1 inch for glutes works fine

[proline88]

i use 1 inch needles for everything and works fine

Works fine, as in what? It reaches your muscle? A 1.5" pin is recommended for the glute because there is more fat there and it has to reach your muscle. What works for you, might not work for others.

Use the 1' 1/2 needle as suggestion by "newyorker" for a much deeper intramuscular injection.

1" has always worked well. so long as it is in muscle its going to work. less tissue damage in the long run i feel.

I've been injecting since the 1980's. Personally unless you are under 6 foot, and in the single digits in body fat you should not even consider bootin the glutes with a 1". Trust me, I know. I got a 'lump' in my left glute that I thought was no big deal. I only inj once a week and switched sides back then. Well story short I was just at the tip of the glute muscle and each inj would cause more scaring tisue in that spot. By the time I figured it out it was probably the size of a golf ball. I leaned out for a contest and it looked like a bad sythrol shot so I skipped the show. Thank goodness it didn't turn into an abcess and it did finally go away where you can't see it visually about five years later. Today, I use a 1.5 inch in my delts, legs, etc. I have never shot that glute since that happened and can still feel a small marble there. Don't take a chance, use a1.5" . FYI there is a big demand building in the medical field for 2" needles for the general public as we as a nation become fatter and fatter.

Utiron, Thanks for the complement, I'm bragging now but this is the truth, I use 1.5 in my bi's too.
