1" needles okay for glutes?

[FmrMarine]

The title says it all. I only have 1" needles. Am I good to go in the glutes, or should I try another site?

Depends how lean you are. If you are single digit bodyfat, you are ok. But, ideally 1.25" is minimum. Even when Im lean I use a 1.5 and leave about .25" out in case of a needle break. 1" is great for delts, quads etc.

[sigman roid]

I use 1.5 " 23g

[redz]

I think 1" is a little short unless your bf is ultra low. 1.5" is recomended.

[tballz]

I use 1.5" for all spots.

[Knockout_Power]

I use 1.5 " 23g

Im a pussE... I use 25g

[dec11]

ditto on the 1.5"

i have the same problem concerning only have access to 1" needles. i have used in the glutes, but made sure i didn't pull out too fast and hold compression for about 1-2 minutes.

does anyone know if their is an abrorption problem if you only use a 1" for glutes?

[smiler]

1" is fine. if your not fat, say over 10% i even use 5/8" in delts often. but i keep it to 25 gauge and inject very slow

[Bossman]

Im using 1" for all injects, but it's pretty easy to determine by just grabbing a piece of ass and seeing how much fat you have. You want the injection deep as possible, can it even make it past the fat you pinch?

[dock holliday]

sorry to bother you again, but if it goes in fat, does it get properly absorbed?

[c-Z]

No. It is for IM injections. Not fat injection.

Just use a 1 1/2 and u wont have any problems.

[dock holliday]

okay thanks c-z. i will soon be ordering longer needles and liquid arimidex from the ar-r site.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I inject test cyp for TRT once a week in my quad with a 1" 23ga needle. No problems at all and I'm around 30% body fat. I prefer the 1". The 1.5" just seemed like I might tickle my femur with it some day.

[dock holliday]

can i ask why you need TRT? i may learn something here.

[THORSZ]

1" is fine unless you have a lot of BF. I have done it with no problem.

Quad is fine to use 1" pins on, most ppl use the 1.5 just so they have a little slack left sticking out in case the needle were to break off and you can just pull it out with ur fingers. I've also only got 1" pins and was going to do my next injection in my glute cause the sust is too painful in the quads. :s

I would go with 1.5
AAS are meant to be injected deep IM.

thank you for saying that. i did sustanon in my quads and had pain for 4 days. i thought i hit a nerve after awhile, but later concluded that because i didn't have any pain at the time of injection, it may have just been the suspension penetrating on nerves. thats why i don't ever want to go back into quads again.

i was going to do sustanon e.o.d. til that happened, but now after that, im just hitting the glutes every 4 days. that chit scared me. i couldn't workout legs for almost a week it was so bad.

[B1gDaddy]

Haha i hear ya man. I still manage to work up the courage to go to the gym but its very painful to sit down stand up sit down stand up over an over again, but i still lost 2lbs this week with no cardio

I'd rather take the glute injection with 1" pins and be able to do cardio an workout at my hardest an live my life normally than be a cripple for a week lol, just about at the end of day 3 an the pain isnt noticeably any better. F**k me

So in ur opinion a lot of fat means 20%+? would 14ish be alright?

1inch is fine in your quad. For glute most definitely a 1inch. We are both talking about glutes right? Idk where the whole 1 inch quad thing came from....

Go pinch your ass cheek. At 30% bf. Im sure you wouldn't even get an 1/8 of an inch into the muscle.

IM-intramuscular injection. Meaning into the muscle. You don't want to barely hit the muscle. Nice and deep so it can be absorbed.

[ScotchGuard]

Get some 1.5" needles, they're cheap. You'll get better results.

Low test. I had two knee surgeries last year, was on opiate based pain meds for several months, and balloned up with weight (gained 35lbs). I think those events factored in with my age (42) caused my test level to tank. I found this site while searching for info on TRT. I've found the folks on sites like this know more about HRT than most doctors.

My fault, actually. I misread the injection site he's referring to. Need more coffee...
