Thread: 1 Inch needle for glute injections

I used 1.5 for glutes, but did not experience soreness either (well, with AP, I had wicked soreness and swelling and pain with my first supplier).

ive always used 1 inch for glutes no problems, actually have less pain in glutes, my favorite pin site

Cool man, thanks! I just want to make sure I'm getting it into the muscle and not just injecting it subcutaneous.

If you're pushing an extra 1/4" after the pin is all the way in you might as well consider upping to a 1-1/2". I judge pin size by the volume being injected. Anything over 2 ccs I use the 1.5" to ensure a deep muscular delivery. Otherwise the 1" has always worked fine. This is for those of us with reasonable BF and not a layer of whale blubber covering our arses.

Agreed guessing at bf like the op said isnt the best measure lol I wouldnt use pain as a gauge on the depth of my injections though lol! If you arent sure spend the $3 and get some 1.5" imo

I still think 1.5 is the way to go for glutes...

1" or 1.5" works just fine unless you're pinning through a bunch of fat.

I just shot three CC's of test E, tren A, and EQ into my glutes using an inch needle. I dont feel like theres any buildup under the skin. I want to use an 1.5 needle but every drugstore denies me and the source I use just gives me whatever he has on him.

1 inch works for me no prob.
