    If you use a 25, be sure to warm it up. It takes me 5 minutes to get 2ml with a 25. Personally I use a 22 or 23 X 1.5. Draws much easier and you can go deeper into muscle tissue.

    I go real slow. Be sure to aspirate slowly too. (pull back on syringe plunger, lightly to see if you're in a blood vessel.) If you are, you will pull back some blood into syringe. Obviously this is not good and you need to reposition.

    i get test through 25 gauge just fine...requires slightly more patience, but the slower inject is a good thing, provided you keep your hand steady

    agree with the 23g.
    1.5 inch for glutes and thighs
    1 inch for everything else

    I draw with an 18ga and have been using 1" 25ga for biceps, delts and quads. No problems with injecting with the 25ga, seems I have less injection pain as well compared to the 22 ga I was using before.

    use the smallest diameter to shoot possible. it will take longer to fill but it is worth spending a couple min's filling to save on scar tissue

    Only if you have a nice, small, tight, round ass.
    You know....like a GIRL !!! j/k

    I'm half serious. Just make sure you shoot up just below the belt line. And bury it to the hub. Should work.

    I can't see my ass or do the mirror thing so I just always do thighs with a 23 X 1.5.

    i hate 25gauge i tried it last cycle and to shoot test and eq a ml each take forever and i feel like i have to smashed the plunger down otherwise it dont move i went back to drawing with a 20 and shooting with a 23. i used 25 for water soluable stuff like winny and b-12 and that works great

    A 25g would be smaller than a 23g. The lower the guage, the fatter the needle.
