Doesn't matter either way bro. Bent would be better...your quad isn't contracting. Just relax...thats the most important thing..........456

Everytime I've shot in the quad I've had it bent. Most of the time It has hurt and been a pain for a few days afterward. But occasionally I've found the right spot and not had any pain at all.

The quads can be a little tricky some times. Its best to make sure the muscle is relaxed before the injection. Bending the leg will relax the quads. Dont rush the shot, and make sure you aspirate before the initial injection.

I prefer straight leg.  I sit on the toilet and prop my leg up on the bathtub, resting my heel on the side.  If I'm shooting my right quad, I grab my quad with my left hand and sort of pinch it, pulling a handfull of thigh up.  Then with my right hand I stick the needle in the side of the quad where I pulled it up.  I don't go in from the top.  It sounds strange, but I found this way to cause the least discomfort, which is tough to find when you have scar tissue in your thighs like I do

i like resting my leg on something so it is straight and the muscle is totally relaxed.  i find it helps lessen the pain to 1 day afterwards if there is any at all

I'm not sure why u guys get pain from injecting quads and I don't. quads don't bother me any more then if I was injecting in another muscle.I find different types of juice can be more painful, but it makes no diff where I inject <.  oh ya as long as the quad is relaxed it dosn't matter what position it's in.

I do mine straight with the quad relaxed.

Straight...done both and had more issues with pain afterward on the bent.  I sit on the toilet and let my leg lean against the wall for support.

quads are my favorite shot.  I do it with a bend leg.  I just sit on the edge of my bed with my feet flat on the floor.  No pain during or afterwards.  Can't stand glute injections.  they are the worst.

If you think about it though..bent is a much more natural position. You don't walk,sleep,sit or manuver in any other way with your legs straight..so why shoot straight? BTW if you walk straight legged I bet you look goofy as fuck....lol!
