i know everyone says that you should use 1.5" sharps to shoot, but what happens if you don't? i see lots of warnings but no explanations. does the gear get absorbed more quickly or differently? i say this because my first two injections of the cycle that i'm on (8 weeks of 500mg sust) were done with 3/4" sharps. i'm on week 3 with the correct length needles, but have already seen gains (up to 190 lbs from 183, 10-20 lb increase on all my sets). does it sounds like some of my juice was wasted?     | ||

I don't think it matter when your shooting in your glute. When I use short needles the juice tends to spill out when I take the needle out. I don't think it really matters. | ||

It fully depends on if your 3/4" hit muscle or simply subcutaneous tissue. To be sure, most people will recommend AT LEAST one inch...preferably 1.5". If your very lean with low body fat and injected into a muscluar location...then I'm sure the juice is doing it's magical work! Personally, all my needles are 1.5". I use 25 guage for h20 based and 23 guage for oil based substance. With heavy lobbying from the homosexuals needles are easy to come by in the states...so go to your pharamacy and buy the correct ones next time! | ||

It just depends upon how fat you are. I'm lean and use 1 inch for glutes but I only use a 5/8 inch for the delts. You can still depress the nozzle up against the skin and get it in another half inch or so that way. | ||

I use 1" in the thighs for all oil based injections-1.5 in the glutes. ------------------ |
