    This is probably the dumbest question on here, but here goes

    Hello everyone- I'm new to the site. I'm 49 and looking to get back into things. When I was in my 20s I was in pretty good shape and had a gym/gear connection but am 25 years removed from the process. As the title says this is probably the dumbest question on this site. It looks like the golden rule on here is to never provide source information, which I totally get for obvious reasons. What I'm struggling with is what can I do with any information I learn if I can never figure out where to find a good/legitimate source? I'm really stuck here and hoping for some help and guidance.

    I totally appreciate that and thanks for the quick reply, but no disrespect intended at all but that's a one-size-fits-all answer to a very individual question. I live in a small town and go to a small gym where I can practically guarantee nobody has a source or is a source or uses at the gym. I don't live in a big city and go to a big gym where I can gradually befriend like-minded people. Where I am it just isn't going to be possible. So again that brings me back to being stuck. It is not an 'instant results' thing.

    It's actually not the dumbest question ever, so congratulations on that!

    Peep the labs sub forum and read between the lines. Also be very careful of anyone sending you PMs for sources.

    Solid advice from @Cuz, BTW. Take your time, get in the reps, contribute and learn, and it will get easier.

    I was in your shoes about 2 years ago. Hope this doesn't go against rules, but I did some research using TOR browser. Tor is a little safer as it goes through a proxy server....not 100% safe mind you....but what it also does is return search results for other not so common domain extentions. So not only ones like .com, .net or the like, it will return others like .onion and such. It also uses a search engine that doesn't track your history, unlike Google. So you can search for sites that sell aas.

    Still you have to be able to glean the good from the bad and nothing is guaranteed, but if you do enough research it should be easy to find sources.

    we are all, or most here to help. You have only been here under 14 days, take time to learn the board. Visit the other sections, I promise ONE section will have what you are looking for.

    please be careful, if anyone sends you a pm offering to sell you anything they are going to scam you.

    when people come on and have respect like you have in this thread there will always be people here to help.

    small towns mean nothing, you have internet, you will have gear soon.
    don't rush, do the homework and it is here.

    Seeing as you are old why don't you just go to a clinic? 100% guarantee you will get a prescription straight up. This way you can get back to a high baseline.

    I did have a TRT prescription for about six months last year but the dosage a doctor gives is only going to be the bare minimum to get you in the low range of 'normal' levels. Way below what I'm looking for or need. I was on 200mg/2weeks and it was barely noticeable.

    Need to break that into 2x/ week if you're self injecting. That should improve serum levels some.

    Also if you have a local trt/hormone clinic, they're usually more willing to "allow" your levels to remain higher in range as long as you're not having side affects. Mine was around 1400 and he was like cool, how do you feel? I developed some gyno and have since cut my dose in half, but still remain around 700 test level.

    You can literally find anything on the internet. But this isn't the site to find sources for gear. This place is educational. Some of the people here have many years of experience with training and gear and likely have made many mistakes to you really should listen to LONG BEFORE YOU EVER THINK ABOUT TOUCHING STEROIDS . It might change your mind. At the very least you might learn for their mistakes.

    Just like Mooseman says if somebody on the internet approaches you and offers you gear, they're likely scamming you.

    I'd recommend being a sponge for at least a year before you think you're ready to do anything more than TRT (and I'm of the belief that you should only do TRT under the care of a medical professional). The more you read (and not just on this site) the more you'll start to answer your question of where to find gear.

    You should read this thread:

    And by the way, the only dumb questions are the ones you decide not to ask.

    In addition to the link H_K posted up, below are 2 links that you should really read and get familiar with in regards to TRT.
