this lifestyle can definetely drain your wallet fast but it can be done on a budget
I worry about guys who call this "their life." Not you, of course, I know that's not what you're saying. But keep your priorities in life. Lifting - bbing - should be a positive addition to your life, not a preoccupation. If doing what you're doing is breaking the bank, you shouldn't be doing it.
No one is perfect, do what you can to make yourself as happy and healthy as possible. Yeah, that sounds good.
also, invest your money G!! I promise you there are ways to turn $1000 into $10,000 if you invest smartly. then you get older and don't have to worry jackshite about protein powder prices
Dude I have been poor all week, I know the feeling. I bought some crappy protein, to try it out and it's awful! I am stuck with it for another two weeks or so.
Being a poor college student is lame, especially in NY where everything is a rip-off. I have to save up for cycles, thank God it's the holidays. All of my X-mas money is going straight into the juice fund!
On the first day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
A shitload of Tbol...
One of the best investments i have ever made!http://foodsaver.jardendirect.com/
Cook your meals before hand & Vaccum pack them ,all you do is open and heat.
You gotta buy within your means. I use the basic supps. Nothing fancy. nothing bogus and nothing that I don't really need. I use a multi-v, protein powder (10lbs for $50 from ON), A PW shake (10lbs of N Large), creatine (off cycle) and Udo's. I also get a protien blend for bedtime. I'll spring for r-ALA just for PW if I got the cash. I'll also use glutamine peptides from the AF Store to use during PCT. While on cycle I also use Tyler Tabs if using 17 AA's. I work in a restaurant so I got the hook up with grilled chicken. Beyond that I eat lots of egg-whites which are pretty cheap. Brown rice, pumpernickel bread and sweet potatoes don't kill me on funds. It's the gear that kills ya. More than that, it's the Anti-E's and shit that get ya. So yeah that's me.
Sorry - but how many people actually use vitamins and all the other supps, besides protein.
In my opinion they are not worth it, stick to food, AS, protein, and a multi/joint pill if you need it. Anything else you don't really need, the AS does enough.
