My friend accidentally injected 1 cc of air into his glute and was totally fine. A little bit of air will not hurt you- i don't even bother tapping the bubbles out of the syringe.

Basically it was his first injection ever and he didnt want people to find out what he was doing so for some reason he left the light off and went into the broom. So he drew up what he though was oil- but was actually just air and then injected that.
The next day he was like- man, this is awesome it was so easy to draw and i felt no pain at all from it!
He didn't realize until almost a week later when he did the injection in the light that he had fucked up.

The z-track method is a technique to injecting that displaces the tissue and keeps the liquid contained in the tissue layers below the subcutaneous skin layers.
The "Z" denotes pulling the tissue to one side.
The air lock injection technique involves injecting a small amount of air with the liquid (IM ONLY!) to keep the fluid rejection to a minimum.

Either way, I really don't care, don't think I'll be doing it. Never had a leak, but I use 25g and inject slowly. I may put a tiny (.05CC) bubble in there to almost clear the needle, but don't think I'll be injecting any air...

You can do a air lock shot without using the z-track technique.
Z-track's are good for glutes (IMO) and that's about it.
