Appropriate needle length for quad injection

Hi gents,

I've been struggling more and more with pinning glutes as I've put on more mass because my mobility was shocking to start with. My last pin I was shaking so much from trying to hold my position I slipped with the needle in my glute. Not fun.

So I've decided today to attempt to move to quads going forward. The injection went smoothly, no pain while pinning, and only mild pip so far (but its virgin muscle after all) and full control over the needle and aspiration. What a dream.

But I was pinning glutes with a 1.5 inch needle so used that on my quad. I didn't push the needle all the way in to the hilt cause it looked too long. Should I be using a 1 inch for quads?

Hi Bud.

I love pinning quads I only pin quads when self administrating. Like you said full control. I use 1.5 inc and push it all the way in. But I am sure you can use 1inch if you prefer just make sure do it from the side of the quad you know outside front quad. And make sure you get into deep muscke

If your quads are lean then 1 inch is 100%. But remember it's not the size that counts, it's how you use it.

Thanks guys for the info.

Just wanted to update with new information in case other newbies read my opening post here. Don't want to give false information about my experience.

As stated, first quad injection went ultra smooth. Minimal pain. However 4 days later on my left quad.... holy fuck. 2 days after pinning I couldn't bend my leg at the knee. The pain had spread around my entire quad down to my knee. I did a search on our forum on the third day though and found advice about voltaren acti go gel caps and cataflam. Popped one of each and when I woke up the next morning the pain was completely gone and I'm officially mobile again. Not sure what happened between the right and left quad. One difference was on the right quad I pushed the 1.5" needle about 2/3 of the way in (my legs are very lean). Left quad I inserted to the hilt. It was much more painful injecting the gear, so think I'm gonna head out and buy 1" needles before injecting again.
