I've been giving my glutes a break. Too much scar tissue. So, I been hitting my delts twice a week. Test/primo. Putting a little over 1cc in each shoulder. Any of you guys put more than a cc of oil in the delts? Or would that be too much.
I did 1.5ml last night. No issue. I'm just going to hit my delts now from now on. Every three to four days I'm going to do 1 shot and rotate each shoulder.I done 3ml without any issues. Delts is my favorite pinning spot and they can take a lot more oil than ppl think.
I’ve heard of guys doing this, but I can personally only say I’ve done 1cc. Maybe 1.2-3 before, but as a rule I keep them little there.I done 3ml without any issues. Delts is my favorite pinning spot and they can take a lot more oil than ppl think.
You need to explore more sites, longterm. Quads are not so scary like people try to lead you on, just stay towards the tops or outside, or some guys go low. There’s more nerves around the middle of the femur so I avoid that region.I did 1.5ml last night. No issue. I'm just going to hit my delts now from now on.

How come you keep the shots low volume in your delts? It’s easy and painless, plus you’re a decent sized guy so you should have plenty of meat in your shoulders.I’ve heard of guys doing this, but I can personally only say I’ve done 1cc. Maybe 1.2-3 before, but as a rule I keep them little there.
I believe the medical chart I saw once of recommended maximal depot volume didn’t recommend a whole lot for delts. Definitely not 3cc.How come you keep the shots low volume in your delts? It’s easy and painless, plus you’re a decent sized guy so you should have plenty of meat in your shoulders.
I shoot in my quads. Plenty of muscle area, takes less than 30 secs to shoot, push and withdraw. Used to inject my glutes but found quads far easier. Too chicken to try calves. Delts are a no go for me. I use 1.5" and vary the depth to manage seepage, as someone mentioned - it happensYou need to explore more sites, longterm.

Oh man, I wouldn’t use 1.5” in my delts either! I am proud of my delts but they definitely aren’t THAT bigI shoot in my quads.

It’s not my preferred length of a needle but 1.5” is not problem in the delts.Oh man, I wouldn’t use 1.5” in my delts either! I am proud of my delts but they definitely aren’t THAT big
Did my right quad this morning as a matter of fact, 26g 5/8”.
Only time I’ve used a 1.5 in my delts, I didn’t bury it - tried to keep about 1/2” out.It’s not my preferred length of a needle but 1.5” is not problem in the delts.
What’s wrong with you guys, why are you guys scared of a little needle all the sudden???
Haha, I was just messing around. I have used 1.5” in my delts but it was just because I didn’t have anything else, I usually use shorter needles in all places I inject, which is delts and glutes. It’s comes down to preference and what works the best for someone. I’m not sure I’m down with quads for an example.Only time I’ve used a 1.5 in my delts, I didn’t bury it - tried to keep about 1/2” out.
I think there’s simply no reason to get things super deep. Maybe if you want to put 5cc in one depot, but there’s no reason the needle I use for my glutes should be the same for my quads or vg. They don’t have the same amount of fat over them. And I just use 1” on my glutes anymore, even at my fattest, so I can just order 25g 1” and use them anywhere if I want to.
It’s pretty well accepted at this point that they use longer larger needles for IM in medical practice than is generally necessary. Things like convenience of application, consistency of delivery, lack of frequency are things that drive those suggestions. But for someone doing lots of injections all over…do what works best for you. And minimize scar tissue if you have a higher frequency schedule.
I have never done big shots there, just little ones like delts. 26g or smaller, 1cc or less. They say they’re good for as much as anywhere, but I haven’t bothered trying.Haha, I was just messing around.

I really don’t understand how you guys use anything over 25g, to me 25g is annoying enoughI have never done big shots there, just little ones like delts. 26g or smaller, 1cc or less. They say they’re good for as much as anywhere, but I haven’t bothered trying.
But I did try 2cc in my side delt the other week no issue.
Because 25g is the thickest gauge needle I’ve ever used on myself, so that seems pretty good by reference.I really don’t understand how you guys use anything over 25g, to me 25g is annoying enough
Haha, drawing with a 22g is annoying to me as wellBecause 25g is the thickest gauge needle I’ve ever used on myself, so that seems pretty good by reference.
People who used to stick those 18g pre-filled syringes were nuts. I don’t even draw with 18g anymore BECAUSE THEY CORE HOLES IN THE TOPS OF THE VIAL. 22g now to draw.
Lol, back in my no0b days used an 18g blunt nose to draw instead of bevel-ended, totally fuked the stopperBecause 25g is the thickest gauge needle I’ve ever used on myself, so that seems pretty good by reference.

lol yep just left wide open to the environment, probably with little pieces floating around, no less.Lol, back in my no0b days used an 18g blunt nose to draw instead of bevel-ended, totally fuked the stopper
Not to be morbid but for those near death hospital patients who had terrible veins to draw blood, we would use 18G to draw from the jugular vein. If they did not flinch, we knew it was a bad sign. Otherwise using an 18G to draw blood or use as IM is cruel and unusual punishment.i used to use 18 and 21g pins, was putting 1.25ml of trest in the delts years ago.....it gets old real fast
