Shallow IM with 1/2 insulin syringe. Is it sufficient for the glutes?

[Arcane]

Im switching over to an EOD protocol. Typically I do delta, with 5/8" 25 gauge.
Ive read a few testimonies that claim insulin syringes are best for more frequent injection regimens, mainly to prevent needle fatigue and longevity.

So Ive decided to rotate, Monday: Left Delt, Wednesday: right Delt, Friday: undecided injection site, Sunday: undecided injection site.

I was contemplating doing my glutes for the Friday and Sunday injection sites, but I'm unsure if 1/2 inch insulin syringe will be sufficient for even a shallow IM injection.

Any suggestions on where I should pin for my Friday and Sunday administrations, so I achieve a successful shallow IM and not an accidental Sub Q?

If it would end up being a sub q, I wouldn’t be concerned. Shouldn’t affect your testosterone levels. Many members do sub q, and have good results

I use the insulin syringe for all my pins. No specific order, Ventroglutal, shoulders, butt cheeks, stomach fat roll. I've noticed no difference in how I feel from testosterone absorption.

To answer your question, very very difficult to achive IM glutes. I am extemely lean and fail to achieve IM in the glutes, even when clenching to find the part with thinnest fat.

How did I know I failed to achieve IM? With certain brands of cypionate, I achieve painfull lumps when doing intentional subq. These lumps are not present when doing IM with the same brands. Im sure its to do with the oil, and there are a few other such reports online. I always get these lumps when trying to do shallow IM glutes, and yet delts/quads are painless. Therefore I come to my conclusion.
