Going to start a cycle of test prop soon. All my cycles have been Enan and I used 26g 1&1/2.

Suggestions for the pin size and some "whys"? Just pin size...I don't need cycle advice

Thanks brothers!

Here is what I use brother. 1/2" for delts and triceps, 1" for quads and glutes and I go with 25g. Slin pin for 1cc or under and thin oil.

Why? I keep it simple, shorter pin for smaller muscle, longer pin for bigger muscle and 25 is an all around good gauge IMO. I draw with a 23g.

I use 27 x 1/2 for everything. Although I use slins sometimes just be cause I have a bunch of them laying around.

Thanks brothers!

I've never done sub Q injects before but will be running smaller trt doses(sub 1cc). Anything particular I need to know? IM is easy, and sub Q is probably as well. Just don't like not knowing something I need to know before embarking on it!

I've always had a hard time pushing oil through anything smaller than a 25g. Forget about drawing it. Save yourself some aggravation and get some 19 or 20g to draw. I use a 1.5 inch for everything and just estimate depth based on the muscle. I always go about 1" for delts; otherwise it's too shallow. For tri's, bi's etc. I go 1/2"; 1" for quads. So far, after all this time, I've never pinned my glutes. Always been scared.

I've only pinned glutes. It's the best. I tried quad once but hated it!

I use a loading pin with syringe then backload slin pins for most of my injections. For others I go with 25-27G and and 5/8 to 1 inch length.

I always draw with a 23. THe 23 is sufficient to draw because I'll draw air into the barrel first and push that into the vial before drawing to create pressure. The barrel will literally draw and fill itself. At that point, I'll swap out the 23 and grab a 25. A 1" for glutes, quads or lats, 5/8" for delts, tris or ventral glute where there's very little fat.

I do 1" for glutes, the 1.5" is just too big haha...
Usually 25g
For Quads I use slin pins
I havent tried any other place but I like quads I have 3-4 spots on each one I can hit each week

You talking a 30g slin pin? how do you guys get the oil into the barrell of a slin pin? Also, does it even flow through a 30g? I would much rather start doing that!!!

Now on similar topic... How do you minimise oil wastage or is it inevitable?

Like Sandpig i use 27g 1/2" for everything, sometimes a 27g 1.25" for glutes. The slightly longer injection time doesnt bother me. To me its worth less scar tissue. I always draw with 22 or 23g then switch to the 27's to inject
