For me right in the middle...not the front or the back.

I do both front and back. sides are full of scar tissue. and yeah i hit blood about a third of the time also. but hell I'm running out of fresh meat.

I also inject the front delts. I use a 1/2" insulin pin, and get great growth. I have yet to hit a vein, knock on wood!

BTW, be careful with the longer needles, as there are many MAJOR nerves and vessels that lay on its underside!

yeah, theres also tendons there that you could hit. Just be careful injecting there.

If you inject right into the center of the muscle, tendons should not be a worry; however, the closer you move toward the clavicle, the more risk to injecting the deltoid tendon (still, though, it is SO small, you shouldn't have to worry about this.

front and back have lots of bloodvessels going through them... especially the front ones... way to dangerous if u ask me.... i'd stick with the middle ones...
i personally love them... my favorite spot... i used 22g 1.5 on them before.. now i use 23g 1.5 and i love it.. no problems whatsoever.. even when i push the needle all the way in.
never seen a drop of blood there yet...

I have started doing delt injections only with 1/2" insulin pins. Works great! Lower risk

I've been using 5/8 25 guage pins for front and back. and hell I think there is more blood in the rear delts. at least with the front delts you can see all the surface veins. But still I love injecting rear delts, literally no pain at all if you can avoid blood. front delts hurt more for me, but I still use them once a week.

i hardly ever hit a vein but everyone i differnt. i use a insulin needle or a 25 g 1in and i get great results mybe you are not going deep enough or u just have bad luck
