I was just wondering what most prefer here when it comes to quad and glute injections.

5/8" ?
1" ?
1.5" ?

Did not seem worth making a poll. lol But your thought would be appreciated.
 
welcome to ology.

most use 1.5 inch in glutes/butt usually a 23 guage
most can use 1 inch in quads and delts usually 25 guage
 
DaDawg is of course correct, I just wanted to add that it will also depend on how large you are and how much fat you have on you. If you are a very low bf%, you have less to worry about in terms of penetrating deep enough into the tissue. The more fat you need to cut through, the longer a needle you will need. I use 1" all over, but I also only weigh 185 and have very little BF.
 
I used to use 23 x 1", but I have just started using 25 x 1" & have fallen in love!!! Just like a knife through warm butter! Quads & deltas is all I do. (just don't push it in all the way with delts!!)
 
pain wise for quad injects, i dont notice a difference between 23 and 25g. and there is some weird phenomena where 25g needles take longer to inject than even slin pins.

so i just use 23's or slins depending on if im doing delts or quads. have really tried anywhere else yet
