T Bullets.

By Extreme Nutrition.

I was lucky enough to be asked to trial T Bullets and review them at www.musclechat.co.uk

Several other forum members were trying then at the time and after a lil gentle goading (lol boys will be boys) we decided to have a little competition and see who could make the biggest changes to theyre bods in a month..

Before and after pictures had to be posted and were judged by Doug Black owner of Extreme Nutrition and his good lady Jo Fairbairn a former Miss Figure UK..

I made some impressive changes in that month, but unlike everyone else who` bulked, I chose to lose weight ie lose  bodyfat making muscle gains seem more prominent. It worked a treat..

I won, well i got a draw, unfortunately the challenge wasnt to look the best at the end of it, just on the change...

But then thats what real trainings all about, its where you come from, not just where you end up...I`ve  tried T Bullets a few times now and have reached a few conclusions from these small cycles and similar ones from friends.

The T Bullet challenge was an unapologetic wild ride, full of bullshit and ballyhoo, but shows how we live training, the highs and lows, the realities of what to expect...

T Bullets are legal supplements which are called Pro Steroids(they`re also called Pro Hormones) I think the former is more accurate as these compounds are years ahead of the original PH`s from 10 years back in strength and size gains. You know the ones, at the time athletes sponsored by supplement companies who made protein powders and legal prohormones claimed that they failed drug tests because of cross contamination. These claims were unfounded and disproved as batches of the protein powders supplied to said athletes were kept as proof by the supps companies. the athletes were taking nandrolone which is the compound that the PH`s were based on. They didnt take the legal PH`s cos they were crap. They were legal because of a loophole in the law, which gets closed everytime a supplement company find a way of tweaking the chemical structure of a compound and finding that loophole.. The only supplements that get banned tend to be the ones that work. (even if its just on a statistical level) This however is not the case with T Bullets as theyre simply not on the banned list. (news flash T Bullets are likely to be banned in 2012 as they will be on THE list soon, basically superdrol is listed but not under its real chemical name. Extreme Nutrition have another product in the pipeline already) The legal compounds around these days are not crap, theyre not a first step into taking steroids, they are taking steroids and you cant claim to be or compete in a natural competition as a result. The NPA expect 5 years of natural training, but beleive you if you say so and the BNBF who expect 10 years clean training behind you. They use a lie detector test to determine this. As you can expect the NPA competitors are unsurprisingly bigger than the BNBF. There are still cheats in the BNBF but less of them and seems to be the only UK organisation with genuine sized competitors, a cheat would stick out, however i suspect diuretic use is rampant as the conditon of some the competitors is on par with non drug tested competitions.. makes you think doesnt it.. Anyhoo, soo, you`re gonna do some Bullets then.. forget all that bollocks about getting big quick, n pumped up to fcuk from workouts, you need to be able to train hard and intensely and be hitting or approaching personal bests before you even think you`re training warrants using them. If you`re trainings crap you`ll get crap results, sure you`ll put a load of false weight on whilst in them, but when you stop you`ll lose the lot.. you`ll then either blame the routine or the Bullets. Any steroid cycle is the icing on the cake not a way to get you over a plateau (unless you`re an advanced trainer) Dont take them or anything like it if youre under 21, you simply dont need them and can make cracking gains naturally IF you`re trainings good. How do i know this? because i trained at 21 and got poor results and I`ve trained this year using TRT which allowed me to recreate the hormone levels of an 18 years old and got fantatistic results from poor training due to injuries which more than compares to my poor training as a youngster. Essentially an oral steroid which is now what you know you`re using, if it  is a first step is to injecting a steroid. Now, needle for something I deem to be recreational is a total no no. Its a personal principle that I take a lot of stick for. However an oral steroid is liver toxic so its use MUST be for short periods of time only. As a responsible company you`re advised to do 4 week cycles. Standard oral steroids are usually run for up to 6 weeks altho 8 weeks does get justified, altho general consensus that thats taking the piss out of your liver.   A mate of a mate ran Epistane a similar compound to Bullets for 3 months, when he stopped taking them he couldnt get an erection, he was shutdown and seemingly half the size of what he`d been weeks prior, this was down to body language more than anything, he was not a happy bunny, he wasn`t calling me an interweb geek now lol. I told him he should have done a POST CYCLE THERAPY or PCT to regain the use of his nuts, in fact he should have had some nolva on hand in case of any itchyness in his nipples which is the first sign of gyno usually. PCT usually involves taking Nolva for 4 weeks post cycle altho theres a Product by Extreme Nutrition now out called "Reload" which is as good as nolva for PCT and is totally legal to buy. I`m trying the base ingredient of the it now, Bulbine Natalensis a naturally occuring herb from South Africa. This is not a cure for gyno tho so Nolva  should really be on hand when using orals. The good news is T Bullets shouldnt cause gyno.. I have to say I have heard of 1 case on the forums but you never know if its a troll or not trying to cause trouble.. Modifying this comment, a good mate of mine swears bullets have caused a lump behind his nipple and is fuming, so I`d say anti oestrogen still isnt 100% needed but it is possible for bullets to cause gyno, however, I don't know how long the bullets were ran for,or how many were taken at a time! Anything over 4 weeks and IMO you could get it,I`ve only ever done short cycles as I believe this is the way to go. Basically if in doubt do an anti e.. Next, you need a liver protector, regardless of how long you run it for. Milkthistle is great, and even the Holland & Barret stuff is ok and strong enuff, I got mine from Tescos FFS. 3 a day is good. Youre going to do a 4 week cycle, you are going to do 1 Bullet a day not the 2 that it says youre allowed.. thats for people who are BIIIG if you dont have 16 stone of muscle assume 1 is right for you, you wont like the side effects of 2.You could also get some fish oils or flax seed oil. You could carry on adding in so many supps and I`ve seen it done, all proudly listed.. makes bugger all difference on a real level.. if you have money to burn go for it that, its one of those well it cant hurt scenarios.. Legal PS`s tend to be harsher for side effects than the real thing. So a short cycle is the way to go. Rumour has it that after 3 weeks the compounds in T Bullets are ineffective.. thats crap, but I now understand why its been said, but i`ll get to that.. Horrendous shin and back pumps that make walking anything other than a short distance painful, difficulty deadlifting, nite sweats, being too horny, 1 mate got really aggressive and short tempered on them.. The amount of weight you put on with them is linked to your carbs, by that I mean when you hear of 15lbs of gained bodyweight over a cycle its cos theyre been eating way more than they should and put on a lot of water weight as a result of  high carb diet. Lean muscle gains impress me not a high number on the scales due over eating. Yes you have to eat big to grow , but theres a difference and many people hide behind it. I`ve cut each time I`ve used them for various reasons and put on and kept I suspect 3lbs altho thru injury and being unable to do little other than maintain myself, Ive lost the gains. However my backs rock solid and I see no reason to keep the gains this time round. IMO you wouldnt get more than another pound of muscle if you`d bulked, Bullets arent magic beans and if you`ve seen what a 4kg steak looks like you`ll start to realise that 10lbs+ from a 4 weeks cycle of anything wont do that.   Extreme Nutrition advise that you dont actually need to do a PCT after a 4 week cycle of T Bullets and I agree that you dont. (theyre product Reload is also a stand alone test booster) I noticed no difference either time, everything working perfectly and muscle was retained until injury hit months later..  I`ve tried with a PCT using Nolva, one using Bulbine Natalensis  and not doing a PCT at all. Again using Bulbine post cycle cant be bad thing to do, but seemingly not crucial after only 4 weeks. Its now 2 months on and I`m going to modify my comments, Bulbine Natelensis is for me brilliant. A week after a 20 daycourse of it for the aforementioned PCT and I felt great, the feeling stayed with me too, very similar to the stress busting effects of TRT.
