Switching over to ED injections and the volume is small enough to do with a half inch insulin syringe, been doing ventro glute, delt, and hip so far, any other sites I could hit with a 1/2 inch insulin syringe. Also is that too small for ventro IM injections don’t wanna be pinning sub q. I’m 10-11% bf for reference to how much fat I have before hitting IM.

Out of curiosity, why not sub Q?

I'm fatter than that and have been IM ventroglute for a hundred years with no issue, most of us don't have a lot of fat there just push in a little until you dimple the skin a bit and "z-track" (google if unaware) Side delt, tri, VG and calf, down one side and then the other every day.
I understand the potential risks but have never had an issue, never personally known anyone to other than possibly a bit of irritation in sensitive guys and one girl.
Worth a shot IMO

We’re talking about using a half inch slin pin here yeah? Also where would I hit calves

Ok perfect thanks bro

neither one of us said it but I'm assuming 1cc? I'm sure there is an increased potential for some leakage into the SQ layer if you push the volume too much.
Prob a bunch of other areas where skin is nice and thin too, bis which I personally don't dig, outer quad etc

just saw the edit, outside head of calf about an inch and a half from the bottom, @Rhyno has a good point I also should have mentioned, calves don't bug me at all now but it's bad for some guys for sure, there are stories lol, only mild discomfort ever for me luckily, just happy to have another site. Done about 4 quad injects ever, no fucking way I'll ever dare to do another, some love em, we're all different once again

Even less really, more like .6-.8
 
I do all my shots with 8mm slin pins these days. Glutes too with no issues. Anywhere i can pin with a 1 inch, i can pin with a 8mm

Oh wow that’s gotta be shallow IM for sure though no? Does it not spill out to subq even a lil bit at that shallow of a depth?

it is shallow im and its never been an issue. Next day it feels like a normal IM shot.
Ive tried full sub q a few times and its always shitty for me.

Mine are as well but the horror stories were enough to set a fear in me that has not allowed me to attempt them. It's too bad too because they would be so convenient to pin. Sitting down leg crossed and away you go 😊

I heard pecs are dangerous cause of the proximity to lungs and heart if there’s ever an infection or something , any merit to that?

I had never heard of that. I did some research and found a couple recommended locations but I still have to brace myself more than other spots. Something about holding the pin over your chest feels different, I swear the pin grows the longer you look at it 😄
