The first shot is the hardest. I remember how enormous that 22gauge 1 and 1/2 inch pin looked the first time I had to stick myself. Hell, it look like a spear. They get easier, you will come to LOVE them. Some of us even do daily sticks.

Enjoy your journey. It will be quite an experience.

Demon,

I hope it won't be so bad when I pin Monday in the glutes. I'll wait for for the 1", 25's for the quads. I must admit, pinning in the quads just seems easier. You don't have to be a contortionist!!!

Over the years, I have advanced to doing bi and tri shots almost exclusively. You are right, the 25g 1 inch pin is much less menacing looking.

Ok guys, did pin number 2 today....but in the glutes this time!! No problem at all. Slid in like butter and there was no pain whatsoever. I aspirated and injected very slowly. I wish I had done my first shot there!! My quad is still aching a bit, but it's getting better. It's amazing the reaction my quad had to the first pin. I suppose that dagger I used had something to do with it!! Looking forward to my chest and tri workout later today!!

Hey Scoob.....Congrats Bro, your on your way man, things will come much easier the more frequent you inject, and when the gains start, you will be looking forward to those sticks......congrats again
