pin size help

Need some input please. First off I hate pins. Would a 25g 5/8 be ok to use in delts and quads. Im not big by any means my bf is somewhere around 10-15. Thanks in advance.

25g 1" in the quads will do. I used 22g 1" and that shit was difficult. Anxiety almost won a few times lol. I wouldnt use anything less than 1" unless youre pinning in the delts.
23gauge 1 inch works fine in the quad if you warm the oil a bit. I've done it for 3 years, no problemo.
Tell that to your scar tissue. Larger gauge pins work well, but they do cause more scar tissue. I won't pin anything larger than a 25 gauge anymore.
That's one that I use for my shoulders 25gx5/8. But for quads 25g x1. you might not want to use 1/2 and 5/8 in your quads.
first time i pinned myself i had the edge of the needle barely pushing in my skin. i started shaking... looked away and tried to calm down. when i looked back to my glute the needle was already in hahha. that was years ago. Now pinning is no problem. i use 25g 1inch. you can either do it like some and slam it in.. or i just press.
always wipe with alcohol swab first.... plus when i push a bit out of the needle pointed vertical to clear air bubbles that little bit helps lube the needle. you will get used to it. Now you wanna know whats scary... the first time you get into a vain... that coughing!! hahah
Height? Weight? I use a 25x1 for everything except glutes. In which I use a 25x1/2. Depends how thick you are.
jms40you just need to overcome the fear...heck its only gonna sting thru the epidemal once i get into muscle no pain...just use good hygene ie clean and swab...always aspirate and your good to go
Hey man at the start i was weirded out about using pins but came to love doing it, for delts i use a 25g 1inch, and for quads i use 25g 1and a quarter inch needle. It works fine for me and i never get any leakage or bad pip either. Just get relaxed before you commence pinning because you don't want your hands to start shaking and jerking with a needle inside... And make sure to aspirate aswell. have fun champ
If you go 5/8 and don't get into muscle you will be sorry. If the oil lays in the fascia between fat and muscle PIP and infection are highly likely.
Thanks for the help no dought I have to suck it up and just pin it. not scared by no means why stick 1 or 1 1/2 when 5/8s would do the trick.
Have you ever ran a cycle? How many? These are even better questions.
Getting ready for my first cycle just trying to get all my ducks in a row b4 I start want to be as safe as possible
Okay brother I would use 23 1" and then once you start growing switch to 1 1/2. Gotta get deep into that muscle.
Thats a pretty big leap 10 to 15BF?Look in my opinion you can use 5/8 for delts and 1 inch for quads 1.5 inch for glutes but it depends on your body fat.you have to go through the layer of skin and fat to reach the muscle in the quads so a safer bet would be 1 inch.And if you cant stand needles don't use gear,or learn 2 like it your choice =)
That's all I use for both bro.
