Dave Palumbo on quad shots

[Dirtnasty]

Don’t hate on us squiggly veined people

 

[Dirtnasty]

It’s varicose veins most the time they are fine but they can become an issue medically Vericose Vein Basics and Causes

 

[Ripgut]

I never really had none until I started doing quad shots. I guess that’s another issue I’m trying to point out here in the topic…

 

[Dirtnasty]

I only have one and it leads to pot of gold or it’s an eczema patch haha. Had it for years none since quad shots

Am I the only one pinning traps? Traps for me is one of those spots I never have issues with. Only thing I’ve ever felt is the oil pulsing in. For me it’s glutes, delts, lats, and traps. Traps being the easiest for me.

 

[Poppy]

only one pinning traps

That’s on my list of things to do…

 

[Ripgut]

I have done traps…

 

[Mossy1985]

You’ll love it. I just reach across and pin. Just like with lats.

 

[Mossy1985]

What you think about traps?

 

[Ripgut]

I’ve had one bad pin… thing I hit a vein… damn thing bruised up instantly… For me it’s a pain in the ass… but pip ain’t bad…

 

[Rusty]

Never even thought of that. Is there a specific place on traps?

 

[Rusty]

I probably inject quads more then anything else. Rule of thumb I use is imaging putting your hands in your pockets and pick a spot around the tip of the middle finger. My spot is about three inches diameter. Don’t remember where I learned that but I think it was from someone on here

 

[Mossy1985]

That was a tip from @TBU when I pin traps I pull my shoulders up. Pick the peak and that’s where I pin. I just reach across with the opposite arm. I recommend not using the side your pinning to support the arm you’re pinning with. I tried to use my arm to support my pinning hand and it caused my trap to flex which will actually push the pin out.

 

[Ripgut]

What size pin are you using for the lats

 

[Dirtnasty]

Do you go I. Front of trap

 

[Dirtnasty]

That’s what they show people for hormone therepey when they transition. Is there something you need to tell us hahaba

 

[Mossy1985]

I use 25g×5/8" for everything except for glutes. @Dirtnasty I guess it’s more towards my back. I know when I squat the bar sits near where I pin.

 

[Dirtnasty]

I can’t reach that part and try and pin haha

 

[Mossy1985]

Yeah. It’s kind of tough at first just reaching right which is how I figured out not to use the other arm to help.

 

[TBU]

Hand in pocket. Area of palm is pinning point. Check for surface veins. Mark a spot. Sit down no weight on leg, pin. I use 25 1” needles in quads. Never had an issue. Ever. But I’m built different.
