Don’t use steroids then if you can’t afford blood tests.
Blood tests aren't cheap here either. But where's theres a will there's a way. You can try online services, teaching medical colleges.
I'm not trying to talk shit brother... I'm a broke bitch myself (well... I make really good money, I just have a lot of people who rely on it)
So I'm all about shopping around and finding deals.
A decent gear cycle is going be a few hundred bucks. 2-3 vials of test, a few vials of deca, or whatever, then orals, plus Arimidex and Nolvadex for pct.
A 10 week cycle can easily be $300 bucks. So that's $30 a week.
You absolutely should get bloods drawn before your first cycle. You absolutely need to know what's going on with your body. You could be walking into a nightmare.
Lots of people say to get bloods done before and after every cycle... that's just not necessary. Getting bloods twice a year is what I think is necessary.
Every 6 months will tell you what you need to know.
So that's $700 worth of blood work a year. That's $13.50 a week. 700÷52=13.46
So... if you can't afford to put away $15 a week for bloods... no offense but then you can't afford to run gear. Because you're food budget alone will be quadruple that. To eat enough and healthy enough to make the gear worth taking... $13.50 a week is nothing. It's a carton of eggs.
There's nothing cheap about this hobby. The gym equipment, the gym membership, the price of our diets and supplements. Then the cost of gear and EVERYTHING that goes along with taking the gear so we can do it safely... it's a pretty damn expensive lifestyle.
So if you don't have at least $100 extra a week in disposable income... leave gear alone and focus on your diet brother
