I use 23 for injection, 25 for pulling.

23 it small enough for delts, takes a little more pressure to push through however, especially the HG Watson test, which seem like a much thicker oil than the UG shit I've used.

depth depends on how much muscle is there. 25g 1.5" works for me. I can push 3ml each side. Do not do that though if you never done this, push 1/2 a cc, otherwise u will be in pain. Eventually your muscles will get used to it, especially as they grow you can push more in

Why do you draw with a thinner pin than the injection?

In my opinion, anything between 1-2 CCs you can use 25G, anything more than that you can use a 23G.

Its all a matter of personal preference. Sure you can inject 5CCs with 25G, but i personally dont want the needle to be in me for too long.

Biggest I've ever used on delts was 25g 1", now I'm using either slin pins (29g 1/3" or something) or 27g 3/4". There are just muscle groups I can't see myself going bigger than 25g. Delts is one of them.

Yup there's not really much difference in how the different needles feel.  I like the larger gauges just because they're faster

delts take huge amounts of oil very well if you ask me... 2,5mls in delt is no big deal at all as long as you dont inject there more than once a week.
i find delts work best for high amounts next to quads...

I never liked putting more than 2ccs in my delts but that's just me..you can put a decent amount of oil in there

I use 1 inch for everything, have no idea why one would need 2 inches jesus christ... 1.5 i could see and have used but have never had an issue with a 1 incher.  i also only use 25 gauges to inject.  rather spend more time pushing the plunger and save the scar tissue buildup

I put 3 in my delts once. It was horrible, my delt swelled up like baseball and it was sore as fuck.

I understood why all the some BBs come into contests with weird synthol-ish delts when they clearly werent using synthil.

Agreed, also you can use 25gauge 5/8 as long as you aren't a fat fuck...
