think it's something to do with pressure on the ITB. My right is worse than my left, which is where I had an ITB injury 10 months ago. I can feel the pain when I'm injecting if it's too fast or the oil is too thick (heat the syringe over a kettle for about 60 seconds or so if this is the case). Sometimes I have to pause for 30 seconds or so before continuing, which isn't too much of an issue if you're not in a rush.

I'm terms of massage, I don't do it after I pin at all, just wait 30 seconds before pulling out and getting up. I then do a couple of deep squats into explosive jumps, and make sure I'm on my feet for the next 10 minutes walking around, doing washing, making food - whatever. Seems to work for me.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks to both of you guys for the responses.

And yea I see both if the points you made..

Splitting pin spots can also help right? Or is it recommended?
Same amount of ml goin in the body just split between two areas, this shouldnt matter right?

Splitting it in theory won't make a difference in terms of the speed at which you will break it down. But, I wouldn't for the following reasons:

1. 2 shots means you need to sterilise 2 areas, load 2 syringes using 2 loading needles and 2 shooting needles, if you want to be totally clean about things. Effectively you're doubling the costs of your ancillaries, and you are also making it more difficult to accurately deliver the same amount (there is wastage on the pulling and pinning of every shot - your technique dictates how much). Accurately measuring 2 x 1ml doses is harder than accurately measuring 1 x 2ml dose without wastage. The less shots you load and pin, the less steroid you will waste.

2. Irrespective of your proficiency and style, an injection will cause minor inflammation and minute scar tissue build up to the injection site. Your experience and ability at injection will determine how much. This is only minor, but splitting your dose doubles this.

3. Depending on what you are cycling and how many times per week you are injecting to keep levels stable, splitting sites for the same injection, especially when you are talking about quads and 1 - 2ml, means that you are taking out a site you could use next time, or you're giving each site less time to heal and recover. If you were using a short ester or aqueous Winstrol, you're either using a LOT of injection sites or massively reducing this recovery time.

4. Based on the amounts you are talking about, your quads should be able to handle it without splitting adequately. It is a large muscle; I am doing 5ml into mine and I don't have huge legs at all. If you were talking about bicep or tricep injections, or pec injections, then gauging the right amount is much more critical as it is a smaller muscle. Trust me, you can take it; this is all to do with your technique and I can't stress this point enough.

Hope this helps, but ultimately this is just advice and it's your decision.

Great response! Thanks!
And I usually do the glutes but im giving them some time off.. I pin mon n thurs so I have recovery times between four spots (glutes n quads)

:D
 
You're welcome. Is your leg straight when you pin? I find it easier with a cushion underneath it giving it around a 15 - 20 degree bend in the knee, which seems to keep things more relaxed and easier. Good luck.
 
Don't go through the side you push the through the ITB which gets inflamed down to the knee. Go on top of the quad might sting more but less after effects.

Agreed. An inch off the centre line seems to work for me on with missing any veins though and doesn't cause muscle soreness.
