I certainly can understand how and why you would be concerned. You never know who's on the other side of the keyboard. Could be an agent/investigator of some kind, although I would hope they would have better things to do with their time and resources. Or, equally bad, some 14 year old who got ahold of his daddy's credit card, nobody would want that on their conscience.
On the other hand, there is alot of info here and on other boards about gear that is over or under dosed, contaminated with metals, or just plain faked. Even if you can locate a source that claims the items you are getting are say from Organon, how do you know it's not a fake unless you ask someone with experience ? I myself have spent a lot of time on here just reading without posting. I figure that most of the dumb questions I would ask have probably been answered already. At this point, I'm 2 1/2 years back lifting after a 6 year layoff. At almost 44 years old it's just not the same. Even though my diet is very clean, other than 1 cheat meal a weak, body fat is tough to shed. My strength and size gains have been ok, but definitely not what they used to be. And I'm working almost twice as hard as before (6 days in the gym per wk., 2hrs per including and hr of cardio split 30 before and 30 to 40 after lifting). But I will take a few extra days if I start to feel over-trained. All that being said, I'd like to do a cycle. I believe that I've settled on 12 wks. of either Sust at 500mg + 250 Deca or maybe Test E instead of the Sust. But I'm concerned about what I'll be injecting into my body. Only in as much as it's quality human grade stuff that can be gotten without being flagged or attracting the attention of big-brother. If pharm grade is a few bucks more so-be-it. If a reliable source could be located, I'd be their customer for as long as I continue my little science experiment. But getting to that point may require some direction. The rules here say that PM's and email questions are ok (at least that's how I read it), is that not the case ? If, let's say, some resources have been located, can a PM to a mod with questions like: I've found this, that , and the other from here, is it trustworthy ? Is that ok to ask ? This comes up at a good time, because that's pretty much where I'm at. Looking.
