    needles

    I've been using a 23 gauge by 3/4 long needle for my cycle of prop. Is that to shot of a needle or does it not make a difference? I see a lot of people use a 1 inch or inch and a half.

    Depends on where you are injecting
    I use a 25g 1" for all injections but I do not inject glutes (too difficult to reach)

    glutes are too hard for you to reach? with a 1.5inch pin there should be no problem

    3/4 seems pretty short, guess it really just depends how lean you are. You want to make sure you get it into the muscle. 1 inch would prob be better but like i said depends on how lean you are

    Thigh injections: 25-gauge 1-inch long needles.
    Deltoid injections: 25-gauge 1-inch long needles.

    i just buy 25g 1.5 in and use them for all injections everywhere. if i need it shorter i dont have to go in all the way. plus 25g develop less scar tissue in my experience than even 23's and you dont have to bother switching pins or ordering different sizes. i do recommend ordering like 21 g's for draw needles though sometimes it takes a while to draw with a 25 vs. 21g.

    You need an 1" min and thats for delts,,biceps,,thighs. For glutes you need 1.5"

    I use an 18 gauge cannon and just fire that puppy right into the quads....kidding No I use an 18g to draw from and a 23 1-1/2 inch to inject in the quads. I guess it's what ever works for you and your comfortable with as long as you get it deep enough into the muscle so it doesnt seep back out. Some use the Z-Track method, I don't.
