About Ready to Start First Cycle - Best Course of Action?

[Strong Bad]

Alright I'm pretty new here but I've read up quite a bit and I think I'm ready to start a beginner cycle of 500 mg Test E for 12 weeks. I've also read up on PCT and feel pretty confident about what I'll need for that. My stats, if it makes any difference, are 6'1, 185, 12% bf, 28 years old. I've been lifting hard for a little while now and I feel like my diet is in order.

I don't know anybody who is on. So I live in LA, and originally I figured I would go across the border to Mexico and buy some gear in TJ or Rosarito. Having searched the forum about Mexico, I'm kinda wary about that option now with all the crackdowns and fakes out there. So I came up with 3 choices:

1. Drive down to Mexico, risk bad gear and the border.
2. Try to buy online and risk getting scammed.
3. Try to become friends with one of the monsters in my gym. I'd prefer that nobody at my gym knew, however, for certain reasons.

Just wondering from those who are know what is likely the best choice? Cheapest? Safest? I've read the forum rules and believe that I am within them. Please let me know if I need to edit.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Fkn mexico AND the boarder?
you kidding me?

Just go to a local gym, and try and befriend some big guys. You will be suprised at how nice people are in the gym!

they will have sources. if not the big guys, ANYONE really...
gyms are rampant with the golden goods

Strong Bad, this is sorta borderline fishing for a source. Which is a no no. Hang out. Do some research. Post your diet in the diet forum.
Once you have 25ish posts you will be able to PM. This type of conversation is best kept off the public boards.

PS It sounds like you've already done some homework, so I wasn't knockin ya there.
Good luck!

No prob, I appreciate the heads up. This was definitely not meant to be a fishing thread, just trying to get advice.

I guess I'll try that.

I think of the three ...ask someone at the gym in a tactfull way....maybe ask if they've ever juiced...then what they used ...then hit em up for a source......in my gym...juice talk is almost encouraged!! lol

The gym is a great place to find a hook up for gear but needless to say don't be that douche bag that just opens conversations by asking how long someone has been on gear or what they are currently taking. That never seems to get you that far. Spend enough time in the gym and they will be coming to you.

4. learn chemistry

Hmmm, I thought that powders fell under the same laws as ready-to-inject gear. I guess that it would be one less risk to know what type of oil is going in there and that it's sterile...

don't walk up to the off duty cop having his daily workout in the gym

Aha that could be bad.

I could have sworn that there was some type of deal going down in the locker room today after my workout but I didn't want to be "that guy" that butts in and gets all nosy.
