    Im not a expert but Im pretty sure the gauge is just the thickness of the needle. I personally use 25g. The higher the gauge the the thinner the needle.

    standard size for the glute is 23g X 1.5 inch ...or at least the general consensus.

    The smaller the gage the easier it is to inject (administers faster). I like 21g x 1.5 inch for glutes. 23g or 25g by 1" is good for quads.

    you need to bump your carbs not enough there man...


    gauge is thickness....

    18-25 for injections of oil. i personally use 23 gauge by 1.5 inches glutes, 25g by inch for quads and delts, 25g by 5/8 for pec and calves....

    23gauge 1.5 inch for me, the glutes are thirsty for a big needle.

    5000 carbs a day man? Are you also eating 2500 grams of protein a day? Seems a bit in excess mi amigo

    I use 25 guage for the glute, I feel it is somewhat lean.

    actually that 22 gauge just looks really big and I dont even think my ass is big enough for it..

    Same here, I'm not sure I'd want to use shorter than a 1.5 on the glutes.

    As for needle gauge, 23 vs 25, use whatever you are most comfortable with. 23 is faster than 25, but this isn't a race, and generally the slower the inject, the higher the chances that it'll be painless. I usually try to inject no faster than 1cc per minute.

    i think glutes the shortest you should go would be 1" if your VERY LEAN.,,and I prefer 1 1/4"
