1.5 inch delt shot

[tommyboy11]

hey guys i just wanted to know you opinions on 1.5 inch 23 gauge shots in the delts, i have been taking them this way and have noticed you reccomend 1 inch, just curious i have had no problems with them.

you probably have thick delts....most people don't hold a lot of fat on their arms so 1" is deep enough....1.5" is usually needed for glute shots because most people have extra padding on their asses.

thanks for the quick response, well lets say i dont have alot of fat up there, could i be injecting farther down then the muscle goes, i mean like i said i have not had a problem, but would it matter if iwhen i shoot it its goin in too far, or should i just stick to glute shots with the 1.5 and get 1 inch pins for delts, thanks in advance.

I tried a 23g @ 1.5" "once" and it felt like I got shot.

I have decent delts so I'm assuming I just hit a bad spot. I didn't try it again but if I did it would certainly be with a 25g @ 1"

damn, 1.5" is deep for the delt IMO...

I don't know what would happen if you went through the delt and injected on the otherside of the muscle....I would stick to 1" pins in delts from now on...you don't need to go 1.5" deep on a delt shot. (unless your delts look like coleman/cutler)
