1" needle

[-labmonkey-]

would a 1 inch needle work good to shoot in the glute or does it have to be 1.5inch

[kostakv]

good question

[NATE0406]

1 inch should be ok, but i would reconmend 11/2 just to be sure..

1" only if your bodyfat is low. Why take the chance? Go 1 1/2.

I really think it depends on the person.... my butt isn't that big... it's real small and muscley without much flab so I've been using a 1" 25 guage..... If anyone thinks differently let me know but I think it's fine for me.. If you have a big butt and have some extra flab then you may be better off to go with the 1.5..... anyway that's my opinion and experience with that topic...

i have low body fat and i use a 1 1/4 inch 23guage needle for glutes... it works fine for me.

I've always used 1" needle for glutes. Never got abcess. Bf was max 13-14%

[DEVLDOG]

if you miss the muscle in the glute with a 1" needle, how bad would the pain be? How would you know you missed the muscle?

[IM MACHO]

deeper the better... just to be sure use 1.5"... but if your lean its your call... i guess the only way to find out is try it!!

i am not sure. all i know is i can feal when i enter the muscle... there is a slight kinda wierd fealing i get when it enters the muscle. im not sure if this is true for anyone else.
