pin size?

[derelict]

hey guys, I shooting Quads with 25guage 1'' pins. and shoulders with 25 guage 5/8'' pins...are these too short? I used 1'' in the shoulders before, but decided to change it up. Ive had no problems with the size so far, but should it be a concern of mine?

Im shooting Test E eod.

thanks a bunch!

depend son how many ML's and how fat you are.

if you go in a full 5/8" in the delt make sure you're injecting under 1ml. and you gotta be under 12%.

going in 3/4 to 1" on quads is perfect under 2ml.

im just shooting 1cc in both area's...im guessing that Im floating around 12%bf

would there be any signs to let me know that the pins are too short?

thanks

ive alwayws been instructed to use 1'' pins on the delts.. i was inder the impression that 5/8" were for like tri's, calves, traps,... muscles of that sort

what would go wrong using 5/8? Im not trying to argue, i just dont know what would happen?

well I barely get away with 1/2" 30G when I shoot 1/2ml in the delt, I poke myself all the way in and simple the skin inward.

worst case, you'll inject on the outer part of the muscle, and far worst = you'll go outside muscle = sub Q

sub Q?

sub Q?

like partialy under the skin

.

why under 1ml? Ive shot 2.5ml in there before...

Ive done only one Inj. on my shoulder and i had no problems. my next comes up this thursday, is it worth tossing the 50 5/8'' pins i just bought and get something else? I dont think I need 1'', what can you guys suggest?


thanks a bunch

I said if you poke youreself and the needle only goes in 5/8" of an inch, then I wouldn't inject more than under a ML. you're at the surface of the muscle tissue.
I doubt the surface would handle 2.5ml's too well
