I know how it is I've been there but do yourself a favor and wait. After the new year, I was ready to order gear but luckily I spent my money elsewhere. Before you make the ultimate decision give yourself 2 months. I can almost guarentee you will be shocked. During these two months do everything perfect. How many of you can say that you did everything right before and didn't gain. Diet and rest should be first. Eat more protein that you ever thought possible. If you're trying cut up, stay away from carbs at night. If you're into rec. drugs....lose them for a while. Training is an individual thing. Try doing somthing where you only hit one major bodypart per day.(like Big Kev's in the training forum) I just want to prove a point that gear really isn't needed yet. Just do everything as perfect as possible. Personnaly, I did this because of funds but have came to the conclusion that we don't need gear. Two months of waiting isn't going to kill you but I bet you'll change your mind. I'm trying to find a before pic but check out the changes i made.

My bodyfat has definately dropped as well. My whole routine is too much to type. But if you're thinking about juicing and still young and want a copy let me know. Just take some time and see what you can actually do naturally. It's only been a little over a month and I made changes I thought would only come with gear. You'll be amazed what complete dedication can do.
