Conserving Gear/Small Air Bubble Technique??
Hey, I was talking about my first injections yesterday with a few of the brothas on here, and a good topic came up. I noticed after sticking the quad, that a small amount of gear is left in the syringe after pinning. I saw a video in which a woman - taking test to become a man- (irrelevant I know)lol - was pulling up a lil air in her syringe, after pulling up the gear, and then flicking it until it hit the top (by the plunger) - she said this was a conservation technique. Now, with that being said, and this being my first time pinning, I didn't dare try it.. When conversating I asked if anyone had ever heard of this, but got no response about it as the title had nothing to do with that aspect of injecting. Nitti said he would be interested to hear some senior gearheads chime in on this too. Anyone using this technique? If you're going to bash, then hold your tongue. I'm not a 17 year old dummy asking if I should inject in my right nut. I believe this to be a valid question, and deserving of an honest ANSWER. lol, not a bunch of jokes. If you have tried this I would like to hear about it, I would rather not waste GOOD GEAR if it is avoidable, and would like to be administering proper, and exact dosage - everytime. thanks bro's It's more than appreciated as always!

UFOBro I wouldnt worry about that little bit of gear. I was the same as you at first, couldnt stand the site of gear being in the pin when I was done, but its part of the game. I loose a little everytime I pin my delts lately with a 5/8" pin, some leaks out when I take the pin out..not much I can do. Always good to aspirate, althought I dont when I hit my delts. Watched a doctors video on delt injecting and he didnt and said you didnt need to in the delts? I do everytime in my glutes and it really has saved me two or 3 times...did the draw back an a solid stream of blood came back into the pin. Like everyone said why not, think I need to start doing it with my delts too.
I always leave a small bubble equal to the volume (Usually about .2cc) of the needle and needle hub (the area below the barrel). Contrary to what you might think NONE of that air is being injected, it's simply filling that space below the barrel; evacuating the liquid. If I over estimate the size of my bubble, rest assured .1cc of air is not going to do any harm.
Aspirating somehow got into the discussion of this thread. IMO, it is so easy to do; so why not. But the reality is; while you might pass through a vain on your way to the muscle, you're not apt to be injecting into a vain unless you missed the muscle.

Thank you Greg. I justhit my 3rd inj tonight. Test P in the delt. Still a little nervous aboutthe whole air bubble thing, so I just pushed down on the plunger reaaallly hard as to try and get everything in, still noticed a small amount of gear inside, but I'm just getting used to the whole idea of the inj's. I might try on monday my next (test e /deca) inj. Thanks for your advice, and your knowledge man. It's good to hear a few senior guys chime in - It REALLY eases my mind on this topic. Def. appreciated ! Thank you to ALL that responded, newb or vet! I <3 eroids!
roflrofl, i think i know the video you speak of, everyone thinks thats a women but if its the same one its not a chick its a 13 or 14yr old boy whos on trt. everybody assumes hes a girl lol, sucks to be him
I thought it was a chick tryna turn into a man. OOPS! ; P
See what happens when you don't have enough test in ya, people think your a girl! LOL ;-P
R O F L . That sucks for that kid. I would do more than 1cc a week tho. That's lame! If I were him, I'd be looking to do atleast 400-500, MINIMUM! I feel wierd calling him a HIM.. He's VERY feminine.
its those damn doctors,for some reason they only prescribe low doses. the crazy part is if it really were a woman trying to become a man they would give her more test than they would prescribe this young man. messed up system
Yeah, that is whack. You would figure that since he is a man or whatever, lol that they would atleast prescribe him OVER 100 mf'in ml!! What's that gonna do? IMO, that dosage is WAY too low. Why do they prescribe them such a low dose for trt? and are all (male) patients prescribed the same dosage? That sucks.
I think they go from the standard playbook? My urologist wrote a script for 2ml/month. When I went in for my first shot he looks at the bottle and says how much did I write this for? I told him once a month wasn't often enough. So he pulls out his phone does a search and says yea looks like we should start you at 1ml e2w. Get bloodwork friday and we'll adjust from there. Well needless to say I'm putting off the bloodwork til I'm done this cycle! LOL ;-P
I've been putting sure in the syringe since I started and I always feel better knowing that I'm using all my gear. I'm about 13% bf and I've never asperated before. I've pinned everywhere u can possibly pin.
never aspirated? WOW, that's a lil scary, but ok. Wish ya luck with all that! Idk, just makes me feel better to know that I'm NOT injecting hormones, and more importantly AIR into a vein. Just doesn't sound kosher !
Bro u would have to inject 10ccs of air into your veins to die. A little air bubble won't do shit.
I wouldn't go fucking around with 10ccs in a vein and definitely not even 1 cc in an artery. you only need less than .05cc to clear the pin. You'll here it.
you must have read my post wrong. It would take 10ccs of air to kill u a lil air bubble won't do anything. But teach your own I'm not a newb at this shit and I'm not claiming I know it all but I know exactly what I'm doing been lifting longer than most (the right way).
Head strong youngsters, gotta love it. Wasn't trying to teach YOU anything obviously you already know it all in your short existance. Good luck with (the right way). LOL ;-P
Wow another old fart trying to think he knows it all. If u read my post I said im not claiming I know it all. But hey teach your own lol.
Nah just a middle age fart who knows he doesn't know it all, disputing stupid comments that may lead a newb to think he can put 9cc of air in his veins and not worry about it. You can't teach people who already think they know exactly what their doing! But being part of this community I will help my own community members who are willing to look at things without an I know exactly what I'm doing attitude. Enjoy your knowledge! LOL ;-P
Damn guys - I can smell the test in the air!!LOL. To each his own, but I gotta side with ya pats. IDC if it takes 1,000cc of air to KILL you. We take enough risks, so why take another unneeded risk. Why NOT take 2 seconds, just to make SURE that you are NOT hitting a vein? IMHO that's just stupid. I appreciate your inputDulk , and I am glad to see that you haven't had problems doing it the way you do it. It helps ease my mind knowing that it takes much more air than I think to actually have a problem on my hands. So from your words, I take that information.
TxBigBoyI really can't understand why anyone wouldn't aspirate. It takes literally 2 seconds to do it and gives you the peace of mind. If you're not scared of injecting gear into your veins and the health risks then atleast see it as not wasting gear.
Me either. It's a simple thing to do, and only a precautionary measure to HELP keep you safe.
Living life on the edge! thats cool lol
I been doing it like that for a few weeks. Not as much for the conservation but to know its all in. When I'm pinning as soon as I here the air I know its all in instead of still pushing on the plunger. Near sighted! and looking back while pinning the Glutes ain't easy. LOL ;-P
Hey pats. That's my biggest concern, is getting everything out. I mean shit, I pay for 10ml. I don't want 8. y'nam sayin brah = ) So this method is ok then I take it?
yea, and you only need a lil bubble to get the whoosh and clear the pin. The lil bit in the pin ain't nothing though bro, if it makes you feel better in your mind thats more important than the ammount that came out. This whole thing is mental as a mofo!
Thank you for that Pats. I appreciate your advice. It is scary, especially for people like me that 1.) have never touched a syringe before, let alone injected gear into their muscle. 2.) Are only subject to the contradictory statements/advice/etc. found online regarding these type of issues. If I could thumbs up ya bro, I'd do it- But I need more karma.
I've always been scared to do leave any air at all in the syringe. hhhmm, interesting stuff. Thanks bro
ok - thanks guys! B-12 HUH? What is the benefit of injecting B-12? J/W - not trying to be a smart ass eq, I am just a little new to this - Thanks bro!
I use B12. Two birds, one stone.
I always do that! I even freak out if a lil oil comes back up after I inject. I use just enough air to make the oil clear the needle.
Nice! I noticed a little air come from the muscle - when I aspirated.. I figured it would be ok.. But this was my first time man I wasn't tryna pop an air bubble in a vein bro.. no bueno!
same bro works great
She said she heard a little "farting sound" LOL - when the air went in. I look @ it this way-if when you aspirate, a lil air comes out, then what's the harm putting a lil back in? I mean as long as you 100% sure you aren't in a vein. ; )
