    When you guys order your gear, how much do you buy? I mean do you buy a whole cycle worth or by the month?

    *Fixed* damn auto correct

    That last sentence is making my head hurt.

    I just buy whenever I plan a cycle, I purchase enough and little more just in case.

    ^^^This x2.

    Plan your cycle(s) and purchase all you need to complete cycle including PCT.

    The amount of test you need to buy is enough for a cycle. On a 500mg/week cycle, a vial can last for 5 weeks. Buy however many vials it will take to fulfill the length of the cycle you want to run. Keep in mind, 1 vial may not quite last 5 weeks due to certain reasons (residual oil in needle after drawing causing you to draw more than expected, broken vial, etc). For this reason I usually buy slightly more than needed to be safe

    Personally I buy my test in bulk. But when running a cycle GET EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU START! Ai, PCT, compounds, pins, everything. You never know if something beyond your control will mess up your cycle.

    I buy EVERYTHING plus extra before starting a cycle. This includes the cycle plus, cycle support, PCT, and gear. You don't have an inventory check on your sources, who's to say they don't run out right before you need something and it wrecks your entire cycle?? Even ARR has moments over restocking. It's better to be prepared than gamble. Plus, you might as well get everything at once and save yourself the shipping fees.

    We're discussing AAS cycling, not Bicycle gear!

    On a serious note, I've accumulated so much over the years, I could probably run a 2 years cycle and still have gear left over.

    a "whole cycle" ?
    is not much. to buy by the month would just be crazy in my op.

    but i would keep it low to safety also depends on your laws. if your in the UK go for a bunch fo cycles, if the USA. thats on you.

    ALWAYS have a bit extra because you loos a bit every time you draw and pin. for eg. if you want 2ml ew for 5 weeks you would think you only need 10ml right? wrong you will get 9.5ml if your lucky.

    so for a 12-14 week cycle of 2ml ew 30ml would/should be enough.

    just thought I would point that out, because newer people may not think of that.

    GOOD LUCK!

    Oh I only buy a week at a time. What could happen?
    I drop a vial. Shipping takes longer than expected? It never arrives
    And I never order my pct until my last pin. Again what could happen.

    Have everything on hand before you start. Everything

    I buy a crapload at a time so that I can "pulse" whenever I want too. I got alot, even though I dont need it all. It suck though when friends know you have a stockpile and come to you expecting a hand out. I buy however much I can afford at the ordering date.

    Hahaha. I would probably get a little more vulgar than that, but you made your point.

    I must have misunderstood. I thought we were talking about taking stuff from a linolium floor? Which is, by the way, completely wrong and i was just trying to be funny. Teaches me. Now i'm confused...Too much time w/the kids and not enough time here. Damn..

    If I spilled it or it broke it I would probably just remove the glass and lick it up. I know my floors are clean so all I would need is some extra liv52 for the liver support. We have they 5 second rule, right?

    I don't necessarily like buying my entire cycle in one single order. If something happens to that order you've lost $x. I like spreading it out over multiple orders so if something happens to one of them, it's not a total loss. I don't start blasting unless I have my goodies all on hand.

    Now, who here while they're currently running a cycle ever comes across a deal on more gear that they can't refuse so they buy more?

    Exactly. . .

    Nah, it was just convenient to buy it a bunch at once. A guy locally gave me a little bit then I have what I bought in a panic while on my last cycle. I freaked out and just needed to buy juice.
