How deep should a needle actually go?

[Juicedpineapple]

I have 23g 1.5 needles and i have some more comfortable sized needles coming in the mail but bottom line is i'm curious if i'm able to put the needle half way in just about & still have a good injection? I have literally 2-3% body fat, the most minimum levels

I'd like to see a pic of 2-3% bf bro. That is an insane place to be.
You can measure and cut the caps at an inch. And that way the needle is stopped at whatever distance you cut the cap at.
25g and 1" seems to be the best for most

Well i'm short and very lean and don't weigh much in the first place, the biggest i got was from my 500 test e 400 tren e cycle that got me to a whopping 140lbs, but after a couple surgeries i had, i became lazy and lost it all, now i'm down to a sad 115-118

I go all the way...that's just me. Some people may do it differently

I usually used to go all the way back when i did my previous 3 cycles strictly in my glutes but developed way too much scar tissue and it became super uncomfortable, to the point where the pin was squeaking going through the muscle

get 25G 1 inch needles

that is going to be plenty for your situation

yes in the mean time go halfway in. you want to get deep into the muscle to avoid an abscess but if you don't go deep it isn't the end of the world. you will get a lump that will dissipate

The simple answer is that the needle should do deep enough so that you fully inject into the muscle. That's going to be different for each person. It all depends on how much fat you have covering the muscle.

For a muscle group that doesn't contain much fat covering it, like shoulders, 0.5 inches is more then enough.

For a fattier muscle group like glutes, you want to go at least 1 inch in.

It's better to be safe then sorry. I always air on the side of caution and inject a little bit deeper then might be 'needed' per say.

If you don't inject deep enough, you will inject into the fat covering the muscle and can risk getting an abscess.

Like muskate said, shoulders I've been using a half inch 29 gauge insulin syringe. I bury the needle though till.the syringe dimples the skin. My BF is 8-9%.

Yeah i just started my injections today, it felt pretty comfortable injecting in, i mean i did feel it go through the two layers before i started to inject so i should be good

If you had 2-3% body fat you would likely be in the hospital.

If you pin your glute you can almost bury it. Just go in about 1" and that is fine.
