Is a 20g too big for glutes?

[I B-CUMNZ]

I have access to all different sizes. Thus far I think the 20g is fine I'd just like a second opinion.

I would recommend a 22 or 23 gauge x 1.5" for glutes. The 20 will work fine but will hurt more and build more scar tissue. Go slow with injection, about 1 minute per cc being injected. Check out howtodoinjections.com for some more info.

i use 25ga, 20 seems like a cannon, go as small as possible for scar tissue purposes like marooned said.

I would use 23g 1.5 in.

20g is too big too shoot anywhere! Use that to draw up and as the others said, 23,25 to shoot. Go slow and be careful!

spotinjections.com is a terrible site. Some of the advice on it is down right dangerous. It is responsible for a huge amount of misinformation about doing injections.
That's why I created www.howtodoinjections.com It is the correct site on performing injections and it is now even quoted in the medical fields.

20G is wayy too much in my opinion. I use the 20s to draw with but I'd never shoot with them unless I absolutely had to. I can only imagine - probably be about like using a toothpick! No thanks

I use 25g 1" for everywhere, but for the past few years I only shoot quads now. 20g is way too big for anywhere IMO.

Big A, what advice on spotinjections do you consider dangerous? From what I can tell, I don't see any bad advice at all on that site. Granted, I haven't been there in a while though....

WOW, Can't say I have ever heard anyone using 20G when it comes to injecting.
Use nothing larger then 23G for the glute.

agree with this. Use 23g 1 1/2 or 1 1/4.

From quick memory, the glutes and quad instruction/pics show you exactly how to hit the nerves, that's how wrong they are.

Thanks

Well, I appreciate the advice. I went to the howtodoinjections.com and they said to use a 23 or 25x1". That's what got me thinking. I've been using the 20gx1.5" without any problems. I'll be switching to the 25gx1'' from here on out. I've stayed in the upper outer quadrant switching cheeks and only doing eod's. So, I don't even have a lump. I'm also only running 75mg of Tren Ace eod with 50mg Anadrol orals ed. I understand this should be a decent mass builder and keep my sides low. I'm a obviously a novice and in 3 years have naturally put on an extra 30lbs. I'm not trying to anything too crazy right now. Oh, and the main reason I started with the 20g is b/c I read it in an article Valentino wrote like 2 years ago. Should've known better I guess. Thanks for the help. I love this forum.
