23g 1" needle good for thigh pins?
ad
I recently ordered pins and I made an error I ordered 23g 1" pins and 25g 8/5" pins. I usually use 25g for thigh pins, basically I was wondering if 23g 1" better for thigh or glute? I was considering just making another and picking up 23 1 1/2" and 25g 1" then using the 23g 1" for mixing. Thanks

everythng i use is 23g except for the 20g i draw with - 1" for quads and delts, 1 1/2" for glutes. more and more im startng to consider 25g for delts and quads, but its not broke so im not worried bout fixin it
I think 25g is easier to break skin I did my quad yesterday with a 23g and have notice that more pressure is needed to penetrate. For a sec it look like the needle was about to bend. Today I pin in my glute using the 23g and it went fine. Dam mike how did the delt feel after sticking the 1" in it bro? I have only used 25g 5/8 on delts
really?! i was taught in the beginning 1" was just how it was done, never really considered much else until recently. ive never really had problems using them, im not that guy who struts around sayng im such a bad ass and never get pip by any means lol, but i get the worst pip in my quads over delts every time. its not cripplng like when i 1st strtd pinning them with prop, but i only get moderately sore in my delts every now and then.
it used to be worse, but ive really focused on perfecting injection technique and takng my sweet ass time doing it - warm the oil, inject very slowly, leave pin in muscle for 30 secs even after finishng injectng, massaging gently very thoroughly once done works amazng for me. i wont pin over 2cc at a time in my delts tho ... theyre not big enough on me to hold all that oil w/out bad pip
I pin 3cc in delt but it takes me about 3-4 minutes to squeeze it in. When I first started I would pin 2-3 cc and squeeze it out in a matters of secs but man I would get pip. A buddy of mine was the one that told me about taking your time. Since then my pip is close to none. Fit some reason I get the worst pip on my upper body. I've gotten use to thighs and glute
AssUhlFor the past 3 years ive used all 23g......1 inch for my thighs shooting about 3 times a week rotating side to side and 1 1/2 inch for my glutes each side about 3 times a week aka eod....I could get away with 1 inch for glutes, but I find the deeper into the muscle I go (1 1/2 inch), the less pip I experience. ....
23 is perfect for thighs! the only time I use 25G is for biceps, triceps and chest
23g is all I use, can't do 25g no more :(
AssUhlIm assuming too much scar tissue.....ive experienced the same thing in certain spots ive pinned a lot..
Why Bro? They bend going in those thick muscles?
Takes way to long to push the oil in, think I've built up to much scar tissue
It all depends on your bf % I use a 1" for everything now.
Currently I'm at 207 and 14%bf
From your pic it doesn't look like you'll have any trouble using a 1".
Thank you brother. I'm gonna try it out on my next day
yes a 23gage is good enough to give you an infection!
Lol sorry I'll edit I'm use to calling pinning infect
to answer your question it will work in either place, some like 1 1/2 for glutes but i use 1's 23g
Thank you Noid for the info brother
