    Pharmacy Gave Me 25G 5/8" Needles

    My first round of test cyp was with 23G 1.5" needles. I just filled a new script and didn't think to check the needles... I just got home and now see that they are 25G 5/8" needles (thinner, shorter).

    I only pin in my quads - are these going to be effective or do I need to take them back for 23G or 25G 1.5" needles? I have a lean muscular build, so I'm not sticking through a bunch of fat to get down deep into my quad.

    Advice appreciated!

    (FWIW, I use 18G to fill - I only push with the smaller needles)

    For IM you need the longer needle.

    You can get away with 1" easily if your BF is not too high.

    But bring those back. They are definitely too short for the average AAS user.

    Dr gordon gave me the 5/8-25g they work fine for me. i was thinking to go try 29g next. he says that if you have muscular legs and no fat.. see how they work.

    It definitely depends on your BF. 5/8" is definitely enough for me to do anywhere except maybe my glutes.

    Push comes to shove, run down to the drug store and get some insulin pins, and start pinning your protocol via subQ.

    FYI, 1" are usually good for the quads, 1-1/2" in the glutes, and 1/2"-5/8" in the delts.

    I used 1 inch in my quads and delts. Delts would easily work for 5/8 if you are not fat.

    Quads would be a lot more iffy. If you were lean you could get away with it. No real harm we know of, anyways, if you go subQ.

    I've used 1/2 inch 25g for years, even in the glutes....no problems.

    1/2 inch works, 1 inch is preferable.
