In theory you could just inject at most an inch worth of needle in, but I wouldn't do it. Something that long should only be used for glutes unless you're a pretty seasoned injecter.
If you hit bone...you'll know it.
? thats all Im saying...
oh ya it will hurt you. Use 1" but dont put the needle all the way in. Leave a little outside the skin.
IMHO use 5/8...then you can put it all the way in.
haha, hittin bone is a weird feeling..... i try not usually
1 inch definately..in the side delt ..depending how big you are you should be able to handle the entire 1 inch to the hub without any danger of hitting bone
