Well, after an injection I used to rub the area around to get the oil to disperse and more times than not, I would get sore. So, just to see what happens, I quit doing that two weeks ago and it's 10 times better.
My theory is that when you rub the injected oil around you cause more micro trauma to the facia than if you don't do anything at all. So far, this theory has stood true. Even with the biceps, I get no probs.
However, I did find one thing about this to be very interesting, be caustious of the site you inject and the day you are going to train it. I shot in the biceps and trained them withint 24 hours and after my workout, the lower portion of my bicep was not as pumped as the upper. I also noticed this in the delts and calves too. I'm 'assuming' that the oil needs at least two days to get out of the facia so that the blood can flow evenly through the entire muscle. If you think about it, it makes sense. Your biceps facia goes from your shoulder joint to your elbow joint (well, inbetween the tendon that attaches to those two joints) and if you put oil in the middle of that facia, hows the blood going to reach the other end.
Like I said, it's just a theory and I have nothing to back it up with other than when I train a muscle within 24 hours of hitting that muscle, I get uneven pumps when I workout. So, I can only assume the oil is having something to do with that. From now on, I won't hit any muscle that I'm going to train within the next 24 hours other than glutes. I could care less hoe my glutes looked pumped, they are always in shorts or pants, but when your bicep looks half pumped, I'm telling you, it's a weird looking thing. I know it's not scar tissue because the next time I hit them, they pumped up just fine.
