How often have you heard at work ‘safety is our number one priority!’ What a load of BS, do you know what trumps Safety in any industry? Quality! Simply put Quality is Safety on steroids.
Think about it, if a product is made with piss poor quality then it poses a massive safety risk & can cripple a business.
For example: Say a company made poor quality airbags that were installed in half a million Australian cars that randomly exploded, killing dozens of people & injuring hundreds more. Making poor quality products like that would bring a business to its knees (google Takata recall )
I guess my point here is that quality is extremely important in any industry. When it comes to Australian Under Ground Labs (UGL’s) the quality of their products will make/break their brand & reputation.
With regards to steroid quality there are 3 main factors that underline if the product is ‘good quality’-
- The Steroid has been produced & stored in a way that makes it safe for a human administration (i.e.- made in a sterile environment with sterile utensils & quality raw materials. Contained in clean/sterile vials/containers & stored in a clean environment)
- The Steroid is the correct compound
- The Steroid is the correct dosage
Now there are plenty of Gym-Bros that will claim they can tell the quality of a steroids just from looking at it
Lets be real here, if you want to know your steroids are high quality in Australia you have a few methods at hand. Not all methods are equal though so for simplicity I’ve listed them from most effective to shit-house
Checking the Quality of your Steroids in Australia-
1- Blood Work
Ok so I’m going to start this one by pointing out that blood work is extremely important & some what complicated. Its for this reason that I’m only breezing over it here & intend to do many detailed articles on it in the near future.
In the context of steroid quality users will typically have their blood work taken on cycle & expect to see changes in certain markers compared to their baseline blood work taken pre-cycle-
- Total & Free Testosterone- Should be elevated when running high Testosterone
- LH & FSH – Should be VERY low or 0 when running high levels of androgens due to being suppressed
- Estrogen – Should be elevated with running compounds that aromitise
2- Third Party Reviews
How awesome is the internet? You can pretty much find any type of forum where people are united by a common interest.
The largest forum for steroids in Australia is the BS Board. This amazing community provides a great place for steroid users & enthusiast to come together and discuss anything steroid /PED related.
3- At home steroid testing kits
For a few hundred dollars you can get your own at home steroid testing kit.
On face value these testing kits look like the holy grail for quality testing, these cheap test are very accurate.
4– Feelings & Side Effects
Users who have had decades of experience will often gauge the quality of a product from how they are feeling when running said compound. Whilst I can agree that some of these experienced users can gauge a compound it’s not very scientific and for the most part not very reliable.
Furthermore when some gym-bros see people doing this they get a big head and proceed to exert confidence that they can do the same…….
Also we see steroid users trying to gauge the quality of their steroids based on if side effects are present (such as water retention, pumps, sweating, sleeping disturbances etc). What you need to understand here is that you can run the exact same cycle twice where the first time you have side effects and the second time you don’t. Our bodies are very complex and it’s not as simple as A + B = C. Hence why gauging the quality of steroids based on ‘sides’ is shitty at best.
