Needle length for Delts

[capospo]

As a rule of thumb, what length needle do you guys use for Delt injections? 1" 1/4 or 1", or is either fine? I'm using 1" 1/2 for glutes but I'm sure that's way too long for Delt area. Thanks.

I go 1 inch

Usually 1", doesn't really matter though...I inject with anything between a 5/8" and 1.5" all over.

Thanks guys. I just wasn't sure if there was such a thing as going too deep with a needle. I know when I inject my glutes, I don't usually plan on pushing the needle all the way but it just kind of slides all the way in. I'm not really worried about pushing the needle all the way into my glutes since there is plenty of meat back there but wasn't sure in the deltoid region how far in you can go. Based on what you guys are saying, 1" seems the way to go for delts so appreciate it.

For delts use 1".

I bury a one and hlf inch needle in my delt no problem. One inch works best for tris, bis, and calves. Also depends on the size of your shoulders. Jay cutler could inject with three inch ndle in his delt.

Yeah, good point I guess. I'm sure 1" will suffice.

1 inch is MORE than enough!

Is it ok to inject 2 cc's into your delts. I have been doing it no problem but I just read that you should do no more then 1 cc in the delt per week. What advice can you give on that. thanks.

2 ccs should be fine. I've done more but prefer 2 ccs or less. Next time please start a new thread for a new question.
