[Question] Why do you need a larger needle

[cheungwh88]

Why do people need to use 1.5 gauge needle on glutes if you have a higher body fat percentage?

 

[Elemenohpee]

Well you need to get into muscle.. 1.5 ain't even that bad. Hell most doc office burry a one inch in toddlers. I know.. Got a few. Don't want that pocketing.

Think about it. If you have more fat it's going to take a longer needle to penetrate deep enough to get into the muscle

Pinning the glutes freaks me out, I just can't get myself to do it.

I use 1.5 on glutes to get deep in the muscle and 1" everywhere else. Rotate between glutes, delts and quads. I liked quads till I hit a nerve last time and not done since. I think Ill go back to them this week. They were by far the easiest for me to do.

 

[hellzone]

So do you do glutes standing or sitting? I've see both done on you tube, I don't know which would be easier for a first time butt pin lol

Pinning the glutes is the least painful but the hardest to reach. I rarely do them just because I have a hard time holding steady

Lol. When you hit that nerve it puts a jolt though your whole leg.

I do it standing with weight off of the side im doing. Its a little hard for me to reach but no pain at all with the 25g I use. Never tried it standing but it just sounds like it would be harder to do. Maybe im a little sick in the head but I actually enjoy pinning. Its a rush!

Maybe a little... I'm definitely not a fan of pinning. But I'm also a giant pussy when it comes to needles or anything medical related.

I still remember my first one. It took a few min. to build up the nerve but I spent a lot of my younger years with doctors and in hospitals. Felt like a damn pin cushion i got stuck so much. Maybe thats where the sickness started! lol Dont really bother me now.

1.5 is the length not the gauge bro
