i wonder if people who spend thousands a months buying protein, pills, etc see better gains than people who dont?

If thats what they spend their money on, probably not. My biggest expense is on food quality food and lots of it. i believe this is by far the most important ingredient, I dont want to think what I spend, I am sure the missus could tell me she is always complaining about the food bill!

I dont go out and drink/party like I used to so I guess I am not really spending any more than I used to.

[jono]

i spend all my spare money on food and petrol basically

[samoht]

I spend to much money as it is, and if the miss doenst find it then im ok. ( i hope) lol

[muscle99]

I know the majority of my fitness costs are spent on foods high in protein and fresh vegetables.

[HarryB]

Whatever I have left after bills, food for the family and family related expenses. So basically f*ck all...

Brb buying another pair of $10 trainers.

[I Declare War]

All of my salary and half of my girlfriend's too. :pfft: :pfft:

Only food at the moment, no protein powder, no creatine, no gym fees ( working out from home ) so probably only an extra $50 a week on food over maintenance level.

[thatwaslight]

Some weeks I'd spend 400-500 all up

Cheap as $26/kg...... But I mix it with some other stuff @ $92/2.25kg cos it tastes like shite...... Some creatine in there plus a few vits.... n'stuff...

Oh & my bird nicks about a third....... :pfft:

Target bro... 3 tshirts for $20? I'm there!!!

I don't even buy supplements really. Every now and then I will buy some whey and some 1MR but for the most part I just eat.

As for gear I try and buy in bulk every few months to keep my costs down. Bodybuilding is the last thing I spend on.

I'm lucky to have an ok income with no kids/mortgage/family etc, and really the only thing I have to spend on is training at the moment (aside from geeky stuff)... so pretty much anything goes, not looking forward to that changing! :shifty:

'Cept doing a bit of travelling next year, so have had to reign back the spending a wee bit to save for that.

Hopefully on my travels can pick up some cheap gears to send back home though :grin:
