What size and gauge for bicep/tricep injections?

[Nighthawkk]

I only have 23g 1 1/2" for my glutes, but I know that is too long. What size and gauge is need for bis/tris?

 

[~ThaGame~]

i would defineitly NOT use 1 1/2" 23g needles bro
get some 5/8" 25g needles

 

[flex2win]

you will be fine with 23 gauge, i'm using 1" right now, no problems

 

[~ThaGame~]

1" i could see happening, but not 1 1/2" unless you have like 21" guns

 

[~ThaGame~]

25g to draw huh? you must have a lot of time on your hands

i'd go with the 22g

On a similiar note... what guage to draw and shoot fina? I'm using a 25g, and it takes an hour to get one ml out! I think it's time for some 22g.

dont be a pussy and hit the 16g

shittt!!!!

you can still use the 1-1/2" pin just don't stick it in the entire way.
i've used 23 and 25g (both 1") on bis, with no problems, except the occasional muscle twitch in my left bi that causes a bruise.

I'd get some 5'8" 25g like the game suggested. get some 18g to draw up with and switch when you inject.
The reason I wouldn't use the 1" is if you plan on leaving a quarter inch or so exposed, then who's to say you don't move the needle while injecting and hit a vein? 5/8" stick it in all the way, aspirate, and then you're good to go.

Ok, 5/8" it is. How the heck do I aspirate with it in my bicep though?
