**MCMARK** · 06-23-2005, 12:14 PM

i was thinking about doing a shoulder shot but it just seems like my 1 1/2 inchs pins would hit the bone>??do i need a shorter pin or just my imagination.??

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.

1" is what I use for everything but glutes. But it doesn't matter if your needle is 10 inches, just insert it 1 inch. So yes you could use your 1.5 inchers and just go 2/3 of the way in. Maybe even 1/2. See what I mean?

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...
