Pinning 101

[3lb Burrito]

Anyone have an easy reference sheet for which size pins to use for which injection sites?

Something like

Abdomen SubQ: 31g 5/16"
Quad SubQ: whatever's right for that
Quad IM: 25g 1"

Or whatever they are. The TRT clinic sent me home with a bag of needles and instructions to shoot glute every time and from what I gather that's not the way to go. I don't mind building a mini pharmacy but I need to know what to use where.

Thanks...

30G everything.

I only pin delts.

I have only tried to SubQ a few times with Test, and I am not a fan. Left me with huge bumps, so I am strictly a IM only guy now.

I would go 25g or better on the needle, as oils are a bitch to draw up if you go smaller. I alternate between glutes, delts, and quads.

I am a big fan of subq, just use the standard insulin pins 29G half inch in your glutes/hips and you'll be ok. No need to go stomach or other places. Also don't go with smaller than half inch because you need to reach the fat area and not the skin. These are good for water based stuff, the oils might cause you lumps. I was pinning every day for 9 months in glutes only, TRT doses and cycle doses with other compounds as well and i had no problem. I'm doing an experiment now with IM but i think after this cycle i'll go back to subq.

Also, you can go IM with 29G half inch if you do side delts, rear delts and quads, unless your bodyfat is over 20-25%

Oils IM length and bore according to ffat and how thick is the oil

Peptides SQ, most are going fine with 32g insulin needles

You can back fill a 29g if you want a smaller needle for more frequent injections.

I already have a boatload of 25s that need to be used, so I am all good. I also only do one injection of each per week (250 Test-C + 200 Tren-Hex). The HGH will be subQ, but that is going in a pen.

Depends on the barrel size.. if it's a 1ml barrel I use 27gauge 1.25 inch. If it's 3ml barrel 25 gauge 1.5 inch vglute, D glute and quads. 1 inch in delts.. I buy thin wall needles.. Nipro and BD make them.. they are about 3x more money though. I like excel 3ml barrels and doctor's choice 1ml barrels. I always heat my oils on a warmer. I can't say for sure the thin Wall needles are worth the money... I use them anyway.. I think the TW 27g 1.5 BD are 45$ per 100 and the 25 g are 25$

I have about 6 ergo 2 pens.. they are cheap and work great.

I have 3 different types. If you’re asking me brand or model I have no idea. They came from AliExpress. All of them work reasonably well
