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
