Delt Shots

[kloan]

Did your first delt shots hurt?
How about now, do they still hurt?
How much do you inject?
Do you wait to train your shoulders until the next day?

How about now, do they still hurt? A BIT
How much do you inject? .5
Do you wait to train your shoulders until the next day?
NO WAY JOSE

[Adonis13]

ill inj up to 2cc's per delt but gotta wait about 3 hrs before lifting for me. no pain on injection just if i put pressure on the muscle for the first little bit after theres a bit of tenderness.

[PdH]

Did your first delt shots hurt? - No
How about now, do they still hurt? - Never did and do not with decent gear
How much do you inject? - 1 - 2
Do you wait to train your shoulders until the next day? - Yes

[daande]

I have trained my shoulders on the same day as a delt shot.

[tiramisu]

When I first started I thought 400 mg/ml test was a great idea and every injection hurt. The only time I have put off a workout because of an injection was when I injected EO and discovered that I am evilly allergic to the shit.

same, 400mg in EO = insane pain/swollen/sore for days (7-10)

[bongd]

I pin delts and train afterwards, even a day later when there's a bit of tenderness. There is never any PAIN though. Pain = shitty gear or shallow injections. Inject at least a full inch or 1.5" and you won't have a problem.

Up to 2ml with no problems whatsoever. I almost forgot which delt I pinned when it came to pinning my other delt this morning.

[Ritch]

Did it once, and got an infection, lol. But I really find it hard to reach the side delt and aspirate once the pin is in. I don`t know how some of the really big guys can do a delt shot by themselves.

Did your first delt shots hurt? NO
How about now, do they still hurt? NO NEVER
How much do you inject? UP TO 3cc

did my first delt shot hurt no but i have had some that did hurt.. i've shot 2cc's in my delts without issues.. and i always inject after working out not before.. more of a convenience issue..

[kloan]

Cool, thanks for the replies guys! :)

My first shot in each delt hurt quite a bit (almost 2.5cc), left side a little more than the right, but only for a few days. One shot each side so far. The first shot I actually trained my shoulders later that day, approx 5 hrs or so later. It's hard to avoid because of my routine, so sometimes they land on the days I train shoulders.

[Ritch]

I`m keeping my fingers crossed for you on this one Kloan...

[tiramisu]

I'm pretty sure you should just take all you paraphenalia and put them in a box and send them to me. This will solve all of your discomfort issues.

I just did my first delt injection today 1ml of Test E and I found that it was a bit tender afterwards. When I put the needle in 23G 1 inch it was fine but I found it hard to aspirate once the needle was in. I think I moved the needle sideways a bit when I tried to aspirate and that is what is causing the little pain that I have. Some blood came out after the shot, not alot but when I did outer thigh there was no blood at all. Not sure if I did something wrong but when I aspirated there was no blood so maybe it was the moving that caused my soreness.

[kloan]

Hey, I forgot to include 1 more question in my original post.
How many of you have hit a nerve when you went in?

I've only done two shots, one on each side so far... each one first time going in I hit a nerve.

When im leaning out i hit lots more nerves in the side delts so i just stick to rear delt shots or back shots period. Traps are easier then side delt shots for me. Here is a pic of all the spots i find easy to pin with very little to NO pain at all.

Lats, i go in from front to back/horisontal.

Traps, 45 degree angle/top to bottom.

Read delts, 90 degree angle right down into muscle.

Smaller back muscles around shoulder blades, same as rear delts.

Glutes, 45 degree angle/top to bottom.

[PdH]

How can you possibly pin your rear delts or lats by yourself?

[tiramisu]

lats are pretty easy to pin from the side under the arm.

[dremen]

If u can touch the area with your fingers u can reach it with a pin...lol

Cmon lats are SOO easy man. Left hand holds right delt while right hand pushes pin into left lat.

Rear delt or shoulder blade area i just grab pin, reach arm behind back and push the pin in going almost str8 down.

Super easy IMHO.

[PdH]

Sorry but it's not happening for this kid. I certainly cant reach the chart identified areas on my lats, nor will I be jabbing a pin into a tense muscle as per the rear delt. That's just nonsense.

[tiramisu]

Once you get into a cycle of daily injections the more sites you can use the better. I'll be the first to admit that adding a new injection site always makes me anxious but such is life.

On the back the infraspinatus and rear delt are easy IMHO and the lats.....well IMHO that's the easiest spot to hit.

To each there own though bro.

Oh and ya when you're injecting 3ml's ED/EOD for 4-5 months new sites are fun to try...lol

[kloan]

lol.. i can't reach any of those spots.... i have zero flexibility... guess i'm just too huge. :D

but seriously, no... that won't work for me. i find it hard enough just reaching my side delts as it is.

How the **** can u not reach the side delt kloan lol???

[kloan]

i can reach it with my fingers, but when i have the syringe in my hand it moves my hand further away, and it's really quite awkward holding my arm for a while in that position as i inject. there's no way i'd be able to reach any further than that.

Ha ha well if u can wipe yer ass and grab yer balls you should be more then able to do a delt shot bro. Maybe i just have long arms im not sure lol.

Guess its chest, biceps and side triceps for you bro:)

no, no and hell no! lol... i'll stick with delts and glutes for now, and maybe quads.

[PdH]

Lateral delts, glutes, and quads are what I pin. I may give pecs a try though.

Teres major and minor are the only things I can touch on my back, but I certainly can't get a pin in them, aspirate, and inject. No way, no how.

Almost everywhere i inject is a sweet spot bro. I really like outer calf and back shots now. Muscle is a lot softer then delts, tris, quads ect.

Lats are sweet as well, just go deep and a 3ml inject of prop/tren/mast is nothing. Maybe a lil sting if u sleep on that side, but no ****ing pain.

Even the 1-test i used had a bite to it, but never any "OMFG" pain.

Then again i ALWAYS heat the oil under HOT ass water first while in the syringe, then inject, then shower. Also i think a lot of guys inject right on a large nerve that's why they get so much ****ing pain.

[dremen]

Ok here are a couple pics of where i do my lat shots and rear delt shots.

Might not be rear delt exactly, but still nice n soft and pin slides in like butter. 23g/1'' BTW.

lol! wow.... you like needles eh dremen? geeze.... im still squeemish with them.. even after so many pokes, i still dont like em.

im surprised you dont have any problems with leaking out of muscles with shots like those.. shit you can barely see what you're doing, and those rear delt shots look like you're injecting sub-q.

Well i guess i just got tired of glute shots bro....lol

And nope no leeking bro.... maybe a drop here and there, but nore more then normal. The rear delt shot only looks like that cause the needle is bending over. It's in the muscle pretty good.

And if you do it in front of the mirror you can see everything kloan:)

I can pin 1000 times and never feel squeemish, but im scared to death of little paper cuts.....lol, go figure eh;)

[PdH]

those rear delt shots look like you're injecting sub-q.

Or even shallower. I can see the sharp pushing up your skin Dremen.

That's not because im in too shallow it's because i was moving around tryn to take a picture......lol

Either way the point im tryn to make here is there are lots of other spots to inject that don't really hurt at all. Also it's very easy to reach the lats....cmon im holding a camera and a darn pin and i can still get it in properly..lol;)

[Ritch]

Those shots don`t look right Dremen. The real delt shot does not look very deep. The lat shot is damn near in your arm pit, lol. That`s just my instincts talking. Would like to hear what the vets have to say here.

Besides the usual "Shut the **** up Dremen..."

Honestly Ritch the shots work for me so i got no worries...;)

Even if the shots are not as deep as normal I don't see the big deal, like cmon every one was so interested in sub-q AAS shots soooooo...lol

You say you shoot lats. Looking at the pics, I gotta ask, what lats?:rolleyes:

[Victor85]

Whoa! I never done lats before, let alone rear delts. Shit, it is also very difficult to do my side delts, I tend go for the anterior delt if I ever inject into delts.

So im not in the best form right now, but im still here trying to help and that's more then i can say for you bub.
