    If body fat is low, it would work, although you won't get very deep in the muscle. I injected calves once, and will never do that again. I walked like I was crippled for 2 days.

    You are going to hate yourself after that calf inject

    I would say yeah thats fine. I use to use 5/8 for delt injects but recently switched to 1 inch. You could also use 1"

    Im bulking at the moment - so bodyfat isnt low enough right now (190lbs / 16% bf)

    Ive only got 23g x 5/8" and 23g x 1 1/4" available to me.
    Ive done both bicep and delt with the 1 1/4" without any problems.......but 1 1/4" seems a little too big for the calf?

    Do you guys think the longer length is a good idea for the calf?
    (also is 1 1/4" safe for bicep and delt?)

    It really depends on how thick your muscles are, some guys could use 1.25" without a problem where others couldn't. What all injection sites are you using?

    25G 1 inch should be fine... but i advise you as ima get said, ive done a calve injection ONE time and i will never do it again... and coming from somebody who loves the pain of injections, i wouldn't suggest it... ive done chest, traps, lats, bis, tris, quads, and glutes and ill never do calves ever again

    Your best bet would be to use the 1.25 inch needle and leave about a 1/4 inch out. Its easy bro
