    Needle size, inch or 5/8 ?

    SO for spot injections like triceps,biceps,delts,lats,traps which do you think is a better size pin to use.
    either the one inch, or the smaller size 5/8 .

    I have both sizes, and have tried both, but worried the 5/8 may be a bit to small to fully enter the muscle. I am pretty lean though so prob is ok.

    Which size do you all use?

    Piss on lat injects, too many nerves. I use 5/8" on tris/bis, 1" on delts

    1". Nothing I hate more than seeing my precious juice dribble out post-inject from not going deep enough.

    I've used 1/2" slin pins before with bis, but I'd rather go with 1".

    you say piss on lats due to amount of nerves, but do you know we have as many in biceps as lats?
    I have checked this out,

    Biceps are just as dangerous as lats, lots of nerves/vains.

    Holy shit dude, why so big. Or is this normal and I'm just a puss. 25ga. is as big as I'll go. And I really don't like going that big. Normally it's 27ga.

    I know it takes a little longer maybe, but I'm never sore after an injection.
