Quads and 5/8 needles

**Barkley9** · 03-17-2008, 10:29 PM

Hey guys,

just a quick question.... i ran a search about shooting quads with 5/8" needles, trying to find some answers. I always use 1 inch needles for the quads, but on this weeks trip i foolishly brought only 5/8. i am scheduled to shoot tonight, and would prefer to hit the quads. My body fat is around 7-8 %..... should i not bother even trying the quads? or do you think it will work....... i personally dont like shooting delts/bis/or tris..........

5/8" is good your fine esp with 7-8%BF

Why not just hit something like your delts, bi's, pecs?

well i just dont like shooting there, i have tried, but i usually prefer only glutes and quads..... i am shooting test cyp..... twice a week

ITs not what you prefer in situations, you have to work with what you have and in this case delts would be a better option as you want to go DEEP intramuscular and 5/8 would not be deep for your quads, delts you would be ok with tho. Your call.

exactly..... 5/8" at 25g is perfect for delts..... you'll be fine doing your quads i'm sure though.... most guys don't store too much fat there but then again SOME do.... i always use 1" just to be safe but 5/8" for my delts and that works out great.... gL

most cases your rite lego.. but at 7-8%BF which prob means hes a light guy so doubts on alot of fat around on area .. possible to shoot your quads with 5/8.
as a matter a fact i kno a bunch of guys 220+ who use 5/8

up to you.

totally man - bury that thing in your delt ... you want to make sure it absorbs properly ..
