    Needle Size

    What injection site (if any ) would be acceptable to use a 25g, 5/8 inch needle? Thanks!

    I have a nurse friend who I kinda asked in passing if she could slip me any syringes. To my surprise she gave me a huge box of 150 sterilized syringes at 25g and 5/8 inch, so I just wanted to make sure that would be good enough seein' as how I have only used 1 1/2 in the past.....but you can';t beat free! Thanks for the response.

    I've used 5/8" for hundreds of shots in all locations. You'll be fine as long as you're fairly lean. Much fat though and you'll have to be more careful.

    25g 5/8" is my favorite size pin. I use them for bi's, tri's, delts, traps, pecs, and even quads.

    Holy **** 23g 1" in your quads and delts? and 1.5" for glutes? Dam you must have lots of fat over your muscles...thats insane..are you trying to hit your bone? lol 1" is enough for glutes and 5/8 is enough for delts and quads..

    thats the norm for delts and glutes, ive heard of people using 1" for glutes but i would never use it. the idea is to get deep into the muscle
