+ 3 Buy what you need
I thought this might be a good post for people that are making their first purchases or trying a new brand like I was around the holidays last year. There are so many promos from different sources it is hard not to see one you want to jump on. If you have used the source or lab and know how your body responds to the particular product then buy whatever your muscles desire. On the other hand, if it is new to your body I would advise you purchase what you need for your cycle and see the reaction from your body.
The instance that made me want to write this post is my pharmacy was out of my test cyp script last week and I was to busy to transfer the script to another pharmacy and go pick it up. I decided to open a new vial of test e from my stash and use it for that weeks shot until the pharmacy restocked for my script. I was reminded of the feeling I had every single injection of this particular brand I cycled before. I would have an irritating pain and itchyness a couple of inches in diameter under the skin where I pinned for about a week. The area also feels hard for the same time frame and slowly goes back to normal. I am obviously allergic to something this lab uses in their product. This is not to say their product is bad because it most definitely worked. I just toughed it out during that cycle. Now when I took my script shot this Wednesday it had zero pain like I am used to since I started trt.
The mistake I made is that I made a big purchase of enough gear for two cycles before I had ever used that brand. Now I have product that is still good for use, but not by me. Having that juicy juice just sitting in my stash looking at me knowing I can't have her is cruel and unusual punishment that I don't want anyone else to have. Hopefully reading this will help others save money they work hard for and take the time to see how their body responds in all aspects to each product before buying in bulk.

bigmak1Yeap it's trial and error. I have never ordered in bulk well not until I've ran a particular lab that I've found consistent over time.
I think mixing up labs constantly switching from one to the next is a recipe for disaster.
I myself have thrown away a decent amount of money on gear that wasn't for me in the past.
There's no magic lab, test is test after all providing it's dosed correctly.
I have 3 labs that are go to for me because I've never had any issues (well on the odd few occasions)
What makes some labs bad for one will be perfectly good for another.
Carrier oils BA/BB concentration all come in to play when picking the lab that's best for you......
Thanks for the input! The more info and experiences from everybody the better it is for the community.
Just pinned some new gear and feel like shit today. I hate the trial and error period w/ new gear.... Is it the gear, or did I just catch a bug?
Test flu????
I doubt it, but you never know. I'm gonna pin it again today and see what I feel like.
I've got back up gear as well, that I know is agreeable with me.
bigmak1Now that's the way to do it. Always have a safety stash put to one side that you know is good to go,
Never put all your eggs in one basket so to speak. The amount of times I've seen people moaning on this board that they spent all there money bought such and such from this source and it's not usable for whatever given reason then there stuck with no back up.
I won a few bottles of gear in an essay contest, scored some tren e, and supertest 400 for a little write up on HCG.
I'm feeling pretty groovy today, and so is the wifey.... So I think it was just a bug.
Hope your gear is good and you feel better soon boss!
already feeling better,
thanks Rat.
Wife is feeling crappy too, so probably just a bug.
Glad you are doing better. Maybe the wife just needs some new gear too! Lol
IfbbmoeThis is a great point. I too am guilty of ordering a large amount of gear from a brand I haven't really tried prior to that. I just hate paying twice for shipping and money gram and waiting for two separate shipments so I order in bulk. But yea ideally I would give it a test run before ordering a lot, I have been lucky in the past but all luck comes to an end at some point. I have to say that although I am excited about the promos coming I am also pretty nervous because I am going to be tempted to make a big order on a good promo and I don't want to get fucked the way I did with Domx again
I don't want people to think buying in bulk is a bad thing. The feeling of temptation by deals and promos is fundamental to business and sales. Companies are not trying to make you feel shafted in any way because without you they don't exist. I just have lots of perspective being self-employed and owning different businesses for so long I see both sides of the coin. The circumstances of purchasing aas is unique because it isn't like you get a 30 day return policy if you have a bad reaction, so it is important to be self aware. With that being said, I have seen numerous reviews on this site where sources and labs go above and beyond to fix problems whether it be with the actual product or shipping etc because they ultimately want you to be happy with your purchases and help business grow.
Rustyhooker^^^^^cant post lab names in forums.
IfbbmoeMy bad
Good idea.... But a lot of addictive personalities here..myself included..addicted to the gym and hoarding good gear
Keeping all the good stuff for yourself.... Smart man.
RustyhookerTrying a cycle of new gear prior to a big buy? I like that thinking! I tried and continue trying new items on cycle. Then when you find a great product...cha ching! Buy
New folks get overwhelmed. I sure did at first.
Thanks man! I know I was super overwhelmed when I was coming back on the scene. There are so many labs and products to choose from. Not to mention all the ancillaries that were non existent or really hard to get if you lived in a small town. It was harder to get clomid than it was to get some test when I got started. I learn something new every time I am on here. I am by no means an expert in this area so it is fun to be a student of something again. The search function has been great as well.
I've had gear that I couldnt use due to my reaction to the oil. Had a solid SRC switch from GSO to sesame oil and I could not handle the PIP.
Tossed that stuff in the bin, It would have been easy to send it to someone else but I don't want to be a shipper of steroids...... only the recipient,
Asked the SRC what he did to his gear, he let me know about his change of oils and sent me some replacements made with good ol' GSO
I am starting to pay more attention to those details as well. I want the product I buy to be as close to the pharma script as it can with the preservatives and percentages of each.
No pain No gain. Ill take that extra test off your hands brotha
Because injecting a muscle group and getting crippling pip to the point of not being able to work that particular body part is no pain no gain....Thats called no Brain no pain.
If it aint hurtin.... it aint working!! Haha im just messing around man. Who would want to inject themselves with gear that gives that a reaction like that...
I feel like everything gets lumped in to pip but there is a difference in feelings for every individual. I've had the test p charlie horse feeling and that was gone by the next day usually. This particular circumstance I am talking about was way different and the exact feeling happened no matter where I injected it. I just didn't know better because I hadn't cycled in a long time and thought this must be the type of pip you get from ugl gear. Now being down the road a ways and having experience with pharmaceutical grade for my script and ugl that is smooth like pharma I understand it doesn't have to hurt to work. If something doesn't feel right your body will tell you. I want to have everyone be aware so they can avoid bad experiences.
Well some of it could be that you haven't cycled for a while and the muscle isn't used to getting stuck with a needles daily... but I know what your saying. You know how your body works. But some guys I see complaining of pip I think are forgetting that you are sticking a needle into your muscle. A lot of first time cyclers wondering why it hurts so bad... its part of the game sometimes honestly. Injection technique has a lot to do with it among other things. While it can sometime just be the gear, its not ALWAYS the gear that causes pip.
I hear ya man. Needles through the skin cause trama the body has to repair whether it is minimal or significant. It takes time to figure out what works best for you. Lots of trial and error. For me, once I switched to slin pins for everything except glutes it made a world of difference. I would rather take 2 slin pins with 1ml each than one pin with a lower gauge needle.
Im with you on that. Injections get old real fast but using slin pins definitely helps. Mct oil through a slin pin is ideal.
I haven't tried mct oil yet. Could you tell us the differences you have experienced between mct and other carrier oils? Appreciate the knowledge
In my experience its the thinnest and smoothest type of oil. Easiest to draw up and inject with a slin pin.
Thanks man. I will start doing some research on it.
No pain AND gains is more my style chief lol. It is actually 3 vials of test and 5 of eq that could be just for you haha. Send me a message if you want more info and we can see if we can work something out.
Probably not a good idea hoss. If you got it and don't want it scrap that shit. I did it to almost 50 vials a few months back. And it's against the rules to do any type of sales via pm
I looked at your post quick and thought you trashed 5 vials but 50... Damn!! I thought I was wasting a lot with 8 lol.
Gotcha buddy. My bad I was mess in around. I wouldn't want to send anything out anyway. To much to risk.
I'll chime in here by saying...if you have established good things with a certain sources gear, why stray promos or not? This merchandise is being injected into our bodies, not worn like clothes.
I agree buddy. I mentioned that in the post. I was just speaking about how I bought in bulk before knowing my reaction to a brand in hopes of others not making the same mistake.
I got ya. I was generally speaking so as to add to your post. Knuckles brother and good post!
Thanks for the contributions and props.
