Quad injection with 1/2 inch needle 10% bf is it long enough?

[La_pantera]

I like inject in my quads but i do it with 27g 1inch and it feels a little bit to long and i was thinking would i be able to do it with 1/2 inch instead and get it deep enough into the muscle?

I am lean around 10% bf

I use 1/2" on quads without issue since my skin there has no underlying tissue to get through. I do suggest pushing as deep as far ass possible ( maximum dimpling the skin ).

how many ml do you inject and does it become little swollen the next day? i done it before 1ml but i am scared the oil does not go deep intra and it become little bit swollen.

it depends what it is and how long it’s been since i pinned that site or near to it.

most things i can do 2-2.5ml comfortably

something w no ester i would expect swelling

there also seems to be different spots that get swelling and soreness no matter what. If you’re having to push the plunger harder than normal i would definitely expect swelling

i’ve never had it become an issue that needed intervention though, swelling subsides in less than a week

nsaids, ice, massage if you want to speed it up

For some reason pinning with a 1” in my quads causes more PIP than using a 5/8”.

I haven’t used 3ml with a 5/8” but 2ml works well. If I’m pinning 1cc I’ll use 1/2” insulin pin in quads .
