    Question 5/8" gauge needle

    hello, i was able to get my syringes and needles are only 5/8" inch long (25 gauge). Is it possible to inject sustanon with this length. i've read that an 1" was usually the minimum. thanks for the help if you can offer it.

    Question

    damn, i had a lot of pain afte i did quad injection recently that i was hoping to just hit the glutes from now on. My leg was sore for 4-5 days, but it went away (thank God). I was worried i had hit a nerve, but i went by the diagram and injected properly, but still had residual pain for the time period stated. first day was okay, but the days 2 and 3 sucked, and it got increasingly better on days 4-5.

    im just afraid if i hit my delts, pecs, or biceps that i will have the same results. everytime i've hit the glutes, i've never had pain, even with a 1.5" needle (almost all the way in).

    You wont be able to inject deep enough into your glutes with a 5/8", and its a stretch with your quads.

    Delts are no big deal, IMO they are one of the easiest places to pin.

    okay thanks. i will get my wife to hit my delts if i get up the nerve. however, i just found out i can get 23 gauge 1" which i will go to the glutes. i'm afraid of hitting my quads again.

    so i will use the 5/8" for delts and the 1" in my glutes. is the one inch long enough. my stats are 5'11 190 lbs. 15% bf 27yo

    If you inject too shallow, then you can get some leakage and possibley develope an abcess. If you inject into fat, it will absorb, but much slower, and you can lose potency.

    1" is better, but I would recommend getting some 1.5" when you get the chance.

    Are you having trouble getting pins?

    i can get 1" now, but 1.5" i can't get. i think the 1" i get should be okay, but im not a pro. i'll keep you updated.

    depends on ur skin type and mass i hear.. for me 5/8 is good for the delts... 1 inch to 1.5 for the glutes and quads

    5/8" is not deep enough for any AAS injection IMO. I wouldn't go less then 1".

  14. #14
    I do 1" in the delts and 1 1/2 in the glutes. Both 23g. I Havnt experienced any problems on either area.

    how much does the gauge of the needle matter? could you use 25g at 1 1/2 for the glutes or nothing under 23g?

    Usually you would use between 25 and 23, depending on the thickness of the compound.

    I dont use anything bigger than 23g. Once the pin starts getting as big around as ANY of my fingers I draw the line (obviously the pins are not that big, but you know what I mean.)

    5/8" is PLENTY for the delt unless you have a HUGE ass delt.... or really fatty one... but for me or someone being 15% or less bf.... I'd say 5/8" is perfectly fine for the delt... that's all I use on delts.. I also use 5/8" on the quads.... but if your quads aren't lean I would go for 1"...... 5/8" works fine for me on quads / delts though... just depends on the user I guess

    No,,,I wouldnt use them.
    AAS are meant to be injected DEEP IM.
    Use at least 1" minimum pins.

    Hit the side delt with the 5/8", I have a testosterone doctors recommendation of getting better results with delt injections. I trust him a lot more then all the broscience doctors we hear so much from. I still have the email he sent my friend(Its my friends dr im not on trt). I told a guy in the gym when we were talking about needles. I told him i use 5/8" and he was saying u need at least 1". I told him it was doctor recommended and of course he came me the famous "Doctors don't know anything" line. Ya I think they might know a thing or two lol

    It all depends on how lean one is... Someone at 15% shouldnt use anything under an 1"23-25g... However if like PetrX who is at 10% could easily pin his delts w/5/8"... Do I recommend it - No - I would stay w/1" throughout all sites(as I just started runnin prop - so if pinning ed make sure your rotating between 6 sites as this will lesson scar tissue at Inj site! My .02...

    I've never pinned anywheres but glutes with a 5/8 25 guage and not once ever had a problem. But I am very lean.

  26. #26
    Glutes is the only sight that I go with a 1". Everywhere else, I use 5/8". Not to say that I haven't used 1" in my quads. I just prefer the 5/8"... Gotta be lean, though.

    I just started doing my glute. I had 1 1" pin that I used the first time but all my other ones are 5/8" I been using them I just relax the muscle and push hard against the skin. im easily getting deeper then a 1" just touching the skin by pressing. You only need to press an extra 5/16" which is nothing.

    Ya i figured this was not a problem, id rather use 1" if I had them but 5/8" is fine seeing as I have a crap load of them.

    Based on your posts you are very immature... but you set up yourself up for it with your remarks! No need for it... We're all trying to be of help to one another and so far your way isn't a positive one!
