Missing the glute

[FordTurboDiesel]

Well, er.....you wouldn't think so....but I think I may have. Now to give you an idea....I have NO ASS. None. Nothing there. I was shooting Npp and Cyp.

I put the NPP, all felt fine.

Went down a couple inches towards heavier part of the glute and it just didn't feel like I got the muscle. When I flex my glute....its right there...you wouldn't think there is any way of missing it. If I relax it, it doesn't feel like the muscle is anywhere near where I shot.
Whats worst case scenario if I got into what little bit of fatty tissue I have?

Just slow absorbtion?

[da-sol]

Yup Just slow absorbtion.

[FordTurboDiesel]

Well, hrm....shit. I wonder how long it take to absorb through fatty tissue vs. muscle. You know....it just didn't feel the same. SOmetimes I'll put myself into a little agony by flexing the muscle just to see if Im in.......

On the NPP I was, but I didn't really flex on the cyp to make sure. It hurts flexing your muscle with a metal stick in it! :)

How long was the pin?

[FordTurboDiesel]

Swoll, it's 1.25

[bigboi8225]

I would use 1.5, i tried 1.25 and didnt feel right in glute.
and try injectiong into quads, it doesnt hurt at all just inject slow.

[FordTurboDiesel]

ALrighty. I have 1.5"s in 21g. I never shot with a 21g but I don't want to buy new pins when I have these. I'll grin and bear it.

[FordTurboDiesel]

btw.....can you use 1.25's in the quad????

[SwoleTexasKid]

Ford

By the sound of things, I really dont think you missed the glute. It is damn near impossible to miss the glute, its such a large muscle.

I think you are just paranoid, a 1.25 will not go through the glute into something else, and if you placed it in your buttock area, you are good...

When you flex your ass you can see the muscle is quite large. The pin reached it, even though it wasnt flexed and to the surface.

two words: scar tissue

larger needles will create more scar tissue. I use 23 ga 1.5. You could use the 21's until your 23's arrive, my point being:ORDER SOME 23 1.5's.

21's are just to big to use more than a few times IMO

[bigboi8225]

I use 1" 25g in the quads, feels perfect. You can use 1.25 just leave a little bit sticking out, and am assuming those are 23g

I've used 22g 1" on my delts couple times and didnt feel a thing, so i think you should be fine with 21g in your glute.
Try it if it hurts just order some new ones and you can use those for drawing out.

[bigboi8225]

and yeah scar tissue is another thing, just order some new ones and use those till they arrive.

Hey Swoll, I know there is no way I went through......my intent of the post was whether it did or didn't reach the glute. LOL!

Thanks though. My ass ain't that small.
I'll take everyone's advice and get different pins. I don't think I ever had a problem with the 1.25's, but doing 7cc's a week combined makes me think I ought to switch shit up a little.

I had an experience where it went through with a 1.5. I shot a little higher than normal.Shit sat in one place for a week, between the maximus and the medius, and then fell and created a huge amount of inflammation around the sciatic and in the hip. It was painful for week. Doc thought I had avascular necrosis but the xrays came back negative. Just part of the game.

Oh well in that case, Unless you are a huge fatass with a lot of lard on your ass, then I would not worry a 1.25 should hit it no problem

[da-sol]

Ford I used 25G 1.25'' for the glute with no problems. 1.25'' is long enough.
Also don't use the 21G for long Get the 23G or even 25G.

[cobra633]

I use .21 for mixing only.Use .23x 1" or 1.5.If you have no ass then then hilting the 1" will be fine.If you had a fat ass the 1.5 is a must.JMO.

[FordTurboDiesel]

eh...ok.
I really do have no ass, never did. I always used to gain weight in my gut and nowhere else. I kind of wish I could gain a little weight there....but I guess gaining none is better than gaining it all! :)

Thanks guys!

[fr8lnr01]

The issue is the amount of tissue between the dermis and the muscle. I imagine most of us are in pretty good shape, so the 1" pins should be okay.

btw.....can you use 1.25's in the quad????

"Sure! 21 gauge/1.25 needle/syringe laterally to either left or right quadriceps."
