Needle length

[tinymuscles]

So i’ve been using 25g 1” needles…. but recently my friend introduced me to 5/8” needles. I LOVE THEM!Maybe it’s just a physiological thing. The question is… does it matter that they’re shorter, or as my girlfriend would say, deeper the better?

Depends on bodyfat level. If 12% or less I use 3/4 inch for delts and quads, but still 0ne one inch for glutes. If using shorter needles do a Z track injection just to be safe.

That seems short

Depends on your size, I suppose

I was using 1” forever, but my supplier had a huge sale on 1.25”, so I’ve been using those for quite a while now

I’m smaller build for sure. More so curious to know if it’s useless if it isn’t deep enough or if it doesn’t matter at all

Well crap. I'm using 1/2" in quads. lol No issues so far that I know of. I mean its going in the muscle, so shouldn't be an issue, right?

Man I use 1/2” 30 gauge needles for my delts just fine and I’m probably 15% bf right now. Delts don’t hold much fat anyhow. I haven’t don’t doses over .5 mL with this setup, but I’ve done up to 3 mL with 5/8” 25 G. I did get pretty bad pip at times but it could have been the compounds and volume. Maybe the more volume, the longer the needle.

Ok cool. I'm using 1/2" 25gauge in quads and seems fine to me. But after reading this I really looked hard to see how much fat I do have there. I usually don't carry kuch fat on my legs.....torso mainly so I think I'm good.

30 gauge! It seems like it takes for ever to push 1ml out the 25 gauge I'm using.

I use 1/2 for delts and 1” everywhere else.
