how to pin the best injection spot -> VG

[Nutpuncher]

[MENTION=936]Kins[/MENTION] has been asking me how to pin VG. This is how I do it. I sit on a chair and wiggle my foot without lifting off ground. It doesn't take much to see your VG.

For example, this is how I do it. Lets do right VG.
(a) sit firmly on a chair
(b) put your left hand on
(b) slightly wiggle your right foot to the right. It doesn't take much to expose your right VG. Once you move your right foot to the right, you will fill your VG.
(c) draw a circle
(d) make sure you're not hitting any veins
(e) I use 29g 1/2 slin pin (for all pins)

you can also stand up by leaning left and right while putting your hand in area. You will fill VG. Circle it.

VG is my favorite interjection site.. no pain, no PIP, (but depends on source)

Anybody have any suggestions? If so, please suggest your technique.

Thanks NP!. I'll let you know when I try this.

Ok after something like 2 hours looking at more videos and going over descriptions I just said screw it and did my left quad instead. I just don't have any patience to find such a tiny spot somewhere beneath my hip bone. I'm sure it's there but it's a guessing game trying to find a quarter size spot and hit it with needle. Kind of pissed off and frustrated at the moment. So many guys say it's such an easy spot, but I'm gonna have to disagree. If I'm stabbing myself and have to stab a certain spot, that spot has to be really big and blatantly obvious. Otherwise it's nothing more than a guessing game of "pin" te tail on the donkey.

Ok I guess no one else actually pins VG.

I pin the vg all the time.The way I do it is lay down on my side and roll my leg and it pops right up.Very easy to see it

I also use a 23ga 1 inch needle

I don't know about that. I tried that. Either I'm blind or just have very little muscle development in that area.

Thats another great method.

My tried and true method is simply to stand in front of the mirror, and then shift my weight onto the foot on the same side where I want to pin. My ventro glute noticeably pops right out and protrudes to the side. Next I just need to jab in the hunk of muscle that's blatantly there, and then I'm g2g.

My favorite spot bar none.

By "roll my leg" do you mean raise it to your chest?. What does this area look like?.

 

[Kins]

When I pin my "quad" I pin at the top of the leg parallel with the groin area, so if I go parallel with that injection spot and back a little more to side of my leg I can feel a muscle....Is that the VG?.

Think of it as the oblique of your glute.

Well not so much roll your leg but more your ankle.Leave your leg lay flat

I made this video a while back because I know it can be confusing trying to locate your ventro glute just from some pictures and charts. I figured id make it a sticky here to help those in need.

Thanks X!. That helps a lot. Although I can't see the muscle when I flex it. I can feel it though.

This is actually how I learned lol.. Now its my favorite spot! Good info Mr X

 

[Kins]

It's just very difficult to stab yourself in that spot. It's really not obvious like other spots and it seems very easy to screw up. One thing I hadn't heard or read was that you can use 1.5 inch instead of 1 inch. I hadn't read or heard that until watching the video X posted.

glute area all day lol! I never have any pip or bad shots there (knocks on wood)

 

[Kins]

Anyone else?

The muscle and area you can pin is much bigger than a quarter. Take a look at the vid from bobber. I pinned after watching his video no problem. Easily the spot I use the most. No PIP or pain every time. It was the one spot where after working over the anxiety of actually doing it I regretted no using it earlier.
