    Am i using a long enough needle?

    Just a quick question....ive been using a 25gauge 5/8in needle for my lateral delt injections. Is this long enough? Do i have to go all the way in? Sorry maybe im just paranoid im not going deep enough. Any help is appreciated

    thats short. If you use it yes you have to go all the way in. I use 25g 1 inch for everyplace

    If your not fat....5/8 is usually ok in the deltoid... you should go all the way in...and aspirate before injecting. the i'm surprised your able to get oil out of suc a thin pin. If odds water based....ur fine....oil.....if u get it out of the pin...then your pin length forte the deltoid is fine...unless your John Goodman fat

    We/he should be asking you the same thing since a 23g is larger than a 25g. I use to use 25g but recently went to 27, smooth as butter and no problem pushing out the test.

    I dont think the 25guage needle hurts as far as the actual injection goes. I am a good deal sore after the pin though. Im using tren/test cyp 250. The test loads pretty decent but the tren takes awhile to draw up. Im by no means fat. Im 5'8 160. So do you think im fine with the 5/8? I bought a box of 100 so id hate to have to buy new 1 inchers.

    i would use 1 inch. You can but just the tips. They are cheap. Its worth a couple dollars to do it correctly
