Safe needle lengths for different muscle groups?

[johnnymctrance]

Can someone tell me what needle lengths are safe to use in the different muscles?

Quads?
Delts?
Etc

I have always used a 26gauge 1 inch pin for every site all the time. I have been doing this for years and never had any issues.

So there wouldnt be a possibilty of going in to far or too little with a needle no?

[johnnymctrance]

I have only pinned glutes before, and used a 1.25inch needle but just curious about the other injection sites!

it's not based on muscle group it's based on mass. The muscle choice is only pertinent to how many ml you are using.

Oh right, so what if someone towards the lighter end of the scale?

I use 23g 1 1/2" for everything.


I don't bury the needle 1 1/2" into my pec..... I leave about 1/2" out when I inject. I guess I just like to have a long enough needle just incase I need the length.

1" should work for most groups..... With exception to glutes in which I'd say 1 1/2".

Regarding gauge..... I use no smaller than 23g. It's hard enough to push the oil in using that...... Anything smaller and it's take me 5-6 minutes to inject.

So one wouldnt need to worry about touching the bone with the tip of the needle when doing a small muscle group?

if your under 120 lbs then I'd worry about bone in your delt, but any male using injectables should already be at a higher weight before even thinking about using. 1" is good for all muscles except for glutes, 1.5 is recommended for glutes and if your over 220 lbs you should be using a minimum of 1.5" in all.
anything over 1 ml should go into your thigh/glutes
as for guage size 25 and lower is good.

I have been injecting for many, many years. It is a personal choice. Common sense , you can see your delts and if you are a like most ecto's or middle weights it's a good idea to use a 1" although I have been having success with a 25G x 5/8" for water based injections. In my glutes I always want a deep injection so I use a 222G or 23G 1" min to 1-1/2 ". In my quads , and me being a middle weigh I use 1" length. This is both oil and water. ...crazy mike


PS: if you are under 12o lbs. you probably shouldn't be injecting steroids ....yet if not seasoned. ...cm

Thanks for the advice man! ps. who even mentioned anybody at 120lb was trying to do injectables anyway lol

[ninjaman85]

I did because that's the only time I have been concerned with hitting my patients bones in the delt lol it was an example meat heads :P

25gauge X 5/8 for all sites, triceps,delts,pecs,glutes,quads. And just to add it 30gauge X 1/2 for all peptides. These seem to work the best for me.

[ninjaman85]

bro quit being a vagina, @ 5/8" your probably only getting 3/4 of your oil. You need full submersion into muscle tissue for maximum absorption. Just say your scared of the 1" lol

This is bunk...What peptides, are you injecting. ...crazy mike
