is 22 gauge to big?

I used this for my behind for my last few cycles as well as for my quad a few years ago..

Tonight i hit up the quad and i bleed a little bit...

this has never happened to me before ( yes i rmeber to aspirate and yes i know where the best spot is)

Is 22 gauge to big for the quad...or is this because i just did an intense leg workout am hour ago?

thanks all

Ahhh I only use 22g sometimes I use an 18 if I dont have anymore 22's. I hate spending 3-5 minutes in some wicked position to inject glutes and traps. So I hate using 23's and 25's.

injection question

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i am currently injecting eod in the behind..i have done it just like it is shown on spotinjections...this time i couldnt get it in the left cheek so i figured maybe that area has seen too much abuse and i moved the injection point in probably right in the middle of my ass. i was using a 22g 1.5 inch. i insert the needle very slowly..becuase of doing this i rarely feel sore.. this time i couldnt stick the last 1/4 inch of the needle in due to the fact that i started to feel alot of pain so i figured 1 1/4 inch would be fine aspirated injected ...

could someone comment on this .. its never happened to me before

I used both 18g and 22g to inject my quad before and they were ok but after using 25g I found it the most convenient. I don’t think little bleeding is a big problem as long as there is no pain.

just stick an iv in my quad while i go bench press...

another question: i have buddy that claimed 22g is too large because it can suck up dangerously large glass shards from ampules... :0piss:

ur guess>>>>???????????????

fact or fiction?

I ussually use a 22 in the glute. I tried it in the shoulder and even chest and there was no soreness, but when I injected the quad, I was limping for days.

If you poke slowly, none of the sizes hurt. It never hurts for me to inject, either 18 or 25 its the same. I just hate the 25's because it takes forever to push the oil through! :rolleyes:

Dont worry man. There is nothing wrong with 22 gauge or else they wouldnt sell them and make them. I use 22 gauge for every single injection, including bi's and tris EVERYTHING. It is perfectly fine as long as your not a pussy.
