    Could it make a difference? (Needle)

    Could you be hindering your gains by injecting with a 1'' needle in the glutes instead of 1 1/2''?

    Or are 1'' needles "ok" for glute injections?

    Thanks.

    no, 1" are not long enough for glutes. You want to leave some of the pin out so you wont go deep enough, use 1.5" and goin until there is quarter inch left, this way if you break the pin you can get it out.

    may be ok for delts tho, look it up

    Lots of debate on that. There are threads already about injecting into the fat also. The absorbioin seems to be slower but no evidence of it NOT working.

    Personally I dont think you are doing any harm but some argue that it does not do as much good???

    I use 1 or 1 1/4 for the thighs. One of these days Ill try reaching around to my ass to inject. LOL

    all depends on BF.
    i always want to make sure im in deep enough, alot could go wrong if ur not injecting deep enough.
    rule of thumb, use 1.5" on ass unless u have a "real" low bf
