1/2 slin pin in the shoulder???

[billy34]

Hi all
I have some 1/2 insulin pins and would like to go into my shoulders but don't have any longer lenghts. Can I get by like this?
Thanks

I use slin pins for my rear delts and out tricep head. I would not do side delt unless you are really, really lean.

nope, you wont penetrate into the belly of the muscle. i had a friend do what you want to do and the oil was caught between the fascia and the dermis and boy it hurt and took a long time for the oil to resorb. he got real lucky cause it never caused a fluctuant abcess!!!!!!

The other problem is what are you going to shoot through it, not any oil it will never get through that small an opening. I've used 25g x 1/2" for delts before but my delts are fairly lean and I usually push the skin and all in about another 1/4"-1/2" so I am getting it deep enough. Best bet is don't go any smaller than 3/4", 1" being ideal.

I use 25x5/8 or 27x5/8 and push in..havent had any probs..but I dont go over2ml on delts, and only use sides

I use 25gx1" in side delts and have gone up to 3 cc's with relatively no pain but then again i look forward to every single shot and they just dont faze me...
