same, im lean enough atm i can hit the upper part of my glutes just barely IM with 1/2 inch. as i put on weight need a 1 inch for glutes, half works for the rest.I use 27g 5/8 insulin . Shoulders,chest ,quads ,vg, biceps .1/2 will work just not in glutes
i usually save my glutes for when all other options exhausted. no reason other then i just dont like getting out the 1inchers if i dont have to lol.A good way, if your not sure your in the muscle, is to pin, let go of the syringe and if the full syringe droops, your not in the muscle deep enough.
It should stick like a dart in a dartboard.
I cant do glute shots anymore... its like injecting into a block of cheese.i usually save my glutes for when all other options exhausted. no reason other then i just dont like getting out the 1inchers if i dont have to lol.
i pinned my chest the first time this week that was surprisingly easy.
need to hype myself up to do biceps and calves at some point. for whatever reason those wierd me out.
i dont do lats anymore since a few times the syringe has fallen down to the floor lol, just slipped right out, and I got a nasty welt one time as well.
so no quads or lats for me.
Can 1/2 inch needle reach muscle (in glutes) for an IM injection? My TRT clinic gives me 25 g 1 inch needles. Thanks!!
25g to draw?! Fvck, I don’t know how you guys do that, I use 18-20 to draw and 23-25 to inject, anything smaller take way too long for me. 25g for injection is painless to me, anywhere, barley feel 23g but I can agree it can have more of a bite than 25g.same, im lean enough atm i can hit the upper part of my glutes just barely IM with 1/2 inch. as i put on weight need a 1 inch for glutes, half works for the rest.
for your glutes you need a 1inch, anything bigger then aa 25 lol.
25 gonna hurt, id use that to draw not pin.
i draw with 23 and pin with 30 lol25g to draw?! Fvck, I don’t know how you guys do that, I use 18-20 to draw and 23-25 to inject, anything smaller take way too long for me. 25g for injection is painless to me, anywhere, barley feel 23g but I can agree it can have more of a bite than 25g.
My exact answer. It depends how lean you are. My question for OP would be, if you use 1/2inch length in other muscle groups, can you physically see the muscle? Delts, lats, pecs, whatever… are those buried under fat or clearly visible against the skin? I’d assume visible, then if your glutes look the same that’s your answer. If you’re caked up and just see ass 1/2 inch is probably not the best option if you’re going IM.If you are peeled.
What??! It must take you 45 min to draw and inject, lol! Either I do something massively wrong or you have way more patience than Ii draw with 23 and pin with 30 lol

no takes like 1 min tops for both. draw test, npp, primo, swap luers and inject. doesnt take long at all.What??! It must take you 45 min to draw and inject, lol! Either I do something massively wrong or you have way more patience than I![]()
30s do bend sometimes lolI feel like I should do a video explaining how easy it is to both draw and pin with almost any size. It all depends on how comfortable you are personally. Also like where you’re pinning, how much, yada yada. People see smaller gauges and they just get intimidated. Must be scared they’ll bend or break it or something.
True sometimes. But you gotta practice somehow lol30s do bend sometimes lol
yea ive been pinning with them for awhile, and only slightly bent them like once or twice. both vsg.True sometimes. But you gotta practice somehow lol
I personally like 29g 1/2 inch subqyea ive been pinning with them for awhile, and only slightly bent them like once or twice. both vsg.
yea 29 is fine also, i just bought so many 30s gotta finish em now lol.I personally like 29g 1/2 inch subq
Usually 27 g 1 inch if IM
This, I started buying 27ga 5/8 (Slin) to try Test C injections in thigh. I was able to find some 23ga 1.25 inch needles for Ventro glute for when I am doing more than 1cc. I am too impatient to wait for the 25 ga needle to inject, and 1 inch was fine but I wanted deeper and 1.5 inch was too deep.I use 27g 5/8 insulin . Shoulders,chest ,quads ,vg, biceps .1/2 will work just not in glutes
Me too !!!I’m currently using a 27 gauge 1/2 inch in my quads and delts. My ass is too darn fat right now!![]()

For IM?30g 1/2in
For everything except peptides, been using slin pins since 2012 because I have scar tissue from years of using 23-25g pins.For IM?
