Re: Re: Re: Syringe Size

well then...would you use a 25g in your glutes or your delts?i sure wouldn't.a 25g 5/8" is used on my part for bis/tris...23g 1" is used for glutes and delts.no probs for me w/ those sizes.as for the original Q?,3ml's works well...---fyi

yes, i use a 25 g 5/8 inch in the butt. I am not saying anyone else should a 5/8 inch but as long as i don't get problems with it, i will do it. As for delts and arms right now i use a 26 g 0,45 inch long.
Still we are talking about needle size, not length and nobody needs a 22 or 23 g for anything.
But continue doing what you do, but don't tell me a 23 g is the ideal needle, because it is not.

Ok Jeff I guess I worded that wrong. What I meant was after reading various posts and doing some research I came up with 23g-1 inch as my ideal size of choice. Obviously I am not qualified to say what THE ideal needle size is. Especially seeing how I haven't even done my first shot yet! lol But I must say it looks as though personal preference has a lot to do with what the ideal size really is.

I went with 22g 1.5" for quad shots. I think I'll go with 18g to draw and 23g to shoot next time. 22g will work just fine for both, though.

IMO,unless your glutes are striated and your bf% is under 6%...then a 5/8" is not long enough for IM injections...but to each their own...---fyi
