It is necessary to pull the syringe plunger with each application to make sure that it has not reached a blood vessel?

I have never aspirated. I'm not talented enough to do that when I'm self-pinning my glutes. Course I've never pinned anywhere that generally has alot of veins.
Not strictly necessary
But.... I’ve caught a vessel on one or two occasions so it’s something that I do every time I inject
I never aspirate. I've had a little tickle in my lungs and coughed a couple of times before injecting some stuff with gnarly solvents, but never with anything regular.
I don't aspirate and was told it isn't necessary by a nurse
When you get a shot at the dr they don't. When you cough your ass off you'll know lol

I do it every time out of habit.
I will tell you though, I used to inject in my quads a lot, and no matter if I aspirated or not, there'd be about a 25% chance that I'd get some in a vein and I'd be on the floor coughing my lungs up.
Non AAS related: I threw out my back some time back and at the ER, they gave me this shot of this anti-inflammatory called Toradol. The nurse injected it in my glute, she didn't aspirate. And she does this sort of stuff all day everyday.
