Will a 22 gauge be painful for a delt inject, and what would you recommend?
25g 1"
But will hitting the delt hurt? Would you reccomend another spot?
Higher the gauge the thinner the pin........... 22g is a lot bigger than a 25g
the only pain is the needle first going in, or if you happen to hit a nerve or run through a vein there's a little pinch
Is a 1 inch pin long enough for a glute inject?
The thicker the guage the more scar tissue you build......... better to go with a higher gauge pin to cut down on the scaringQuote:

I don't go with anything below 25's nowQuote:

I would stay away from 22g in the delt. Like the others said, 25g 1".
im doin my delts (and im not a huge man) with a 23-1 1/4, all deep in my delt!
no pain, no problem at all!
agreed...25g 1" are smooth as silk :DQuote:

all i can get is 22g so all i use is 22, if you built up the balls for stabbing yourself then im pretty sure your not gonna cry over the difference of a 22 and a 25 gauge.
I am currently shooting in the delt and the chest with 1" 22 gauge pins. There is no pain what so ever. But then again i have never used anything other than 22 gauge. Delt injections IMO are easy and pain free..... Fuller
bro you know you can order more pins online... you're gonna have a **** load of scar tissue down the road..Quote:
