Needle length?

[cachexic]

I think I have the size figured out. I just don't know what needle length to get. This is my first cycle and I'll be using just test.E

So I should use a 21 G to draw the oil, and a 23 G to inject, right?

And what about needle length? 1'' or 1.5''?

Thanks.

Go to HOWTODOINJECTIONS!!!!

Here is what I use...
21G 1.5in to draw out

23G 1in to do Quads, Schoulders

21g 1.5 for Glutes

 

[tenny]

23 1.5

for everything!!!!

no need to complicate it

use smaller if you can, less tissue dmg in the long run, some oils can even use a 28 1in, bitch to draw but goes in fast and painless.

Ive found the 25g for injecting is my favorite for anything besides glutes. It takes a while to push it all out but im in no hurry For glutes i go with 23g because unlike delts or quads you can be sitting and it can be uncomfortable to hold your arm like that around your body for the amount of time it would take to push through a 25g.

I agree with tenny on always using 1 1/2 though. I always like to have some showing just in case some freak accident happens and the needle breaks or something. That way you can pull it out.

K, great. I'll be using only glutes so I'll stick with my plan of 21 G 1.5'' to draw and 23 G 1.5" to inject.

Now, when I stick it in there, it's all the way in, yeah? So the needle should be completely submerged in my skin, out of sight?

Thanks all. You're so good at answering my questions promptly. Really appreciate it.

Not trying to flame you bro but there a lot of great resources here..just use the search button...if you have to ask if the needle has to be completely submerged there's a problem... were here to help but not to answer petty ?'s like that...

I'm not trying to flame either, but you should look up the word petty in a dictionary.

And answers to specific questions like that are not easy to find via a forum search. It's significantly easier to have one of the hundreds of people that are constantly viewing the board to answer it with a simple yes or no.

Simple x3 23g I use 1" cuz I don't pin glutes

There's a sticky labeled, "how to do injections" I don't know how much easier you want it to be... and let me paraphrase just in case you don't comprehend... STICKY=READ=PROBLEM SOLVED.... I know its a lot to take in but breath slowly... you're a prime example of someone who doesn't know what they're doing and has no need injecting anything into their body until they research

I've been researching for several months, maybe 6-7. It's been floating around in my head for ages. I could have started long ago but I told myself I would get to 8% BF BEFORE I started and that's why I've been pushing it off.

I discovered howtodoinjections a long time ago. Their instructions are all right but not 100% thorough.

Just because I'm asking for clarification doesn't mean I'm clueless and haven't done any research. It just means I'm a little nervous and wanted some reaffirmation. You don't have to be so antagonistic.

And besides, what are you, my mother? You have no business telling me what I should and should not be injecting into my muscles. They're my muscles and I paid for the gear with my money. If you don't want to help me then just don't visit my beginner's thread. I don't need the lecture.

Like i said earlier, i personally wouldnt go ALL the way in. If youre at 8% and using an inch and a half needle you dont need to push all the way. I think (paranoia) its safer to have like a quarter inch sticking out just in case some freak accident happens and the needle breaks off. Its happened to a buddy of mine.

I use 25 ga by 1 1/2"... what really helps for me is to stick syringeand needle in warm water and taking a a rag and putting it on wherever I'm injecting... I inject and then put warm rag on area and rub kinda hard to break up oil really helps me.... good luck

Ah, you know I didn't notice you said that earlier. Sorry.

All my questions have been answered. Thanks all.

I was planning on heating up the syringe in a glass of hot water before I injected.

Thx for the tip.

22-23 1.5" for everything. You don't need different sizes to draw and inject. Like Tenny said don't over complicate it. No need to warm anything either. I personally have never heard of anyone breaking a pin off. Guys must be getting pretty rough if there having this happen.

I use 18G to draw and 23G for glute shots..25G for anything else.
I think i'll stick with 23G from now on, not much of a difference in discomfort. And its quicker to shoot with a 23G.
