I was wondering if anyone has experience injecting their lats? I'm thinking about trying them out for new sites and I've heard people do it but it has a lot of nerves. Also how deep an you go? Scared to go through them

Thanks guys happy new year!

Not sure how you'd be able to inject your lats while keeping them relaxed...

Lats are one of my favorite spots. I have never hit a vein or nerve. Just rest your arm on your head and hit it. Lats are a huge muscle so go deep.

I'd need to see video. Seems like it would be difficult to reach around & inject.

If you're worried about going through, you probably shouldn't be using gear. That or you somehow got 3" harpoons.

Thanks for the info guys! Actually my lats and delts are my strongest body parts I'm just skeptical about poking them. DF I tried to find a vid but couldn't???? If you have someone inject you would you go directly from the back or come from the side still?

I was 290lbs at my biggest and I could do it. I needed help getting my jacket off but I could pin lats myself. Put the pin between your fingers like a cigar and stick it in then use your index finger to push the plunger...

You must have longer arms than me because there is no way I can reach mine that way.

I way 225 right now.

Ok, I see how it can be done now. It still doesn't look easy. How many cc's do you pin there?

Also here's the only vid I could find. Dammit! I didn't notice the AD...grrrr I took the vid down

Just search lat injection in You Tube.

Yeah that's it but he was a puss. Push the pin ALL the way in then use your finger to push the plunger. 3cc easy...

Help me to understand why the **** someone would want to shoot in the lats?
Unless you have been shooting a thousand times in the leg and ass and have too much scaring why?

Because it fits a lot of oil unlike chest and delts and not everyone shoots their quads. It's preference lol

Because you should have 14 days between injections per site so when pinning everyday, lats, delts, pecs, tri's, glutes, v glutes and quads is what you use. Guys wonder why they get abscess and scar tissue when they pin the same places over and over...

I guess that makes sense. Glad I don't need to do it.

I added lats in rotation a few cycles back and haven't hit a nerve or vein yet. They will take a lot of oil. It was a little akward at first but just like anything practice makes it easier.
