5/8 inch too short?

**Triple X** · 12-07-2006, 06:38 PM

Anyone think that a 5/8 inch pin is too short to use for delt injections? My arm and shoulders are pretty damn lean so I think it should be deep enough.

Ok..they are lean,but are they meety

5/8 is short,but I have heard of bros using
that size for delts only.I think you should use
1" pin,no need to bury it deep,and that would
also esure its deep enough into the muscle.

Just my 2cc's worth

I use a 1" for my delts and it dosent seem to go in all the way so imo, i would think its alright..

I use 5/8 in chest, tri, delt, bi, hip, quad, vastus med

Why do you use so many different sites? Seriously, I am asking because I don't understand the theory.

fro mwhat i hear it is so you don't build up too much scar tissue.if u keep injecting the same site it will build up and when u inject the oil won't spread out as well

yes and its a pain in the quad or butt or shoulder if you use it over and over and over again..

i wanted to ask this exact same question as i was told by a internet site that 25g 5/8" should be used for delts. until then i was using 23g with 1.25" and just not putting it in all the way, just like an inch. for my last injection i used 25g 5/8" for my delt and was like, "did it even reach the muscle????" from now on i would rather use at least a 1 inch

I only use prop, ace and no ester compounds. To avoid scar tissue and abcess when in e12h I wait 6-7days before I go back in the same site.

I have never shot in the bi's or tri's, I would think a 5/8'' would be optimal for those sites?

I use 5/8" on chest/tri ..sometimes delt (depending on volume: if appr. 1ml).. maybe quad

Generally 1" for everything else: delt (2+ ml volume); pecs ( depending on area); quad; glute med.; glute max

Yeah, I'm shooting 2ml into my delt with the 5/8".....no problems so far

why do you use a longer pin with more volume? the highest iv used with 5/8 is 1.5cc......

is that it?

i've done 2.5ml with 5/8"

4ml with 1 inch

and i once did 5ml with 1.25" in my glute, then the exact same in the other glute on the same night. All done with 23g

Ive never done over 1.5 in one inj. Well I think I did like a 2cc once or twice trying out a frontload.

I would much rather separate it and poke somewhere else then put shit tons in one pin. Usually 1cc every 8am, 2pm, and 8pm when using 3 short esters at once. Depends on cycle and compounds.

not trying to be a smart ass, but what differebce does it make, apart from the pain of course??

personally pref. It takes me like 30sec to insert, asperate, inject and pull out. Also I like to use 18 diff sites to prevent abcess, so it doesnt effect my lifting and it assures that i dont get any soreness/swelling no matter what compound(wb suspen, 200mg/ml prop, 150mg/ml tren ...etc)
