I can appreciate that, I was having a hard time getting my protein in when living in Britain. The meat prices there were astronomical and whey protein was fcuking up my energy flows.
Some experimentation will follow.
Does the OP go to the gym with someone? I think a gym partner is crucial. I find that when I work out on my own, gains are limited, I need a spotter to look out for when I go HAM on the iron.
That IS bulking up. Bulking up does not equal getting fat. You will gain some fat, but you won't GET fat. If you want to put on a large percentage of muscle, you will gain a little fat.
You want to put on 15lbs of lean muscle and not gain any fat? Good luck. You want to gain 15lbs of muscle and have to cut off 5lbs of fat? You can do that, and it won't take you a year.
If he can't afford chicken breast at $2 a pound, what kind of "quality" steroid is he going to be injecting into his ass? That's a scary thought.

I agree with you. However, Britain is expensive, I used to scuffle around to try and get the amount of chicken or beef that is practically being given away in America.
But yes, roids cost, a friend of mine used to use them but he had coin so that's how he was able to afford them.

Moma I go the gym alone, my friends go to other gyms like Virgin Active or Anytime Fitness. I go to a gym called The Gym, it's only $30 a month and open 24/7. Without spotters, I can't go too heavy on bench presses, so I just stick to dumbbell bench presses. I am living at a hostel in Camden right now, and I tend to avoid hostel kitchens. However, the good news is I'm actively looking for a cheap double room and once I find it I should be able to cook just fine. Chicken breasts are very expensive, around $8/kg, so I just stick to thighs. As for protein powder, I only have one scoop a day.

peanut butter is not expensive.you should be eating a few jars a week.they are very calorie dense.whey protein is a very good protein source,why only have one scoop a day? if your low on funds find a cheaper brand (THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!).find a wholesalers near to where you live and you can buy food in bulk (minced beef,chicken breasts,steaks,even rice,oats and cheap bread).and eggs (very cheap and a great source).fuck all the organic grass fed bollox,its not worth the money and makes no difference.stick with the basics and a lot of them.
post what you eat every day,your excercise regimen and how active you are and il help you out

Cut out the damn carbs for 6 months, get to 9-10%bf while retaining strength. then start a strength and hypertrophic routine. the gains made with aas will be that much more impressive.
He's skinny and weak. He needs to put on muscle. His body fat percent will probably go down if he is doing heavy compound lifts 3x a week as he should be. He will gain more muscle than he will body fat, so his bf%, if it does increase, wont be by much.
Don't mistake a bulking diet with getting fat. This is not the same thing. You will gain some fat, but you won't get fat. Especially since you will be putting on so much MUSCLE.
You really think someone who is 150lbs needs to get down to 9-10% bodyfat? Then he won't be skinny fat, he will just be skinny as fuck.
Here is a "fat guy" at 12%.
Or, you can diet yourself down to 9% body fat at 140lbs and then do steroids. Choice is yours. Obviously, you know which I would pick.
