it doesn't matter....

uh yes it does matter...you want to get deep into the muscle, so especially on the glute you need more than 1/2"...if you have pretty low bf%, you can use 1"

You should go big and deep...that sounds a little gay

1.5" is best for glutes, unless you a very scrawny, then maybe 1". The smaller pins will probably "work", but you will not get the optimal depot possible with the glutes and so it will be more like hitting a smaller muscle group.

"scrawny" ?

i use 1" for glutes with good success and am not scrawny

[vermin]

I said VERY scrawny.

For IM injections, 1.5" for glutes here...1" for all other locations.

Unless you have extremely low bf%, I would not take chances hitting my glutes with a .5" pin...even low bf% and I think there may be risks.

so basicly no one really knows?? im using 1 inch and im not scrawny and i have gained 20 ibs on my cycle already so i know its working.. wouldnt youhave to be pretty fat to not hit muscle with 1 inch?

Did ya READ the responses?

Do you not understand basic AAS injection issues such as injection depot and why it is that glutes are preferred over smaller muscle groups?
