ya your probably good with 5/8 for delts , I usualy use 1" everywhere, as for your quads, you wanna inject the outer middle area I would say, i do them often and still hit nerves and shit all the time. the best thang to do is push the pin in slowly and direct it if it doesn't feel good. alot of people dont like quads its a sensitive area.

I tend to use 1.5" most everywhere, but 1" is good too. What I found with shallower injections is that they tended to result in more inflammation for ME. Try it. If it doesn't work switch to 1" :)

Quads were easy until my body fat came down. At 15% and above I could pin pretty much anywhere in the vastus lateralus

Now that my BF is close to 12% I'm have a tough time finding a spot that doesnt have nerves or veins. It was my favourite spot to pin till recently. Now I find myself avoiding it or getting anxious about it.

Use a full inch. Having a deposit of oil sitting near the surface makes you look like a ****ing juicer tool. Nothing worse than a guy with visible oil pockets all over the place. That's just my opinion though. I like to be subtle about it.

Superficial matters aside, having a bolus of oil buried deep is nothing. Shallow injections can lead to unnecessary pain. I've pinned quads on and off. Stopped for over a year because of nerves but started up again last week and it's not bad at all. Pinning test prop and tren ace with no problems. Once you do hit a nerve or a big vein it makes you cautious, but if you're lean enough you can spot them. I can see all the veins in my leg so it's a piece of cake, aside from hitting random nerves.

I would use a 1" for everything except glutes unless you are cut and have a very low BF % then you can pin 1 inch everywhere. There is no point in having oil sitting at the surface of your skin for cosemetic and common sense reasons. Use the outer part of your quad, half way between your trochanter and your knee. This is a very dense muscle.

Don't love legs much myself and quite often hit or graze a nerve but pretty much mandatory if pinning daily or EOD. Something you said though doesn't make sense. You said, "my legs are kind of skinny and you want to build them up". Pinning quads won't build up your legs. ????

some people still beleive in spot injecting and spot reduction
