For the glute I use both 1" and 1.5" and switch it up on occasion. Reasoning behind this is that it helps with scar tissue by altering the 'deposit' depth of the steroid.
- for the quad I use just 1" though.
Note: if u got a fat ass though, I'd recommend just 1.5"
Ya mines pretty thick lol....how would you tell if the test reached the muscle or not if you did it in your glute?
Well I've knotted up both times....hopefully wasn't a waste of shotsIf it knots up really quickly, then u need to go deeper.
FYI quad shots are the easiest to do urself and getting it deep in the muscle is almost always guaranteed in the quad with a 1" pin

don't think its a waste, If you didn't get deep into the muscle then the only effect that I'm aware of would perhaps be a slightly slower absorption rate. Get 1.5" pins for your glute then.
Im done with glutes man too much reaction lol..gonna try quads....right above my ass crack about 2-3in is crazyyyy sore on the tailbone and slightly to the side....from that pic I posted did pin postion look ok
Injection sight looked good.. Upper outer quadrant. Yea try the quad on the meatiest upper mid section. I've never head a prob with quad shots.. Though the other day I hit a vein, I pinned and aspirated and no blood, but something just didn't feel right (usually its smoothe as butter).. So I decided not to push the plunger, pulled out (bled, which it usually never does) and started over with a new location and new pin. I'd rather stick myself twice then inject and seep into a vein and get all dizzy and crap.
Note: if u end up having pinning issues u can always try to slinpin the test in ur delt.. As long as ur fairly lean.
Do you have a pic that you think represented the quad location well? Any opinion on the tailbone pain as well? Myabe just the oil putting pressure on that spot maybe?
I don't have a quad injection pic.. I just do it based on feel on the meatiest part of the quad (mid top area.. but not straight on top, slightly to the side).
FYI - Just for the fun of it I pinned 100 mg 1ml of test prop in my quad this morning using a Slin Pin and a 25g 5/8 pin.. It went smooth as butter. So u can try to pin with a slin pin in the quad ( I have really lean quads). Absolutely zero pain, and no knotting, and not a drop of blood. Just figured I'd do it to test it out. Of course when I pin test and deca together it's a lot more then 1cc so I cant use a slin pin.
Also, you can spend $30 and buy a B vitamin injection kit. Use the kit to practice pinning yourself in different locations (I first started pinning my quads with b12 just to get used to it).
As for the tail bone pain.. I'm guessing the pain first started at the knot right at the injection site on your glute.. then began to radiate to the tail bone. I believe this if from the absorption and migration of the test/oil.. it's all virgin muscle and it just gets inflamed from the substance itself (not the injection). My tail bone hurt after the first 5 or so injections.. but not anymore.
google Slin Pin.. Just a little tiny insulin syringe. Not intimidating, easy as hell to inject, and there is no inject pain at all.
If you plan on post cycle therapy (pct) with Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) or ever using HGH then you'll need slin pins. They are good to have around, and I just found another use for them today. Easy breezy quad injection.
As for your glute injection, I'm sure some of it made it to the muscle, and if it knotted up right away then some it may have been sub-q as well. Its still gonna absorb.
