may i ask how many mg/wk your pinning? What would you do in my case when right now about 375mg/wk is working fine with little to no side effects, and not using any AI… ?
Well right now I’m cruising, so 50 mg EOD. When I’ve blasted I’ve gone to 650 mg/wk. I’m using test E. I like pinning the lats these days. Delts with for me too, but occasionally I get some pip there.
I’m a little gun shy about pinning the lats at this point. Last time I did, I pulled my teres major on the same side and it had me fucked up for a while. That was also shortly before I tore my bicep. All on the left side.
I am not saying that tight lats caused the bicep issue, but I don’t think it is coincidence that it is all on the same side and within a couple of weeks of each other. I suppose I just need to make sure to stretch if I get tight from pinning a muscle group
How long of a needle are you using. I haven’t gotten PIP even once in the last 2 months or so of doing lats, no tightness. I am only using a 1/2" needle though.
Maybe my lats are less sensitive or something. I have heard some spots are good for some, but not so good for others. Other than the needle going though the skin, I have no pain from lats. Quads occasionally crippled me, but others pin quads with very little issues.
Yea I don’t recall it being any more painful there than anywhere else, I think I just didn’t take proper care of the muscle and let it tighten up on me without stretching before working out. I’m getting tired of pinning delts only, so I think lats will make a comeback into the rotation really soon
