    1/2" pin too small?

    For prop and other stuff would half inch pin ever be enough for certain parts of the body i.e. pectoral or ab injection? I assume this is body fat percentage related more than anything.

    eerrr, mate, do not inject an ab muscle.

    as for other locations such as pecs, traps and delts, it would depend on bf levels as to whether or not you'd get a 'deep' injection

    Like ^^^^^^said, it all depends on your body fat..I don't have much body fat so I use 25 in 1/2 in needles to pin on my traps and delts..I also warm up the test by puttin the vial in hot water for about 30-45 secs

    There are some, including talking to my doctor, that SubQ injections are probably as effective as IM. But I imagine you DO need to get past the fat though.

    You want deep IM for AAS injections. 1" would be the minimum in my opinion.

    I agree completely with A L I N. My bf% is not high at all. I have atleast 100 5/8 shipped to me by accident. And I still won't use them... Its not worth the risk to me... I would rather go a tad bit deeper.

    You technically shouldnt be putting the pin all the way in either in case it breaks.... 1/2 seems way to small....

    1/2" is definitely pretty short, I like to always go 3/4 of the way in with a 1" pin at the minimum.

    my TRT doc use to use 5/8 and inject subq,, said it may be a little slower but not enough to matter.
