Injecting hurt?

[shawn1235]

So I've been using 23g needles at 1 inch.. got my hands on 23g and 1.5in and they fucking hurt.. lol I think I was using to small a needle before. The 1.5in went in then the last half inch stopped and I had to push it hard and I felt it go through a wall and it hurt. It's fine now tho. I read that that happens because you go I to the muscle. Is this correct or am I going in to far now? I read that if you do a im injection that you should feel it go in then you should feel it go in the muscle too. Btw I'm doing glute shots.

1" would be too small for my glutes but would probably be ok for my delts or quads. I carry more fat on my ass than on my legs or shoulders. I use 1.5" and always go all the way in, regardless of the location (out of those 3 - quads, glutes, and delts). I think you are just getting deep into the muscle, where it should be.

Alright thanks bro! Yeah I have like no fat on my ass lol. So I probably am just going deep. Thanks again for the quick reply.

Don't think you can go too deep with glutes.. but if your lean then 1inch would be fine.. also look into 25g 1 inch pins.. those bad boys are painless

I agree with Bonacris. Use a smaller gauge and there will be less pain. I use a 25g 1.5" almost exclusively.

Well I'm 10% bf and I've been using 23g 1 inch the entire cycle.. i just switched to 23g 1.5inch. The one inch I had no issues with. Pretty much pain free. But that last half and inch with the new ones hurts at the end. It's like it's plucking through something the last .5 inch. I'm just making sure that's normal. Should I go back to the 1ich?

If you had no issue in the 1st place then you should go back. What ever is comfortable.

Try 25g,,,,I used 23g for years but now use 25g and love them.
You have to have a little more patience. ALSO use a quality brand
pin like a precision glide.

I got the 1.5 cause everyone said I'm not going deep enough. Is 1 in deep enough? They said you should feel it go in your muscle. I never did til I used the 1.5 and it hurt going in lol. But if that's what I need to feel it I'll just get 25g 1.5s.

I use 1 inch on glutes and I wouldn't say it's my leanest body part but the gear still gets absorbed and I haven't had any issues and it's been pain free

Push out a lil oil onto the tip and then get a lil head start and jab it in there haha but seriously it goes right in almost all the way then you don't have that pushing the last bit and you're looking at it and feeling shit and it's mostly in your head, get a nice jab in there and it's all the way in and you barely feel it.

True I usually inject slowly lol. It was weird feeling it go into the muscle.

If you push a 1" needle all the way in, so it sits flush against your skin ... and you are STILL not into the muscle, then you are one fat ass mo-fo ... just saying. Rule of thumb, for me, is 1.5" needles, but purely out of preference, no other reason. I pin delts nowadays, and still manage to get the needle in 1.25" ... just the last 1/4 of an inch before it sits flush with the skin. I prefer to get the depot created reasonably deep in the muscle tissue and honestly, cannot say that I ever felt the feeling you are describing. Probably because I have never thought too much about pinning ... and also don't really concentrate on it while doing it ... it has to get done ... so I just go ahead and do it.

I usually use a 1 in. My ass is like the leanest part of my body. It was just weird.. like I hit a wall and had to give and good amount of force to push it thru. Idk haha. I'm probably just gonna still with the 1.5. Already got them and I'm not abitch so it's cool.

I use 21 1.5 in my glutes no prob. Once you're past the skin, if you feel like you hit a "wall" 99.99% of the time its a blood vessel. Its very difficult to tell when you hit muscle, and if you're lean, it doesn't take long.

I use 23g 1 1/4 inch never have a problem with them in my glute. I'm 9% bf but I used 1" for a few weeks because I ordered wrong ones and found they corked my glute everytime got the worse pain I'm thinking because it wasn't going in deep enough?
