Steroid/supplement costs and thoughts

I had an interesting chat with a big muscled man I've been in touch with for several years. I've seen him progress and pack on mass during that time and he's gone through different regimines of supplements.

I asked him how much it costs per month for what he's on now and he sent back the following estimates:

2000 a month for HGH
1000 a month for test inject
750 a month for dbol orals

A couple of questions. First off, are these costs pretty typical for these types of supplements? How common is this mix of things he's on?

He's well over 300 lbs and has probably been lifting 15 years. He pays for the supplements with a mix of his own funds and contributions from individual sponsors. He's not the kind of guy that could get commercial sponsorship as a bodybuilder - he doesn't compete and is going for massive size.

If this is typical of someone more advanced, I could see how it would be difficult to do on your own unless you had a high paying job; then you probably wouldn't have the time to do serious gym work.

Seconded. I hope he's just trying to brag and show off. Otherwise he's getting massively ripped off.

A friend did a cycle some time ago. he paid, for everything (including injectables, orals, post-cycle support, professional advising and injecting) the equivalent of 600$.

Maybe you got the time wrong. if he's as big as you say he probably stays on gear year round or at least several cycles a year. HGh could be run for 6 mos and cost around 2k.

most guys tend to talk about how much they pay for a cycle not how much they pay per month.

You might be right - I could have the time frame incorrect.
