Depends on how big you are, but I wouldn't bury a 1.5" in my delt. Use a 1", or if your delts are very small, you could even try a 5/8"
1" for the shoulder is perfect for most whom lift.
yup 1' is good for me...
thanx for the info and avatar pic since im about the same build as you it gives me a good reference..1 inch it is thenQuote:

You can use your 1 1/2" pins - just don't bury the needle in your arm...
ive used a 1 1/2 inch several times,.only went to deep once ( knock on wood ). If thats all you have, use it..just dont go as deep. Peace
my girlfriend got a shot today in her shoulder, shes 5'6" and weighs 120. they used a 1". fit all the way for her, dont really see a need for 5/8 unless ur like anorexic skinny.
1 1/2" for glutes....1" for almost every otehr inject site. You can use them if it's all you've got, just don't insert it in all the way.
1" is good for delts/tris
I heard of a technique where you trim the needle guard leaving half an inch, and then put it back on your dart prior to injection. Thus enabling you to use your 1.5" like a 1"
I have never tried this but it should work OK if you keep everything sterile.

Bro it doesnt matter if u have 2 inch needles, just dont stick it in all the way. Just stick the thing in ur muscle and hit the gym.
God, I remember hitting a nerve in my right quad many years back. That hurt like a mutha and my leg was sore for weeks. My calfs are small and I use to inject right into the head but it didn't do much for me. I'm plagued with small calves. Implants...? My quads are good with a nice tear drop and seperation.
Justin, do you notice a difference in your shoulder development when doing site injections? I haven't done that for years but I think I got better pumps in my delts. Can't quite remember...
