Thread: just a few quick things

Hey guys. Did my first ever injection before and was just curious of a few things...
Firstly, i had trouble drawing it in to the syringe, was using a 23 needle so that might be my first downfall. I was trying to draw 1ml and the little target thing was placed on 1ml yet there was only about half a ml of gear in there so i assume the rest was air? Anyone know what the deal with that is?

Secondly, there was no blood when i aspirated however the plunger pretty much went back on its own without me having to pull back so a bit confused there as well. There was a little blood when i had finished it all.
I'm wondering if i did all of it right coz i dont mean to sound like a big shot but i did not feel any pain whatsoever (then again i've had 8 muscle biopsies so maybe just used to it)
Can anyone help me as to what i may have done wrong?
Cheers guys

Oh boy, good thing you weren't in a vein as I'm sure the syringe was filled with air.

I really feel sorry for some of these guys who do no research and just shove a pin in with little or no knowledge on what the fuck they are doing.
