    Injection Question

    Hey, this is my second cycle and I will be injection Test Enanthate. My friend who would do my injections last time will be away for a few weeks so I plan on injection myself. In the past I have only injected in the glutes but since im doing it myself I am going to use the deltoid, I wanted to ask what gauge I should be using 22 or 23? and how long the diameter of the needle should be. Thanks in advance.

    25g are almost painless, but I find it almost impossible to push the oil out. I did a tricep injection today and it took almost a whole minute.

    I use 23 1" for delts and quads.And 22 1 1/2" for glutes.Doing it your self is the very best way,you will get use to it.You need more sites than just delts.Good luck.

    Yea, I talked to my brother today and he hates 25g's he said it took him 2 minutes to finish the injection. I tried getting my hands on some 23's but no dice on that one. I just got some 22g 1" so hopefully there wont be a problem.

    Why you not shooting your glutes yourself?

    It wont be a problem just a little more pain. I use 25" for just about all my shots

    Go for the quads too man. A 25g 1" will do the trick also. Very easy to do yourself and I've never had a problem with them always been painless. As for people saying it takes longer for the oil to go in with a 25g well.. IMO the slower the better. What's the rush? I find the faster I shoot the oil in the more it hurts but that's just my opinion. Good luck. Cheers.

    definitely...

    and i don't know how accurate this is, but if you're watering a plant, do you slowly pour the water in, or do you dump the whole bucket on it?

    maybe it doesn't matter, but that is what logic is dictating to me haha

    I don't know how you guys do it with 25g, it already takes long enough with 23g and it's already painless, so I don't see the point.
