    needle only half way in...

    Hi guys, currently in cycle of test ent at 500mg a week split in two days. Monday and thursday. I was wondering, i noticed that I seldom drive the needle in the whole way often its only half in...No i understand that its important to go in deep in the muscel to maximum absortion. But people have different size of muscels. i dont have a big ass, so is it essential still that i drive the needle all the way...have a lost the stuff ive already injected? Was it all a waste when you dont o in deep enough...is it maybe ever dangerous? please guys...

    if you are using a 1" needle you should go all the way in your glute but a 1.5" needle you dont have to go all the way in unless you have extra fat.

    the correct method is to go all the way in but as long as you cant feel a lump close to the surface after it should be ok however you must be aware of the risk of abceses

    like cysts lumps at the injection site (or near) where the fluid hasnt been able to be absorbed an rots forming a hard lump that most of the time has to be removed by surgery

    im no doctor but thats the bottom line

    If you have a small ass and are very skinny...maybe 145lbs...then yes...it is OK to use a 1" pin.

    I give injections daily to patients where I work, and 90% of the time we use 1 inch pinz for injections in the shoulders, depending on the meds being administered. for gear, I would think that you would want to be sure to get it deep in the muscle to insure proper absorption.

    Absolutely, a big reason for abscesses is not driving the needle deep enough into the muscle. If u administer a shallow injection, the majority of hte oil will be absorbed in the fat which can easily form an abscess. Oil is more easily assimilated into muscle than fat. One inch pins must be driven deep into the muscle, 1 1/2 pins u dont have to drive all the way.

    i never push it all the way in, have you ever seen a needle break off inside anyone? if its at least a little out you can pull it out if it breaks off, if its all the way in you may have to have surgery to have it removed. but i always use 1.5

    That's me, I was actually in the middle of a bulking cycle when I had to go to a photo shoot. Usually I get a bit leaner, but with only one week I didnt have much time. I went on a low fat low-no carb diet, not very healthy. I was on 100mg Prop ed and 600mg of test E ew, had to cut out the dbol to lose some bloat. Also took some l-dex to get rid of water retention. Basic meals were, eggs, chicken, fish, some steak, veggies, small amounts of fruit. Also, cardio 6days a week. Hope this helps.

    I didnt lose muscle as I only did this for about a week, then went back to bulking, I ended up at 225lbs after the cycle. So...a little over 30lbs heavier than what the pic shows.

    Also, back to the needle question...of course always leave a little bit of it sticking out so that you can pull it out if it breaks.

    well if you havnt injected many times, some people will jerk accidently, or you could have a faulty needle, or when loading it you might crack the base of the needle and not know it and when you inject if breaks off completely.

    You dont want to push your gear into your muscle with the pin sticking half way out. Thats a good way to hit a vein. If you dont have the needle pushed all the way in you will have to watch needle depth after you aspirate to make sure when you push on the plunger you dont push the needle farther into a vein. I like the Idea of dimpling the skin with the rig before aspirating

    LOL

    If youve ever actually tried to break a needle off, youll see they dont break they bend.





    Ive always used 1" on glutes. Ive used 5/8" for arms, delts, and quads as well, but usually 1"

    yeh thanks for the tips, do you know of a table of some sort where your height weight bodyfat determines the grams of fat carbs and protien you eat, i really dont want to lose any muscle while cutting.

    hmm i was asking on tips and advice for the needle injection part actually, i know i'm supposed to eat and not use AS now, and i'm not. if you'd actually seen an earlier post, i asked about steroid use at younger ages and it deterred me from doing so. so yeah, tips and advice on the needle part if you're thinner?

    billy, how heavy are you? and height? maybe if you're around my weight then i could safely use 1" (in future, FIVE YEARS.. lol) in my glutes
