NEEDLE SIZE

ad

Boys I need yall. I have been injecting in my glues for the last year and I'm now switching to every day injections as opposed to twice a week injections.

Going to rotate between glutes and shoulder injections. For shoulder injections I see conflicting people say 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch and 1 inch needle size.

I'll be injecting right at 2 ml daily. I used a 25 gauge 5/8 needle this morning and it was easiest thing ever. I just wanna make sure 5/8 is long enough or do I need to move to 1 inch. Appreciate you boys

How do you all avoid coring the plunger? I use a 23g to draw since 18’s chew the rubber up, but lately seen small particles of rubber floating…I read that 45 degree angle and then pivot to 90 after in works.

Anyone have any advice on needle size for drawing?

I draw with a 23G but I pin with a 25G 1 inch and it works great both legs and shoulders.

I have been using .5 inch for injections on my leaner spots with no issue. 2ml seems like a lot for 5/8 but If it worked with no lumps or PIP then your gtg. I use 1" If I'm injecting more or if I'm bulking or something and have a bit more fat.

I use 1" for everything. 27g

Everyday injections with only 4 spots? Need another site to inject, I’d recommend lats, they are my easiest spot. I also like quads but I know most people don’t. I do 25g 1inch in every spot.

Great advise. Lats are one of my favorite spots to pin. Hardly any pip

this may sound stupid but fuck it.do you pin lat from like underneath?

Stand infront of a mirror on the wall - put your right arm out straight infront of you against the mirror and in the mirror you can see all of your lat underneath in the armpit area. Reach across with the left arm and inject. Be aware that there are nerves in this area and sometimes when you go in you can hit one and the muscle will twitch lol

I was literally staring in the mirror 2 days ago wondering the same thing. Waving my arms around like " how in the fuck" lol

No stupid questions here. I raise my arm up and lean it against a wall and take my other hand and reach across my body and pin in the peak of my lat. Awkward at first but by far my favorite spot and can put 2ml easy there

Hell yeh appreciate that

I use 1.5 inch 23 gauge for everything. I pin daily. About 1.7ml everyday and then 3ml on mondays and Thursdays. I do my test injections on those 2 days that’s why. I do just fine with the 1.5inch on glutes, quads, and shoulders. I’ve been doing this for years. I’ll probably switch to 1 inch for my delts at some point. But so far I haven’t had any issues for the last 5 years (knock on wood).

Good gowd. another person with 23g. People out here hunting Moby Dick.

irongame427's picture

That is a huge needle. If that’s you in your profile pic you don’t Need anywhere near that long a needle. Only people with really high BF might need a 1.5 inch needle. What you’re doing might work but it’s unnecessary and causing more scar tissue in the muscle.

1 inch 25g for glutes for me since I hold a little more fat there
5/8 27g for delts and quads

Also, I wouldn’t let a 23g anywhere near my muscles lol. Oil flows plenty fast out of a 25-27.

2ml a day? Got a leaky engine or something that's a hell of a lot of oil per day Lol

Especially for 5/8 depth, but if you're not getting a massive lump and it's all going into muscle you should be fine lol

27g will also flow just fine in a 3ml barrel and do less tissue damage. Especially if you warm it up first to help with the viscosity. I use 1inch or 1.5 inch. Both work. Might get some seepage with 5/8

Foreversmall1's picture

I do 25 gage 5/8 in delt and 1inch in glute,
It's all preference brother,
Some use 1 1/2 in glute, just depends on how much meat ya got back there buddy,
What works for you might not work for others.
If ya feel good with it and have no seapedge or knots. All good buddy and did you say 2 ml a day??
