Same Lab for all compounds of a cycle?

How important is it to any of you to be sure that you are running all compounds of a cycle made up of products from the same lab?

I am considering this in an attempt to determine the quality of lab gear by controlling variables.

Does it matter?

I think if you want to limit variables, you have to consider running minimal compounds regardless of what lsb its from. Its hard to distinguish, for me anyway, what is doing what when there is 2 or 3 oils with 1 or 2 orals.

I run all same lab each cycle. From there, I'll judge it. Well on **** gear, I gained 20 solid lbs and felt great. But on xxxx gear, I only gained 12lbs and felt just ok. Try and control what you can i.e. Food, water, supplements, gym regimen. You can't control the gear but you can control yourself.

I don't think it matters if you have been using say two labs and trust them both. One lab may not have everything you're looking for. Right now I stick with one lab for the most part though.

I use a smorgasbord of our labs but I've ran the gear separate so I know it's all kickass. Never had any issues with quality gear from any labs that I've tried on our board.

I trust it all for sure. I was mostly looking to run labs in a way to give honest detailed feedback is all.

running one compound at a time will be best for a good review, when running compounds it makes a lot more variables.
sticking with the same brand for a cycle is a good idea either way.

It doesn't matter as long as everything is dosed accurately. Now if you want to evaluate a certain compound that is different. When trying new things I always add them onto a known base. So I will add it in during a cycle when my gains have stalled and everything is pretty much stagnant. Or I will add them in during a cycle of 400mg test only as an example. Now to test the lab well the overall cycle results is most important. I would recommend adding things in at different times during your cycle. Some guys can be backwards with things like one guy I know who wanted to test 2 types of dbol so ran dbol a for 3 weeks then dbol b for the last 3 weeks (6 weeks total). I had to explain to him most of the gains are water and in the first 2-3 weeks so it's unfair on the 2nd dbol. In a situation llike that it would be best to use dbol a for 3 weeks then have at least 6 weeks off and then try dbol b.
