if you're injecting into your quad, does it matter how big (or small) your quad is. My quads are pathetic, very skinny... I'm thinking there just isnt enough muscle for me to pin there. would it hurt more if its a smaller muscle? be ineffective? i didn't want to do it in the quad but sometimes i may have to do it myself and i dont think i could reach my glute properly.

I prefer pinning quads. Always have because it's easier to reach and manage the injection. I use a 1" needle -- either 23ga or 25ga. That also works for glutes, so it's plenty versatile if you need to switch up injection sites. When pinning your quads don't just go jabbing into the top of the quad (looking down from a seated position). You can pin there (and I have) but that's a more vascular area and you increase your chances of hitting a vein. From a seated position looking down at your legs go to the outter portion of the quad and pick a spot that is about half way between the knee and the ball socket of your hip. That entire area is pretty sweet for stabbing. Very few nerves or veins running through that region. You're going to be pinning perpendicular to your quad and parallel to the floor (if you're in a seated position).

1" is fine for small legs. I like 23gx1" myself for quads. The muscle is called the vastus lateralis for a reason-it is pretty large. You can inject completely into the side of the quad if you want as described above, or you can move inward an inch or so and inject at a slanted angle (needle still 90 degrees to the skin) and you will still hit the vastus lateralis. But the simplest way to start is to do the parallel to floor method noted above. Once you have a few marks, you can just work left right up down within an inch or two span vertical/horizontal from the center point between the knee and groin. I love quad shots-easy to do.

LOL. Good point, but I think that many people visually underestimate the size and depth of the vastus lateralis, even in 6 ft tall, 150lb males.

same here, i like it in the glutes, little trickier to aspirate n inject with one hand, but very doable, in front of a big bathroom mirror (or in my case gf's ridiculous makeup mirror) its really easy, and if you train enough to want to use gear, your ass should be 'thick' enough to get too
