Okay, so I bought 100 syringes for 20 bucks.

**Atomini** · 07-21-2007, 08:08 AM

Went to the local medical supply here and I got a box of 100 needles and syringes for 20 bucks. They're all 25 gauge 1 inch pins (this is all they had in stock). I'm wondering if this is adequate for glute shots, seeing as though I notice many people are using 1 1/2 inchers?

**millionairemurph** · 07-21-2007, 08:26 AM

i think it would depend on your bodyfat. Why dont you just shoot quads and delts??

**magic32** · 07-21-2007, 09:14 AM

1.5 is better, but using the whole inch should be fine, unless you belong in a Mix-A-Lot video.

**Johny-too-small** · 07-21-2007, 10:13 AM

Jam that 1" pin hard in your ass till you have a big dimple and you'll be fine.

**Atomini** · 07-21-2007, 10:33 AM

Johnny, you sure it should go THAT far in?? I've heard some people talk about how the tips can potentially break off, and if the shit is THAT far in....? lol.

**Johny-too-small** · 07-21-2007, 10:38 AM

Yeah, I dont think the pin is going to bust off, like s p o t i n j e c t i o n s claims could happen. Im pretty sure you'd figure out if the needle was that weak before it got that far in. Have you ever watched your doctor give you a shot? They stick that fvcker in deep! As long as you hold steady and go straight in, I cant imagin that you'd break the needle.

I've read that too, but to be honest I can't see it happening, unless there was a defect in the pin or something. There just isn't enough leverage to break the pin, in my opinion.

**testisbest** · 07-21-2007, 10:42 AM

Hey bro, I always wondered the same thing about breaking a pin off in me. So I tried breaking a used pin on the counter top in my bathroom and I'll be the first to tell you, you'd have to be a moron to break one of those things in you. Give it a try on a counter top or something and you'll see for yourself.

Yeah, docs are brutal with their shots.

And I did open one syringe just to see how it is, and I tried bending the needle and it's actually pretty durable. You'd have to bend it REALLY FVCKING far to the side for it to snap.

**Johny-too-small** · 07-21-2007, 11:27 AM

Btw, $20 for a 100 pins is a rip! lol.

**gixxerboy1** · 07-21-2007, 11:40 AM

i use 1 inch for every part

In england we get all ours for free! anything from 21G to 29G, all 1 inch or 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 inch. And swobs and sharps bins too :-)

Sure if you wanna be seen walking into a drugs clinic, asking for pins and walking out with them in your hands.. I'd never do that shit.. bound to see some family members checking on their HIV or something

By no means am I suggesting anybody do what I do but, I have used a 25ga 5/8 pin twice a week for a year and a half for glutes and shoulders and have never had a problem. My bodyfat is pretty low and it works for me. I get them for free but I also have a box of 25ga 1.5" on standby. Like I said this works for me and I'm not saying it would work for everybody. Just my experience.

hope your not implying my family has HIV. Because then there would be problems.

Our local needle exchange is within a hospital actually and they give you a local supermarket bag to put them in so walking out of the hospital whos not to think you havnt just been visiting a family member on a ward ;-)

**ron123** · 07-26-2007, 05:35 AM

needle exchange. Quick half hr chat and away you go, easy but thats England for yoo.

**wantmoremass** · 10-11-2007, 02:29 PM

Atomini, can I ask what medical supply store? Not sure where you are in Canada, but I'm in Vancouver. Do Shopper's sell or does it have to be a specific supply store. Getting ready for 1st cycle, wasn't sure if it's better to order online (researchsupply has good prices, not sure how shipping is to Canada) or med store.

**Ir0n** · 10-11-2007, 03:10 PM

What's the deal with the pins in Ireland i wonder. Pharmacies require prescription not buy pins and I've no clue where the syringe exchange is located.

Gonna have to approach some crack heads to find this out

I'm on the East coast, and I highly doubt the place I went to is a chain that's all over the country. It's called Riska Medical Supply. I have no idea if Shoppers would sell syringes and pins. You can check, but I highly doubt it. Try veterenarian supply places, they'll sell syringes and pins no questions asked, so search around your area for any.

**bbuff** · 10-11-2007, 03:50 PM

Shoppers sells syringes and pins, thats where I get mine from.

Seriously? No questions asked? What are their prices?

I should get em from there from now on, then.

**bbuff** · 10-11-2007, 04:01 PM

No questions asked, I can't remember the prices, it's been a few months since I bought pins for my last cycle but it shouldn't be more than what you paid, probably about the same or maybe less

**Atomini** · 10-11-2007, 04:03 PM

Because I went there to get an oral syringe and the dumbass idiot behind the desk was like "OH YEAH? AND WHAT DO YOU NEED IT FOR!??!!?!?". I just said "medicine" and he gave it to me.

**bbuff** · 10-11-2007, 04:12 PM

I've had like other customers look at me funny sometimes when I go to buy pins, but never had anyone working there say anything. I went with a friend once to get an oral syringe for his clen and the lady asked what he needed it for, I guess it just depends on who's working there.

**roidrage625** · 10-11-2007, 06:23 PM

if it ever does happen to break off be sure to draw a circle around it and get ur ass to the er

**SNUKA** · 10-11-2007, 06:58 PM

I use 1.5 inches for everything i just dont go all the way in most of the times. i would use 1 inch for tris and delts, but thats just me

**thegodfather** · 10-11-2007, 07:14 PM

Theres no need to be concerned about using a 1" pin. There was a study done that showed sub-q injections of Testosterone were just as effacious as IM...

**magic32** · 10-12-2007, 11:05 AM

Sub-q is not the same as injecting into fatty tissue. The former, as in GH use, is between the skin and fat.

**Maldorf** · 10-12-2007, 09:38 PM

Only thing I might add is that its going to take awhile to push the oil through a 25 gauge needle if your doing the glute. It is hard to reach back there and you cant generate as much pressure as you can with an easier to reach spot. I would bet you get tired of having to do an injection for so long. i wouldnt go smaller than a 23 gauge back there.
