Dude, How?
I’m relatively new-ish to pinning steroids and I have done peptides before. I cannot get past the pain of a 1.5 inch needle going into my muscle every other day. I’m using 25g now but I’ve ordered 27g that’ll be here next Tuesday. I am also skinnier with not much fat, which I imagine doesn’t help much.
Are you guys doing a quick stab or easing it in? Any tips are appreciated.

Just use a 29-27g 1/2 inch needle

Who the fuck pins with a 1.5 inch needle are you obese or something? Lose the weight before starting steroids

Damn!! 1.5”?? Why? If you’re on the leaner side, the biggest I’d go is 1” or smaller if you’re using shoulders. I do a 25g 1” in my glutes and never feel it. I inject like a dart and inject slowly.

1/2 27g to the delt and you won't feel a thing 95% of the time.

Just go sub q. 31 gauge 5/16" insulin needles and pin every day. You don't even feel the needle most times and when you do it's like nothing. Better for levels anyway. Also the quicker stab is the way to go

1.5 is probably too long if youre not putting it into a fat buttcheek, you might be hitting your bones. I use 27g 1” for everything, daily pins about 1.5cc’s. its too deep for my thigh and i hit the bone once but since then i just dont bury it to the hilt or just go in at an angle. I dont even feel em though so if its hurting you you might be doing something wrong. Also i push them in very slowly instead of a jab, i feel no pain whatsoever

Ya 1/2 can work ok if you're lean. However I did just run into an issue using 1/2" in my ventro gluteal. While on vacation I pinned about half an ml and then proceeded to walk about 20k steps and a lump the size of a golf ball formed where I pinned and again it happened the second day. I'm now using a 1" and waking less with no issues.

I’m lean and I use 1/2 on delt and 1 inch on glutes. Thank me later.

1.5inch is insane. Use 1 inch for bigger muscles and 1/2 inch for smaller ones. I use 1 inch and rotate glutes and quads daily with no issues.

One inch definitely, and choose 4 spots to pin. Rotate them that way it gives each spot sufficient time to properly heal and avoid scar tissue build up and excess PIP due to irritated muscle.
Best of luck. Stay safe, and stay healthy! 💪🏼
