Dump your gear in the sink...

Kidding. Try to flick it up to the top then give it a little push till it comes out and a drop comes out. Otherwise, don't worry about it - you are shooting deep into muscle and not into a vein; besides it takes a lot more air than most think to harm you - Mike1991 should have some insight into this.

Alphamale is right just tap on it until you get it to the top and push it out. Plus alpha is right you are injecting it into your muscle and not your vein. It takes about 3 cc of air injected directly into your vein to cause an embolism. This misconception comes from Hollywood where someone injects one air bubble into someone and they die is just bullshit

Yes, all of the above. In addition, don't shake the vial like it's a can of spray paint. lol! If you have that habit, and can't break it, let it settle before drawing up the oil.

You can take the vial and swirl the oil around, and that should prevent the air bubbles.

I untwist the pin I used to draw the oil, and put on a new sharp pin for the injection. While the pin is off the syringe, you can push the plunger up, watch the oil go to the top, and that will help rid the larger bubbles. (do not break sterile technique by touching the top of the syringe, or new pin with bare hands though!)

Screw the new pin on, and push the oil to the top, letting some oil run down the pin for a lubricant for the injection. If there are any small bubbles left (there probably won't be), just ignore them as they're insignificant for an I.M injection. You'll see in time that this will become an "artform" for you. Good luck building mass or cutting!

That's exactly the way. Any doubts go to http://www.howtodoinjections.com/

ALSO: you should always aspirate the needle to make sure you are not in a vein. Once the needle is in, pull back on the plunger a little. If blood enters the syringe, you are in a vein, pull out and start over, if not you are good to go.
