help with needle size

[Nuzzi]

unsure about what size needle to use this time, last cycle i used 23g x1", i think a 25g would be a better choice but im not sure if i need 1, 1.25 or 1.5" length. using it with test e. this will be for glute shots, other areas ill stick with 1". im pretty lean so i dont know if i really need 1.5", is 1.25" common? thanks

i use 25 1" fine for most places for me .

1.5" for glutes preferred as you need to get deep in the muscle. 1" is fine for all other sites. I prefer 23 gauge but 25's are popular as well.

i use 25g but 23g will work. 25g just takes a little longer to push it all in, but less painful in my opinion.

25 gauge 1 inch

I use a 1" 23g for everything
perfect size

^^^^So you mean that the having to use a 1.5'' for the glutes is a myth and 1'' is enough ?

I use 23g 1 1/2".

i wouldnt say you have to. depends on how much of a fat ass you are. I use a 1 inch

Exactly....

I have only ever done one Test P shot that was Sub Q (with a slin pin) and trust me you know if the shot has not gone IM

I had a golf ball in my stomach for about 4 weeks where I had pinned the test P.....

So when I now pin glutes with a 1 inch I am pretty sure i am going IM because I dont get this big swelling up like it did when i did a sub q shot....


Just bury the pin and you will be g2g unless your a complete fat ass.... in that case I would head over to the diet section anyway

well said, experience over all

[JimmySidewalk]

Aha, good to know. My ass isnt fat, i'm pretty lean overall. Good to know tho'. I'll give it a try with a 1'' on my next cycle.. which will be test p and tren, so if its not enough, i'll feel the golf-tren-prop sized ball according to you and will know that 1'' is not enough

[Nuzzi]

i never got the ball under the skin but it was definately painfull every time for several days, and swolen.

what I was getting at was that there is no need to bury the needle deep into the muscle

people think once your gear lands in the subcutaneous it's useless

gear absorbs equally efficiently when injected subq

If your doing glutes go 1.5"...else where you can get by with 1"
