Back at the start in the early '60 (regardless what you may hear otherwise) it came to roughly $30 a month spent each month at the local drug store with a prescription from your neighborhood doctor.

And in some cases that would include a vitamin B-12 shot three or four times a month.

I hear things are different now. Even the "natural" guys spend more than that.

my guess is we never know since it entirely depends on the persons body and tolerance of such substances also since they are still illegal I guess most of them are a little shy sharing their stack :)

10k a year? I know for a fax not naming names but certain pros who spend more then that for a show.

So I would say depending on how many shows they do you are in the 30-60 k range

Between 10/15K. Some go overboard with the drugs and buy more.

Advanced stuff like HGH is the most expensive part. Insuline is cheap.

not only is insulin cheap. but with insulin, you can drastically drop your other AAS.  its a cost cutter !  ;D

the TOP (like top 10 mr. o) pros probably shell out 10/15k or more per year for gh alone

What new policy?  I didn't post racism or attack anyone, I brought up a true problem that actually happpens in bodybuilding.   ::)


Please clarify which policy you think I violated:

Quote from: Yaroni
1) No racist posts. We all know what discussion is vs. blatant racism.
2) No gay or pornographic pictures on main boards.
3) No malicious personal bashing, especially on females, and others who can’t defend themselves.
4) No spamming commerical posts of events, web sites or products without approval.
5) No personal information of people family, etc.
6) No threads that are just meant to ruin the boards.

It would vary 20 000 to 100 000, I doubt anyone making the posedown at any pro show spends less the 10 000 for that show alone.

Exactly true.

I know someone who was on 1,500mg of test a week plus orals and other anabolics, but went on to win the super heavyweight class and overall title at the nationals a few years back. He's now competing at the Olympia level. Then I know someone else who takes 2,000mg of test a week, plus oral and other anabolics and he's a light heavyweight who has never even made the top 5 at a national qualifier!!!

figure that one out!!!

I think some guys take more than what they need.

Finally you post something you are an expert in.  See hanging around here and you finally get to talk about something you do a lot of.
