Re: Delt Injections

I USE 25G 5/8 DELTS ARE THE EASIEST BUT IF YOU EVER HAVE A BAD INJECT AND IT KNOTS UP OR STAYS SORE. YOU WILL KNOW IT EVERYTIME YOU WORK ANY UPPERBODY UNTIL THE SORENESS GOES AWAY.

yeah i hate that... even worse if you hit tri's or bi's before the soreness is gone from the shoulder then alot of times the shoulder will be sore until the irritation and swelling is out of your bi's or tris. This is my experience in the past at least. must be pressure on the nerve that runs through the arm. Oh well, lol... gotta pay to play.

Re: Delt Injections

i got 1/4 inch in and there was an extremely sharp/tender pain so i pulled out, i think there is too much going on up there, to many things in the way so im gonna stick to quads/glutes for now. I have 0 bodyfat on my shoulders should I use a smaller needle?

Re: Delt Injections

if your shoulders have striations all over the place and are just ripped to shreds, a 5/8" would suffice, just go all the way in. thats what i used on my delts when injecting my sust a couple of years ago, no problem. i'd just go with 5/8's bro.

Re: Delt Injections

you were probably just close to a nerve, move 1/4 inch any way and try again. you are using 25g pin right?
