Where should competitors inject?

[d4ve]

I've done almost every shot in side or rear delts for the last ~4 years. I think it's contributed to a bit of site enhancement, nothing major but it was a tip from Justin when I transitioned from powerlifting to bodybuilding, given how much my delts needed to catch up.

I like glutes the best, but I've been avoiding them for fear of scar tissue eventually blurring striations...although given the larger volumes of oil I'm working with now, I'll probably get back to them. The upper / ventro glute area seems a better bet, I think I'll keep off the lower part / meat of the glute max.

Might open up lats, too...I have a (perhaps unfounded) fear I'm going to inject there and then pull something in training. Delts and glutes virtually never tear on anyone, can't say the same of lats.

Somebody on here mentioned injecting real high up in the middle of the quad awhile back, and that's the only place I inject oil now.
Hardly ever any pip, and even when there is, it doesn't affect leg training.

Long head of the triceps, rear delts, and upper/mid glutes (where your posing trunks can cover) are IMO, the best places as you get nearer to the show.

You could also stop all injects 10 days out or so, and cruise in on orals. I've just not gotten as good a look on stage day using orals only, so I'll typically add the injects morning of, before second coat of tanner.

Best spot to inject water based peptides is upper, inner adductors. Sounds crazy, but you don't want scar tissue in visible places!

Long head of tris is a brutal spot for me for some reason.

I watched @ChaseIrons injecting videos and it was very useful.... Never injected Tris like he does and works great

It's a good spot indeed. PIP is definitely almost unnoticeable even with the least "friendly" injectables.

Thank you for this. Just started watching his video and I’m already dying at his intro lol
Always looking for someone new to follow on YouTube

Do you pin rear delts yourself? I’ve heard of guys injecting in their rear delts solo but seems impossible. I might just be extremely immobile though.

Yea I do it myself. I’m not particularly mobile lol, especially at 300 lbs. in the offseason. I do have long arms, and it’s easier in prep.

Lack of trunk rotation might be more limiting than shoulder mobility. I end up kind of doing diaphragmatic breathing drills while I pin, lol. Get some more rotation on the exhale, hold that position, breathe steady and pin.

I’m gonna give it a try.

When I do rear delts at 270+ they key components are trunk rotation and pushing one arm into place. My shoulders and chest make it hard to each

Take the rear delt you're going to pin and reach that arm as far around the front of your body as you can. Then use the hand of that arm to push the elbow of your other arm so that arm's hand can reach the targeted rear delt. Hold in place and inject.

Got it thanks brother. I actually just tried, as I inject tren ace daily. It’s definitely going to take some getting used to. I didn’t think to go from the top of the rear delt vertically. For some reason I was stuck on the idea that it had to be injected from the rear, horizontally.

Slight tangent but is tren the only thing you’re pinning daily? If so I’d use a slin pin, wherever you’re putting it. I’ve found I never get tren cough when the needle is that small, probably because it’s less likely to nick a blood vessel. And there’s less scar tissue buildup.

I’m just doing everything daily through a 25# right now, but in the past I’ve just done long esters 3x or eod in a normal pin and tren daily in a slin pin.

Yeah, tren ace is the only oil I’m injecting daily. My protocol is identical to your previous schedule. I inject sustanon, masteron e, and primo e MWF with a 25g and I inject tren ace daily with a 31g

WOW i do something similar....

Sust + EQ MWF, Tren A daily too

The only thing that goes to glutes is Sust + EQ
TrenA lat delts, biceps, triceps, back delts, upper legs but for 0,5-1ml it's easy the problem is if you want to inject 3mls

Dude I love this, I think I’m gonna start rotating sites for my daily injections, I’m gonna try lats biceps and triceps this week

Ahahaha. That's hilarious. I mean I'm sure it works but it's just funny that this is what needs to be done to self-inject rear delts.

I appreciate you all commenting on how you reach rear delts though as it always seems to be a challenge for me

 

[Gunsmith]

Use long esters , they are generaly higher dosed per ml so less volume is needed and you can cut your injections 7-10 days out from stage without worrying of big blood level drop , orals will help that as well.

Split your dose and inject bilaterally to everything is even and train the muscle you inject after (pin delts , go train delts) to help disapate the oil.
Warming your gear to near body temperature helps as well

That was my favorite spot...and having someone hit my rear delts

 

[johnjuanb1]

If you inject deep into the glute it will push the muscle outward increasing the visibility of glute striations. Avoid low depth injections. 1/2” depth that knots up will be seen. 1 1/2” depth won’t be visible unless you have an adverse reaction to the Product.

Admittedly, I only started using this spot two years ago. This and ventroglute are my faves when using highly concentated oils that would be uncomfortable anywhere else.
