    5/8" Needle long enough?

    Quick question

    I got these 25g 5/8 needles. They look somewhat 1/2 an inch.

    I just wanted to ask if they are long enough to use for injecting into the delts.

    (it's the first time i'm injecting into delts. I need more injection sites. So far i've only used glutes, quads and biceps.)

    Thanks.

    Totally 100% ***endent upon your body fat man. We cant answer that for you man sorry. But I use a slin pin which is 1/2 inch when I inject insulin IM and I can do that in bi's, tri's, shoulder's, pec's. Probably more area's but those are the areas for ME that are leaner.

    Only way to find out is try, you can usually tell when you enter muscle tissue.

    I just tried now, but can't really tell. I've got nearly no fat in the deltoid area however and really pushed the needle down hard as far as it would go. Hope I didn't waste the gear.

    Have you tried the Ventro Glute? For some reason it does not seem to be a very popular injection site but it seems like the best place to me. Of course I wouldn't go smaller than 1 inch for the ventro glute.

    As far as 5/8 for delts I agree with C Bino. Personally I dont have any fat on my delts but I would still use 1 inch pins just to be sure that I am deep in the muscle.

    how can I tell if I injected into the fat?

    Would the oil just ooze out?
