Here's just 10 reasons why the No Bull is different than anything else out there, and why you, if you are looking for hardcore, hard talking, REAL training and steroid info will learn more from the No Bull than you possibly could from any of the other mags :-
The No Bull is written in Britain, not the US - so we don't have to worry about the sneaky bastards from the DEA. We can print what we want, and we do! This means you get the info that other people can't or won't print. We can say exactly what we want. I like that and so will you!
The No Bull is 100% independent. It answers to no-one. No editor telling the writers to cut out the hardcore info and replace it with yet another fucking stupid supplement selling article, designed to get the cash of out your pocket. The No Bull's independence means you finally get a mag with the body building and steroid info you want. The stuff that the ordinary guy in the gym wants. Info that helps you grow and makes you laugh, and doesn't give a flying fuck about being politically correct !!!
It's irreverent. It doesn't arse lick the "Bodybuilding Establishment". In fact, more often than not it offends the powers that be, and we absolutely fucking love it! You see when you're just not bothered if you offend people, you don't care if the articles are politically correct, you just want accuracy. We just give it to you as it is. Just the facts, and No Bull, and if it offends someone - tough shit, fuck 'em. We only tell the truth, so if the "powers that be" are offended by the truth then they should mend their ways, and tell the truth themselves - me thinks!!
It's Bodybuilders writing for Bodybuilders. All of the outstanding team of No Bull writers have or still do pump iron. They have been, and still spend real time in the trenches. They know this sport... like you. They write articles you can relate to and understand. Now not all are bodybuilders, but all are athletes that pump iron... as I'll explain later. Every member of the team knows the hardcore sweat of the gym, and none of us have ever worn those faggoty all in one lycra training suits that stick right up the crack of your arse - honest :-)
It contains articles on subjects people want to read about - i.e. training, nutrition and drugs. I mean let's face it, you can only train for so long until you get fed up about reading the same boring crap as always and looking at the same photos. If you want the real deal on training, nutrition and drugs, with a taste of humor... then that's what you'll find in the "No Bull".
The No Bull doesn't try to kid itself that Bodybuilders will not use steroids if you tell them not to. What is important is that rookie athletes don't damage themselves. You see these people will listen to someone who has a positive approach to drug use, someone who's trying to guide them on the right path. But they won't, (and we all know this), listen to the people who just shout don't do it, or the political clowns who try in vain to prohibit them - yet know FUCK ALL about them. While other mags and people just stick their heads up their arses and try to gloss over the steroids issue and pretend they do not exist, we simply talk about them. Simple formula right? And one that works I might add. In short -- the No Bull will help guide you to safer, more intelligent training and steroid decisions. How? Simple, because we talk about them and their use.
It's one of the very few "pure hardcore bodybuilding and steroid mags" that has not only survived, but flourished, whilst sticking to its principles of No Bull information... And you can guarantee that's what you'll continue to get. We won't change. Mags change their direction and print shite for money. BUT I get a bigger kick out of telling it as it is than selling my soul for cash. And that won't change my friend.
It doesn't take Bodybuilding too seriously - at least not all the time. We do this sport because we love it, and that means being able to take a look at the lighter side of it... no? It means we can laugh at ourselves right? And of course take the piss out of other people.
It's damned funny. If you like crude, coarse and vulgar humor littered with all the expletives you can think of, it's incredibly funny. So you laugh whilst you learn... it's good cardio !! Most people tell me they read their No Bull's cover to cover because the humor makes it much easier to read. I agree. "If you can make 'em laugh your half way there", and the No Bull certainly does that.
It actually listens to the readers input. Wow, what a concept! Yet no one else does it. Give us your input, criticism, etc. etc. and we listen to you. Hell, if it's a good read, you may well even make it into the mag itself, and if you want to call us a bunch of wankers then your almost guaranteed to be in the mag. I really love publishing the letters that go... "But Mick, is there really any need to use such disgusting language and have so many vulgar pictures of naked women all over your otherwise excellent mag?" (A true letter I got by the way, get lots like this.) Well the answer to this one is "No, there's absolutely no need at all, but they are staying" -- But at least we listened to the readers input :-)
