Thinking of switching from thigh to shoulder injections, a couple questions

[Westin]

I’m injecting into the thigh with a 1 1/2 needle currently but am thinking of switching to the shoulder With insulin syringe.

I don’t workout so my arms are average, would a 1/2“ or 5/8” be long enough to get into the muscle?

What is the best gauge considering the viscosity of TC?

Lastly, Do you asperate when injecting in the shoulder?

Thanks All

Length you mentioned should be fine unless you have heavy layer of fat. I ise easy touch 1/2” by 29 ga. I inject .12 mg so .07 ml. Tales about 30 seconds to draw up. I do not aspirate at all

Thanks

I also started out TRT on the wrong needle size, more like harpoon. I use 29G Easy Tough syringes with no dead space design so I don't waste test and run out before my refill.

It does take longer to load, but I feel nothing. I inject in quads and deltoids.

X2 on what @Systemlord said above.

I do shallow IM into thigh EOD with 28g Easy Touch Insulin Syringes. No waste and pain free. The only issue I've had with Easy Touch is finding them in stock from time to time. That's especially true right now with Coronavirus running rampant.

I feel pretty confident about not getting the Coronavirus considering I haven't been ill since I was 14 years old, no flu or cold.

@Systemlord - My comment was in regard to getting inventory of Easy Touch Syringes not the virus itself.

So no issue hitting the muscle in the shoulder of someone who is not leaned out and a gym rat with a 1/2 needle?

No problem with 1/2" when pinning delt.

Yes I would have inject in the shoulders, even if you have a layer of fat.

My favorite place to inject.

Best testosterone injection site, no aspiration needed, avoids all nerves

No interest in SubQ in belly?

That's correct, 31% BF and hit muscle every time with a 1/2" needle in the quads and deltoids.

I saw a video with Dr. Rand McClain who said he occasionally needs to drain abscesses that form to the oil base forming a bubble under the skin that gets infected from shooting TC SubQ.
