23g for Delts and Quads?

[Rickdarula]

Can you use a 23g 1.5" needle for delt and quad injects or must it be 25g?

I have a bunch of 22 and 23's but no 25's. Can I use what I have or should I procure some 25's?

I have no problem doing Glute's only, but everybody keeps talking about having to rotate injection sites.

TIA //Rick

23 is fine.

When I hit my delts I always use 25x1 slides in like warm butter as for quads same thing

yup 23's are fine.. I wouldnt stick all 1.5 inches in unless you have a higher bodyfat. I usually use 1 inch in the delts and sometimes i feel it going a little further than i need...

Does the volume matter when switching between delts, quads and glutes?

I don't know, maybe im making too big a deal out of nothing.

i have read not to do more than 2-2.5cc's per injection site. I usually hit my glutes and quads with 2-2.5 cc's. I dont know how big or lean you are bro but I really wouldnt want more than 1.5cc's in my delt. For me, delt injections hurt. I would rather hit my biceps before delts.. Either way, I would say a max of 2cc's for delts.. I guess as long as you are getting deep in the muscle you could hit your quads and glutes with 3cc's...Just make sure to massage the area well.

Dont like 25g, moves around too much and that will cause more damage. Stick with 23g, faster injection and less movement.

Just cut the plastic cover on your 1.5" pin so only 1" is exposed

Long and short of it is that the 1" 25g is an extremely versatile needle which is perfect for any spot besides glutes so most people are going to buy them buy the assload. It's not necessarily magic. I personally do prefer the 25g 1" for delts, it's a really, really easy shot. I've also used the 23g 1.5 for basically every type of shot as well.

somtimes I use 5/8 25g sometimes its 1.5 inch 19g depends what I can get

I use 23's all the time in delts tris and quads.. never had a problem

25's would be a pain to use regularly depending on the oil.. take forever to draw that shit out.

The flu shot is given using a 23g. So 23g in the delt is tried & true.

That's a great point, my only concern is that your not getting stuck every week with a flu shot though. Is scar tissue a big concern?

Please pardon my ignorance, but im just trying to get a consensus of what the "ideal" size is for each site. If 23g is ideal for injecting delts on a regular basis then im happy because I have plenty of them on hand.

Thanks bro's

Ditto. Too much of a headache to me to be switching all the time

23g is fine for delts and quads.
