I like to use a Needle length that is more than half an inch in my Delts but not quite a inch. which needle Size is the one between 0.5 inch & 1inch. is it the 5/8 inch size? kind regards, Daniel
yes 5/8 is slightly longer than 4/8 (1/2).

Thanks NH Brother, would that be slightly better than Shallow I.M into DELTS and get it in the muscle tissue a few deeper? Nelson Vergel uses half inch. but personally would you use 3 quarters of an inch needle all the way in? just wondering if it was you injecting your delts. @NH_Watts
If you are relatively lean there then I would think 1/2" would suffice. Im a bit thicker so Id go slightly longer. That being said I’d just shoot it in my quad

Dude you’re a MANIAC!!! shooting in QUADS you’re a TOUGH MAN lol. Well do you WALK okay after every shot? or was it only First time VIRGIN muscle pain? then after that every shot was painless in Quad?? i would do it, long as i can walk & train in GYM regular. : ) @NH_Watts
It made a big difference to switch from 22g to 27g. Painless.

So you’re managing fine injecting your Testosterone in your quads with a 27G no Leakage or SPILL out of Gear? gets all way into the Muscle Area yes??? really 25g for both thighs ? @NH_Watts
I never had any problem with the larger needles other than pain/pinch. Once I switched to the smaller 27g 1.5" needles the pain was gone. I would switch between legs and also injection location. I do SubQ now into my belly with a 5/8" 30g needle.

i am worried about SUB Q test injections on TRT simply because spillage or leakage back out from the belly? and even though of abcess is it all this common or very unlikely and fine?
Never heard of any problems here or in my travels. Not sure why there would be spillage?

Thanks for resolving thing above though regarding Needle Size. i definitely like to get the 5/8 to try out too.

dude, quads are like the easiest injection site in the world. And really, really common. I’ve injected in my quads literally hundreds of times, often 3mL per shot.
Also, I use 5/8 needles for all my shots, but I’m very lean. 1" is probably more appropriate for most sites if you have some fat on you.

@flipcollar Hi Brother, is it all Paranoia that Men get injecting their quads they gonna hit blood vessels or veins, a load of bull? and is it very Safe to rotate thighs? just wondering i think is personal preference because Nelson Vergel from ExcelMale has been injecting his Delts shoulders for past 15+ years. @flipcollar
it’s possible to hit a vein, but as I just said, I’ve done it hundreds of times, and it happened to me once. and of course you can rotate thighs. Why would that not be ok? did you think you could only do one thigh? Don’t ask stupid questions, you’ll annoy everyone here.
I don’t care what Nelso Vergel does. That’s one person. I do delt shots too. Quads and delts are all I use. Delts leak more than quads, but don’t hurt as much, for me. Injections tend to go in faster in delts too. My quads take awhile.

Thanks bro, that explains everything i needed to know. Delts less pain, but more leak. i might take that into account. because Delts i felt most comfortable with. Maybe should stick with that as first choice, because Delts feel more natural to me.
SOMETIMES I get some oil coming out of the injection site. Its usually a very small amount. But to a new user I could see how this would be concerning.
Finger over injection site for 20-30 seconds takes care of it, but still sometimes I get a little oil on my finger or at the site.

Thanks @anon10035199 how many years or months you been on TRT treatment now man? just wondering. i am quite new 2 months on TRT previously it was Testosterone cream transition to Injections.
over 2 years.
I use 1/2 easy touch 28 gauge on delts. I also place my finger tip on the injection site for 20 to 30 seconds. I notice a little oil on my finger tip but I dont think its “leakage” . There is normally a bead of oil on the tip of the syringe right before I inject and I think that’s where the oil on my fingertip comes from. “Leakage” is really a non issue.
