    Scared needle will hit bone!

    Will a 1.5 inch needle hit my shoulder bone as I am not huge (only 190)? Wasn't planning on going the whole way but would like to know how far is generally accepted?

    If you don't go almost all the way (within 1/8") you will wiggle around and go back and forth with your depth, possibly hitting a vein in the process. If you fear that your delts can't take it, go at a slight angle...not much. The other option is to order some 1" pinz. What gauge are you using?

    I know it isn't ideal but would I be ok in attempting to go in only an inch? I can have my friend do the plunge while i hold her steady?.....

    shooting in delt and quad, source told me that winny in quad may be painful so was thinking of avoiding that, is this true?

    I put winny in my quads and dels and didn't notice a difference in pain. I was using upJohn gear. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Out of curiosity, how it does feel to poke a bone?

    I guess it doesn't have pain/feel sensors so would you feel anything?

    you can always cut the top off of the needle cap and put it back on so that you have a custom length.. the cap will stop the needle from going in to your shoulder any farther.

    I can't tell you how it feels but I can tell you how it feels to give someone a shot and hit bone - creepy

    I've jabbed the 1.5" all the way with no probs. You'd be suprised how thick your delt head is I think. I'm not what I would call ridiculously huge.

    Bone tissue is very rich with nerves, why do you think its so painful when you get a fracture.
