whats the smallest pin

[sscar]

whats the smallest pin I can use to shoot test in my glute,and smallest in my quad I am pretty lean

Good question.

Ive done slin pins in my quads too many times to count.
The smallest Ive ever gone in my glutes is 25g 1inch.

Smallest as in length or gauge? I think most use 25g 1.5" glute and 1" quad, at least that's what I'm doing now. Some of the long timers use 23g because they say they have built up some scar tissue over the many years...

And when you say pretty lean, lean as in low bf,or lean as in weighing 150?

Consider this - if you're scared of the pain, it takes a lot more time/pressure if you use a smaller gauge needle.

The general consensus is 25 or 27 gauge. 27 will take much longer than 25.

I have used slin pins in quads a lot. I use 25 or 23 in the glutes just to make sure it gets way down in there since I am using more ml in the glute.

I use 25g 1" for everything. Glutes, delts, tri's, lats

 

[SloppyJ]

1" for quad/delt and 1.5" for glute. 25-23g.

I use 25 to 28g shoulders[slin pin or 1''] 23g 1 1/2 '' glutes and either a slin or 25g 1'' for my quads.....

I pin gear with a 3/8"-1/2" 29g insulin syringe pushed hard into my quads. Takes some time, just run it under hot water for a minute. Painless and easy... but you need to be very lean.

lean as in bodyfat,I am 5'10" 220 right now.I usually do one cycle a year and I diet down to 205 before I start that puts me under 10 percent body fat.

OK i use a 23 gauge 1.25 in Glutes and have noticed the last few weeks that a couple of hours after i get a small sore lump that lasts for days. Is this because the pin is too short for 22% b/f. My thoughts are yes it is and the juice is coming back up the hole made by the pin and not going deep enough into the muscle.

Unless you never stop going off cycle (blast and cruise for life) or pin with something like a 20 regularly, scar tissue isn't really an issue.

Yes. Cut some weight or go up to the 1.5. 1.5 is what people with 10% use on their glutes normally..

Thank's for that squigader. Body fat is slowly coming down, Late December i was 252lb now down to 228lb. But my weights are still slowly increasing, So I'm a happy chappy.
