Golden age of aas

[Jin23]

I would say we are in the golden age off aas and bodybuildingom related supplements and not vice versa as some other thread was trying to point to.

Quality source's popping up left and right ... Everybody testing their gear.

Pharma meds available at cheap prices, chinese bulk shippers offering everything you'd ever consider needing and more at stupidly low prices with shipping that doesn't get seized ...

Super meticulous brewers of quality aas that test everything they make and independent reviewers confirming those results ...

Quality GH at the lowest price point ever ...

List goes on. And all of this over clear net mind you. We are in the golden age, appreciate it fellas. It has never been this easy getting quality gear. And sources have never been this professional and trustworthy. Almost feeling like I'll jinx it by writing this.

DO y'all remember how it was 10 or so years back? Ordering from some stupid ass site like napsgear or something, having zero to no comms and hopping that you'll get some untested, unknown para pharma or what not gear in 2 to 4 weeks time ...

As a guy whose been around the online scene for 23 years now (since i was 14!) i agree.

The industry is the most robust its ever been by far. UGLs are conducting themselves like real pharma companies. Top quality GH for prices nobody would've believed 20 years ago is now plentiful. Testing is happening way more than it used to. Sources are held more accountable to their customers. Scamming is honestly far less than it was. Once exotic steroids that were only myths are now common place.

The lowest point for the industry that i was around to witness was Operation Raw Deal. That apocalyptic event dealt a serious blow to the established players in the industry, but like a wildfire devastating a forest, what followed was a more robust and diverse rebirth of the industry.

For those bros not around for Operation Raw Deal (happened in 2007) i will give you the 411 stolen from an article that throws down the major points:

“In a four-day series of daylight raids that ended Sunday, Drug Enforcement Administration agents shut down 26 underground steroid labs and made more than 50 arrests across the country, capping what agents are calling the largest performance-enhancing drug crackdown in U.S. history. The DEA also has identified 37 Chinese factories that purportedly supplied the raw materials for the labs, a DEA spokesman told ESPN.

The raids capped an 18-month probe that has netted 124 arrests in 27 states and closed 56 labs. The agency also seized $6.5 million and 532 pounds of raw steroid powder -- 308 pounds of it in the past week. Most of the raids took place in quiet suburban neighborhoods.

The investigation also focused on message boards where advice is traded about obtaining raw materials, as well as on the Web sites that help the labs sell finished products to the public. Hundreds of thousands of e-mails were intercepted, according to Dan Simmons, a San Diego-based special agent for the DEA. Simmons said that no professional athletes have been implicated so far but that the e-mails are being compiled into a massive database of names and are being analyzed.

"I don't think we even know what we have yet," he said. "There's no part of the country that wasn't impacted by this."

Federal authorities in Rhode Island said no professional athletes were directly involved in the investigation.

The crackdown, dubbed "Raw Deal," grew out of a 2005 operation targeting eight Mexican labs that were responsible for 80 percent of America's underground steroid trade. Several large Chinese factories had been supplying the Mexican labs. When the Mexican labs were closed in what came to be known as "Operation Gear Grinder," those Chinese factories redirected their pipeline to the U.S.

Drug agents in Mexico, Belgium, Germany, Denmark and Thailand cooperated in the Raw Deal probe, setting up shell companies to order the raw materials. They also focused on the makers of kits that help underground drugmakers turn raw materials into sellable drugs.”

10 years ago I didn’t even think about AAS, but 6 years ago when I started it was some hit or miss like thing, you either have luck and it is was the vial says or its just plain salad oil.

It's a lot better now for sure. Same for china sources - back then (6 years ago) it was totally random if the product you received was the product you ordered.

Yes i remember. Everyone was smaller. But i get in trouble at meso remembering. So i agree it is a good time to be on gear.

You guys are playing with fire talking up china in the open. Msg wont like it. What pisses me off is that gear is everywhere. Better quality and testing. But not everyone can get it. Im in australia and china are the best at our customs. The rest have given up. Usa and europe has it easy so much selection for premade. I read it and get envious.

I fucking hated western union. Dumb kids at the counter always fucking up the receiver names. CIM was always nice.

 

[Clyde]

20+ years ago......

Was it Asia Pharma that you could order gear online? It was going to shit by the time i got out.

hushmail with manually encription via PGP
western union to middle eastern countries
Pakistani sustanon
Omnadren test blend
Anyone remember SBC (sore butt cheeks), a small private seller? I got some "super viagra plus" from him as a free sample one time. Popped one, one evening for a planned fuck session, and fuck me, thought I was gonna die a few hr later before even having sex. Turns out you had to quarter that shit up as a MAX dosage. Smaller for a normal dose. lol

Fuck I just can't remember much more other than the underground bb forums, not the same one around today. I recall another, I think it was called the meso forums?

Seems you had to get known on the forums to get a decent domestic source back then. It was 95% pharmaceutical, both real and fake back then. No lab testing or blood work. It either worked by feels, or it was bunk with who knows what in the ampules. Vet gear was available in vials, but I always steered clear.

Now I feel like a kid in candy store compared to back then. Everything imaginable available. Pisses me off I'm just to old now to do more than dabble a bit with some of the "exotic" compounds I read about back then, but couldn't get.

 

[AlwaysHungry]

From that point of view I agree.
But from another point of view no golden age was when you could walk to the pharmacy and buy for cheap ampules of testosterone nandrolone methenolone.
Was for cheap too no more than 3.5 eur per ampule and that was at its highest price.
You could buy dbol drol for cheap pharma grade just a walk in a local pharmacy.
You could even get vet grade equipoise and winstrol if you did go to the right vet pharmacy.

While in parallel you could source a good ugl online maybe a bit overpriced but good juice local and online, pro-hormones where everywhere at all supplements stores both local and online.

 

[lukiss96]

Overall, I agree.

I'm just happy for Europe that we finally have a great selection.

 

[1tank1]

It's not the golden era for anyone living in UK coz the import laws fucked the supply chain here and forced a lot of us to start looking at only domestic ugls here that we previously would not have even considered using when it was legal to have gear shipped into UK.

Pharma grade is almost extinct here now and it's great that ugls are doing more testing but i would prefer it if things went back to how they used be in UK and pharma supplies became readily available again.

EU has got the best sources for UGL and Pharma IMO.

Can't really sympathize there with ya. UK leaving the eu was a bad omen for the eu and a bad idea in general. I really wish uk would have stayed in the eu. But your problems with aas are definitely not a problem of the aas market by it self, but rather an isolated problem of your country's current situation ... I hope one day uk can join back the eu.

it would be very surprising news to me, to hear any claim that the UK steroid market is suffering from brexit. anything with a valid VAT declaration goes through without even being checked. I've just had a very large box of ancillaries arrive that rattled like pills and wouldn't have fooled anyone if they x-rayed or even opened it and it received zero customs checks. the 2 UK domestic labs i regularly use aren't struggling with supply and turn over a lot of units per year. The only supply blip since brexit was the DHT worldwide shortage we had last year?

The people voted for Brexit though. I don't think they want to rejoin the EU, even if their leadership probably does, and has actively sabotaged the whole thing.

 

[jackmeoff1]

I couldn’t agree more. Been using AAS myself since 07. But I’m close to people who were in it since the 70’s. This is easily the best time in history for black market everything, not just steroids.

OPSEC on the other hand is frightening these days! LE has been lax for many years now but soon as they get a hard on for AAS lots of people are gonna be deer in headlights.

Wasn't it really close to 50/50 though? And lots of people who voted for brexit later regreted it, saying they were fooled or something? And weren't mostly the conservatives and older gens who voted for brexit?

The UK doesn't have a problem with AAS supply. It's never been easier to get gear here. No problem ordering international and thriving domestic ugl scene.
