    25 g to the glut ?

    Is it alright to use a 1" 25g pin to inject into the glute, does it depend on body fat %.....or should i just stick with the 23g 1.5" ??

    It is dependant upon BF % unless you have very low BF I would stick with a 1.5 inch needle for glutes.....

    Also, with the 25gauge it can be really hard to push the solution through the syringe if it is very thick. I think I would stick to a 23guage on an area like the glute, unless someone else is pushing it in. Its really hard to reach around and push with much pressure when youre doing it yourself.

    I dont mind it on places like my biceps since I can get the right angle to push hard enough, its easy. Pushing the plunger on your butt though is a whole different story, and I would fine myself getting cramps trying to twist around since it was taking minutes to push it all in. Guess Im not very flexible!

    I've only used 25g x 1", and never had any problems whatsoever.

    I"m using 25's with 1.5" and 2CC total. a smaller guage would take forever. use the larger guage and just take your time. Ramming the solution can cause pretty bad pain a couple days later.
