What size pins would you use for Delt, and Calf inections? Guage, and length? Any tips about injecting in these spots is appreciated. I have only done glute, and quad shots so far, but would like to have more options. I have been to spotinjections.com, but your input is appreciated too. Thanks

What are you using for your glute and quad injections?
I use 25g 1" for both of those.
(I have used 25g 5/8" too). Basically I use 25g for all oil based injections, and 25g-30g for water based stuff, depending on whether I'm doing an IM or SC injection, if I'm mixing it with anything, if I'm injecting more than 1cc, etc.
Delts are a ***** to aspirate, for me at least. I've caused extra soreness by moving the damn needle around, so no secrets there from me, except to try to keep the needle steady
Calves freak some people out, but are a snap for me. You can do both heads of the gastroc, just go into the meaty part, make sure your leg is relaxed and calf isn't flexed when you insert the pin, it helps to flex your calf first to determine where you're going to inject. I have hit a vein in one calf, and a nerve in the other, but not a big deal really.

depends on what your injecting.
I use 25g for delts. If I can fit it through a 28g, then I use 28g for calves, otherwise its 25g for them too.x|Fluid|x is presenting REAL opinions and DOES encourage and condone the use of steroids or other illegal/legal substances that may be used in an illegal manner.
