Moderator Posts: 7301 |
I will include a quick not on the socioeconomic status of Mexico. It is considered a developing nation (once referred to as the 3rd world). Its has a very primitive manufacturing industry. It also has limited native technology (unless it being utilized by a foreign company). The government is very aristocratic and nepotistic. The regulatory bureaucracy is highly corrupt. The weak regulations that are in place are hardly ever enforced due to the corruption within the regulatory agencies. This is why I do not use Mexican gear. This is why I do not recommend Mexican gear. If you want to take a chance (no matter how small) of getting an infection from a bunk batch, then be my guest and use it. I have too much respect for my body and I would hope you do too. It is a gamble I am not willing to take. | ||

That's what makes the "black market" so cool- people have the ability to choose what products they want to use. If they don't trust products from India, Mexico, Thailand, etc- they don't have to use them because as far as I know, sources don't force their customers to buy products from them. If a customer doesn't like what their source (or a particular country) has to offer, they can go elsewhere. [This message has been edited by Damian Borleone (edited April 09, 2001).] | ||

well its been about 6 mos since your last anti-mex post lol guess I should have known it was coming. 2thicks view is an older persons perspective, admitedly back many years ago it held credence, now its just not true. People take them, get big, and dont have any more problems than any other gear takers. Thats that. ------------------ For a good time click here: Search and Profiles (300Kleens Board)

2Thick, in the past you've recommended Denkall's gear to people. This confuses me because Denkall is a Mexican Company who contracts with a lab in Mexico to make Ultragan, Dbol & Decanandrolen. Care to explain? | ||

quote: I have to side with 2Thick on this one. European gear is still much more reliable than mexican. However, we all have price constraints and for each european vial of gear you could get 2 mexican ones. 3 years ago I wouldn't have touched mex.gear with a 100 ft pole, but things change. Ttokkyo(as an example) recognized the market value of cheap(compared to Europe) yet clean/safe gear, and they strived for this. For the older generation(22+ yars old) prices aren't really a BIG issue. But for the newbie gear user nowadays(16,17,18), PRICE is a serious issue. I don't doubt they but a lot of cheap ass Brovel products because of this. Godspeed | ||

Sounds a very racist comment, I'm sick and tired of people that put down Mexico, I always get real and good stuff from there, don't be assholes and hypocrites, I have read of many guy form this forum going to TJ and getting their gear. You guys should be thankful that gear in Mexico is legal and you don't need prescription to get them. | ||

TT is apparently cheaper than anything else, but if it's dirty or underdosed, nobody will use it and be proud to say so, no matter how cheap it gets. Would you suggest that TT is betting the success of their whole company on cheap, shitty products, while hoping that nobody tests them?

I fuckin love mexican gear...No hassle to get and with ttokkyo's high dosage shit , it's even better now!!....im just wondering why people get mad at the people who dislike mexican gear. | ||
Amateur Bodybuilder Posts: 162 |
Here I have to agree with Slopain. I have cycled on and off with serious breaks for 10years. During my time I have almost exclusively used Mex gear because it is easily accessable from where I live (Cali). I have never had a single problem with Mex gear. As long as you educate yourself, so you can make good choices, the results will be great. I can take a run across the border and get stuff I know is real, for a price I know is great. If I want to use Euro gear I gotta go through the ordering process and risk getting ripped or counterfeits. Given the choice I will take Mex gear anyday. I can assure you if you make educated choices, the results will absolutely be on a par with any Euro gear... After all what is the difference between Euro test, or Winny, ect and Mexican??? I think its a big mistake and fairly close minded to blanketly dismiss a group of products based on the status of a goverment and its bureaucracies. After all we take a chance every time we inject ourselves with AS or take that pill whatever it may be (T3, AS, Clen, ect, ect, ect) [This message has been edited by 1Banshee (edited April 09, 2001).] | ||

Once again 2Thick tries to sway the masses with his demonic views....heh heh heh....the products are only as good as the quality control under which they are produced... Got stock in Organon eh 2Thick....Nothing wrong with Mex products, and we take a chance with whatever we put into our bodies, whether tab or oil...tis the gamble of the game we play so well... Price says it all, and the gains speak for themselves. And to those you will say had an infection, how do we know of the conditions under which they injected...??? Just a thought fer ya midget.... heh heh heh...Game on...!!! BZR | ||

Bottom line-REPEAT CUSTOMERS.I have yet to see anyone who's used Ttokkyo's products claim they won't use them again.In fact,it's just the opposite.Bash it all you want,but repeat users tell the TRUE story... | ||

2Thick- some of you're quotes: 1) Hercules: I was just wondering about the quality of steroids available in Mexico? 2Thick: I personally don't like it too much. I would only use denkal myself.
2Thick: Ultragan made with the highest standards (relatively speaking).
2Thick: I don't like vet gear but Ultra is by far the best.
2Thick: Ultragan is the best choice. Thai are okay too.
2Thick: It is usually referred to as the best EQ.
2Thick: I would go with Denkall. If you can, go with Norma.
2Thick: If I had to choose the "best" Eq, then I would have to go with Ultragan. It is the cleanest of them all. 2Thick, it seems odd that you would be recomending and speaking so highly of Ultragan when it is #1) a mexican steroid, #2) a veterinary steroid and #3) a mexican veterinary steroid. If you are so anti- number's 1,2 & 3 why wouldn't you be suggesting that these people not use this product at all, or at least opt for the "safer" american or australian versions (fort dodge or ilium)? If your recomendation is based on your belief that Denkall is an Australian company (like you've previously stated), then I can understand why you'd suggest the use of their product(s)- but now that you know Denkall isn't an Australian company (btw the name is "Denkall Mexicana") what is your opinion of their products? And would you still use Denkall's steroids knowing that 5 out of the 7 steroids they offer are manufactured in Mexico and Colombia? | ||

Mexico is one friggin' country, so compare apples w/apples and dildos w/dildos. I challenge anybody to name ONE COUNTRY (1 country does not equal "UNION" either) that offers the selection/diversity and (for the most part) good pricing that Mexico has? Btw if Mexico's products were so shitty you wouldn't have HUGE distributors (legal & illegal) from the UK, Spain, Australia, Brazil(basically all of South America & Central America), Canada, etc showing interest in certain Mexican veterinary products. I've been "shopping" in Mexico for almost 10 years and as far as I'm concerned you can't beat the place. | ||
Guru Posts: 6307 |
No I dont work for any companies, I party down in mexico and made some friends there - I buy gear for me only and like to keep abreast of the situation down there - I only get defensive when people get offensive with things I know not to be true - how else am I supposed to get?? Put yourself in my shoes - you are 100% sure something is right, and for some ODD reason it seems there is always a few people that say no your wrong - like all the gains everyone makes is imagined lol then from there the will say bacteria - well nope lab tests and real life prove that wrong - then they say bioavalabilty and I laugh - then the say Well Mexico is a shit hole (which I take offense to) and is uncapable of making quality anything. So when you see me getting "defensive" just relize I have been here for years and every so often this comes up its nothing new. Mr 2Thick is a stand up guy, I know this - I just cant understand why he is so liberal in political situations (see the chat board for his views - although he doesnt like to be labeled he identifies somewhat with marxist views I believe thats what he said dont quote me though) anyways and then he comes and sounds all racist or nationalist or whatever saying these people are no capable of making quality products. I see a conflict there. damn good searching skills db.. heh heh ------------------ For a good time click here: Search and Profiles (300Kleens Board)

i am with 2Thick here. The standards they use in Mexico are not the US or European standards. But Slopain, we already had such a discussion, remember? I am not saying do not use it, but to look at it the right way. So yes, 2Thick is RIGHT. ------------------ Don't look back, life is too short | ||
Guru Posts: 6307 |
Yes Jeff I do recall that discussion, I recall all of these discussions they have happened numerous times over the past 2 years. Actually Mex, USA, Europe all do have the same standards so that argument is not valid - you should be arguing saying that the difference is between HUMAN and VET drugs - thats your argument (your welcome) and to that I say most of the vet copanies know exactly who they market too (North American Bodybuilders) knowing this they create the products to Human standards although they are licensed vet - why? Quicker and cheaper to bring to the market. So this lets us use Equipoise at 200mg/ml while all your human companies are still at 50mg/ml. The deca at 300mg/ml. AFFORDABLE ANAVAR. Economical sustanons and testosterones. Anyways I relize people will always have their particuliar preference for whatever reason and I'm ok with this - just choose your words tactifully when debating - you can say you prefer a certain genre of AAS and the reasons why, but thye have to be valid. I use both human and vet drugs - I use whatever suites my needs best. I relize they both work well and they both have there place (in my glutes!!! ) ------------------ For a good time click here: Search and Profiles (300Kleens Board)

Just my .02, the majority of gear I get comes from Mexico - my source gets it easier there than anywhere else. And after 4 cycles and in the midst of my 5th currently, I've had no problems....unless you consider being too strong for your gym a problem! I do notice the dosages vary in the bottles though, sometimes short and sometimes a little more. ------------------ | ||

Huckleberry has this right. 2Thick has every right to bash whomever he likes and he exercises that right quite often and quite often he is dead wrong, but that doesn't stop him, nor should it. Damian, Slopain and others trumpet the advantages of Mexican gear whenever someone dares speak against it. But like Huck says this battle will be determined like all the rest in a capitalist free market. These products will flourish or fade and a post on this or any board will not determine their success. THE MARKETPLACE WILL DECIDE. Anyone who doubts this has not been paying attention. ------------------ | ||

Here we go again... When was the last time you've inspected Tornel or Ttokkyo labs? My guess is that you haven't. I would damn near call you a racist as you've obviously pigeonholed the entire Mexican race as primitive. You need to educate yourself better before laying this blanket of opinion. ------------------ | ||

quote: Those are some really great quotes. They make me proud You are pulling at strings, boy. When only given a diphyletic choice I opted for the superior product. The best product in that was Denkall. EQ is hardly ever made outside of Latin America so if a person wants to use EQ then I will recommend Ultragan. I disagree with use of Mexican products in general. There are always exceptions to a rule and there always will be. Utilizing three examples does not exhibit a pattern. I am sure you have gotten your lips off of Ttokkyo's ass for a minute and said another company was worth using, but that doesn't stop making you LOVE Ttokkyo unconditionally, does it? I didn't think so. Stop trying to make things up without proof. | ||

quote: You obviously know nothing about the current status of Mexico and the Mexican pharmaceutical market. Before you make a judgement, and a blanket judgement at that, get your facts straight. Ttokkyo doesn't just make products for the veterinary market. They are also a subcontractor for some of the major pharmaceutical companies of the world such as Smith-Kline Beecham and Novartis. Therefore, they have to follow their rules of manufacturing to keep their agreement. This has nothing to do with Mexico being a "dirty" place. Plus, Ttokkyo obviously knows where their anabolic market is... if they sold dirty, underdosed gear, then they would lose their customers. Can you say "Brovel"? Hardly anyone buys their stuff anymore due to old reputation. This is one thread that the mysterious hackers should delete. It obviously has no merit since it was started by someone with no knowledge on the topic. ------------------ | ||

quote: Now you are just hurting my feelings Okay, I will play along..... What stops the manufacturers from cutting corners that may not make the gear "dirty" but may make it more diluted and less effective?

That means that I wouldn't take the chance. That means that it is my opinion and only a fascist would try to silence it. A true liberalist would state their opinion and let the readers decide.

It's almost offensive the degree to which this thread has attracted contributors. Apparently, I am just as fool hardy so I might as well throw in my measly $.02. The topic in question is quite obviously opinionated conjecture based upon the personal life experiences of one person and bares little on the reality of present day issues. I will agree that Brovel and Tornel acquired a reputation which did them little justice within it's consumer base. As a result people began to loath and avoid Mexican pharmacuticals. However, with the rise of Ttokkyo and established companies like Deknall times have changed. European pharmaceuticals are no longer the only viable options for competative athletes. TTOKKYO isn't going to repeat the sins of its predecessors. Ulter's point quite clearly illustrates the single underlieing reality behind all this debate. The consumers will determine the merits of any company's products! ------------------ | ||

As a quick note to the geniuses that use the "nobody has complained about Mex gear yet" excuse, should know that steroid users on the Internet make up only about 1%-5% of all steroid users. Also people on the net are more educated than the average user. So just because 300 people on this site have not had this problem does not mean it doesn't exist. | ||
