How to get big on a low budget?

[sourcebrah]

Not new to the AAS game, but generally speaking, anyone who’s ever lived on a tight budget before, let’s give the hypothetical scenario you have $150/mo max to spend on PED’s per month (food, gym membership etc is already covered).

If your goals was to pack on as much size for the most bang for buck possible, what would you run (stack, duration, dosages) and why? not just aas obviously either, open to using insulin and gh although I assume no one will throw in gh because it would clearly exceed the budget lol.

So far this is my philosophy with running test and tren and test and deca only… cheap compounds that yield quality results. Shit, for around $75 a month on average I can run 500mg test e and 500 mg tren e. Want more anabolism? Up the dosages. etc. I could afford more, but to be honest I value frugality and I hate spending money. I much would rather be banking the extra I have each month than spending inordinate amounts on gear and PED’s that may be yielding diminishing returns anyways when I could just be getting the most from the cheapest effective compounds. Not trying to spend top dollar on weak compounds like primo that are more finishing touches for a competitor. right? But hey I don’t judge, if you have the money and value the bodybuilding over the money, more power to you.

Curious to hear everyone else’s thoughts.

I’m on a $120 budget. For what it’s worth I ordered 1 bottle of test e 400 and 2 bottles of NPP 200 from southern compound for less than $110. Plan on .5ml or each in the same syringe e3d. I’ll buy the same amount next month but maybe some anavar tabs, 1 bottle of test 400 and 1 bottle of NPP200. Just gotta shop around and take a month or 2 to build a good stock before you run a cycle. It works for me, maybe…just maybe it will work for you?

So your budget for six months is $900.

Home-brew. Use a 20$ hot plate. Spend for a beaker, glass stirring rod, a single bottle top filter, thermometer and 500ml glass media jar to screw the filter onto. The thermometer is for heating your finished product to 180 degrees (sterilize), and to make sure it is cooled to 140 before filtering. Over 140 degrees can hose your filter. Buy as much MCT, BA, BB as you need for six months stock. Use 50ml pre sterilized vials. You can get everything from Amazon, except the price for MCT was better from MedLabSupply last I looked. Your budget for subsequent brews will be lower because you will not need to buy glassware, heater, thermometer.

You can combine your finished oils into a single solution, and avoid hitting multiple vials.

I don’t know man, it seems like you have a really good plan. What are you stats and goals? The stack advice would be a lot different for someone who is 6’ and 200lbs vs someone who is 6’ 240lbs (assuming both lean).

Deca/Test/Tren are going to be your best bang for your buck, pretty much hands down. Other compounds are also great (like EQ or Adrol), but they are more expensive to run. GH is obviously cost prohibitive, and insulin is going to run you $30+/month depending on what you run and where you source it.

But as another poster said, home brewing would be your best bet if you really want to reduce costs. After the upfront costs, you will be spending like $25 on gear, depending on what you are running. It would also give you options to a lot of other compounds, as buying raws in bulk is so much cheaper than buying vials.

Save up for the next few months while you cruise on test (One vial can last a few months at TRT doses) and then drop 600ish on a nice supply to blast for 16-20 weeks. During this time you’ve already bought your shit so those 16-20 weeks you should be saving up again and when that blast is about to end, just order more shit to run. Cruise for a while and then blast on what you bought. Repeat. A few hundred bucks in gear is a lot of gear dude. If you’re not competing in pro comps you don’t need to be running multi thousand dollar cycles anyway.

Lol I’ll probably do this… not going to lie the only thing that’s been holding me back is the fear of sending grams of powdered gear through the mail.

Thanks. My goal is to get to 225-230 by the end of 2019. Currently hovering at around 201 or so 9-10% bf 5’10

Are you allergic to Mig840? If not, you could hit up southern co for some high concentration gear. More cost effective. $150/month can get you plenty of gear anyway. I feel like my average cycle costs like $300-$350 lol

How is the pip on the npp 200?

 

[jackson5]

home brew is the way to go. i was making tren 100mg for 20 bucks equivilant.
but if u gonna go the finished route, why bother with tren.
use the tren money and buy more test.
test/deca. or test/npp. thats all u need. i went from 185 to 235 in a few years doing an average of about 500-750 a week total dosage on cycle, and 200 test a week the rest of the year. never cycled longer than 8 weeks at a time.
i used npp and prop tho. best combo for me, the tren always fucked with my emotions after 4 weeks.

 

[Bearslovecheese]

150 per month is way more then you need to cycle. Gonna use Southern Compounding as an example but you can mix and match as you see fit.

1 10mL Vial Test E 250mg/mL - $25
500mg per week = 2mL.
5 weeks total volume of oil. $20/month
1 10mL Vial Tren E 300mg/mL - $45
600mg per week = 2mL.
5 weeks total volume of oil. $36/month

Now in the above scenario I would run one or the other at 2mL per week. So either 250 test / 600 tren (if you have experience on the tren train) or the other way around at 500 test / 300 tren. Totally sufficient to achieve many goals. Now on top of this you need some Ancillaries. This is where it actually gets “pricey” imo. This is also why I’m a big fan of tren + a TRT dose of test that you don’t need an AI on. Same would apply for Mast and maybe EQ depending on the person.

Shout out to Jekyl and Hyde labs for dosing their Arimidex in .25mg capsules. This is PERFECT for cruise doses or being able to fine tune your AI protocol and spread out your AI over the week.

 

[Swole_Guacamole]

1. Homebrew. way cheaper in the long term
2. run cycles where you dont require AI cause that shit is expensive
3. Food > any amount of gear.

For bulking. nothing beats test/anadrol or dbol. I personally don’t like deca for bulking. Test is just the king of adding mass and maintaining the appetite of a beast

 

[10gramsuvtrenEOD]

Per Week
2,500 TEST E $100
625 TREN E $40-50

1,000 TEST E $50
625 DECA $40-50
625-750 EQ $40-50

Bloods every 6 weeks or so, run until something is looking really fucked up.

I’ll try to remember to let you know when it comes in. Literally just ordered it yesterday bud.

I’m in a different boat. I like how I feel on tren, lol

Not sure if ~$650/month (including bloods) is necessarily “low budget”… If it is, you made it bro lol.

I didnt mean run that together! That’s two options that would equal ~$150

 

[yelruP]

I’m doing 600 mg test e (roughly 6$ a week) and 420mg npp (toughly 15$ a week), pretty cheap. I added in dbol but you’re better off using oils for the cost. You can also run deca instead of npp, it’s way cheaper

My bad, got thrown off by your username. And the “per week” at the beginning of the post haha.

Promised I’d let ya know. So the first pin was .5ml npp200 and .5ml test e 400 to see how the pip would be. Partially my fault due to a sub-q leak but my right delt had a fucking goose egg for a few days and wasnt comfortable. 2nd and 3rd pin was 1ml npp200 and in a separate syringe .5ml test e 400 to determine which i was reacting to. Npp200 at 1ml had a decent kick to it but I’ll keep running it as is but the test e 400 I’ve got to cut down with some more oil cause I feel like I’ve been kicked by a God damn horse lol SoCo has some stout npp though, feeling amazing and starting to “puff” up at only 300mg and 1 week.

Thank you!
