    needles, needles and needles

    Hi guys,

    In a previous topic I shared my upcoming cycle and took in consideration your opinions. I'm getting ready for the cycle but before doing anything I always like to plan ahead (better be safe then sorry)

    A friend gave me a box of syringes 3cc that comes with a 21g needle. Also, he gave me 1 1/2'' 22g needles and 1'' 23g needles.

    Can I use the 22g for the glutes and quads. I would pin my delts with the 23g needles.

    Now my question: Should I be ok with the size of the needles for injecting?

    Thanks

    I have used 21g and 22g in both glutes and thigh. 1 inch for quads and 1 1/2 for glutes.

    Should be good to go as long as bodyfat is decent. I sit around 8.5% n use 23g 1" for everything n always worked great. Many ppl use 1 1/2" inch in glutes.. up to you

    personally i wouldnt use a 22 or 23 to pin quads. esp if its a virgin area. id always use a 25g for quads and shoulders. glutes u can use gauge above 18. tho i may be a huge coward who pins gear alone 4 times a day everyday. the smaller the needle the less scar tissue build up aswell. plus why pin with more painful pins when u dont need to?

    Depends on your injection frequency. No way I'd be pinning ED with 21g or 22g. I only use 23g or 25g for every body part.

    23g is also fine. Personally I wouldn't use a lower gauge than that. I buy 18g needles only to draw with. You don't get extra points for causing yourself unnecessary pain.

    i started with 23g and switched to 25g on the next cycle and its a nice difference. i use 23 to draw and 25 to pin. not only is it less painful with less scaring it also makes it easier to control the injection speed since it is more restricted. its easy to go too fast. pins are wicked cheap, dont cause urself pain. ar-r has what you need. i use 25g x 1" for everything.
