Proper pin length for quads

[pompste]

Hi,
What is the proper pin length for a quad inject? I`m guessing 1" or 1-1/2" -----correct or not?
My quads are above average in developement,so maybe the 1-1/2"?
Sounds like i`m answering my own question.
Thanks for any info

i use 1" but if your quads are above average, try out the 1.5". i typically use 1.5" for my glutes

What is "above average"??

I have always used 25G 1" but I suppose if you have VERY large legs, 1.5 would be best. Bump for some of the "big" boys to chime in. Radar, Quad what do you guys think?

My quads are quite muscular,but i would`nt consider them VERY large.

Muscle size doen't matter it's bf that matters. If you don't have much bf on your thighs 1' is fine and if you have more bf then 1.5 would be better. I use 1' and I have no problems.

It's tough to tell w/out knowing you. I guess use your best judgement. If you think a 1" will hit deep enough into the muscle, then use it. 1.5" just sounds a bit long, but it may be what you need...

For comparison (and this is a tough one...) I am 6'4, 220 about 11%bf and played hockey for 20+ years.... my legs are well defined, with size (we're not talking Jay Cutler size or anything, but respectable...) - I use a 1" pin.

Hope that help!

like said above its more about your bodyfat as many can hit quads with a 1/2 in slin pin
which is convenient for ed shots.

Pretty much anything will work. I had to use 22g 1.5's last week when i ran out of my quad needles and it worked fine. If you inject too close to the skin you'll know because when u massage the muscle you'll hear the gear squishing around, but that's not gonna happen as long as you use at least a 1" and bury the needle 95% of the way in.

like everyone here has said, although i wont do quads again (too many nerves for me) 25 x 1 inch never let me down and my legs are far from "above average" whatever that may mean......

25g 1" works great for me. I would go 25 instead of 23 in the quads, trading off a little injection speed for more comfort, but that's just me.

I use 23 1 /4 inch for everything, including quads. Ive even been silly enough to use a 19 1 1/2 on quads due to short supply of pinz. Never again .
