When I inject into my quads I always do. But when I inject into my ass, sometimes I don't. ------------------ | ||

I swear that every cycle I pull *a lot* of blood into the syringe at least 5-8 times over the course of a 10-12 week cycle. That's usually about 45-55 injections so you can calculate the odds here. My freinds almost never hit vains so obviousely not everyone has as many problems as I do. I hope that means I get more vascular than they do!! hehee Anyways be careful if your like me but to each his own....... | ||

I really don't think it's necessary. But, when I go into my glutes I do because it's so easy, but if it's in the delts I don't because it's too hard to reach. ------------------ Visit my website (free of all Musclehedz pictures) at http://profiles.elitefitness.com | ||

Over the years, even the doctors and nurses that have injected me with antibiotics or flu shots NEVER pull back on the plunger. They just ram it in there and squirt. No wonder thos damn shots hurt so much. Next time, I'll ask the nurse if I can inject myself...that would probably freak her out! LOL | ||

Juice in the vein is wated juice, it won't mess you up and it won't get you big. I never pull back and I inject both quads and glutes eod. | ||

Not only do I always aspirate. I also preload an air pocket into the syringe!!! After shooting shitload of times I came to realize the end of the barrel and the cone are always left with the good stuff. It is always in there. I just preload a little air bubble and shoot away. All the juice comes out. You know you have totally bottomed out when you hear the little hiss. I have done this about 5 times now and no problems. They are all intermuscular, it doesn't cause any damage to anything. | ||

Dying from injecting into a vein has got to be the biggest myth. Besides Milos's Synthol accident, I have not heard of anyone dying this way in the entire 7 years I've been lifting. don't you think the press would have a field day of "Deadly Steroids" in every newspaper if this happened more than once? | ||

OK its easy enough to do if you are injecting in the leg or ass, but I am doing site injections in my bis and tris and I can't figure out how the hell to pull back with out pulling the needle out. Somebody e-mail me if you know a way. I can't get anyone to help me, because even though my family knows I am juicing, it would freak them out to see me with a needle in my arm. | ||

I didn't pull back on my first cycle, but that was only because I had never heard of pulling back before injecting. However, I have consistently done it in all of my other cycles. I think it's a good safety precaution, and it doesn't hurt you or anything.....so why wouldn't you pull back? I guess some people just don't care, but thats their business. This is just how I do things. ------------------ | ||

I always aspirate when injecting. You are supposed to. I remember like my 4th injection ever I hit a vein. I pulled back and there was blood. I just pulled out and moved it. I have heard if you shoot it in the vein you will often times gag and cough like you are going to pass out, no thanks. ------------------ | ||

I am not suprised by the responses by both those who do and those who don't. For those who do, you have done your research. For those who don't, think of it this way: You have infected gear and you inject into a vein, you could die....instantly, if you have a certain medical condition that may not be known to you. This was told to me by a dentist who was describing oral surgery and the precautions. He said it translated into injections involving intraveous, i.e. into a vein usage. Use your heads. | ||

Always. While the risks are very small when injecting into the glutes -- even if you do hit a capillary or vessel, it is simply a good habit. There is not one good reason not to. You needn't aspirate the syringe much; if you pull back even the slightest, you will see blood if you hit anything. | ||

I only shoot glutes, and I draw back every time. Like my guru from Chicago says, "The first rule of shooting gear is: ASPIRATE!" Why are some of you against this safe and necessary practice? Too macho? Too busy? I'll bet you any amount of money that there's a strong correlation between the practice of aspirating and use of good sterile technique, knowledge of gear, probably even knowledge of lifting and overall respect for iron. There'll be some exceptions, but I'll bet that's true. If you don't aspirate, you should start. If you won't start, at least don't be proud that you don't aspirate. There's nothing worse than the combination of ignorance and pride, though they often go together. My $.02. Bjaarki ------------------ BECOME SOMEONE'S HERO!

Pull back everytime, why waste your expensive ass gear by injection into a vein, it's worth the two seconds it takes to aspirate. ------------------ | ||

I don't understand why someone wouldn't pull back the plunger. It doesn't cause any pain, it takes about 2 seconds and it can save you from injecting directly into the bloodstream. Why would anyone risk not pulling back? ------------------ | ||

After just doing my first cycle, I pulled back everytime. I also plan on doing it everytime in the future, its quick to do and only takes like 1 or 2 seconds. Like mentioned earlier, better safe than sorry. | ||

When its going into the Glutes I never draw back. Hell I'm not that flexible and can only get one hand on the dart. Whenever using one hand I never draw back. ------------------ If you enjoy it today you can always do it again tomorrow. |
