needles to big?

[rafael]

i have 22 gauge 1.5 pins... i use these for my glutes and delts...i dont have smaller needles...i was wondering which muslces i can inject with these. i dont have other sizes. And i was told some muscles require smaller pins. Id like to shoot my chest / traps and maybe another muslce....any suggestions appreciated.

RN here....dont insert the 1.5 inch pin in 1.5 inches. Only go 1 inch. That should be good. Its a little harder to hold steady but it is dooable.

All you have to do is use the same pins but not put them in all the way.

i got me some 25guage 1" for those smaller places like chest, arms, legs..this is what is the better size for those places. 22guage will prolly hurt too much

the info part on that site advises size for all muscle groups. of course you don't have to abide by it. they reccomend a 25g 5/8" for delts. i don't like the idea of 5/8" for delts. but 1" 25g is fine for me. everyone is different and that site would give a general idea.

i only insert ~ 1 inch into delts...im no dummy lol...unless they were real big delts...then maybe lol

We had a similar thread the other day

Trick for Delt/Quad injections with 1.5" needles

[MotoLifter]

When i'm going into a smaller muscle with a long pin (ex:1.5in) I just cut the pin cap and leave half an inch at the base of the pin. It acts like a stopper when you have gone far enough.

Is your question about the 22ga or the length?

The gauge doesnt matter, its what you ca tolerate.

AS far as the length, like has been said, you don't have to burry it. Delts, you only need about 5/9-1 inch penetration, quads and glutes, you can go about 1-1.5 and be fine.

Most people don't like 22ga because they hurt slightly more. Me, I dont think they hurt more until you get to 18-20ga pins. 22-and smaller don't phase me.

If you are worried that the gauge is too big then inject slower. Try using the cannon 18ga someday. That will smart you.

Pins are dirt cheap. Buy some properly sized pins.

You can get by in a pinch, but I would definately order new pins.
