ASSAULT FINAL REVIEW​

Let me just say that it was a true privilege to run Assault and Bullet Proof for Muscle Pharm. I’ve logged several different supplements and like most have a cabinet full of “stuff” that either worked or after a month or so... it was “why the hell am I even bothering.”

I’m very picky when it comes to supplements and really want to make sure that when I do a log that it’s not only an honest one, but everyone will benefit (mainly the consumers). With that being said, I tend to look at the ingredients of the products before even submitting my application (maybe even PM the Rep(s) or “The Big Guy” for more details). I’m a big believer in what we put in our body reflects on how we grow (common sense...right!)

Well, let me just tell you this..... I’ve tried sooo many samples packets of different pre-workout drinks, only to be left feeling strung out, sick to my stomach (didn’t want to workout) or my heart was racing so fast that I thought I was going to stroke.

Typically when you come down from these types of products, you just crash... and I mean hard. The first night I took ASSAULT.... (also my first time taken a product that contained Beta Alanine), kicked in about 20 minutes during my drive to the gym. I felt the tingles that everyone talks about (with BA) and I knew right then it was going to be a hell of a journey for the next 30+ days. ASSAULT was right on the money when it comes to the results you’ll get!

Some of the Key Ingredients:

SUMA ROOT: Has also been called "the Russian secret," as it has been taken by Russian Olympic athletes for many years and has been reported to increase muscle-building and endurance.

BETA ALANINE: is a non-essential amino acid and is the only naturally occurring beta-amino acid with benefits of: Increased Muscle Mass, Increased anaerobic and aerobic endurance, and increased Muscular Strength.

CITRULINE MELATE: Citrulline Malate provides muscle energy that allows individuals of all walks to train harder and longer while speeding recuperation from exercise.

L-ARGININE: Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid. It is a building block of protein that performs a myriad of physiological functions. It is a known precursor of the gas nitric oxide (N02)

KRE-ALKALYN: is Creatine that is 100% stable and will not break down into Creatinine. This allows the Creatine to be absorbed more efficiently into the bloodstream. Kre-Alkalyn® allows athletes to use smaller serving sizes while experiencing even more explosive results.

CREATINE ETHYL ESTER (CEE): CEE does a superior work to gain muscle mass and muscle power in all athletes.

PYRU GLUTAMIC ACID: It increases the brain's ability to use glucose, meaning your brain cells have more energy available for their everyday needs, and feelings of tiredness and low mood are also improved.

How is Assault different from other pre workout powders?
Assault is the most innovative pre-workout product to date. Assault is the only product on the market to combine entire formulas into one product giving you the new revolution in Pre-Workout Products. In addition we have spent much time perfecting the flavor, and guarantee Assault is the best tasting Pre-Workout cocktail you have ever experienced!
In addition, Assault ingredients are made from active ingredients, unlike most Pre-Workout Powders we do not fill the majority of our bottle with unnecessary fillers to save cost and affect the integrity of the ingredients. Assault is ONLY properly dosed Pre-Work out product on the market!

What does it mean to feel “Assaulting Pumps”?
This simply means that the Nitric Oxide Complex in Assault will allow more blood flow to the muscle allowing giving your muscle more oxygen in your training while you are tearing it down. Assault gives you that focus and muscle mind connection that will allow the muscle to grow giving you pumps you have never experienced before!

If you haven't seen the pictures, checkout the log! Pumps were just insane! On shoulder day, they just looked like I had a baseball cut in half and just popped them on my arms. I know that sounds corny, but hell...truth be told. As for calves... I have some tiny ass calves... worked those babies like you wouldn't believe! Picture's speak louder then words (even typed). Arms... whole other story... one of the MP Reps always bust my balls about... "it's not a tumor"...... that's cause when I did Arms.. my Triceps just looked freaky pump'd! Like I said... checkout the log!

How long will the effect or pump last!
Customers have experienced pumps that last as long as 2-3 hours after a workout. These pumps will last the entire time you are on Assault.

2-3 hours after, are an under statement! I woke up the next morning still pump'd. Over the several weeks that I took Assault, I could gauge exactly when my body was in full swing. Veins were just popping everywhere. Then it was time to hit the weights. If you haven't been following the log, these workouts were nothing easy. Yeah, the weight might look extremely low on some, but I dare you to give it a try. Saw damn good results and knowing that with Assault... the flood gates were open and supplying everything I needed to my muscles.

How should I take Assault?
Take Assault 1 scoop 15-30 minutes prior to workout to get a ridiculous pump. Take 4 weeks on 1 week off. Also for continued use without break use Assault Mon-Fri & take weekend’s off. We do not recommend exceeding 1 serving.
**Drink a minimum of 1 gallon of water per day when taking Assault.

I truly liked taken it on my way to the gym (20 minute drive), or if I was hitting the weights at home... about 30 minutes. Like I said, I would use my body (signs of... BA tingles, popped veins and that extra energy...) to determine when I was going to workout.

Last thoughts:

Rasberry Assault - taste was just amazing! Blue Raspberry Kook-Aid meets...... Hardcore Supplement!

Key Points -

*Product discription is right on! If what you read about the product on all the sites/boards tells you it's going to get you pump'd... IT'S RIGHT ON!

*When mixing, use room temp water, don't put in your typically protein shaker.... funnel, water bottle, and Assault. Trust me! You want every bit!

*First time you scoop it out.... ahhhh that inhale of bLUE Rasberry Heaven... awesome.. I've found myself just licking my finger and catching the dust in the top of the container (powder is that fine)!

*Endurance ...wow ENDURANCE... my PT gave me some really crazy workouts... helped me push on throw...

*For what your getting in the product, the price is damn inexpensive!

Should Bullet Proof be cycled?
To get the maximum benefits of Bullet Proof we recommended cycling the product so that you body does not build a tolerance to the Nootropic ingredients in Bullet Proof. Bullet Proof can be used two ways:

During extra hard training periods or contest prep Bullet Proof can be used everyday for 22 days straight. After the 22 days you should cease usage for two weeks before starting another cycle of Bullet Proof.

Alternatively Bullet Proof can be cycled by using a 5 days on 2 days of regiment. With this dosing scheme you can use Bullet Proof for up to 8 weeks before needing to take a two-week break from the product. Optimally you would want to take Bullet Proof on Your workout days and not use it on your off days from training.

This was the approach I took the 5 days on 2 days off. I remember that first dose.... I was like, “well Orange Raspberry.... very innovative product with the flavor to go with it.” This stuff mixes in no matter what temperature you decided to use. So I took my first sip and thought...”damn, this taste like Orange baby aspirin!” Of course, I had to figure out what the taste was... Orange Raspberry is very unique... so trying to pinpoint an exact taste was difficult. It wasn’t really Orange and not so much Raspberry. I was sitting there drinking it one night and it hit me (no pun intended, cause when this kick’s in nite-nite.. see below) Cantaloupe! That’s right, for me it tasted like Cantaloupe and from there on out I couldn’t get enough. So on my non-workout days... I was really missing my nighttime mix.

Should I drink Bullet proof during workouts since it has EAA?
Although Bullet Proof contains many ingredients that are very productive when taking around training times, its also contains ingredients that will strongly relax the body and induce sleep. Therefore it is not recommended to take Bullet Proof before a workout or during the day, but as a nighttime recovery aid.

Will Bullet Proof help me fall asleep faster?
Yes! The ingredients in Bullet Proof not only induce deeper and more restful sleep, but also to relax the body and mind while still awake. Shortly after dosing Bullet Proof users will notice a very relaxing and calming feeling taking over there body which will lead to users falling asleep anywhere from 30 - 60 minutes later.

Wow, 30-60 minutes is an understatement! I guess it all depends on the individual. The first week, it hit me in a matter of 15-20 minutes. It felt like I took a muscle relaxer (sp)! I could seriously feel the relaxation setting in. Then in the second week, I started to just hold a little in my mouth for 20 seconds or so to see if it would absorb quicker (you know... a little experiment). Great stuff…

Why is sleep important to a bodybuilder/athlete?
Contrary to popular belief, athletes and bodybuilders do not build muscle in the gym but they actually build it while sleeping. When training you cause micro tears in your muscle fibers that trigger the body to repair and strengthen itself so that you can become stronger and adapt to your training. The catch is though, that the body will only repair itself while you are at rest. Also while you sleep you are allowing your body's central nervous system to refresh itself and prepare your body for future training. Without proper rest an athlete will never fully recover from their training and will eventually not be able to progress to more intense and productive training sessions. Finally proper sleep will allow your body to produce two of its most anabolic hormones, Testosterone and Growth Hormone. These two hormones greatly influence your body composition and athletic ability, which will allow you to achieve your goals not only faster, but also naturally.

I feel the highlighted/bold sentence in here is what a lot of us take for granted. There are so many companies out there with products to get us “huge” during workouts, it’s finally nice to have a quality product (packed with amazing ingredients) that not only helps you sleep, but force feeds your muscles with the HGH and Night Growth Matrix.

Overall:

Once again, this product does everything it promises! As for recovery, I’d have to say this has been one of the best product’s I’ve used. If you look at my log, I’ve push my body beyond anything I thought I could accomplish (thanks to Assault). By doing this, my body would have been sore as hell if it wasn’t for Bullet Proof. Granted, I was still sore…. but not near as bad as I would have been if it wasn’t for this supplement. Seriously… look at the log, started off simple, very basic… then hooked up with a PT and took it to the next level.

Key Points:
Taste: Orange/Raspberry – at first really took me back a bit, but love the taste!

Ingredients: Perfect for someone looking to either cut/bulk, what else could you ask for…

Price – once again, for what you’re getting in the product, the price is damn inexpensive!

Wish I could take this every night to help me grow/repair/sleep…etc

As I sit here sipping on my last serving…. That’s where this log has to end… time for bed!
