Help with glute injections!

**Cody95** · 02-12-2014, 06:07 PM

Hi guys, i was wondering, is a 1" 25G needle long enough for glute injections? That' is all i have and can get ATM and i've been injecting quads ED and can no longer inject there. Also what will happen if you inject into fat? Will it still be absorbed as good as in muscle?

**ickythump** · 02-12-2014, 06:15 PM

You want to inject far. I had to use a longer needle than that, but that's because I have fat on my glutes no matter how thin I am, I would have to be literally stage ready, I have what dr's call a ghetto a$$.

Alright, is it okay to use a 1" needle? Like will it still work without a 1.5". Or am i screwed.

What's your bf%. 1.5 is better but 1" is ok if your bf is low enough.

13%, Could i just put pressure on it to make it go in farther.

Ideally you should leave some of the needle showing. If you go all the way to the Ed of the needle and it accidentally broke off, removing it would be a much bigger problem.

Don't cut corners.

13% is ok IF you know for certain you are 13%. The majority of people always overestimate their body fat because they simply don't know what 10-15% looks like and how 10% is a very big difference from 15%.

Alright, well i'm not going to take a chance so i guess ill try delts. Going to have to order some 1.5" off Ebay. Another question this might sound stupid, i'm doing 100mg Test prop ED but can i switch to 1.75Mg EOD till i get the 1.5" so i don't do what i did to my quads to my delts, meaning Injecting ED switching off and causing a big problem.

**ickythump** · 02-12-2014, 07:00 PM

Well, your numbers are off lol but I know what you mean, but if you want to avoid hitting repetitive spots until you get the 1.5"'s then yea, prop lasts like 3 days, but I'd say not to go more than 2 days, from charts (with possibly debatable accuracy I'll venture) it seems to taper down swiftly after 2 days. But, I am no scientist, and they could be broscience charts lol

**ickythump** · 02-12-2014, 07:01 PM

Right, you meant can you do every other instead of every day for now??

**Cody95** · 02-12-2014, 07:06 PM

Yes i am wanting to do EOD till i get my needles for glutes, so i don't overdue it on the delts, then ill go back to ED or should i stay with the EOD? Sorry if this is confusing

At 18 you probably have a fair amount of your fat on your ass still, of course at 18 its also likely that you weigh 150 pounds or less (a person at 13% bf who weighs 250 will need a longer needle than someone at 13% who weighs 130) so you may or may not be fine with a 1 inch needle. I am 6.1 and 198 and do fine with a 1 in glutes however I do not have much fat at all on my ass being 58 its found its way to my lower abs.

However I would be remiss in not mentioning another factor, at 18 regardless of needle length AAS usage is a really bad idea. If you are for sure positioned to go pro in body building or some other sport that AAS usage will not be a problem then its still a bad idea but you have to weigh future earnings against a damaged HPTA. However if you are doing it to get bigger or improve your athletic performance for a school sport....its a really bad idea.

Just my 2 cents,

Carry on

Well ATM i weigh 164, i've been training for almost 6 years sense i was 13 so i have quite a bit of experience, very clean diet, count my macros everyday so i don't over eat or under eat. TBH my Bf probably went up a little sense i haven't checked it in about a month "Stupid" and i am bulking ATM, i don't look fat at all though my parents say i look really bulked, lol. Doing 700Mg a wk Test prop alone, 3500Kcal "Clean" a day, workout 6days a wk. I know it's a bad decision, but what's done is done. Also aware it might ruin my future, but eh life doesn't mean much to me, so might as well enjoy it as much as i can.

Also another question if someone could answer. My dad was wondering is there any good test boosters out there for a 54 year old?

Simple answer, no. Most suppress natural test levels which is not good. Some require pct. Best bet is for him to get a physical including full BW. A good example of BW is in the Finding A Doc Sticky in the HRT Forum.

**Cody95** · 02-12-2014, 08:52 PM

Alright, thank you.

I've heard people mention this, but try as I might, and I have tried, I can't get a needle to break off. How would that happen?
I always sink all the way in. I find aspiration much easier, and more accurate, and have an easier time steadying the needle.

In 18 years of injecting meds I've never broken a needle.....but I have 18 years experience

The ONLY time I could see it happening, is if it was manufactured poorly, but I don't want my fingers no matter how clean touching it sms testing it's rigidity, so you do have that to worryabout...most cases, not gonna happen OP, but you can't be positive it won't, errors in production happen in everything!!
