    Question used wrong pin on glutes

    I have been using a 1" 23g pin on my glutes for the past 3 weeks because i thought the 1 1/2" was waaay too big. i just stopped hitting glutes and im using 1" pins in my other muscle groups now. will i suffer any consequences for not using a long enough needle?
    what im tryin to say is what happens if you use too short of a needle, it doesn't hit the muscle? i mean when i flex my glute i can tell that a 1" is definetly going in fairly deep into it.
    is it possible that the last 3 weeks of injections were a waste?

    its possible but I know lots of people that have used 1" on glutes as well. Me being one of them. Depends on how fat your ass is I guess. I doubt that your last 3 weeks was a waste

    Only in the sense of making sure you got in there. I believe if you're in the muscle than you're all set. At the worst maybe it didn't absorb the absolute best that it could have but I don't think so.

    your fine bro. even if it didn't get deep enough into the muscle it'll still absorb well, just not as quickly. remembert the deeper you go into the muscle, the quicker its absorbed. but no you haven't wasted your gear or anything
