Delt inj w/ 22g 1 1/5 pin

[upone]

I got tons of 22G 1 1/5 pins that I use on the glute inj but would it be ok to use the same pin size for the delts?
DOes it make a difference how big the delt is ???

1 inch is usually what is preferred. if you have excess bodyfat or large delts, you will prob be ok. if you are skinny or lean, then 1inch would prob be better. you can make a 1inch with what you have. just cut the cap to where theres about 1/5th inch left and put it back over the needle and then you will have a 1inch syringe , homemade style. a bro on here taught me that but cant remember who.

I have done this..

I would stick with 1in. No need to go any higher than that..

I prefer a 1"...when I go with 1.5" I don't put it all the way in. A bit of a pain in the butt to do that, so I just stick to 1.5".

I agree with 1 inch on delts. 22g is too big for me and scar tissue. After a while (years) of injects the pins start to SQWEEEK when going in. The smaller
you can use the better. I actually twist the pin in a circle when going in and removing the pin cause they stick so bad from the scaring. But im 37yrs old
and you might still be unscared and smaller pins help. Back in 1988 when I first cycled there was no internet or GPZ services ect. I had to take what my guy had which was usually harpoons. So seriously take it from me if you are going to be at this a while go with the smallest pin for the actual inject. I will
say i dont have any scaring i can FEEL by rubing the areas but the pins do NOT want to go in anymore. I will tell you one more thing though I would use
18ga to inject if i could get what was avalable back from like 1988 to 1992.
EVERYTHING was good. I never ever even heard of fake gear in those years.
All the stuff back then was awsome. It was cheap too. Oh well i have the memories. The best memory was the test suspinsion. Water based and would
kick in like dynamite the SAME day. Memories.

No prob with that. Just go 2/3 in (use only 1"). That being said, I would recommend 25 g pinz for non glute injections, you can just buy the hypodermic needle portion and use the same syringes if you have a lot of those lying around. IT would be fairly cheap and likely worth your effort.

Why 25g instead of 22g?

The smaller the gauge of the pin, the less scar tissue build up you will have.
