************“Standard Needle Lengths for Injection” **************
Glutes: 1-1.5 inch.
Delts: 1 inch.
Quads: 1 inch (some individuals can use as small as a ½ inch needle when injecting into the quads, depending on how lean they are).
Biceps: ½-1 inch.
Triceps: ½-1 inch.
Calves: ½ inch.
Traps: ½- 1 inch
Lats: 1 inch.
The above recommendations are the “average” needle lengths used for each bodypart listed. 23-25 g. syringes can be purchased with needle lengths between ½ to 1.5 inches in length. Simply choose whatever needle length you will need based on the bodypart(s) you will be injecting into.
********** How many cc’s can I inject into each muscle at one time?************
Primary injection sites
Glutes: 3 cc limit
Delts: 2 cc limit (3 cc’s is doable in the delts if using a 1 inch needle, but it’s preferable to use the quads or glutes for injection volumes above 2 cc’s).
Quads: 3 cc limit (when injecting more than 2 cc’s into the quads, you should use a 1 inch needle. With injection volumes under 2 cc’s, a ½ inch needle is fine, assuming you are lean).
Secondary injection sites
Biceps: 1.5 cc limit.
Triceps: 1.5 cc limit.
Calves: 1.5 cc limit.
Traps: 2 cc limit.
Lats: 2 cc’s.
It is recommended that beginner’s stick with the primary injection sites until technique is developed and the user becomes proficient at the injection process. Secondary injection sites have a higher margin of error (more nerves, more blood vessels, and sometimes smaller muscle bellies) and can be more painful, as well.
Often times, advanced users will begin utilizing these secondary injection sites due to a frequent
Injection schedule and/or because they have previously administered a large amount of injections
into the primary injection sites. Frequently injecting into the same area(s) and/or having administered
a large total number of injections into the same area(s) can cause excess scar tissue build-up.
