What needle gauge and length is best?

Hear a lot about 25 gauge and 1 inch but also hear some 1.5 inch
 
Your gonna get a few answers on this. My experience was 27g .5 inches in delts and 1 inch glutes, but as I was in my cycle making gains I switched to 25g 1 inch delts and 1.5 inch glute. I used a 20g to draw.
 
A 1" 25g needle is suitable for most injection sites. A 1.5" imo is overkill, unless you're pinning glutes
 
22g 1 inch to draw
25g 1 inch to pin

I use 25g 1 inch in glutes, quads, lats, and delts with no problems.

Don’t make the mistake that I did and use 23g needles just so you can do it that much faster. Did that my whole first cycle with my glutes and I’m pretty sure I’ve got scar tissue built up already…
 
I like 27 gauge 1/2 inch.
 
I swear I can not hit delts without getting blood or oil leakage . 25g 1” ….Glutes no problem 25g 1.5” up to 4ml
 
i've been using one inch for 30 years without any issues.

Your glutes don’t bleed? I’ve had my glutes squirt blood before
 
They never bleed, and for that reason I’ve overworked them quite a bit. Quads just suck , I’ve got a very strange story about pinning quads that happened ironically last New Years, after that mishap I never touched them again. I wish I could get the delts down without leaking or bleeding though. Practice makes perfect I guess
 
1" × 25 gauge: glutes and VG
5/8" × 25 gauge: quads, shoulders and pecs

Leaving the needle in my delts for about 30 seconds after injection has drastically reduced leakage and bleeding for me.
 
Thanks for the Great information. Was thinking half for delts but wanted to rotate with glutes, so half inch will work on glutes as well?

For glutes I would say 1inch min, you don't want to go too shallow with your injection
 
1/2 inch 28g or 5/8 25g, sometimes 1 inch 25
20g 1/2 to draw
