    1 inch needle okay for glutes?

    Read in the q and a that it suffices but have been told conflicting things

    I am quite lean about 12% bf at maxShould I go up to a 1.25 just in case?


    If it doesn't get into the muscle does that mean the test is wasted completely and ill get no gains?

    And does the smaller needle hurt less?

    Only done 1 pin so still new to all this. Intend to alternate left and right glute the entire cycle but just want more opinions if 1 inch is enough

    Yes. But 1.5 is better.

    I prefer 1.5" for glutes. However with a low enough BF 1" should be suffice as long as you are getting it deep. 1.5" is more intimidating than 1" if you haven't used it before. It doesn't hurt more.

    And in the event that I don't get in the muscle and it's just subq does that mean its completely wasted test?

    No. Nothing is wasted. It will absorb slower and you will probably have a nasty and very uncomfortable lump.

    That doesn't mean anything. Fat doesn't reside evenly across the body.
