Is 1 Inch needle too long for deltoid?

[VenicePump]

You know I have been using 1 inch for deltoids in the past, but that just seems too long. I am wondering if I should use half inch or 3/4 inch pin. I just think 1 inch would like hit the bone. I don't think I ever have, but just seems long. Because the deltoid muscle is not near as big as your glute.

What do you guys think?

[Zoey101Fan]

no..

[VenicePump]

no..

Ok why when I press on my skin hard enough. I can feel my bone. It just seems like it's super close. I guess I would know if I hit the bone.

[Zoey101Fan]

well then don't stick it in all the way.

As long as it makes it under the skin, it's fine. Pip might make you cry if it's too shallow lawl

What is PIP?

I guess you do have good point. The first day I injected was in front of my doctor. I said stick it all the way, he is like yes. But I think sticking it in half way is fine. Because I seriously believe it's int he muscle by then.

PIP=post injection pain.

If you inject too shallow, you will feel it the day after you pin haha. You're still getting the steroids though. Just try different depths. For me 1 inch is fine for delts.

What happens if the juice does not go into the muscle and it goes somewhere else. I highly doubt that will happen. As I imagine your muscle are like big and round. So it would be hard to miss it or go through it all the way or whatever... But what would happen?

I think I am going to start injecting in other areas. Because I have had two people tell me they noticed me limp every once and awhile. And I been injecting in my right glute two times a week. I cannot figure out what they are talking about because I feel fine. My right glute is a little bit sore, nothing major of course. But when two people ask you what's wrong with your leg or if your in pain it makes you wonder...

I just got done writing about this at Injecting in glute (and limp few days after?)

1" is fine for delts...

I find if you don't stick a needle in the whole way, once you have aspirated the chances of that needle being in the same spot is rather low, I did come up with something to prevent this if you can't go out and get smaller pins, what I used to do with my 1.5 for my thighs is I would take an old needle cap, I would then cut off the desired ammount off the top of the cap leaving the ammount of needle you wish to pin with exposed, you can then push all the way to the skin with out the risk of pulling pushing the needle in and out while injecting.

Dude you are way too high. Medial delt. I'm not qualified to.give instruction but proper im technique for deltoid can easily be found via google etc.

[austinite]

use a 5/8 is you're hitting bone. I wonder if you're too skinny and should not be injecting anything.

I stick that sucka with a 23g, 1-1/2 goes tru like butter

As long as its under the skin it will be absorbed eventually

I do 1 for delts

[ChiveOn]

1s for delts are perfect.

[slfmade]

1" 25g for me

[tdoe11]

1 inch for me in the delts. Although a 1.5 works to.

[Buster Brown]

1 inch always works for delts and tri's.

Yea I was just checking out spotinjections.com.

25 Gauge, 1.0 inch is ideal for injections into the quads and can be used for all spot injections.

25 Gauge, 5/8 inch is often used for tricep/bicep/delts

[Alright john]

3/4 Pin

[evan_2k]

1 inch 23g is my choice for delts. Go smaller if needed, then when you put some meat on them bones move back up to 1". I do my hcg in my delts and test e in my glutes, using 1.5 inch 23g.

If you hit bone with a 1inch needle, you have absolutely no muscle or bf.
