Pins are normal at this point. You can be running a totally reasonable setup on paper and still make every injection suck just by trying to cram too much oil into one spot because you didn’t feel like splitting it up.
There’s this mindset that fewer injections somehow equals being more hardcore. In reality, the people who last the longest are the ones who keep injections boring. No drama, no limping around, no avoiding certain lifts
because a pin went sideways.
Different sites handle different amounts, and your body will tell you pretty quickly when you overdo it. That tight, sore, deep ache the next day isn’t random. It’s just oil sitting where it doesn’t want to be. Delts especially are unforgiving if you get greedy with volume.
Concentration plays a role too. Higher mg/ml sounds convenient, but thicker oil can mean more irritation. Sometimes splitting a dose or pinning a little more often makes everything feel way smoother overall. Less irritation, less scar tissue, and way less mental friction around pinning.
Daily or EOD injections aren’t just about stable levels they make life easier. Smaller amounts per pin, easier site rotation, and you’re not constantly thinking about where you can or can’t inject next. Pins stop being a thing you dread and just become part of the routine, like meals or cardio.
At the end of the day, injections shouldn’t feel like a test of toughness. If every pin feels sketchy or painful, something needs adjusting. Smooth pins mean better consistency, and consistency is where the real progress comes from.
What injection volume keeps things smooth for you? Which site made you realize trying to push too much oil in one shot wasn’t worth it?
