Please explain aspirating and pulling back

**SomeLiveForTheBill** · 09-23-2010, 11:00 AM

When self-injecting test in the glutes, please quickly break down these procedures once you've injected the needle.

What does it mean to aspirate and what does it mean to "pull back" to check for blood?

Thanks.

In order to get the oil IM or Sub-Q, you''ll need to aspirate (which means pulling the needle back once injected) to check for blood. If blood seeps in the syringe, you are in a vein. Take the needle out, swap if you wish, and try another spot, rinse and repeat until you find an area with no blood.

Ok, so I'm using a 1.5" needle. I inject fully, and now i am ready to aspirate . How far am I pulling the needle out to do so? Or are you talking about pulling with the syringe from the muscle? (ie the needle never moves once you've pinned)

asirating is pulling back on the plunger and drawing air.tiny air bubble, no blood , it's all good. i've also heard that with intramuscular injection it is not neccecery to aspirate as muscle contains no air, so if you cant pull back on the plunger it safe to say your in the muscle and all is good.

Yes inject the entire needle in the muscle. The needles stays in the entire time. Pull back the plunger roughly 5mm. No blood = your g2g.

Pull back slightly. If you did hit a vein the blood will rush into the syringe.

**Chenko** · 10-05-2010, 09:48 PM

Lets make this a bit more clear. Before you actually push your gear into the muscle you want to pull back the plunger and make sure you are not into a vein. Then you can inject the test into the muscle. If there is blood do not inject and re-pin and clean again and pick a new spot. Repeat and you should be good. Always re-pin do not use the same pin to inject.

**Bonaparte** · 10-06-2010, 08:21 AM

Look up "inject" in the dictionary, because you're using it to describe inserting the needle into the muscle.
1) Insert needle
2) aspirate (pull back a bit on plunger to check that you aren't in a vein)
3) inject oil

**scotty51312** · 10-06-2010, 11:01 AM

also when you aspirate you may see a small bubble form in the top of the barrel next to the plunger, its caused by the vacuum that the oil is under its nothing to worry about

Yes, this seems to be particularly true if you have heated your AAS as you should, when I first started pinning I never had a bubble form on the plunger end, since heating the substance to be injected it happens quite frequently. My assumption is that with the shot warm it is easier for it to reach the vaporization point of one of the ingredients when under vacuum.

As far as anyone having any questions about intramuscular injection, I would suggest doing a google search for videos (there a quite a few put on by nursing clinics) on how to perform the procedure, like they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

ASPIRATING DEFINED:
YOU NEED TO ASPIRATE PRIOR TO INJECTING BUT AFTER THE NEEDLE IS ALL THE WAY IN.

You need to pull back on the PLUNGER when needle is all the way in. tiny little bubbles should apear in the oil and it should be difficult to pull back.. this means you are in the muscle and it is safe to inject... if you pull back and you pull blood into the needle then that means you are either in a vein or too close to one, pull out the needle and inject somewhere else in the same body part.

thats what happens when you don't aspirate and you inject in a vein by accident

**clipper252** · 10-06-2010, 06:39 PM

What are the consequences for that? If I stop now do I need to take any of my pct stuff?

**clipper252** · 10-06-2010, 07:00 PM

any one with some advice?

**MACHINE5150** · 10-06-2010, 07:13 PM

if you only took one shpot then no PCT is needed.. i recomend trying it again..

there are no serious consequences to injecting in veins.. just realy unhealthy and unplesant.. but nothing fatal or long lasting

**Far from massive** · 10-06-2010, 07:49 PM

Cipper252,

You probably got very lucky in botching your first shot, since you are 20 years old completing the cycle would have been a very unwise move as you system is still developing. Read Read Read start with the 4th sticky thread in this forum.

**MACHINE5150** · 10-06-2010, 08:01 PM

Didn't pick up that you were only 20.. consider yourself lucky.. you got an angel looking over your shoulder.. You need to wait 5 years before you cycle

**clipper252** · 10-07-2010, 02:45 PM

why you say that just due to age?

**Milfeater** · 10-07-2010, 07:16 PM

I know about the sweating part. Did an injection tonight and hit bone..... Almost threw up. Lol

**powerws** · 10-07-2010, 07:57 PM

Because of growth plates not being fully developed and most importantly, test or any aas shutting down your system, where it would mess you up for the rest of your life.

WHERE???? And are you really scrawny or something?

**Milfeater** · 10-08-2010, 07:03 AM

Not scrawny. I grabbed the wrong pin and went to low in my delt. That's what happens when you rush it. Lol

**Bonaparte** · 10-08-2010, 07:46 AM

ohhhhhh...so you stuck the pin where the delt connects to your upper arm? lol
What length pin and what gauge?

I'm curious too!

Damn.

There is never a reason to rush an injection. If you don't have time at that moment, wait.

Besides, even when I go really slow it takes me all of 5 min to draw, clean and inject.

**Milfeater** · 10-08-2010, 07:59 AM

23 g. 1.5. Went low in the delt. I felt it bottom out, so slowly pulled up a bit and finished the job. It sucked. Lol.

Just reading this makes me want to throw up, lol, the thought of needle scraping against bone...AHHH!!!!

**laveycraft** · 10-08-2010, 05:03 PM

so maybe dumb question but say u pull some blood in the gear, do u just find new spot and inject the blood and gear. im guessing that would be ok, but thought i would ask..
ps. i dont pin yet still reading and learning more and more everyday.

first off, you are too young for aas, secondly you may not have hit a vein, i recently started my first cycle, ive always not been a big fan of needles, before my first shot i got myself soooooo worked up about that afterwards i got sweaty for a few minutes too, was just nerves as i did aspirate and all that, im glad i do, tuesday morning I hit a vein.
