    Can i get away w a smaller pin?

    Im on my first cycle and have had some problems with soreness. Im using 22g @11/2'' for my glutes and 23g @1" for my delts but its leaving me in pain for days. Can i get away with using the 23g for my glutes? Im not sure if the 1" is big enough. Im taking sus250 so im taking up to 3 shots a week at mid cycle so im trying to find a way around the aftershock of the injections. Let me know if you guys can help.

    it is an intermuscular shot the thikness of the needle dont matter, but it does have to be at least 1". 1" always hurt me so i would go deeper with a 1 1/2" and that would ease my soreness. good luck

    IMO you shouldn't go any smaller than a 23g 1.5" for your glutes and 23g 1" for spot injections. You sure its from scar tissue and not from the propionate ???

    IMHO you can use a 25 gauge 1" for every injection you have in mind. Use the first needle on the syringe for drawing up the gear and than switch over to the new 25 gauge 1" for the actual IM injection.

    bro u can get away with 23g 1 1/2 for glutes and 25g 1" for delts, 23g just injects a lil quicker but imo i like 25g best for delts cuz ur not building up as much scar tissue in the mucsle granted ul be injecting a lil longer but its worth it for me
