I want to try 29 x 1/2 inch needle for IM Ventro glutes and Delts, Sustanon .16ml.
Insuline needles seems to work for a lot of guys for all kinds of T.
I’m not sure if i reach IM or shallow IM with an insulune needle. How will i know, just try? And what if i inject and it doesn’t reach IM. What happens?
Thanx!
Its fine.
Will work.
I use 1/2” for delts and quads and 1” for glutes. My glutes are fairly lean and I don’t think 1/2” would be enough FOR ME.
Do you mean ventroglues or dorsalglutes?
Delts should be fine for most of us even though it isn’t in the medical field. For me glutes with 1/2 inch needles works as well with either my body responding well to shallow IM or Subq.
I used 29 gauge insulin syringes for years injecting into the deltoids and quads, at the time I was 35% BF, it felt the same as using 18 gauge syringes in the quads as far as response to TRT.
Ask for the pain for the injection using the 18 guage, ouch!
I found that 1/2” wasn’t deep enough anywhere I tried. Would always get leakage, but I was injecting 0.5-1ml on injection days. Now I just use 23G 1” needles in the VG and thighs. No pain to speak of unless I hit a vein, but a little practice and you should be able to avoid that every time.
Wow, scary. That will develop a lot of scar tissue over the years
Why did you switch to the bigger needles?
I inject every 7days. Not sure how much worse that would be for scarring than someone injecting daily or eod with a smaller needle. I do rotate 8 injection sites.
I didn’t feel any different injecting daily, EOD, E3D or weekly, feel good on all of those protocols. So just opted for the most convenient solution, drawing with 21G and injecting with 23 just because that’s what the doctor sends me in the mail. I’m also not patient enough to draw through an insulin syringe, especially in the cold weather where I live and the oil isn’t as viscous.
That make sence. What are your 8 rotationsites?
Thigh, quad, VG, glute, both sides
Can you describe the difference between thigh and quad? Thanks.
Yeah, I guess technically it’s both quad, 3 inches apart or so.
Do you inject 1 ml in the VG? Seems too much to me in such a small muscle
Yeah, never had an issue with it. It’s my preferred injection site.
Here’s an article showing max volumes for muscle groups:
I will say, I’ve had 6ml injected in each of my delts before (by a doctor), so there you go, lol.
Thank you, very helpfull
