So what are the tricks, tips to limit soreness from pin? Injections are smooth and painless. I inject slowly so no pain. My glute is sore for a week though! I do Sunday/Wednesday night and alternate sides.

It's Deca and Test E. I keep steady as possible and inject slowly. I'll heat it up next time and maybe my glute too haha. I just don't remember it being sore like this in the past.
Be sure that you're pinning the upper and outer quadrant of your glute. Heat the oil, keep a steady hand with zero movement while the pin is inserted, push the plunger slow and steady, and use a heatpad on it afterwards. Virgin muscle and technique both play a role, but imo technique plays the biggest role. Also taking some motrin will help with the pip.
I do upper outer quadrant. I'm sure there's some movement though because I do inject slowly. Hard not to move.
I do better with my non dominant hand if you can believe that haha.
What are the concentrations of the deca and test?
They're both 300mg per ml. I do one ml of test, and half of one ml Deca. Twice a week.
It's all in my cycle in that section. I received great help from everyone.
I'll do the same eventually.
Being sore for a week after pin can be due to several different things. If this is first cycle, and only few weeks into it you may simply having virgin muscle soreness....it will adapt at some point and go away.
I have had testE300 hurt for several days before as well, so it could be the specific labs percentages, or carrier oil used. Pinning technique can have an effect, but it sounds like you are in the right spot and shaking while pinning doesnt typically leave weeklong pain. My guess is the carrier oil is absorbing faster than the hormone at the depot causing crystals being left behind. This is common, and treatable with heat, ibuprofen. If it gets too bad, you could always cut the shot with sterile grapeseed oil, but I doubt this is needed with your dosages.
Take note of your injection technique and improve if you need to.
Thank you
Just a thought but also make sure your glute is loose, as in not flexed when pinning. A good rub down of the injection site afterwards seems to help too. Im pinning same gear at test e 800mgs a week and deca at 600mgs a week monday and Thursday. No soreness here but Im also lucky enough to not have to do it myself. (Thank god)
Not reusing pins are ya????
No way. I even swap pins after drawing. Pretty sure I'm just moving around too much as Dolf stated.
Good deal. I feel ya on moving around to much. I do good to hold still when my wife does it for me. But I think its due this crazy ass look in her eyes when she does. And not sure why she's always holding it like a butcher knife.........she's the best
You'll get that technique down. Just think you get to practice it twice a week ha
I'm a novice (so take this for what it's worth) and was also having pretty intense pain in the area for a few days after I pin my quad. For me I've started rolling a barbell over my pin location (called a quad smash) 2x on the day I pin and have minimal pain now. Maybe jump on a lacrosse ball or foam roller after pinning for the glute.
