I’m done with Quad Shots

[Brock456]

This is another “I’m done with….” Bc I’m 40+ and can’t handle it thread.

I don’t know. I used to always pin quads 20’s, 30’s and no issues. Even high volume like up to 3 cc’s.

This last year however no matter the volume, time in between shots, etc it’s like concrete trying to pin it and then there’s a knot or PIP for like a week. It’s not the gear bc the same gear goes everywhere else with no pain.

Maybe it’s too much scar tissue built up? I don’t know. But I can’t do it anymore. It suckd too bc I always liked quads and used them like glutes as an area that takes high volume.

I have the same issue, always have.

I ended up on antibiotics a few months back after a l-carnitine shot didn't go well. I've used the same l-carnitine bottle in glutes and delts with no issues and even finished it (it wasn't the product), it was my quads.

Sensitive areas for me and always had PIP, so they're out!

 

[Scuncknuts]

Peptides or less than. .5 ml oil I can do. Never again

 

[Splitzz]

Always have stayed away from pinning quads. Way to may horror stories

 

[chooch]

Quad shots have always crippled me. I really don’t know why but I abandoned them long ago and will never go down that road again.

 

[d4ve]

I was done with quad shots after about my 3rd shot, lol.

Only place I've ever had a gusher or soreness that really interfered with life.

Exception being the upper quad / TFL area, but even that feels janky...I've basically just pinned mid / rear delts and upper glutes for the last few years.

"dear diary, today Brock quitted pinning his quads other then that its been a good day"

I hear ya man, alot of people i know has had nothing but problems with pinning quads, personally only issue i ever have had was some PIP thats all..

 

[maxrep24]

If it’s really hard to push the plunger through it’s definitely scar tissue, I use to love doing quads, half way between my knee and hip, always pain free until that one time i don’t know if i went down too far towards the side of my leg and hit my IT band or what but i couldn’t bend my leg without excruciating pain for a week, it was right before vacation too and i had to tell my family i messed my knee up at work lol never touched my quads again

Actually just got prescribed an antibiotic for this one too….. ughhh

If you've had hundreds of quadriceps injections in the past and everything was fine, and now you feel "concrete," it's most likely scar tissue. The shoulders can also absorb a lot of oil; you're sure to find a new spot you like.

P.S. I don't recommend bicep injections. I had them twice, and I felt them for about two months. Maybe I did something wrong, but I felt discomfort even with normal activities.

 

[Durro NoHurtNoBigShirt]

I guess my body is telling me the same thing. My left quad starts jumping and when I do inject I can see the nerves twitching it’s crazy and it’s only my left quad.

I haven’t hit a nerve or anything just sometimes get pip or a knot but rarely.

 

[massephase]

quads and triceps is all I do

No issues

This shit got me. Nice work

Long live Quad shots!

To this day, still my go to pinning spot. I must have about 30 - 50 wild hogs worth of scar tissue but it's just so fast and easy.

I get it though and I hear your complaints. For whatever reason, I need a 22 gauge or larger for glutes. Probably about 100 wild hogs worth of scar tissue.

 

[Goodfella1988]

A lot of nerves and veins in there. I’ve for the most part stopped hitting them for that same reason. I have some scar tissue built up from earlier years use in my 20’s hitting them weekly. Now I mostly stick to lats, delts, and if need be v-glute, chest, traps.

 

[madcap71]

I hate quad shots but when I do them, I've found the higher up I go, the less injection pain and PIP I get.

 

[Mufasa123]

Last quad pin was in the mid-1990s. They always sucked for me. I probably only ever did 10 quad pins total either.

I'm usually a slow learner and stubborn. That should tell you something about how much I dislike pinning quads.

I pin quads everyday with either 35mg test cyp or 17mg test prop, using a 27 gauge 1/2 inch slin pin. I’m 57 years old. My gear uses MCT as the carrier oil. Smooth as butter!
I wouldn’t dare do it with larger volumes and larger pins. I left that behind 2 decades ago.

Hahaha ride that wild hog, Brotha!!!

 

[hawkmoon]

I think I pinned quads 2-3 times over the decades. Far too sensitive.

Nowadays I consider infection risk as well and consider worst case scenario. I only inject glutes for AAS, and never more than 2.5-3ml. IM delts for GH, subq belly or hips for peps.
