Yes, been off a year only because sick of getting bunk shit, will stay on a bare minimum of 250mg week for life when find a decent supplier whose amp boxes don't come open with 3 different brand in.
If you are only interested in doing 250mg a week, why not look into one of the HRT/TRT clinics. They are everywhere now days. At $149-$199 per month, it might be a little more pricey than your usual $30 for a 10ml bottle of test, but at least you are getting legit shit from the pharmacy AND you have a script and therefore no legal risk of being busted with a hot pack in the mail or if your gf/wife/arch nemesis rats you out to the cops while you are having an argument with their stupid asses.
Comes with regular blood work, labs results, and the other ancillaries of HCG and adex (if you get a good doc at a good lab, they can swap the adex for aromasin as some people feel it is much better for long term use).
Some clinics even offer HGH therapy for $299-$399 per month. But I do have to say I have not looked into this part in depth and from the glance over I have given it, the HGH therapy can vary drastically. I have seen 2ius ED, 3ius E2D, 9ius week, or just a script you take to the pharmacy yourself and have your insurance pay. Obviously, you are not going to get 3ius of Serostim daily for $299-$399 per month. If your insurance will cover Serostin, some clinics with write you the script.
A couple of reasons. First your body quits responding to it as well as it did initially. Second you can permanently shut down a high percentage of your own testosterone production. I won't even get into how it can change the viscosity of your blood, raise blood pressure, increase red blood cells to dangerous levels and the rest.
Third reason is do you really know what's in that Chinese made counterfeit crap your injecting? Is it really deca or straight testosterone with a ton of impurities? So many fans of steroids believe it's rocket science to duplicate the box, vial label and insert while the Chinese making money from this stuff laugh.
Excellent advice. Anyone that is thinking of using any anabolics for more than six months nonstop reallllyyyyy needs to consider donating blood regularly. As a matter of fact, some TRT/HRT clinics will not even take you as a patient unless your numbers are under 48 when measured (while you are off of everything. obviously you don't go see the TRT doc while on gear or having high test numbers from recent use.)
If over 40, then donating blood is basically a must if you are considering it for long term use. Along with cutting back on eating red meat and dairy products.
Of course other issues such as prostate, BP, balding, etc.. exist as well. Depending on the person, some are better/worse than others.
