Needles Don't Pierce Thigh Muscle

I use V method on quads. Make a V with your index and middle finger, press the tissue down, inject inside the V into the vastus lateralus. I never put much volume in quads anymore, so use a 28g slin pin with zero issues. Used to use 25g 1 inch for larger volumes.

As long as I’ve used gear I’ve used a 21 gauge to draw up (and sometimes inject), and a 23 to inject with. This is for quad or gluteal injections. These are usually 2" needles.

I have some 25s at the moment, and find them way too tedious to draw up with…injecting with them isn’t the worst, but why waste time…with a 21 or 23, boom, you’re done.
