    Question Is there a such thing as going too deep?

    If a person has low body fat, is it possible to go too deep with an injection using average lengths such as 1" for delts and 1.5" for glutes? I have low body fat but i like to make sure the gear gets deep inside the muscle. is there any reasons why people use 5/8" in delts and 1" in glutes with low body fat except for the pure reason of the comfort of not using such a big needle?

    Keep using the sizes that you are... In all honesty, most people should not be using 5/8s etc for delts.

    1" about 3/4 of the way in and you'll be fine.

    I guess if you hit bone, that is too deep. But honostly, if you are worried that a one inch needle is too big for you, chances are you are too small to be using steroids . Otherwise a 1 inch should be fine, and 1.5 for glutes.

    i absolutely agree ,dont go jabbing a 1.5 into your tris or chest i use 1"needle for all injections and have not had any problems ,i dont shoot glutes still little thick in that area.i do on occasion use 1.5 for my quads but not often

    whats the difference going 1" about 3/4 of the way in as opposed to 5/8? That doesnt make sense bro.

    25g 5/8" works fine for all spot injections for me and 23g 1" works perfect for glutes.

    I use a 1.5in needle everywhere... glutes, quads, bis, tris, delts. I never go all the way in, I leave at least a quarter-inch out wherever i inject.

    I guess my point it that 1" allow you to go deeper while leaving some out...whereas most half inchers have to be pushed all the way in.

    I agree. I use 1in in my bies and go all the way in. 5/8 is to small for anyplace IMO. Yea you might be in the muscle but not deep enough
