don't be scared.. unless you have chicken legs you won't have any problems.

I use 1 1/2" for my legs and calfs. all the way in.

that's just me

**WS6_KID** · 11-06-2004, 12:36 PM

C'mon man up! I use 23 guage 1 1/2 for glute and quad injects. Some even use 21 guage 1 1/2. It wont be bad at all.....if you like pain! J/k LOL

**powerlifter** · 11-06-2004, 12:39 PM

Man up Bro - or don't push it all the way in ( if you hit bone you have went too far ) LOL J/K Bro

Once the skin is pierced, the pain doesn't "really" increase with the depth of the needle because there aren't as many nerve endings in the muscle. Just go with the 1 1/2in.

1in will work most other inject sites, but the glutes have too much fat which needs to be pierced first, before the need even begins piercing the muscle. Injecting to shallow may increase the risk of developing an abcess becasue there isn't enough muscle to absorb the oil. The body will then fight off the lingering oil as if it were an infection. That is how it has been explained to me anyways.

I use 21 1 1/2 every single day. Try that for a year. It only hurts for a few seconds.

**FRANk THe TANk** · 11-06-2004, 01:03 PM

I remember shooting an 18g harpoon once in my glutes...Never again will I use anything larger than a 22g.

Btw, just make sure you are getting the sharp inside of the muscle and not in other tissue...it's really easy in some sites to think you got in, but actually missed. Be mindful, and don't worry about the 1.5...a more versatile pin if you ask me.

**GetinBig** · 11-06-2004, 01:16 PM

Just jab that thing in ya.. It won't hurt. LOL

You will be fine bro.. Get er done..

so I wonder if this would go with my theory of no pain in inection site = drug is now gone out of system?

**1-Cent** · 11-06-2004, 01:45 PM

Get a 1" then, I use 23g 1" for every site including glutes and never had an issue

**workdude** · 11-06-2004, 01:50 PM

I use 23g 1.5". Just do it and get it over with. You'll get used to it!

**Dimes** · 11-06-2004, 01:58 PM

25 1" 1/2 , you will not hardly feel it go in and after it goes in, then you dont have to worry about anything, just cuz it goes deeper doesnt mean that it hurts more, same thing.

**Susguy** · 11-06-2004, 02:19 PM

i use 23g 1 1/2 on glutes, you will only feel anything once the needle touches your skin, after that you dont feel anything atall.. dont worry bro i used to be scared of needles just like you but now i am actually looking forward to shot days..

**6plates** · 11-06-2004, 02:22 PM

hah, i remember using a 1 1/2 inch for a delt shot once, bad idea, i hit the bone and boy was that an odd feeling.

**Stumbo** · 11-06-2004, 03:55 PM

If you can hit the bone with a 1.5" on your quades or gluets, you arnt ready for AS.

Unless you are a powlifting midget or somthing.

**youknowme** · 11-06-2004, 05:35 PM

22g 1.5" in glutes, 25g 1" for the rest...I'm sure to push it in aaaaaaaaaaaaall the way

**jaffry20** · 11-06-2004, 05:50 PM

22G 1'1/2 for EVERYTHING

, never tried anything else don't wanna either.

I'd recommend 25g or atleast 23g for everything besides your glutes. You'll get less scar tissue and it's actually a more pleseant experiance, lol!

Nice, have to try it out, don't no much about needles, does 25g mean the diameter of the needle is smaller?

**youknowme** · 11-06-2004, 06:17 PM

yup---25g 1" =0.5mmX25mm, 22g 1.5" =0.7mmX40mm

**jaffry20** · 11-06-2004, 06:19 PM

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, so it's not gonna hurt as much, even though i didn't mind the pain, i like i like, thanks bro

Unnecessary, 1 25 guage inch is just fine in glute... I did the 1.5 inch needle and found it made it hurt more to go in deeper because you puncture more muscle tissue.

**BigTen35** · 11-06-2004, 07:02 PM

just be a man and jam it in bro, i had the same problem my first shot, but once it goes in you can hardly feel it, wont even know its in there, i usually have my girlfriend or one of my boys prick me, its easier for me that way

**ArkansasAlex** · 11-06-2004, 07:16 PM

I use the 22g 1 1/2 on my glutes and quads (and sometimes on delts with the sus) but a 25g 1inch everywhere else, because i have to inject every day with my prop, but its not that bad, had a couple of sore ones, but once I got used to the prop, I kinda like the way it feels while its going into the muscle, kinda hot, but anywho, there is my 2cents

All depends on your physical condition. If you are pretty lean you can use a 1" pin. I do... Just make sure you have something bigger to draw with, 25g will take you all day to pull 1ml up... Good luck.

Yea bro. I use a 20g to draw from the vial and 25g for the injections on my quads, bi, tri, etc. 1 1/2 in isn't that long if you have a butt and some fat. Trust me, u'd be surprised how much fat covers your glutes... (I have a bubble butt, that's what others call it...)

**mitch428cj** · 11-06-2004, 09:01 PM

Once you get the tip in bro it basically glides right through the muscle like butter , you wont even feel pain , unless you reuse the needle then your in for some

**ChefJ** · 11-06-2004, 10:42 PM

You should not put it in all of the way you need to leave about an eighth of an inch to a quarter of an inch out in case the needle brakes off.

**mitch428cj** · 11-06-2004, 10:51 PM

you should leave some out just incase that happens but not that much more like a millimeter or so and keep the skin stretched

**MotoLifter** · 11-07-2004, 01:03 AM

shut up and do it.

**angelxterminator** · 11-07-2004, 08:08 AM

yea i use 21-22 gauge 1 1/2" for almost everything. Calfs, quads, glutes, etc. The only time i use a smaller one is a 25ga 1" for delts, biceps, etc.
I used a 18gauge 1 1/2" once, and wow, just wow. I felt like i was getting my quad pierced and a barbell put it, it was almost the size of my tongue ring!

**v-force700** · 11-07-2004, 08:20 AM

I use 25ga 1" everywhere. If you Have a fat a** I would go with 1 1/2".
...V

**FRANk THe TANk** · 11-07-2004, 02:51 PM

**** alot of people rang in on this thanks guys i ordered my 25g 1inchs

**nsa** · 11-07-2004, 03:06 PM

I have about a hundred syringes, but they are all 21 gauge, 1 inch, 3 cc's terumo's. Not too bad upon injection, but the prop im injecting is killing me the nest day.

**KINGRANCH** · 11-07-2004, 05:51 PM

are u kidding me, u guys are big buff juice heads and ur really talking about needles and how painful they are please i use 22g 2" everyday where is the pain at , and for u guys doing 1inchers in ur ass ur a joke step it up and lets put that costly oil in ur muscle and stop wasting it , that is not getting in ur muscle with a one inch needle at all .

I used a 23ga., 1 1/2 inch for my first injection yesterday. I went in about 1 1/4". I saw the pin when I first got them and thought the say as you "NO FRIGGIN" WAY". Well I did it and it felt **** good too!! I liked it and have a feeling I'll get addicted to it! Can't wait for my Test E to kick in!!!
