Thread: Pinning depth

all the way in close to the base of the needle. I use a 25G 1 in for all my injections. I do delts, outer quads, and glutes. I have low bodyfat so I get away with the 1 in. for the glute but I make sure it is in all the way. 1.5 in is better for glute though. As long as you have a big slab of muscle at the site you will be ok. If you are really skinny then you might want to use a smaller length.

thanks for the quick replies.....so when you guys insert the needle to you just very slowly push it in until you are almost to the base?

Whatever speed you are comfortable with. Just be steady on the way in to reduce soreness. Thats all

good deal, you guys know any other sites similar to spotinjections, just wanting to look around a bit more

As deep as you can, just leave as much of the pin out so there is enough room for you to get a grip on it, just in case it snaps off. IMHO.

I know a guy that had a needle snap off in his glute. Then he couldn't get it out.

That's why I always keep enough of the needle exposed....just in case that happens and I have to pull it out. I keep a small pair of needle nose pliers in my "pin bag" as well. Ya never know.
