    1/2 " needle for delts and thighs

    i know standard practice is 23 gauge 1" inch needle for delt and thigh sticks....could you use a 25 or 27 even 29 1/2 " needle for delt and thigh sticks if you are relatively lean....had someone tell me he uses an 29 1/2" insulin syringe for delt and thigh sticks and has know problems even though it is a slow process ....could you use a 1/2 " needle?

    if your gear will pass through that small of a needle, than i don't see a problem.

    Anything smaller than 25G and you're going to start having trouble getting the gear through the needle. I personally feel 25's are perfect for Delts & Calves and 23's for Quads.
