Length of Needle??

[amgunit]

It's pretty much standard to use a 1.5" needle length to pin the glutes, but I was wondering if 1" was acceptable as well or would it be too short??

If you're fairly lean then a 1" works. I've never had a problem getting down in the muscle w/ 1". My first cycle I wanted to be sure so I used 1.5's.

Bro I used to be the same way with thinking that an inch might be to short, but an inch will work just fine. An inch is even to long in some of the sites for injection. You'll be fine bro. If you question it after first inject, just pin delts or quads. No biggie.

1 inch is fine for pinning the glutes however I prefer 1 1/2 to be sure it goes deep enough. You will find that in time , the more compound you inject at one time it will knot up on you if it is not deep enough in the tissue.

thanks for the quick responses bro's.. Assuming that you stop just short of plunging it all the way to the end, in case the needle breaks?

Arabian: yea, i woulda prefered to get the 1.5 incher but they didnt carry that at the medical store i went to

i've gotten an abcess one time in my life from 1 inch into the quads. but the angle i went in wasn't good so i whiffed on the muscle. other than that never had a problem with 1 inchers

AAS are meant to be injected DEEP IM. If your real lean you will probably be fine.

You are supposed to administer 'deep intra muscularly'. Should be 1.5 really imo.

1.5 inch is preferred for most, but 1 inch may be fine for people that are lean enough. To be safe, I would just go 1.5 to make sure you are getting enough penetration

Heck! i even bury a 1.5 in my Tri's
