    yes that is good for shoulder injections

    as far as glute injections, if you have reasonably low bf% and push the 1" in all the way, you will be ok...

    i use 25g x 1" for both those sites

    That is exactly what I use for ALL my injections... 23g x 1" Glute, Delt, Quad, Ventroglute (sp) ,


    Just put the sucker in all the way and try not to break it off!

    Cripey, unless you're injecting on a motorbike, breaking off should never be a problem!

    I use 21g x 1" for shoulders, 1.5" for glutes is better recommended IMO.

    Depends on BF% when injecting.... Most should use a 1.5 inch for glutes..

    I usually stick to 23g x 1". You can barely feel it going in and it's still big enough where drawing out of an amp won't take you 15minutes. 21's are not necessary IMO, I'll use them to draw but not stick.
