I use 1" for everything. But I have little body fat. If you have a lot of bodyfat then you may want to go 1.5" for the glutes

Agreed......... also if you think you are lean enough to use 1" still do not use them for glutes.

I think if your bodyfat is under 10% then 1inch should be fine.

dudes i have a skinny ass my concern was that the 1 inch wouldnt reach deep in to the muscle tissue

**FinaGuy** · 05-09-2005, 07:32 PM

JMO but i think youll be fine and deff into the muscle, your good to go

i also have a skinny ass, but chose the 1 1/2... have some 1 inch for delt shots though...

Again unless your down to like 5 - 8% bf, I think 1inch is too short for glutes.

I always use 23g 1 1/2 for glutes, pretty much 1inch everywhere else.

unless your pretty fat 1 inch is plenty

Why take a chance? 1-1/2" cost the same as 1". Use the longer ones and you won't have to worry about it. For sites where you normally use 1", you can still use the long pin, just don't put it in all the way. I don't even buy 1". I buy my 3cc terumos with 1-1/2" 21ga on them for my drawing pin, and I buy 25ga and sometimes 23ga for shooting.

Same here.

i always wondered if your using a 1 inch pin for glute injection are the blood vesels located deeper into the tissue or closer to the surface of the skin because i have bleed before when using 1 inch and never when using 1.5 inch.

does injecting glutes with a 1" reduce soreness? on my last cycle i had a lump in my ass for a week after every glute injection, i stopped injecting my glutes after a few weeks

I think that may vary from person to person, I have the exact opposite problem as you. I would hit a vein every other time or lose a couple mL's of blood when I would inject with 1.5" pins.
