    Injection question

    I'm using a 1 inch needle to inject my test. I assume it's going into the muscle. Would I know if the needle wasn't long enough and was just injecting into the fatty tissue? What would the symptoms be?

    Test Cyp, 200mg so 1cc. Drawing with a 18 guage and injecting with a 1 inch 27 gauge. I know 27 gauge is a small needle but it works fine just have to push a little harder with the 27 gauge :P

    Injecting in my upper glutes, BF% around 13% I can't imagine having more than inch of fat between but just want to make sure im getting it in the muscle. No lumping or redness so thats good.

    Get hold of some 1.25 or 1.5" pins if you can, will be 100% sure then and less reasons to worry.

    I have some 1.5's there isn't the possibility of going to deep right? I mean how far down do the glutes go?

    Pretty damn deep.

    1.5" is fine - if ya worried leave 0.25" of the needle showing.
