    i have stocked up on 1.5 i ordered online because i was planning to stick them all in my glutes but after some researching i found it its best to change injection area. i already did 2 on the left and 2 on the right cheek so i wanna do my delts next im just afraid im going to hit my bone and ouch that would hurt, do i go 3/4in?

    ^^Exactly.

    Depends on the amount of adipose tissue between the skin and muscle. For a bruce lee look a like, 1". For someone Trey Brewer's level, well you can guess the rest.

    when I use 1.5" i always just hold back the last half inch on my quads or smaller muscle... i have low bf so i feel like it penetrates too much... on my glute where ive got more cushion--i go all the way in.

    KIM even if the needle doesn't reach IM, it will still work just as efficiently.
