As a guideline: 1 1/2" pin for glutes From my experience a 1" pin is too short for glutes. IP: Logged |

It isn't worth using a 1" pin for you glute only to find out it wasn't long enough for you. Having an oil abcess lanced and drained is less than pleasant. IP: Logged |

I have been using 23g 1" pins on my glute, I've injected a total of 20ml in the past weeks and have had no problems, and I'm not that lean yet! IP: Logged |

if you don't want to risk it, 1 1/2 inch 22 gauge needles are the standard for the glute. The glute muscle is deeper then you might think and hitting a vein or having an abcess removed can really suck, stick with the 1 1/2 inch. That's what my doctor hit me with today for 200mg of depo-testosterone, I think I'll stick with what the doc says. IP: Logged |

For Glutes I use a 23 Guage 1 1/2 for water based and a 1 1/2 22 guage for oil that way you never have to worry about not going deep enough ------------------ IP: Logged |

You cna use a 1" pin if you go more from the side then from the back. I usually shoot right past the hip sockey. Also to check to see if you in the muscle. Once you have stuck it to the hilt. Tighten (SLOWLY) you glute. You should feel if the needle is in the muscle or not. Trust me you will know. IP: Logged |

a longer pin is better...the deeper you go in the glute the more room for absorbtion....plus you dont want to risk an abcess....try to use 1.5.....1 will work if its all you can get though IP: Logged |

Since you don't have 1.5in, I'd stick it in the quad. If your using Sust though, I wouldn't go for the quad, glute is better. The only pins I use are 1.5in. Normally I'll inject in the glute. If I'm using something that doesn't cause alot of soreness I'll go in the quad but not stick the pin in all the way. IP: Logged |
