    fina with insulin needles?

    i have always used insulin needles with my everyday fina shots, never had a problem until one of my experienced friends says im wasting my fina not getting everything out of it b/c of the needle not going deep into my mucles, is this true???
    anyone else here besides me use insulin needles for e/d fina shots? I never had a problem. Thanks!

    That all depends on your body fat and where you are injecting. If you are lean, and doing bi, tri, delt, pec shots, shouldn't really be a problem. If not, 25 gauge 1 inch should be sufficient.

    Your friend is right. Slin needles will not reach the muscle in the delts. You will need at least a 1" pin. You can use a slin needle but it will have to be used in spot injections only.

    Insulin pins are better subQ shots not IM. Just go get your self a
    23g or 22g 1"-1.5".
    BTW Do you only do delt shots?
    Why?
