Obviously theres a ton of variability, but on average, whats a typical decent first cycle (including PCT) cost?
Also are there any reputable books about steroids available that are based on sound research and go over cycles, usage, prevention of side effects etc?
Thanks.
Dan Duchaine’s “Underground Steroid Handbook II”. This little book is a great reference for anything that has to do with anabolics.
You need to figure that out for yourself. A little legwork on your part builds character.
Lots of good articles here from Cy Willson and Bill Roberts. Also some good articles at mesomorphosis also some books there.
Cost is of course dependent on what you take. Ancillaries can actually end up costing more than the gear itself.
If you were to acquire say 2 10ml vials of Test E or C and ran 500mg’s for 10 weeks most would consider that a decent first cycle.
Depending on whether you chose to run either proviron, nolva or a-dex throughout the cycle the costs could be start adding up fast. Clearly you’d want to have at least nolva on hand for a month of PCT.
Ancillary wise unless you order in bulk the research chemicals seem to be slightly cheaper than pills.
In terms of actual $USD again the variance will depend a lot of what/who your sources are.
Just looking for a ballpark…
$200? $500?, $1000?
Im just curious. I really have no desire to use at this point.

Sooo, what was the point?
Its impossible to answer since the price not consistent anywhere based on availability.
If you brew your own and have good reliable contacts, probably less than $300.00.
If you do the internet/mail route, I would assume probably close to $500-$750.
If you listen to some fool at the gym or a scammer sending you a PM from seeing this post, probably anywhere for $750 to $1500.
It’s like any illegal hobby (rec drugs, hookers, etc.)- you kind of get the “white-boy” price at first- until you meet good folks who know good folks. However, the longer you do this and the more like-minded folks you meet, you will probably find that you will get better and cheaper stuff over time. It also helps if you stockpile (even when your next cycle is a ways off) when you run across a decent price or something exotic that is normally hard to come by.
2- 10ml bottles of test enan. 52.50
2 boxes of 20mg Nolv. 32.00

My right-around-the-corner first cycle is pretty similar but my laundry list also included sharps, syringes, mesterolone, and 2 x 5 lbs of whey.
$583.59: give or take 4 dollars.
