1 inch or 1.5 inch into Glutes?

[John89231]

What do you guys use to inject into glutes? A 1 inch or 1.5 inch needle? I also use 25 gauge.... But im more concerned with whether or not 1 inch is going deep enough to get absorption.

1.5 for glutes.....1inch should be fine for quads if ur Fairly lean

I've found 1 inch to suffice injecting into the glutes...massaging well after the shot is the key imo...

Its scary how the pin looks so long. The first time I went from 1-1.5, it was like no way, I will hit the bone. I have actually used 1.5 in the quad and been OK.

i buy 1.5 and use in either spot just dont push it quite all the way down in the quad. but shouldnt have a problem in your glutes with it at all. yes deffinately message adn dont forget to aspirate!

Is there a CON to using the 1 inch if that's what I feel more comfortable using? Will it possibly not absorb all the way?

1.5 in quads and glutes it only hurts peircing the skin goes into the muscle like butter mmmm

It's debatable, but the problems could include having the gear leak back out, and also if you don't get it ALL THE WAY into the deep muscle tissue, it can wind up between the muscle sheath and the muscle, or worse ontop of the muscle sheath and in the fat pad. If that happens, it will not absorb the same, and will often cause a lump and be sore. Sub-Q (fat layer) injections are suitable for HGH, HCG, and some other water-suspended injections. Why risk it? The stuff is costly, and our work and dedication is not easy. Just go 1.5" unless you're ultra-lean, and even then I'd use a 1.5. Also, 25g for an oil-suspension is too fine, IMHO. I go a minimum of 22, and up to a 19 routinely. As far as hitting bone, I've never done that, and I even use 1.5 in delts, although 1" is fine for delts unless the person is quite fat.

23g x 1.5" for glute

 

[halfsjj]

23g x 1.5" for glute

This is the recommended size and gauge for IM AAS injections into the glutes and quads. The deeper into the muscle the more circulation and better absorption. 1" better suited for the delts.

 

[John89231]

Why would the gauge matter? I use 25 Gauge so I dont get tons of scar tissue? And if the oil comes out why does it matter how quick or slow it does....
