    What do you guys spend per Cycle

    Just looking for averages here. For a beginner cycle. 12-16 weeks. What would you spend from a high to low.

    its really a broad question you know. depending on the type of gear, the source, anti e's etc. I spent more on food during my cycle than i did on actual steroids, and anti e's. I think that is one of the most underestimated factors. From now on I will never start a cycle without at least a few weeks of food on hand and a 1000$ or more for food. if your going to do it do it right.

    several variables involved
    and symatech is 100% correct the food required for the duration of your
    cycle will be the biggest cost
    other variable include what you decide to take
    whether you buy from a guy at the gym , an internet source ect
    the same bottle of lets say test. can run from $45 to $200

    but to answer your question a good beginer cycle could be done
    for 250 -$500

    i usually will spend anywhere from 500 to 1000 depending on what i'm doing

    What I don't understand is this....why do your eating needs change while on cycle?? You should eat the same way....6 times a day, whether you are on a cycle or not. Probably the reason so many people complain about not keeping gains....just my .02

    i think it's cause you can metabolize more protein into muscle while on cycle so you can bump up protein intake and not worry about excess calories being turned into fat

    This was my first cycle, and I spent $535 with a gym guy. I just ordered another 325 from overseas...I only needed $120 of it for this cycle. Then you add in the ancillaries...three bottles of Nolva, one bottle of L-dex, one bottle of Exemestane, two bottles of liquid clen .
    Also figure the protein powder...five big jugs and two bags.
    Wait a minute...add in the IGF I ordered ($200), and this is getting expensive.

    It varys... but to do a good first cycle I'd say expect to pay somewhere between $300-$600, depending on your source... and that's JUST for the gear.

    I just started a cycle two weeks ago (6th cycle) and I will probably spend in the neighborhood of $1500 for gear by the time it's done.

    I up my proteins and carbs with 10% while on a cycle. Nothing fancy though...

    I can run ten weeks of test enanthate (500 week), eq(400 week), and jump start first with 75mg tren and 100mg prop every other day for 250 dollars.

    But the expensive part for me is food, I do not even want to right that or i may get depressed thinking about it.

    I usualyy spend around $1000 on gear for a cycle. (my source is a little expensive) another $100 or so a week in food, and around $100 or so more a month for supps and vitamins. then there is the cost of tanning to rid my back of zits. and of course by the time the cycle is over I have to buy a new wardrobe 'cause nothin fits! I am sure there are other expenses I forgot about, but cycling is very costly if done right.

    I just started my first cycle... About $430 my sust and d-bol came really cheap, got nailed on the anti-e''s and clomid tho. I agree with majorpecs tho (avout the food and supplementation all the time) spend about $55 a month on supps (www.supplementauthority.com very cheap) and i'm at school, so food is always avalible

    i literally could not eat as much as I did on cycle. Off cycle I try and eat about 5 times a day. ON cycle, I was ALWAYS hungry. I ate 6-7 full meals a day. My body just cant process the protein etc, that fast when Im off. if it could, i wouldnt use juice, not to mention i'd be a baaad mother ****er

    peace

    Was gonna end up spending $700-$800 for Mexican stuff that was probably underdosed. Plus an extra $1000 or so reserved for food and supplements.

    Well i haven;t actually started yet but i plan on spending about 275 for a 12 weeker: 12 vials test 250, 3 boxes clo, 3 nolva, and 4 clen . seeing as it's my first cycle i think i have estimated everything out pretty good and i figure anything left over will be put toward the next cycle

    I tend to shop for stuff I don't plan on using. I end up fingering down the list and thinking, hey, why not for a rainy day?

    But for the most part, my cycles are cheap. Test and tren is really all I do. Some EQ thrown in here and there

    i spent around $1200 on my second cycle. But for a beginner cycle, you should get away with spending under $500, depending on your source.

    The money thing should not be an issue. Some people pay less for gear because they have great sources, others pay a little more for their gear. All that really matters is the legit-ness of your gear. Me, i pay a little higher price, but i know that all my gear is legit, and i deal with my source face-to-face.

    You may get away paying $200 for your first cycle, thinking you got the deal of your life, but if your gear is fake. Your no better off than tits on a bull.

    I definatel up my protein to about 1.5gs per pound on the gear and then go back down to 1g per lb when i'm off.

    Oh btw...I usually spend anywhere from $1500.00-$2500.00 on average. But now that I've been doing GH it's up around $2000.00 a month for my gear and GH. so lets say $4000.00-$5000.00 per cycle.

    that's canadian $$ ...so like $100.00 US that's cheap isn't it

    people who are spending under 500 are either brewing their own or are doing very short cycles

    Wow, some of the prices you guys pay are unbelievable!!! I could put together cycles that would make most people on here drool for less than $500.

    What is the average price of Var?? I've noticed that most other AAS I can purchase are considerably cheaper than what you guys have listed. I just bought 2 bottles of 100 10mg anavar and paid $130 a piece....is this good as well?? I wasn't sure if $1.30 a 10mg pill is good considering I'm popping 4 a day!
