It has only been 3 1/2 weeks, so the Test & EQ haven't had enough chance to kick in yet.

Anyone with experience about using the 1 inch needles for glute injections?

1 inch needles are ok for glute injections as long as you don't have a fat ass. If you are only 12% body fat you should be ok. I am about 9 to 10% body fat and they work fine for me, actually they work better than the 1 1/2 because i always seem to hit a vein with the longer sticks in my glutes.
