Thread: Pinning with 25g 5/8th

    Pinning with 25g 5/8th

    Tried a 25g 5/8th needle in the shoulder today and it went really smooth. Only thing, the area is a bit more swollen than when I use a 1 inch needle. The 1" needle leaves my shoulder in pain about 4 hours after pinning and I also get a very noticeable pain when I stretch almost immediately after.

    Can I stay with 5/8th for shoulder area or is it better to use 1"? The one incher puts the oils deeper but the annoying pain after. Okay which is better ?

    I use only 5/8th for shoulder. Actually I use it everywhere.
    Although I guess it depends on how much are you pinning. I never go over 2ml in shoulder.

    I guess it comes down to bodyfat. Judging by your Avi that's not a problem. For me personally it's 1" minimum for any muscle. Might want to pm Kelkel, this was brought up not too long ago and I believe it all boiled down to the effectiveness depended on your bodyfat level .

    Pinned 5/8th this morning and didn't have great experience. The Tren with 5/8th pin burned like crazy. Seems that Tren needs to go deeper in for me to avoid that burn.

    Everytime I seem to think I found a comfortable way it just doesn't work the same the next time. Smh. The Test is smooth at any pin. The deeper I go though the discomfort last for 1-2 and focks up my workout. Grrrr

    never tried oils with such a short needle, but, it should be OK for less than 1ml. If its swollen, probably you got some oil subq.

    ah sorry, I messed it up with the inches to cm conversión. I always use 5/8th inch needle, never had an issue, if you're under 12% BF you're good to go. it should enter deep enough.
    what I never tried is the 1/4 inch, except for plain hormone subq.
