[muscleitis]

Im about $500 for a basic 10 week run

 

[big in vegas]

I've never paid attention, but that seems about right for me too

 

[dorian123]

just over 600

 

[big in vegas]

I know one thing, the next one is going to be expensive and long lol

 

[joe_1165]

Tren a , test p , EQ , anavar , clen , eca, arimidex , nolvadex , HCG , anadrol all cost me around 450$ and was thinking to add masteron also but can't find it at the moment. planing to run this cycle for 16 weeks but what i got so far is enough for 12

 

[nuknuk]

would hate to know. Off season isnt bad at all, but come contest prep, I know Im throwing out some cash on it.

Nope that is what it costs to try to go pro, just the way it is Presser. You would probably really shit if you knew what the top pro men were spending. Mind you that is only cycle cost, you also have food, posing suits, airfare, entry fees, tanning, etc. It gets very expensive very fast, if we didn't think that I had what it took there is no way in hell Oldschool or myself would be ok with spending this kind of money trust me on that!

Oldschool had a lot of pro bb friends in the late 90s, one friend in particular who won may pro shows and top 3 in the Olympia spent over 15 grand just to do the Olympia that year and this was back in the 90s.

My first run will be ending up at about $300. I bought everything every few pay periods and will pick up test after my first oh cycle. It was easier like this rather than everything at once.

I'm sure your products are substantially more involved than a little Masteron and a little Winstrol. Personally I don't find the cost that exaggerated given the level you are competing at. Really what is the point of pinching pennies at that level. Say you spend half of that and come in second, you just pissed $3500 away by trying to skimp. If I were in your shoes I would do exactly what you are doing. After seeing you at Nationals I would do EVERY LITTLE THING I was told regardless of cost. You have the potential to be the best in the world in my opinion. No one can argue that you have the genetics and the drive. Now you have the guidance. Last thing is to foot the bill.

 

[The Dude]

Off season for me isn't too much. Maybe $2000 a year. Precontest.... Honestly I don't want to think about it. I will cross that bridge next year.

Great point.

Thanks Dude. Yup you can just do the math, I know for a fact that out of the 15K to get ready for the Olympia that year, 8 K was on growth alone. I have done 3 shows, the first one didn't cost so much as I didn't have to pay for a lot of my stuff, second one was last year and it cost quite a bit, then The Nationals which cost even more and now this year the cost is the greatest. It is what it is and I think it's good for people to be aware of the high cost of competing especially at higher levels. The top pro men and women expect to spend this type of money, sometimes it seems downright crazy but we will be paying off Oldschool's student loans until we are dead and now he gets to do what he loves to do, we are doing the same for me which he has to point out to make me feel better because we squeek by a lot of times. I love bodybuilding, he supports me, we make it work, that's it.

In this country its a matter of fact that money has no real value. The only value it carries is what you give it. If it helps you achieve your dreams and those of your loved ones, then it's money well spent.
I'll say it again, you aren't like most of us. This is a hobby for most, you have the potential to be a champion.... Huge difference!

I actually do hun, which is precisely the reason I was surprised. However i guess it comes down to who you know also, I wasnt trrying to be disrespectful either, i was just very surprised you pay that much. I know a few guys who didnt pay anything near that for 18 weeks of gear. Sorry , again i wasnt trying to be an asshole, and didnt expect you to take it the wrong way. but thats alot of money for 18 weeks of gear with or without HGH.

 

[Jenn]

No offense taken at all Presser, no worries. I'm just sharing my cost is all, if people pay less then that is great. For me it comes down to quality as well which drives the cost way up but it is one less worry for me during prep.
