Best way to keep my gear?

[Bevo]

Hey guy's I usually don't post just read, been a member for quite a while, well anyway my question is I usually can't get gear whenever I want it so when I can I got enough test for a few cycles only to do about one a year, what's the best way to keep say test enan or cyp? Is frig best or can it be kept somewhere else and last a while?

 

[Tough Old Man]

Pack it on ice and send it to me to store would be the best tip.

 

[Bevo]

I need it to last ME a while. I't hard enough as it is for me to get it, then just ship it off.

Age
Height
Weight
Bench
Squat
Dead lift
Years training naturally

What does that have to do with long term storage of gear?

So you are 19, trained 6 months naturally then, and only benched 205 naturally.....I knew it but thought I would give you the benefit of the doubt.

Well I don't want my parents to find it...

Well Bevo, as you can see I post here more than I should, and doing so I have learned to see patterns in how and what people post. I looked over all your threads and most of your posts and not once did I see you post your age or any information about your training or diet......that is what I call a huge red flag.

This information tells me you are either a teenager or a man who thinks drugs are the answer, well trianing and diet are 90% of what makes you fit and strong. If you had any training or diet threads I would not bother you but all you do is come here to post about "magic pills or liquids."

I am 34 years old, been training consistantly for about 3 years now (I know not long enough). I am 6'3" 230 lbs,( yes, I know I'm not naturally maxed out), I have naturally gained about 35 lbs over the last 2 years, well except for 2 1/2 years ago tried a monster combo stack when it was legal and a small dose test cycle 1 10CC bottle. But have not done anything since. Just recently came across some gear, bought a bit hopefully for the next few years if I can keep it that long

This is a post from earlier this year That I discussed on the board, I am about to start my cycle and was wondering what is the best way to run M-1-T (i have a bunch)with this, I know this is a low dose of test but it's all I got. So any last minute suggestions before I start on Monday? Looking for around an 8week cycle. Will this low dose of test be enough to fight the lathargy associated with M1T, that is what I'm concerned with.

Thanks for the info, so in summary does this sound about right?
8 week cycle test (ethanate)200
400mg
400mg
200mg
200mg
200mg
200mg
200mg
200mg

off for 2/3 weeks then nolva @ 40mg/d one week, then 20 mg/d for 2 weeks?

Keep in mind that at this time this is the only gear I have, and unless something new info changes it will be all I have for now. 04-01-2004, 03:06 PM

Well you did a steroid cycle 2 years ago here....so only one year of natural training....

 

[Bevo]

I just posted that I did a small cycle 2 1/2 years ago, I was just guestamating? on the time frame so being 4 months off now I'm lying, that cycle didn't do hardly anything just like people said it wouldn't, I understand you skeptisism? and appreciate it, I have read tons of your post's and tough's and respect all your advice, everything I have learned about working out and eating right and has actually worked I have learned from here. I have changed almost everything I do by learning from this board. I by far don't know everything and still learning, I appreciate the response, I learn more every day.

 

[Tough Old Man]

Just do 500 mgs of Test for 10 weeks. Make sure you have everything you need for PCT before you start.

 

[Bevo]

Thanks tough, I'm clear on the cycle portion and PCT, my question was as for my gear I am not going to use this cycle, I have extra for a later cycle, what is the best way to store it for a long time period obviously though before it expires, example frig or just in a cabinet?

In a dark cool place but not the fridge. Keep it out of sunlight.

cabinet, box, under the bed, chest of drawers... just where ever you normally would store something of value, just make sure the place is cool and dry

 

[Trouble]

Recommended storage life is a few months (8-12 weeks from the production date, for the hypogonadal patient target population), certainly no more than 3 months. A year is really pushing it for stability. Now, this is odd, because its not that expensive, comparatively speaking. So my antennae are still twitching...

Anyway, purchase it new for each cycle, and don't attempt to stretch your dollar, because you're stretching your odds even more.

I don't have easy access to purchase each cycle when I what to do it. Didn't realize it has such a short shelf life. So only a few months???

Not true, streroids will last for a year or more past their exp date....I would say 1.5+ before they begin to lose potency.

 

[BigPapaPump68]

I agree, they seem to lose potency after 18 months. Before that, and you will be fine.

Powders!

What about storing hormone powders in powder form and how long do they last in storage..?

I've had some cyp for a year and it still seems good to go. It still weighs 50 grams like the day i got it. I keep it sealed in one of those bags that you vacumn seal and in a cool dark place.

 

[The big guy]

Hey PT, hows it going, yea I kinda stockpiled a ton of shit.

 

[Trouble]

Sorry, but in dilute solution, these compounds will not be stable for a year or more. In powder form, kept dry and cool, several years would be a reasonable estimate of dessicated form shelf-life.

Problem with the mildly oxidized form is that the first step reaction products (called daughter products) are AR receptor competitive inhibitors.

You won't be able to assay their purity, unless you have access to a lab and the right analytical equipment. May I suggest thin layer chromatograpy for a quicky analysis, followed by HPLC, C18 small bore/15-ft column).

The exp date on my American made Test Enanthate was for about one year past production, and all the Mexican stuff is also about one year past production date. So if American Companies say it is about one year what evidence do you have to show they have mislabled all the bottles they sell?

 

[Trouble]

Single syringe dosage, 1-1.5 yrs, stored in the dark, below 30 dec C.

Mulitple uses from the same bottle over a years time, nah ah, contamination issues. *shrug* Y'all wanna push the envelope, go ahead.

Ok, so if a bottle is sealed it is ok but once used, it can become contaminated if you do not use if for a few more months?

 

[Trouble]

Correct. That's been my direct experience using dilute reagents, including cholesterol-derived reagents in a lipophylic carrier, using sterile technique (in a lab setting), wtih multiple injection uses of a vial with silicon plug, over the course of year or less.
