Injection question

[johnny the blade]

I currently inject 80mg test E once per week using a 25g 1" needle. Is it possible I could use a 25g 5/8"? I do delt injections only.

Are you intending on IM or subQ? 5/8 or 1/2 is a typical length for subQ injection.

To get IM with that short a needle you need to be very lean and have nothing but skin above the muscle at the injection site.

Consider a 27ga 1/2" and inject wherever you like. It'll disperse just fine. You're not injecting large volume.

Thanks guys. I do I.M. Injections. The reason I asked is because that's the needle size and length my Endo rx'd for me, with a 3ml syringe. I did my injection yesterday and everything seemed fine. Just hopin the 5/8" is plenty to get in the muscle (delt). I'm not tremendously lean but I am "diet conscious" and workout pretty hard so there's not much fat there I guess. Also if I'm using 200mg/ML what line should I go to on the 3ml syringe to get 80mgs. I was doing 100mg per week which was the 1/2ML mark but recently switched due to elevated hematocrit/RBC. Thanks again.

Each line should be 20mgs.

Thanks Kel. Appreciate the help.
