Needle Size Question...

[RippedRule]

I'm on 500mg Test E/week and taking two 250 mg shots/week.

I've been using 21g 1.5" needles but recently ran out and had to hit the pharmacy. Around here it seems like half the time I go in they ask for prescription and other half they don't - it depends on the pharmacist. Well yesterday I only found one place that would sell and they only had 1" needles. Is this long enough to get into the muscle? I'm taking the shots in the ass cheeks btw. I know I should probably be using 1.5 - any advice?

Depends on how much fat you have back there. If you're lean, you should be fine. Get some darts from http://www.getpinz.com. You'll get them within a few days.

I've used 1" in my glutes and it worked fine but, if you're concerned, switch to quads and delts where 1" is recommended. Quads are easy, delts are a little more difficult. . .neither should be anymore painful with test e.

anyone regularly pin the calf? are the gains to the calves much more drastic if you do?

get pinz is the best place to order from and if you dont have a fat ass. 1" is fine. It's good for glutes, quads, delts.

Spot injections for spot growth are BS. . .supposedly effective with IGF but, I have no experience with that particular substance. Calf injections are a little more risky, lots of blood vessels close together.

getpinz is great, when i lived in tucson you could walk in and buy them. get 23g and yes 1 inch is fine unless you are very high bf

I think most everyone has covered it. I use 1 inch for my vastus lateralis injections, and 1.5 inch for glutes just to cover my bases. All depends on fatty tissue concentration.
