I would advise you to use a 23g 1 1/2" needle for glutes.

Yeah a 1" will work, just make sure you push it in as far as you can. If you get a knot in the fat that last for a few days to a week, that means its not going far enough in.

It can be sufficient, depending on glutes...fatty or lean.
If you're not having any problems, then it's fine.

But like LNT, most prefer 1.5''

A knot in the fat? What do you mean by that?

[bigmatt33]

I'm not sure what you guys call it but a couple of times when I was new I didn't put the needle in far enough. The oil was just sitting in my fat. It created something like a lump and after a week or so it went away. The lump was in the fat and I could move it around.

When I inject into a new muscle or use new gear sometimes I notice a little swelling in that muscle. I'm guessing that it is something similar to that but in the fat.

I never, ever use anything longer than 1 inch in the glutes. I dont have much fat there though. If you are husky back there, 1.5 might be your best option. I use 25 gauge as well. Smaller the better for me! I use 5/8" 25 ga everywhere else. Good luck!

I use 23g 1" everywhere. Never had a problem

[beans14]

Makes sense, good to know. Ill make sure to keep an eye out for that if it ever happens to me

[jarudd23]

I use 22g 1.5 for every spot with no problems.

I just started pinning and use a 23ga 1".

Might be a stupid question but is it possible to go too deep and possible hit bone?

If you can hit a bone with a 1" needle you either completely missed your injection spot or you probably shouldnt be doing AAS yet

That's not what I said, it was just a question. Say you used an 1.5" needle on your delt. A shoulder joint even though you can't see it is fairly large.

But hey, thanks for the help dhriscerr

[clarky.]

I use a 23 gauge 1inch in my glutes with no probs

It would be possible to hit bone in the delt area I guess. But if you hit bone in the glute I'd start worrying.
