You'll want to use a 40 gauge knitting needle with rounded barbs and not the sharp ones......

23gauge - 1.5 inch

22g - 25g! 1.5'' if your overweight, if not 1'' pins will work just fine.

Marty there are several things you should have in order before you start poking yourself with enathate. First one being do you have you'r ai's planned out and in your hands? Are you planning on taking HCG throughout your cycle? How long do you plan to run and do you have all you'r ml's & cc's all figured out? Whats your PCT going to include and do you have all items in hand? If you have answered yes to these things then the suggestions given should work well for you'r pins. Personally I use 25 guage 1 in pins. But with these you have to use a fair amount of pressure which is fine with me because I like going real slow on inject and am low BF%. There are great sticky's on first cycle information. If you are more experienced then I aploogise but from your post one would assume you are not. Be careful, read up on everything, have everything in hand and make your experience safe and get the most out of it. What I suggest to new guys is get some paper and pen and write down everything, every pin, every dose, every ai pill(or liquid) every syringe, etc. And have a bit extra of all items and plan for the unexpected. Such as...some guys dont have nolvadex on hand because they dont plan on taking it in PCT which is fine but what if you dont have it on hand and in mid cycle you have some gyno symptoms? Then you have to order the shit right away meanwhile your gyno gets worse and gets a foot hold because you werent prepared. Read some more my friend and if you have more questions we are here to help. Knowledge is power.

I use a 20g 1.5" to draw out of the bottle. then swap the pin out for a 23g 1" for the glutes.

our basic syringe sizes run from 22 to 25g. the lower the number, the bigger the needle will be.
a 23g is the most common size. a 1 inch needle is suffficient for most needs, but some prefer a 1 1/2 inch needle. I personally think its a REALLY long needle, but to each their own.
a 29g is an insulin syringe. it has a 1cc volume capacity and the needle tip is fixed. it does NOT spin off like the standard 3cc syringe and needle combos..
a 30g is an insulin syringe with a stubby 5/16 inch fixed needle tip which holds 1cc also

1.5" for glutes, 1" does not go deep enough unless your ass is ripped.

i asked this in another thread but I didn't get a clear answer.

If you inject into fat is the hormone completely lost or does it just take longer to absorb ?

Longer to absorb.

It's not advised to inject oils sub-q. Peptides that are reconstituted are fine.

hay thanks guys for all the advice, it's good to talk

23- 25 g x 1" is fine unless like whoever said your ass is all fat.

ok, so my ass isn't "ripped"..I got a leetle fat back there..if I bend over it's easier to get to the muscle..so I guess the question is...is it ok to bend over and then inject yourself? haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if I can even do it that way.

I personally use 1'' pin for the glutes and i am 10% bf. You are hitting high on the outside of the upper 1/4. You should have no trouble with a 1'' pin there as there is less fat than other sites of your glute. see pic below so you have an idea of whatI am talking about.

Spotinjection.com

With test e u can pin once a week more pop option is x 2 EW Mon am, Thursday pm

Next decision is where u pin

Imo I find delt very easy but that's just a personal preference, if that's the case u can draw and shoot with 23g 1" better option less scar tissue is draw 23g Shoot with 25g

Anyway spotinjection.com good resource
