I've been doing subq with 29g insulin pins for a while now and honestly i'm never going back to big harpoons. It takes a bit longer to push the oil through but the lack of scar tissue is a huge win. plus you can't even feel it.

The main point for most people switching to subq is more stable blood levels. Since it absorbs slower you don't get those crazy peaks and troughs. If you're doing glutes though a 29g might be a bit short depending on how much "cushion" you got back there lol - you might end up shallow IM instead of subq.

Delts are definitely the classic spot but pinning the same muscle over and over gets old fast. rotating to glutes or ventroglutes just gives your shoulders a break. i use a 27g for glutes just to speed things up because 29g takes forever to draw and pin with thicker oils.

honestly man just try it and see. subq is way less intimidating if you're a bit needle shy. i use 29g 1/2 inch needles and just go in the glute or even the stomach fat. way less PIP than hitting the muscle sometimes but keep the volume low or you might get a little lump for a few days.

i stick to IM just because im impatient and hate how long it takes to push oil through a 29g lol. but plenty of guys love it. just a heads up if you go subq by the hip/glute area- it can be a bit tender if your waistband rubs against the injection site right after.

honestly subq is a total lifesaver for trt or smaller blasts. i use a 29g slin pin for my glutes all the time and it works perfect- you just have to be patient because the oil takes a second to push through that tiny needle. no scar tissue buildup is the biggest win for me

i switched to subq in the glutes/hips about a year ago and my bloodwork has actually been more stable. 29g is totally fine but if you have a lot of "padding" back there you might not be getting deep enough for true IM. it still absorbs great though so i wouldn't sweat it too much

delts are okay but glutes can take way more volume without feeling like you got kicked by a horse lol. 29g is a bit small if you're in a rush but if you warm the vial up first it flows way smoother. just be ready for a slow "push" and you'll be golden

wait till you try it man you'll probably never go back to those harpoons lol. subq in the ventroglute is the goat spot. 29g is basically painless but i've found 27g is the sweet spot for speed vs comfort. definitely give it a shot on your next pin

i’ve done both and honestly i don't notice a huge difference in gains but my skin stays way clearer on subq. it slows down the absorption just enough to keep the e2 spikes away. 29g for glutes is fine as long as you aren't trying to pin like 2ml at once- keep it under 0.5ml per spot

honestly once you try the 29g slin pins you'll realize those big 23g harpoons are totally unnecessary lol. i do subq in the ventroglute/hip area and it's basically painless. just warm the vial in your pocket for 5 mins first so the oil actually flows through that tiny needle or you'll be sitting there for ten minutes trying to push it in
