I have a low body fat about 8 % do you think a 1/2 inch needle is to small?

I use 5/8" on quads and delts. no problems. 20%bf
use 1" or do you have really small delts?

i use 1.5 for delts with no issues, you should try and use a 1'' so you know its deep enough in the muscle.
just my 2cents
I use 25G 1" inch for Delts and Quads. 23G 1.25" for Glutes, 25G 5/8 everything else. I think it depends a lot on bodyfat. If thats you in your avatar? I dont see a problem at all.
yeah thats me thanks for the help.
I go 1/2" in delts all the time.
I don't ever use anything less than a one inch anywhere. You would be surprised how much muscle is actually there.
me either....Originally Posted by velvetlion

take out the spaces
Here is what they say and what I do
*What size needle do I need?
The smaller the gauge the larger the needle.
22 or 23 Gauge, 1.5 Inch is ideal for injections into the glutes.
25 Gauge, 1.0 inch is ideal for injections into the quads and can be used for all spot injections.
25 Gauge, 5/8 inch is often used for tricep/bicep/delts
I think my Doc always uses 1" for adult delts, so that's what I do. IMO, for delts, 1.5" is pushing it, and 5/8 may not get deep enough into the tissue for a 1.5-2.5 CC injection.
I would not use more then 1/2 of a ML when using 1/2" or 5/8" in the delt
when u inject you'll put the oil (gear) near the surface of the muscle hence go with 1/2ml or under to ensure you don't leak any subQ
Good point, but I would just make it easy and go with a 1-1.5 inch and not have to worry about that.Originally Posted by Unoid
I always pump 3cc's into my delts with a 5/8" and i've never had any problems. I dont see any problem using that short unless ones bf % is quite high.Originally Posted by Unoid
i go 1.5 inch and have no probs at all
what's the purpose of injecting in the different body parts? Is it to alternate sore spots...or does it benefit that particular muscle more? Just curious as i have always injected in my glutes.
