Where wouldn't you Stick a 23 1.5

**speedtraining** · 05-12-2005, 08:07 AM

I shoot with 23 gauge needles i'm a pretty big guy 240 9-10% body fat...I figure when i shoot in my shoulder i just won't push the pin in the full 1.5 only to like one...that will be fine for a shoulder injection right...i figure 23 is a versitile pin..

iwouldnt stick it up my ass....

seriously though even if the needle was 5inches and you only stick 1 inch in your shoulder common sense says its ok sicne its only a 1 inch needle then right??...

for a guy your size you could do 1.5 in the quad and glute
1 inch pretty much everywhere else

23g only goes in my hip.. all others are 25 1's

Ma, you could shoot a 23 1.5 anyplace and be cool, I'll hit it anyplace but my dick, maybe a calve as well. But other than that, pec, bi, delt, tri, quad, glute, pretty much anyplace. Onmly place I have yet to try are traps and lats, which I dont think I ever would. Especially traps.

i have done traps PROP loves traps

... only place i wouldnt do would be CALVS ><
and 23g feels like a harpoon compared to my nice lil 25g which are great for bi's, tri's, chest, and traps.

I use that in the glutes and the quads... Delts or chest you could, I seen where another member did this, Take the cap to the needle and cut off 1 inch and replace the cut off peice back on and press until it clicks. This will give you a 1 inch needle as the plastic peice acts as the canula... I thought is was an excellent idea, wish I could give the credit to the person.

Cause there is more pain/nerve stimulation with pushing a needle in slow. Alot of people on boards say push in slow but I have tried both ways, and darting it in as long as you are injecting into a good location will have no negative effects. Not one doctors office or hospital(or troop medical clinics for military) push a needle in slow. That is a scared persons wives tale. Go in fast and all the way to the canula, even if you have to make a makeshift canula.

Alot of work for using a pair of scissors? or a box knife?

I use 23's for my shoulders all the time, won't cause you a problem. I hate glute and quad shots, but if I've got some 21's I'll hit my glutes with them for an easy squirt!.

I tried a 25 1 1/2 in my glute the other day and I couldnt get my enanthate to come out barely. So I pulled out stuck a 23g 1 inch and re injected and that got it into my ass. I asked on different post this question but thought I would ask again. Will the 1 inch be ok in my glute? I have very little fat so I would think it will be ok.
