    5/8 for delt injections?

    I read on spot injections that 5/8 needles are good for delt and other arm injections. Do you thinks thats true? I injected with 5/8 this morning everything was fine no bump after. The needle looked small though so I wanted to make sure 5/8 is long enough to get into the muscle. Please give me your opinion, Thanx

    5/8 is good if you are lean. i just dont like to shoot more then 1cc with 5/8. if you are going to shoot 2 or 3 make sure you use 1in

    I just got a bunch of 5/8 but they look so small. the last delt injection I used 1in and it felt fine. I think i might just go with 1in just to be sure. I am 10% bf so I am pretty lean, If I raise my arm you can see the delt ripples.

    imo

    IMO, no one should be using larger than a 23G-25G needles unless:
    1) compound is to thick for small pin size
    2) you really like scar tissue

    It makes no sense, keep it simple guys. I have done 3 cycles with test prop ED injects.....never had a prob with scar tissue.

    Not sure who gets credit for this, someone here...

    In case anyone is interested:

    I remember reading a quick tip here on the forum,
    if u need a short pin, U can always use a long one
    trim the pin cap,exposing the amount of pin needed.
    Just cap & Instant depth guage. Assorted lengths are possible....

    5/8..bam 5/8, 3/4....sounded useful to me
