I would agree with you, I think it was more of a suggestion to ensure I went deep enough. I have 1" mostly and some 1.5" for deep glutes but I'm starting to think I prefer a 22/23 gauge 1" to get in and inject more volume quicker than the 25 gauge which seems to take forever to inject. My Thursday Primo shot is not even sore, I used 200mg/ml test instead of higher concentrate and I think the balance between the two has helped the pip. I will order some more 200mg from Domestic Supply to get me through my primo cycle.I disagree with the nurse don't do long needles just stick to one inch
