    yes that is good for shoulder injections

    as far as glute injections, if you have reasonably low bf% and push the 1" in all the way, you will be ok...

    i use 25g x 1" for both those sites

    That is exactly what I use for ALL my injections... 23g x 1" Glute, Delt, Quad, Ventroglute (sp) ,


    Just put the sucker in all the way and try not to break it off!

    Cripey, unless you're injecting on a motorbike, breaking off should never be a problem!

    I use 21g x 1" for shoulders, 1.5" for glutes is better recommended IMO.

    Depends on BF% when injecting.... Most should use a 1.5 inch for glutes..
