Peptides 102: The Pinning Guide
Peptides 102: The Pinning Guide
By Dr. Brandon Vaughn, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS
The most practical, detailed peptide injection guide on the internet—hands down.
If you're reading this, you probably already know what peptides do.
But here’s what most people still screw up:
- Reconstitution ratios
- Injection technique
- Site rotation
- Preventing lumps
- Calculating how many vials you actually need
This is the stuff I get asked every single day through DMs, consults, email, TikTok, and YouTube. And it’s exactly why I created Peptides 102: The Pinning Guide.
What’s Inside:
✅ What supplies you actually need (with photos and links)
✅ BAC vs. acetic acid – what to use and when
✅ How to reconstitute your vials step-by-step
✅ Where and how to inject (systemic, local, and superficial)
✅ How to rotate sites and avoid nodules or scar tissue
✅ Best practices for mixing multiple peptides
✅ Storage & shelf-life breakdowns
✅ Real-world protocols, calculator links, and visual aids
✅ Advanced FAQ based on actual user questions
Why This Guide?
Because nobody else is breaking it down this clearly.
This isn’t just a high-level overview—it’s a tactical, step-by-step resource built from:
- Hundreds of DMs and emails I’ve answered
- Dozens of Instagram carousels and reels
- Long-form YouTube tutorials
- My own personal protocols and consult notes
This isn’t theory. This is exactly how to do it.
Who It’s For:
- Beginners ready to go from “watching” to doing
- Intermediate users unsure about technique or storage
- Anyone who’s wasted peptides due to poor prep or bad advice
