[steveg]

Im using a 25 x 1 in my glute,with test.I am experiencing a bit more pain than expected.Is that the right size needle,it hurts for a few days and cant sit down much!!!!Any help is greatly appreciated1

you got it- unless you have a little body fat(or hold you fat on your ass- I do) then maybe go to 1.5 inch to ensure you are getting it in the muscle.
I always shot with a 23 g on any area that I can not get a good posistion on. I do this so the shot is faster and I dont move the needle around. I use a 23 on my ass and lats

1" is a little short for glutes, try 1.5" it could also be the gear causing the pain.

Do u think goin 2 a longer needle would be better,it seems that would hurt worse u know!I shot deca 2 yrs ago and i jus dont remember it being this uncomfortable!Hey thanx again?

More than likely its virgin muscle pain. I would go with the 1.5" because it gets deeper in the muscle. 25 gauge is not big by any means. I use 23s and have no pain.
So if the pain continues with every shot, more than likely its due to your gear

wait you have run cycles before and are running one now at your size?

You are no where near ready to be doing steroids

25gauge is not that big. I'm on dialysis and have to stick myself every night with 2 - 15gauge 1" needles.

I have been on for way too long with way too much stuff. I shoot at least 2 cc a day(for the last 6 months). I still get on occasion get the bad shot and it hurts for days.

I think at 6 ft and 155 you would not have much fat on your ass and a 1 inch would be ok. like someone eles said virgin muscles. it the pain continues it may be your stuff. maybe cut it with some b12. b12 makes me hungry so it may be a bonus in regards to food consumption

ok gotcha,hey thanx for all u guys input,i will keep up on it and any other questions i will ask.thanx for the help again!!
