    Pin size/injection site?

    I'm about to start my 1st cycle and I'm not sure what I should get for pins. Size legnth/G, quantity, etc.
    Also I'm not sure about injection sites. If I'm injecting 2x a week should I be injecting in other places than the glutes? Here's the cycle I will be doing:

    Week 1-11 400mg/wk test Enathate
    Week 1-10 400mg/wk EQ
    Week 1-4 40mg dbol

    .25mg/ day armidex
    Novadex on had as welll as Clomid.

    Thanks for any help guys.

    You can inject lots of places.
    If your b/f is alittle bit high i would say go w/ a 23 g inch and a half pin for the glue. If not go w/ a inch pin.
    It's easier to draw w/ a smaller g needle like a 20 g. But then you have to switch pins before u shoot.
    I personally only use a 23 g inch and a half for everything. Just don't stick it in all the way if your injecting into you shoulder etc.
    Also you can mix the Enth & Eq in the same shot
    Go here if you wanna see where u can inject.

    1 inch is good for anywhere. 1 1/2 is good for the glutes, too

    Thanks guys, I'm thinking 23gauge 1 Inch and to rotate between the glutes and delts. Is a 3cc syringe enough? or should I go bigger?

    3cc's is fine. You really don't want to put any more than 3cc's into one site at a time.

    i really think 1.5 is best for glutes. everything else is good for 1" its a large group and can handle it. that way your not worried about getting far enough into the muscle.

    What if all I have are 1.5" pinz and I wanted to inject somewhere besides glutes. Could I just not stick the pin all the way in?

    you sure can, most of the time in my calves i dont stick all 1" in. i may go 5/8ths or so.

    just stick it in how far you need and dont touch the needle with your fingers. you will be just fine.

    General rule of thumb for length, regardless of the needle's gauge: 1" for delts and quads, 1-1/2" for glutes (because the glutes have more fatty tissue to go through until you get into the muscle).

    (Keep in mind, however, that most 1-1/2" pins are 22 gauge, which is a bit thick to do a quad shot comfortably. Nonetheless, you can use the length anywhere, providing you stick to the above guideline on how far to stick the needle in. I would be wary of using 5/8" needles, since you want to go intramuscular - into deep muscle, regardless of where you inject.)
