i aspirated blood in the glute the other day
so i pulled out, pressed the plunger untill the blood drop left the syringe, changed needles and injected in another part
problem is i lost a bit of gear that way
but more importantly
IS THIS ACTUALLY STERILE?
Jesus christ. Are you serious? Just fucking pump all that shit, blood an all, back in. Its sterile. Stop being a pussy. I cant believe this is on getbig. What is this bodybuilding.com? You should be ashamed anabolichalo. I dont even aspirate. If you're injecting in the correct spots it's unnecessary and a bro myth that wont die. Medical professional rarely aspirate.
Look up the CDC's official IM injection guidelines. They don't bother with aspiration anymore.
They don't even teach RNs to aspirate any more. Don't agree? Just ask the CDC, ACIP, DHS, AAFP, DOH, or the WHO. Dont take my word for it.
According to the CDC:
"Aspiration - Aspiration is the process of pulling back on the plunger of the syringe prior to injection to ensure that the medication is not injected into a blood vessel. Although this practice is advocated by some experts, the procedure is not required because no large blood vessels exist at the recommended injection sites."
"Aspiration is not indicated for SC injections."
"Aspiration is not indicated for IM injections."

Just another example of Gym Lore and/or Broscience propagating itself.... you fucking meatheads. The more you are moving the pin around trying to aspirate doing your own glute shot the more scar tissue you're creating. I've aspirated, had no blood, and still got tren cough. Its just an unnecessary step giving you a false sense of security. Hope this helps.
