good god, how do you afford it?

[godfather17]

i mean really, its hundreds of dollars every cycle. i am just wondering how you guys afford it.

[Dr Pepper]

Sacrifice you have to make if your dedicated to it...

[gonzo6183]

LOL 100's... Try living in Oz, its 1000's for a COMPETE cycle

[Ernst]

It's nothing compared to the money spent on food if you're doing it right...

[critical]

are you ****ing kidding me? supplements are more expensive than steroids.

[Dr Pepper]

LOL 100's... Try living in Oz, its 1000's for a COMPETE cycle

That's the truth brother. I'm from Melb, expensive but we all love it!

[barnyap]

havent regretted it one bit

[mrniceguy215]

lol.

[marcus300]

The cost of cycles is very cheap when you consider the cost of food to maintain a bodybuilders lifestyle.

[lovbyts]

We are NOT 18, we have higher education from finishing school/college, we have time invested in our jobs and life so we make a more than minimum wage. Another reason to wait until you are older.

[dece870717]

Ha! With the right source cycles are super cheap, I won't even spend a 1000 to buy 4 cycles and that's with doing high dosed cycles with lower dosed cycles I wouldn't spend 1000 to buy 7 cycles. And don't bother asking me for my source cause he doesn't take new cusomers.

[ScotchGuard]

My protein, creatine, l-glutamine, CSAA, insulin mimicker, power blast preworkout, thermalgenics, etc. per month cost me more than an entire 12 week cycle. I think AAS is cheap.

[njviking]

considering how effective they are if taken correctly with a clean diet and cardio....they are not expensive at all.

word life

[NMacFar]

Christ, a 12 week cycle is like a bar tab on a Friday night... I don;t think it's expensive

[durak]

lol... depending on where you live, a proper dinner for 2 with wine cost more than a bottle of cypionate.

[Bossman]

If you brew your own, it's down right cheap.

[Nooomoto]

My gf buys my cycles. The food bill kills me though. Just think of the money you save while not going out and getting drunk every weekend...then put it all to food.

[RoadToRecovery]

Well, AAS isnt any of those things... you still need the supplements that you cant get from your diet. But I will tell you that if you are spending over 100 for supps a month... you are doing something wrong.

Creatine, multivitamins, aminos and protein shouldnt cost any more then 70-100 dollars a month. If you are the type to drink 4 shakes a day, thats where things get expensive and thats where you are doing things incorrectly.

Most likely, if you are buying from a local dealer you are paying anywhere from 5-10x more than if you located a decent source.

Right there with yah.....

My food bill is utterly ridiculous..... i'd say the cycles are the cheapest part of bodybuilding lol. Hell a 10lb bag of protein is about $60-$70.....

~Haz~

[big_k]

Just think how much a butt or bicep implant costs...its relatively cheap if you compare it to that

[AlphaGenetics]

I have to agree that I spend more on food than aas but I homebrew.

[russiandave]

Maybe its just me but i feel that neither cycles or food are expensive. A few hundred bux is a drop in the bucket.

Im on 5iu hgh daily , thats about the priciest thing to date.

Other than that, my cycle was dirt cheap, even with the 80mg anavar a day. And as far as food goes, i get bulk chicken , bulk everything actually, at sams or bjs.

[bignoob]

I have yet to cycle. Im still the in the research phase and trying to the the bf down. Which is going well, I am starting to see my abs again....god I missed those guys. Anyhow, I live in a small rural town with lots of farmers. I plan to buy my chicken, and beef directly from the sale barn. You can buy in huge amounts, put in your order for how you want it cut, and have it deliverd to your house and it cost half what you would pay in a grocery store. You could have a friend go in half with you. Simply because buying a whole cow is a probably more beef than you could possibly eat in one cycle. You should check into something like that in your community. The sale barns and butchers are usually not far from the grocery stores.

[JasonT]

^^^ yeah ok buddy

[Tyler694]

haha, same thing here.

My girlfriend also funds my "drug habits", so to speak.

[NotSmall]

I mainly just pimp a few hos.

Why haven't I though of that?!

[Mooseman33]

[QUOTE=anointedone;5153331]I totally agree with CRITICAL. I was a drug free bodybuilder for 14 years and gained only 75 pounds from supplements in that time. I spent $1,000 a month on supplements, every single month for 14 years. I just started steroids 4 weeks ago. I spent $400 and gained 14 pounds in my first 4 weeks. Steroids are cheap man.

cmon man, edit this shit.
this is not a source board. please respect our rules here.

Yes. Some of us are not poor or struggling to get by.

When Canadian sprinter Donovan Bailey was the fastest man in the world in the early to mid 1990's he was already well off. I recall he was an investment broker. He could train full time, drove a 911 and lived in a massive house. Winning the gold in the 100m poured in sponsorships.

He had no issues paying for massage therapy, GH and other goodies

[Hard.On]

its the cost of achieving greatness...

didnt know you could put a dollar value on that

[2jz_calgary]

my gf is buying my next cycle and has sprung for hgh lolz. I agree though food and supplements are the most expensive over time.

[The One]

dude, when I was buying the creatine, the protein shakes and all the other sups. I was actually spending more money for no results.

[RoadToRecovery]

$1000 a month on supplements? Thats bs.

[t-gunz]

LOL 100's... Try living in Oz, its 1000's for a COMPETE cycle

lol i feel sorry for you if you have to pay that much

LMAO - Do you think these girls are trying to tell you something?

[lovbyts]

LMAO - Do you think these girls are trying to tell you something?

I wasnt going to go there...

[Bertuzzi]

$650-$700 CDN is my min grocery bill per month and I buy a lot at Costco. The Price of AAS, not so bad. Hey, speaking of costco imagine if steroids became over the counter legal.... LOL Costco would be the shit!!

[Nooomoto]

LMAO - Do you think these girls are trying to tell you something?

Who cares...it's free gear. Would you complain?

[NotSmall]

Dude - "Hey can I get those golf clubs for my birthday"

GF - "Actually I was kinda thinking about getting you on some steroids"
