Unless you have extremely low bodyfat you shouldn't use anything smaller than a 1 1/2" needle in glutes. Even with low bodyfat, anything under 1" in the glute is dangerous. You want to make sure you penetrate deep into the muscle. Just order some new pins and wait untill you get them to inject into your glutes. For now just inject into your delts or quads or if you're just using glutes then wait for the new pins.

It really depends on your bf levels. Rule of thumb is 1 1/2

well i went ahead and shot 1cc of sus 250 in my quad.. is it ok if i use a 3/4 in pin... i mean my legs are not very big so i will just shoot in my quads and delts from now on.. would this be ok or do i need to go ahead and get a 1 or 1 1/2 in pin?

That's OK if you don't mind those injection spots. I prefer the glutes.

3/4 inch too short for the glute, and 22g is tad large also,

try 23g x 1.5 inch needle for glute

25g x 1.0 inch everwhere else.

I'm pretty lean and have had no problem at all shooting with 5/8x25g in the quads and delts. I prefer both the quads and delts for reaching and aspirating.
