when doing an intramuscular injection with insulin is it okay to aspirate, I mean I'd think you must have to just in case you were to accidently inject into a vein. but I'm very new to the concept of using slin as an aid in bodybuilding so please if you find this question to be foolish or stupid just don't reply.

also is it absolutely crucial to do an insulin injection intramuscularly when being used for bodybuilding purposes?

Generally what I (and most people I assume) tend to is, say you are injecting in your bicep. Just flex your bicep, see where the veins run along, and void hitting one of the veins.

All the best.

No it's not. You can certinly inject Sub-Q. The reason why most do IM is because the absorbency rate is higher, the on-set time is faster and insulin stays in your body for less amount of time when doing IM.

Trust me you don't want to do that. Depending how much you inject, the side effects would come much faster than usual, and they would be a lot stronger than usual. You could very easyily fall into hypoglycemia (diabetic coma) in no time. Just stick to IM and Sub-Q for your own sake.

Let me know if you need a hand.

All the best bro.
