someone reassure me about darts please!

**Fuller** · 02-21-2004, 01:09 PM

I have been using 1.5" 22 gauge darts in my delts. I ran low and placed an order for some 1" 22 gauge this time instead. Boy these 1" sure do seem short! I have read a lot of threads on how bro's use 1" for delts, but my god how can these be long enough!! I am out Fuller

I use 1.5 inch for my delts but I only stick it in 1 inch and dont have any problems.

**TRE** · 02-21-2004, 01:13 PM

1.5 are for glutes and I use 1" for everything else. You'll be fine.

**MBaraso** · 02-21-2004, 01:14 PM

1.5 in the delt...you must have really big shoulders. If 1 inch is too small then use the 1.5's. No big deal.
I'm sure Ronnie Colman doesn't use 1 inchers for his delts lol

i use 1 inch for everything but glutes

Don't worry.....................

the bone will stop you if you go too deep.........

1.5 glutes......

1" for every where else...

or get below 25% bf............ so you can use the 1"

**spywizard** · 02-21-2004, 03:20 PM

whatever length you get.........

don't use an 18g for the injection..

or you could just so you can say you did....................

**scottninpo** · 02-21-2004, 03:37 PM

an 18 guage looks like a lead pipe, i'd have to get pretty liquored up to even consider using that

**spywizard** · 02-21-2004, 03:38 PM

you only do it once............

I'd recommend a 25 gauge for shoulders rather than a 22 myself. I use that and a 23 for Glutes and Quads.

**firefitr5287** · 02-21-2004, 11:20 PM

1 inch is plenty long for delts unless you have a huge layer of fat on them. You just need to get in the muscle, and 1 inch is plenty deep. On a side note, I only use 1 inchers for delts, but use 1.5 for glutes and quads. I find the pain from my prop injections in the quad are not nearly as bad with a 1.5 as they were when I used a 1 inch.

**Bigun** · 02-22-2004, 07:14 AM

18guage, hell u may as well load your amp into a rifle and fire it into you LOL!

I would have to disagree with the 25 guage cause it takes too **** long too inject everything in it into your body, but 23 guage is the perfect size for me.
I also use a 1 1/2 23 guage for my delts and stick it in till about a 1/2 inch is stciking out. I would rather have 1 inch for delts but of well this is working fine for me.

i actually like the fact that it is harder to push through because it forces you to not inject too quickly

**riddic99** · 02-22-2004, 02:56 PM

i think 25g x 5/8 is even good enough for delts.

**zx7racing** · 02-22-2004, 03:01 PM

23ga 1' is a happy medium. 1.5 for glutes

**HollywoodM3** · 02-22-2004, 03:11 PM

I use a 22g 1.5 for everything, tri,delts, thights. glutes...and stick it all the way in....bro if your worried about the 1inch not being long enough just push it in futher...but I would just suck it up and use the 1.5, I like it nice and deep...your not going to hit the bone unless you are skin and bone...
