5/8th vs 1 inch

[ultrasafe]

So I have been reading many threads on pinning that have been recently being posted.

First I have never pinned before and I have some websites I can refer from on how to. Plus this site is very helpful as well.

I am a pretty slim guy and looking to work quad shots and probably one side of my glute (once I get good practise than I will do the reach around with my wrong hand for the other side of my glut..lolol.).

Sooo Questions, how far does the needle have to go in?? I have had both 1 and 1.5 size in my hand and did an EO test half way in my quad. But man i am afraid the 1.5 would be too long, i don't want it to hit the bone etc.. That is possible right??

So would it be better to use a 25g 1inch and leave a little of the needle exposed (if so how much???) or 25g 5/8th all the way in.??

thanks

It depends on how much muscle and fat you have, I highly doubt you will hit your bone with a 1" needle in your quad....same goes for a 1.5", but if you have very little fat or muscle then of course it's possible, that being said, if there is only 1 inch of muscle on your quads then you should probably reconsider doing steroids anyway.

5/8" is too short for the majority of people...unless you are close to contest shape ie 4-6% BF use a 1" pin...much better choice. If you inject correctly in the proper sites...ie delts, glutes you will never hit a bone.

25 gauge 1 inch you will be fine :)

I do 1.5 in the delts with no problem, and I'm not huge.

1.5 for glutes and 1 for everything else worked for me. I'm not fat or very lean either.

I started off really skinny and have always used 25g 1 inch for both quads and glutes no probs , could probably get away with 5/8 in the delts.

"if there is only 1 inch of muscle on your quads then you should probably reconsider doing steroids anyway."

Actually one could make the argument that the person in that boat needs them the most and would benefit the most. Some people have an extremely hard time putting on muscle. Steroids help anyone. As long as you train properly and eat well while you use the drugs responsibly, there shouldn't be some kind of "fit level" beginner level you have to attain before using. If that was the case, they wouldn't be of any use to AIDS patients or people with wasting problems.

Hey Nisser, yup don't deny that i am freaked out about needles..lolol

AND Lukin2grow...excellent comment to that response. I am aware many are here to help on this site. but sometimes there r a few that get a brain fart..lololol.

Thanks for all your guys help..

Don't do the noob stunt and touch the needle shaft. Don't ask how I know LOL, just say I got lucky and didn't get an infection.

Get some B12 and do a few practice sticks. B12 doesn't require a prescription, and can be injected intermuscular and subcutaneous (in the fat just under the skin).

[ultrasafe]

thanks Macka, ya no worries about the precautions i need to take to be safe. Hence my name ultrasafe..lolol..

AS for vitamine B12, you said no prescription needed, so you ask for it over the counter?? Where did or do you get yours?? Shoppers??

I absolutely hate needles, but i do 22g at one and a half inches long.

When i go glutes i put the needle most of the way in, and quads i only go one inch in and leave half an inch out.

Pinch the skin/fat to see how far you need to go past it then I add about 3/4 an inch into the muscle. That's just my personal opinion though.
