im needle length

[sportsfan8724]

Always have used 5/8 inch 25g to inject in outer thigh. Levels are good doing 100 mg every 3.5 days and normally have a small amount of pain for a few days after injection. Recently tried 25 g 1inch needle and within a week noticed I feel more energy and no leg pain after injections. I'm thinking I respond better to deeper injections. I'm pretty lean so I don't get why but I'm thinking about trying 1.5" 25 g for a few weeks and seeing if I like that even better. If leave a tiny amount of space like an eight out would that be ok or do you guys think 1.5" is too deep? Still will be 25g so not worried about pain just don't know if too deep can exist or is not not an issue.

I alternate glutes with a 22g 1.5" and have never had any complaints.

You should be fine.

You inject with darts?

I use easy touch 27g 1/2" and inject in my shoulders. For a shallow IM, and I love it.

I too feel that deep IM injections give me a better response with zero injection site issues. I use 25g 1" in my glutes. I'm not sure going .5" deeper, especially on a quad, would really add much?

 

[sportsfan8724]

I just wanna make sure there is not such a thing as too deep? Idk if going from 1in to 1.5 inch will make much more of a positive difference I just know going from 5/8 to 1 inch did so I wanted to make sure going to 1.5 inches wouldn't be any kind of a problem or if such a thing as too deep exists .

 

[Helboi]

Well, of course there is such a thing as too deep (I mean, a 6" needle is probably a bad idea). As for where that is in your quads, I couldn't say. But I'm sure 1" would be fine, not sure 1.5" would work in a quad for everyone.

Lower/ outer quads, I go 27g x 1/2". Works just fine!!

 

[sportsfan8724]

Lol ok I guess too big was a bad way to state that. 6 inch would definitely be a problem haha. I should have said is it possible 1.5 inch could be too big? I like the 25g so I intend on staying with that just wanting to experiment with different depths since 1 inch seems to have less pain post injection and my energy seems better then with 5/8 so I thought I'd try 1.5" too.

I still mix in some SubQ's too, going 31g x 5/16". Many ways to get the job done. I think I've tried every method & applicable section on the body, so far these two tend to be my "go to".

I think there was a guy on here awhile back, pinning into his peck muscles. Memory serves correct he was getting some blow black from the guys. I think I'd stay away from that region, and some of the more notable areas that could be problematic. Yeah, years back some guy on another forum posted that he pinned into his sack, thinking the testosterone would have a deeper effect with the testes!! Another one pinned his grilled chicken and ate it, thinking it had an impact on protein synthesis directly at the source LOL!

I use my testosterone oil on my frying pan so my eggs don't stick to the pan. Man I hate when eggs do that!

My doctor prescribes 1ml QD IntraOvum.

When the mod approves my first post, titled is my doctor stupid, someone please look at it. It's in this folder. In addition to what I believe is a weird dosage and frequency regiment, he has me injecting deep thigh with an 18 gauge 1-1/2". I only have done one shot but I thought it hurt pretty bad once it was all the way in there. Maybe smaller needles would help?

 

[sportsfan8724]

18g is huge that I'm sure that is most of your problem. Anything bigger then a 23 g is overkill!
