    1" Pins - universal?

    I recently started HRT and they sent 1" pins for the injections. I'm used to using 1-1/2 for glutes, 5/8 for delts, and 1" for quads. They claim that the 1" can be used for all of these sites. My bf% is low, about 13, and I'd think this would be great if it is true. What is your opinion, can a 1" pin be used in all three injection sites effectively? (disregarding gage of course for the discussion)

    I've used 1" on all sites. When my bf was higher I used 1.5" for glutes but I do fine with 1" now.

    Thanks IGB. It seems pretty logical anyway... as long as you're not sporting lots of fat (i'm not). But that 1" in the delt sounds kinda scary... lol!

    Nah, if you've got some meat on your delts it's fine.

    why dont you buy 1.5 inch, then use as much of it as needed? you can just put 5/8 of an inch of the needle in when doing delts. and only 1 in. when hitting quads then all the way when hittting glutes.
