Maybe it's an old wives tale, but I have always heard that shaking a bottle of test is a fast-and-loose way to examine its legitimacy.

I have always assumed that shaking it violently allows tiny air pockets to adhere to the crystalline base of testosterone, and shows you whether it actually has a compound mixed with the oil.

Now, this good be COMPLETE bullshit and have no basis in reality at all.

But I would like to hear y'alls' thoughts on this, and maybe propose an alternative way; or at least tell me that I'm an idiot for shaking my test bottles for the last ten years.

I would say if you’re shaking vials of gear… you need a better source. I don’t say that being a dick at all.

I’ve been in the game a while and I’ve never heard that. Doesn’t mean its not true… I highly doubt it is.

However!!! If you would like some gear you DO NOT have to shake, lol. Send me a message and I’ll square you away.

Never heard of shaking the bottle of gear and I think you are confused with moonshine . There are shops around here that send their gear out for testing and also shops that always have members post up great bloods . Shaking isn’t going to do shit , not going to hurt it but also won’t tell you anything so keep on shaking but do some research

inject it directly into your left testicle. if it turns black and falls off then it is legit.

Now I've never heard of this..
But I remember for the longest time people were doing the freezer test trying to intentionally crash their gear...🤣
I mean it works sometimes, but I remember seeing a lot of posts of people needing help to bring it back after it crashed. 🤣

I’ve had TNE crash at room temp and have tried to crash test in the freezer with no luck.
IDK
Shop from a known source and do legit blood work and you’ll get an idea, kinda…

Right?!?! Once upon a time some people would slam sources because they tried the supposed freezer test, and if it didn't work, they would accuse the source for selling bunk or underdosed product. Like that method carried any significant weight!

All babies were taken to the edge of the cliff. It was then we determined if this baby was going to grow big and strong enough to defend Sparta. The weak were discarded.

I've always heard to use the freezer test. Put any suspended hormone I'm freezer for a couple hours and it'll"clot" looks like broken gear. Don't know how accurate or dependable it is, if at all.

Its unreliable, its a crude method that could work at times but some hormones are more sensitive than others, so its not a real good indicator. Just like roid-tests field strips, doesn't always work.

As we all know, bloods should be our go to, and lab testing if someone has the time and funds.

I knew by your post that you weren't buying into the whole accuracy. But I just wanted to clarify that for other readers.
But sometimes people can't get blood for whatever reasons, and sending it away to a lab is not even an option, so a freezer test and a field strip may be their only measure. Better than nothing I suppose, right?!?!

Absolutely. I'm not sure I have faith in anything except results anymore. Even Jano I am suspect of these days. Too much money changing hands between forum administrators and the UGL flavor of the week on this board or that board. I'm not finger pointing at any specific forum mind you just saying money can corrupt even the best intending people. So, simply pick a UGL that I happened to pick however that may be at that time, and if they treat me right and I get results there's no lab results. Okay, I'm afraid of heights and this soapbox is pretty high so I'm going to get down now, LOL

I knew exactly what you mean, and "this or that" forum is a metaphor, I get it.. At the end of the day, we will have to ultimately just lay and pray and hope that we get the products that we pay for. Its always going to be a crap shot, even sources get their asses scammed.. The whole black market is exactly what it is, the black market.. I ordered part for my truck from a supposedly reputable distributor, parts didn't fit, and the return policy couldn't be honored because I technically placed it on my truck, so that falls into a bracket of my truck wearing it at one point as an install, it was a dry fit too, I just matched it up and said "nope".. So what's the point of a 30 day money back guarantee? haha.. ordering anything online sucks! :ROFLMAO:

I was watching Nick Trigili being interviewed on synthol and he was saying how amazing it is how many UGL's are out there and what (to use a phrase you just used) a crap shoot it is. The sources I have now all have proven to me via muscle growth and mood elevation (as I'm on TRT because of years of cruising and blasting) but after 13 years of black market AAS buying, I've had my share of under dosed over priced, poor chemistry (6% BA or something absurd due to unexplainable extreme PIP) yada, yada, yada....
I have one source that I've had for 10 years but the other guys worth a shit either go bunk or get popped by LE.
No insurance makes the dependence on underground labs par for my course. I just either bulk order when a good UGL enters my life or when I find a dependable raw supplier I'll just make 100 mls at a time. But 100mls really doesn't last too long because I have a habit of blasting a few times a year. Anyway, we do the best we can right? (y)
BTW, PM'd you.

Well I'll tell you what, Nick is not lying.. it comes down to a crap shoot anymore, and for people that are loyal to their suppliers, that's great, for both sides, but even that supplier is at the mercy of someone.
As you already know, so many unpredictabilities. How many times have we seen a grade A source out of nowhere produce a bad batch of test E, and if you pay attention you'll notice several other sources follow suit. From there it's pretty easy to figure out or speculate, the connections or even the possibility of using the same outsource.
When those new sources go to market, and they are on fire, there's that small window of opportunity to grab some potent products. 🤣 Because we've seen history repeat itself.
Each and every single source has their moments, like you said from comfortable product, and even unbearable product.
But what separates them, is accountability, owning it. There's quite a few solids out there that still operate within that honor code.
But back to Nick, man he's right though because in South America, there is a shit ton, and including Europe, and that's not including all of the sources by invite only.
It's no different than a restaurant, it can be your go-to place that you brag about, and then one day there's a hairball in your sandwich. You got yourself a good formula there if you squeeze your own juice. Lots of guys use this route, some going on 15 years, and they only get their exotics when needed. But in my opinion, some of the exotics are just overhyped. Basic Staples win each time. 👍👍👍
