Even HG stuff you buy over the internet could be fake, in which case it will be just like any UGL gear, if not worse (but probably worse, since they don't have to worry about upholding a rep).
Besides, just like you don't know if the steroids you got are legit, you also aren't going to know if the mixes you got are legit too. It could be mixed with a bunch of sh*t you have no idea. Also, if you do your measuring right thats great, but again the mixtures themselves may have wrong mg doses so therefore it could be very inaccurate. Right, kind of like if you read a label and it says 100 calories per serving...But what if the labels are wrong? You can't trust that sh*t you use to make it either.
Checking the legitimacy of a powder is pretty easy if you know what properties to look for. Sure, it may have trace contaminants, but so does everything else you eat or drink. And you weigh it all out when you brew, so the dosing is going to be accurate to within a percent or two, assuming your math is good (most of the impurities in raw materials are just water).
As for the 60mg, yeah it can be done, I've done it but its pushing it. Thats fine if your buddy ran 60 mg 8 weeks but that is REALLY pushing it and I don't think any would disagree with that. I've pushed it myself knowingly but I would not do it that often. And for the guys that run it all year long they are definitely NOT taking 60mg. They are taking anywhere between 10-20 mg for maintenance and thats it.
