    25gx5/8 needle?

    My doc usually supplies me with 25x1 but this last time he have me 25x5/8. I emailed him and voiced my concern about not getting deep enough even though quads are lean. He said even with high bf and only getting in subcutaneously is fine. I know you can do either but what's the differance if any? When I cycle larger amounts of compounds I use 25x1 to make sure to get into muscle but small trt amounts I'm not sure if it actually matters all that much?

    Something similar crossed my mind as well recently. From a TRT standpoint, as long as you are injecting .6ml or less, it shouldn't be a problem at all. Some people have experienced a slight difference in test levels between IM and subq injections. However, I've never seen a huge fluctuation, so its hard to determine if it was the different injection causing the difference in test levels.

    If you are really concerned, you can always try injecting into different locations. 5/8" needles work well in biceps, triceps, lats and traps. But again, you should be ok. You can always buy other needles yourself.

    Yes I actually do order my own due to the fact that I use more than is allotted when running short esters but I was just curious about subway versus intramuscular. I think I read the same thing before about not much of a difference.

    I've done biceps before but usually rotate delts and quads.
