good god, how do you afford it?

[NVR2BIG1]

Yes, it can be very expensive. My average cycle runs me about $700, and that's only about 2 compounds and my HCG. However, each compound I'm running is a decent amount and its of the best quality gear there is. It's funny because I've seen numerous guys run xyz crazy cycles on boatloads of bathtub made shit, and get half the gains I got on just 2 quality steroids from reputable manufacturers. So I'm a firm believer you get what you pay for. I would much rather save some money and run 2 solid cycles/yr minus cruising on HRT, than some unsafe bathtub shit all year long. You have to put it in perspective, lets say you designate 2k/yr to steroids, thats 2 cycles and the course of a good 24 wks, almost half the year. Now we get to the grocery side of things, this is where the real $$ comes into play. I had to back off alot and keep it realistic. My only goal with bodybuilding is to keep getting better and someday look like the guys from the 70's. I'll never look like the new age era, and I refuse to spend the money to do so. If I have to eat 6 whole eggs/day instead of 12 egg whites in order to get 2 days out of a carton of eggs then I will. As for a large number of the population and how they afford it, easy....they're sucking some rich old mans dick out in Cali and he's paying for their gear. Sad

And a decent source that doesnt charge 100 dollars a bottle.

[jeffefrijoles]

Two words..... HOME BREW!!!!

[Nobuddy]

my cycle normally runs me 3ish, but you figure that's 10-12 weeks and then 10-12 weeks off means i'm looking at less than 4bills for 5-6 months. i'm not rich, but i really don't consider that a lot of money. hell, smoking cigarettes (which i don't) would be more expensive than that

got three words for ya, OP: you gee ell

[bigboomer]

I mean come on save some money up..Stuff some money a way every week 25-50 bucks..Then when you have enough money for a complete cycle you buy it...Although a couple hundreds bucks for a cycle to me aint shit..Those people that pay in the thousands for a cycle...DAMN!!!Sorry guys!!!!

Brother, I have more sources than Carters got pills. Some of them charge a bottle, some charge/bottle, some charge/bottle. I never go with the cheapest guy, EVER. Posts like "its been 5 months, where's my shit?" or "I just took a shot and now I have a knot the size of a baseball" those posts are usually from the guys who had the good source with the cheap prices, hahahhahaha

Exactly, is a drop in a ****ing bucket.

[2jz_calgary]

i have an amazingly cool girlfreind who incourages anything that makes me happy. Leave it to someone to try and derive something negative from that. cheers

[Bossman]

Brother, cheap prices, hahahhahaha

LMAO, I haven't heard that since my Mom said it 30 years ago! I know you're not as old as me........

[c-Z]

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.

Speak for yourself. My mama always told me to go to college... Should have listened... LMAO.
