Im slightly chubby but not fat, will a 1 inch needle still work for glute pins?

[WereAllGonnaMakeIt]

I put some serious mass on this cycle, including some extra fat lol. For my test E injections I am nervous that a 1 inch needle wont do, just a little chubby tho not fat.. thoughts?

yes. i started my cycle as "fat" used 1" and have never had a problem. unless someone corrects me, i usually swap spots, but i pin two finger width from my pant seem, when it gets sensitive or sore, ill pin further into my actual ass cheek, if that makes sense. i bury 1" in glute, quad, lat, and shoulders and have never had a problem. im 255 rn

One inch will do, try ventroglute if you’re extra worried about it.

Even if it doesn’t get past the fat wouldn’t it still end up being subQ? Might absorb at a little slower rate, but should still get used. Might have a couple lumps for a bit.

Depends where your pinning. I ordered 5/8 before and injecting in my glute I def missed for a few weeks and started feeling the sides of low t as I just cruise year round.

I've always used 1 inch. Pinning in your tri would like be fine regardless. Some of my friends only use 1.5 inch and that seems a little excessive, but never a complaint.

my left side is super senstive compared to my right? like i rotate pinning from glute, quad, back, and shoulder. i can bury the needle in my glute no problem but trying to pin on my left side, turns me into a pussy? any thoughts, its mainly my quad? ive done them flexed, relaxed, pinched the skin, stretched the skin everything and their is no relief. maybe im just a pussy. i will pin the tri next pin! pinning my shoulder, in my line of work, isnt the best. lol

I’ve always had a fear of pinning tri’s after Bostin loyde’s incident.

bostins death had nothing to do with tri pins? tri a muscle?

as far as i know he was in advance stage kidney failure from taking like 10x the recomm amount of a new fat burner via dave palombo. obviously boston had a lot of other factors affecting his health. if triceps pins are unhealthy, please lmk cause im pinning in them today. lol

No.. the reason his tricep was scarred is because he pinned it, hit a nerve, and got an infection that fucked up his tricep.

Be careful where you pin.. I have a hard time believing you hit a bone since where you should probably pin your clavicle is in front of your trap and your first rib shouldn’t be in the way. Unless you hit your scapula which seems like a reach.

Gotta get under that fat layer of sub q can be hard

Idk what I hit it just felt like rock solid. I have pretty strong traps but doubt that had anything to do with it since I have no time getting the needle in for deltoid. Only gonna try that trap pin again as a last resort but I just did my 16th week of my Test E cycle so fortunately no more pins for a while (im sore lol)
