Guy sounds like a douche and an idiot who likes wasting that much money. Before I started deca (my first gear I ever did) I never worked out, much. Deca made me work every day and motivated to. You're friend must got fake gear or be a lazy dick.
he was just a lazy dick.their is just no way around it. I used the same gear and it works. he would eat like shit and take weeks off from the gym. total waste.
