pin sizes for my upcoming cycle

[rhed]

About to order my pins. So I just wanted opinions or some recommendations on sizes.
I'm gonna do only delts and glutes for now for my first cycle. So I was thinking... Delts: 23g @ 1" Glutes: 23g @ 1-1/2"
BTW can glutes get by with 1"? Or is it to short? And should I do 22g or 23g is ok?
thanks...

For the glutes, I personally use a 25g at 1.5'' and for all the other site injections, I stick with 25g at 1''. A one-inch pin for glutes is too short in my opinion.

All depends on how much BF you
have back there,if low..1" w/work.
But you should still bury that pin..

Better off shooting with a 23 1.5"

u need 1.5 inch for glutes because u need to get deep into the muscle.

I use a 25g 1.5 inch needle for glutes

Xactly!

I'm typically 10%bf or less...1", 23g all around for IM injections for me.

thanks... My bf is 14% @ 192#.. I think I'm going 23g 1-1/2" all around just to be sure.. Thanks for the heads up on bf % to determine pin size...

Just buy 1.5", if you are shooting quads or delts, you dont have to bury it all the way. . .

damn by the sound of it i need to get some thinner pins. i do all my hits with 21ga. 1.5 for glutes and 1" for delts and pecs. i think ima get rid of the coffee straws

[getbig32]

21 ga. f......that must hurt like a mo fo....

Go with 1 1/2 for the glutes. It's a good idea to leave some of the pin exposed, just incase it breaks off.

I'd only use 21 for drawing...

OUCH!!!! That happened to me about a month ago, still can't find that broken pin....???

How exactly does that happen, breaking a pin off in your body?? I've heard that mentioned everytime a thread comes up regarding pin sizes and when I stick myself everyday, I can't imagine that happening. I mean, for those whom this has happened to did you fall or lose your balance or what?? It sounds horrible...

yeah!

every time i stick myself, i think what could cause it to break? are you bending it or something?

BTW, 21g is HUGE. i use 23g 1.5inch for glutes, 23g 1inch for quads, and 25g 5/8inch for delts. (i'm a bitch when it comes to delts)

[getbig32]

dont know if any of you have ever tried to break a needle on something hard but it take a heck of alot of effort! you have to bend it like 7 times for it to break

[Mista Massive]

so then how do these ppl end up with broken pins in their body????

it astounds me!

[rhed]

ok.. Now i'm back to original plan..
delts: 23g 1.0
glutes: 23g 1.5
Thanks for your input peeps...

Thats the truth! At least 7 times

There is no way that a pin will break off in
someones glutes,flexed butt cheek or not

If everyone wasted a pin,you will clearly see
you can twist it into a pretzel before it breaks.

Well see, that was why I was asking cuz I've encountered a fair amount of needles/syringes in my time and everytime I've tried to intentionally break the pin off, all it did was bend and become more dangerous than if I'd left it straight. I'd be interested in hearing who has actually broken a pin off when injecting and how exactly it happened. I mean, since we hear the warnings about it SO much...
