Has anyone ever used a 5/8 inch pin for quads?

I'm having some difficulty locating 25gauge, 1 inch pins...anyone ever used the 5/8 inch?? Would 5/8's allow u to go deep enough into the muscle???

I have used 5/8 only for biceps. 1.5" for glutes, 1 " for everything else. Look harder...1" pins are out there.

I have tried some spot injects with a 5/8 pin...and I didn't like it. I have more "run-off" with a 5/8 than any other way I go. I tried a 5/8 in the delt once, and thought I would need to reshoot...it looked like everything came pouring back out of my shoulder.

Too short, it's gonna ball up on ya if ya don't go deep enough...I only use the 5/8 for tri's and bi's...

Definitely..You need to get deeper into the muscle..I would recommend 1 inch at the very least for quads..I use 1.5 inch pins for quads, delts, and glutes..I like the pain though!! Look around, you will be able to find the right size pins..
