Just looking for averages here. For a beginner cycle. 12-16 weeks. What would you spend from a high to low.
Just looking for averages here. For a beginner cycle. 12-16 weeks. What would you spend from a high to low.
its really a broad question you know. depending on the type of gear, the source, anti e's etc. I spent more on food during my cycle than i did on actual steroids, and anti e's. I think that is one of the most underestimated factors. From now on I will never start a cycle without at least a few weeks of food on hand and a 1000$ or more for food. if your going to do it do it right.
several variables involved
and symatech is 100% correct the food required for the duration of your
cycle will be the biggest cost
other variable include what you decide to take
whether you buy from a guy at the gym , an internet source ect
the same bottle of lets say test. can run from $45 to $200
but to answer your question a good beginer cycle could be done
for 250 -$500

i usually will spend anywhere from 500 to 1000 depending on what i'm doing
What I don't understand is this....why do your eating needs change while on cycle?? You should eat the same way....6 times a day, whether you are on a cycle or not. Probably the reason so many people complain about not keeping gains....just my .02
i think it's cause you can metabolize more protein into muscle while on cycle so you can bump up protein intake and not worry about excess calories being turned into fatOriginally Posted by majorpecs
This was my first cycle, and I spent $535 with a gym guy. I just ordered another 325 from overseas...I only needed $120 of it for this cycle. Then you add in the ancillaries...three bottles of Nolva, one bottle of L-dex, one bottle of Exemestane, two bottles of liquid clen.
Also figure the protein powder...five big jugs and two bags.
Wait a minute...add in the IGF I ordered ($200), and this is getting expensive.
About $705 for Gear then about $120 for PCT
On the Average..
Money well spent..
It varys... but to do a good first cycle I'd say expect to pay somewhere between $300-$600, depending on your source... and that's JUST for the gear.
I just started a cycle two weeks ago (6th cycle) and I will probably spend in the neighborhood of $1500 for gear by the time it's done.
I up my proteins and carbs with 10% while on a cycle. Nothing fancy though...

But the expensive part for me is food, I do not even want to right that or i may get depressed thinking about it.
I usualyy spend around $1000 on gear for a cycle. (my source is a little expensive) another $100 or so a week in food, and around $100 or so more a month for supps and vitamins. then there is the cost of tanning to rid my back of zits. and of course by the time the cycle is over I have to buy a new wardrobe 'cause nothin fits! I am sure there are other expenses I forgot about, but cycling is very costly if done right.
think ahead, buy bulk, save$![]()
I just started my first cycle... About $430 my sust and d-bol came really cheap, got nailed on the anti-e''s and clomid tho. I agree with majorpecs tho (avout the food and supplementation all the time) spend about $55 a month on supps (www.supplementauthority.com very cheap) and i'm at school, so food is always avalible
i literally could not eat as much as I did on cycle. Off cycle I try and eat about 5 times a day. ON cycle, I was ALWAYS hungry. I ate 6-7 full meals a day. My body just cant process the protein etc, that fast when Im off. if it could, i wouldnt use juice, not to mention i'd be a baaad mother ****erOriginally Posted by majorpecs

First cycle simple.... 2 bottles of Test E 120 bucs!
4 bottles of cyp - $200
3 bottles of prop - $105
3 bottles of deca - $255
30 amps of primo - $330
10,000iu of HCG - $28
60 tabs of clomid - $70
1 gram arimidex - $80
hitting my alltime high of 245lbs ( hopefully)........priceless
Was gonna end up spending $700-$800 for Mexican stuff that was probably underdosed. Plus an extra $1000 or so reserved for food and supplements.
Just got QV Deca-300 2x10ml bottles
Tornel Super-test 250 2x10ml bottles
with-out food and supliment cost I have put out $360
Well i haven;t actually started yet but i plan on spending about 275 for a 12 weeker: 12 vials test 250, 3 boxes clo, 3 nolva, and 4 clen. seeing as it's my first cycle i think i have estimated everything out pretty good and i figure anything left over will be put toward the next cycle![]()

about $100 for 2 vials of QV Test E250 for a 10 week cycle, and about $60 on 2 retin-A tubes, and $120 for PCT that includes L-dex, L-clom, L-nolv and pins.

I tend to shop for stuff I don't plan on using. I end up fingering down the list and thinking, hey, why not for a rainy day?
But for the most part, my cycles are cheap. Test and tren is really all I do. Some EQ thrown in here and there
i spent around $1200 on my second cycle. But for a beginner cycle, you should get away with spending under $500, depending on your source.
The money thing should not be an issue. Some people pay less for gear because they have great sources, others pay a little more for their gear. All that really matters is the legit-ness of your gear. Me, i pay a little higher price, but i know that all my gear is legit, and i deal with my source face-to-face.
You may get away paying $200 for your first cycle, thinking you got the deal of your life, but if your gear is fake. Your no better off than tits on a bull.
I definatel up my protein to about 1.5gs per pound on the gear and then go back down to 1g per lb when i'm off.Originally Posted by scottninpo
Oh btw...I usually spend anywhere from $1500.00-$2500.00 on average. But now that I've been doing GH it's up around $2000.00 a month for my gear and GH. so lets say $4000.00-$5000.00 per cycle.![]()
that's canadian $$ ...so like $100.00 US that's cheap isn't it![]()
bump
anywhere from 200.00 to 300.00
im curious....everyone that is spending less than $500 what are your cycles looking like?
test e, eq, nolva,clomid simple my next will run about 6-700.00
I just spent around $1200 for the cycle I am on now and everyone is right about the food.
people who are spending under 500 are either brewing their own or are doing very short cycles
Hell yeah I wish I could get a cycle for $500 bucks.Originally Posted by scottninpo
this will make you sick, but my next (second) cycle of var, tren enanthate, and prop is going to cost me under 500
Wow, some of the prices you guys pay are unbelievable!!! I could put together cycles that would make most people on here drool for less than $500.
What is the average price of Var?? I've noticed that most other AAS I can purchase are considerably cheaper than what you guys have listed. I just bought 2 bottles of 100 10mg anavar and paid $130 a piece....is this good as well?? I wasn't sure if $1.30 a 10mg pill is good considering I'm popping 4 a day!
