+ 3 Cycle expense guide
ad
Thought id post a general guide to the amount of money that you can expect to spend on a basic cycle, food and pct. The prices will fluctuate depending on your source/state but this should help beginners get a guesstimate of how much you're actually spending on a cycle
Test E 500mg week 1-12 weeks: 120-180$
(3month expense)
Gym membership: 54-100$
Food: 700-1000$ depending on if you buy in bulk or not.
Pct: 120-160$
Basic Supplements(if you take it): 300-600$
Minimum: roughly 1500$
Maximum: roughly 2100$
What I'm trying to get at is that you need to plan and expect to spend X amount on a full cycle which consists of what's listed above.

I have a wife and 4 children , so as far as expenses go, family always comes first . It's sometimes hard to find the room to budget for gear so unfortunately I usually have to buy different parts of my cycle a little bit at a time , ESP when running multiple compounds for extended cycles it can get very expensive. It's a lot differnt from when I was young and single and could spend my money any way I wanted. Now have to try and fit in buying everything I need after everyone else's needs are takin care of first. But my max usually exceeds the max amount posted here and that's just in gear.
ClassyChassisYou're going to know how much your cycle is going to cost juice and pct-wise because you are going to buy everything you need before you even begin, Right? (-;
Food is best bought in bulk and prepared in advance as much as possible, both for cost, and so you aren't cooking constantly. So don't forget to factor in the cost of the Tupperware. Ha ha, as obvious as all this seems, this is actually a good post for some people, so a +1 from me.
One thing is for certain. There is no cutting corners on running a proper cycle. If you half ass your cycle trying to be frugal then expect to get half ass results. Now you've just wasted the money you were worried about in the first place. I am not rich by any means but if money were an issue then I need to reevaluate my priorities.
Gym membership -if you have one -is an expense you have cycle or not.
Food -you eat even when not on cycle. Looking at your numbers, $700 low (3 months? $58 per week?) I need to shop where you shop because just my 3 main meals each day average about $5 per plate...
But, without being nitpicky, your point is well taken, you need to plan everything out, Dosage, ancillaries, length of cycle, PCT, and make sure you have the TIME to dedicate to your cycle. (no looming trip, etc.) The cost is both time and money.

Wow I must have eroids greatest source because I buy much more than that for like $600 lol. I also don't think that gym and food should factor into a "cycle expense" as they should be arrays budgeted into your everyday lifestyle whether you're cycling or not, and damn your gym food and supplement costs are off the charts
it should be consistent year round, dont jump on cycle and suddenly eat more, should be consistent.
Unless your bulking. Anyway this guide is to show how much you're actually spending on a basic cycle.
Not every member here is consistent with their diet. We have seasonal/cycle warriors and hopefully this guide will put things into perspective for them as well as beginners.
good points, ramping calories up and down on, off cycle is disaster, consistency is key to keep those gains.
"You'll Only Ever Get As Big As Your Wallet In This Game", I ALWAYS advice when asked about costs, Mate.
epcfitnessNeedles, Syringes, Alcohol Swabs should not really be calculated in. Unless it's your first cycle then you should have plenty and a surplus of those. Now the gym membership you are already paying for and when it comes to nutrition, regardless if your on a cycle or not you should have that down nice and tight. Basic supplements I won't get into because I think for the most part they are all a waste of money. For the price you pay to how much you actually get out of them I don't find them nearly worth it. I would rather use all that supplement money to buy more chicken breast, potatoes, fruits, vegetables, natural juices. So expenses calculated should really only be pct then how much you need for your cycle length, compounds and dosages…
What I'm trying to get at is everything else mentioned should pretty much be covered on a daily basis weather your on a cycle or not. If you don't already have a gym membership and barely spend any money on food or eating right then you shouldn't even start to think about taking steroids. Gave you a +1 for the general awareness.
RustyhookerTest $100, meet minimum $200, ai $35, pins $20, pct $85-200, shipping $100. Food is always triple. Drop a bottle....restart...
