important injection question

[mxim]

i use a 1 inch syringe to inject my test cyp; usually in my glutes. today,when i injected,it went in about 3/4 of the way and then stopped. i must have hit a vein or something. instead of pushing the extra 1/4 inch,i just injected while 3/4 of the way in. keep in mind i have low body fat,especially in my glues. i am about 8% bodyfat. my question is this: is injecting a 1 inch syringe and only going in 3/4 of the way enough for the drug to disperse properly/absorbed? i know the lable says deep intra muscular injection.
thanks

Well, the standard is 1.5" for glutes, but if you are 8% bodyfat, then that is pretty darn low.

You can miss the muscle completely and the testosterone will still be absorbed, but I doubt that is what happened.

I think a 1 inch pin is fine for injections...depending on how much fat you have around your muscle...at 8% you don't have an inch of fat around the glutes... It justhas to get into the muscle..and I think at even 3/4 of inch will do for most of us average joe's.....

I just can't see how you do this shot back there but my Dr. uses a one and a half inch. long needle there.
