I hit concrete in my quads

[Tiny]

I keep trying to add quads into rotation, but am only successful about 50% of the time. Often the pin goes in about 1/4" and stops, I have to jam it in and it hurts like hell.

It's not scar tissue, as I have only used the spot minimally.

Anybody else feel like they're pushing through concrete ?

Nope... I put 2.5 cc's into my quad yesterday & it went in like butter. Be sure to hit that outer sweep... very, very important when injecting quads.

U hitting the outter side of the quad

I hit quads twice per week easy. Outer side of the quad half way between the knee and hip joint. Try a hot shower and a quick foam roll on the area right before. Then swab and dart. I also jab that bitch in like it's an Epi-pen!

I place my hand on my thigh with the tips of my fingers on top of the knee cap and roll towards the outer thigh this seems like a perfect distance onto the quad also I put my leg up on a chair or ottoman to get the quad relaxed.
Done 22x1 1/2's in there for years.

No, definitely not. You hitting the right spot?

 

[IronInsanity]

Never had that experience. Like others have said, where exactly are you hitting? What size needle?

I don't mean to be out of line here but is the pic genuine or the name have any meaning. It could be bone? I mean there's no concrete in there? steel rods? metal plates?

I hit the outer side, just above the halfway point of the knee to hip. I have tried moving it up/down a bit with the same results. Similar as shown in the pics here.

I have tried sitting, standing, laying, leg up, after work out, after shower, (making sure the muscle is relaxed) all with the same result. I use a 25g x 1

Ehh, maybe it's just me, my legs/hams have always been super dense/tight, perhaps that's the issue. I will try foam rolling next time, only thing I haven't tried.

Lol. Pic is of the worlds smallest bodybuilder. I think he's dead now though.

My quads are my bread and butter, rotating spots on them, but if yours don't work for you then stick with what does, and ocasionally come back and give them a try again.
