Using the Bill Phillip's book for my 1st three cycles and pyramiding up to 250mg test.
Getting gyno from my 2nd cycle of pyramiding to 250mg... then getting advice from misc.fitness.weights (something close to that) to get nolvadex. My Dr actually ended up prescribing it for me.
Paying $100 for a bottle of Brovel test to use during each of the above cycles.
I did venture to Nogales when I was on vacation and talked to a Dr about getting an RX. My girlfriend at the time was super nervous, so nothing was bought. I believe I found out how much Brovel really cost from Muscle Media 2000 or some newsletter and knew how much I was getting screwed, but who know how many hands it went through to get to the Midwest.
Going to Cancun and visiting the Ttyoko (sp?) store when I was there on vacation. Putting everything I bought in different sterile oil bottles (I believe it was Origins skincare, as they were green) in the hotel room. Then filtering everything when I got back home. On the same trip my friend was lazy and just put 2 bottles of T into his checked luggage.
On 2 of my trips to Cancun, 2 sources from Europe were busted. Was I a jinx?
Ordering from an eastern Europe country and seeing X on the list and thought, why not? BTW, the X was really good. It was also shipped to a friend's house and he was fine with it.
Getting SBC shipments in the cardboard and feeling like I was James Bond.
Making tren (as Genetic Freak said) from kits and feeling like a mad scientist.
