Needle help

Just wondering what kind of needle I need for a glute shot!
I have some fat, so wich lenght and gauge for sus/deca???

Thanks! :)

23AWG 1.5" should work fine

I use a 21 guage 1" pin. But if you have some fat on your glute you would probabaly want to use the 1.5" pin to make sure you are deep enough into the muscle.

Help! I need more opinions!!! :unsure:

23ga! I have no idea why anyone would prefer a 21ga, 23ga works great. In fact, even 25ga would probably work well but that depends on what brand gear you plan on running.

You could actually use either. It a matter of personal preference. The 21g will be more painful because of its larger bore, but the injection will go quicker. The 23g will won't be as painful, but the injection will take longer because of the smaller bore. Just make sure your using 1.5'ers for your glutes.

22g 1 1/2" needle. I made the mistake and used 1" needle. Though I think I'm OK, everone on the board will tell you to use 1 1/2 for glutes.

Check out the following website this should answer all of your questions on what needles to use and were to insert the needles.
