This was/is a very nasty but effective steroid that was removed from the market about 1987 or so. Not all that long ago it began showing up on the black market from Australia. Upon testing the 50-ml vials, it was discovered that it actually contained 31-mg/ml of Trenbolone acetate. Most Fina Jet now found is bogus. It contains either a testosterone ester, ground Finaplix pellets, or just oil. But the original has been discontinued. (There are several new brands of the drug trenbolone acetate)
Trenbolone acetate is a strong androgenic/anabolic steroid that caused a fast increase in strength and increased fat burning if the athlete’s diet was right. Unless stacked with other steroids, this drug did not cause much in actual weight gain (dose dependent). Its main use was to harden the physique’s appearance once body fat levels were low enough before competition. For the most part, bodybuilders have replaced Finajet/ Finaject with Parabolan or one of the many black market trenbolone products. Since Finajet did not cause gyno or water retention, one may assume it was fairly clean. Wrong! Even at dosages of 30-60-mg injected daily, side effects such as kidney toxicity, nose bleeds, headaches, high blood pressure, acne, and serious attitude problems were common.
Some creative and brave athletes have used the Finaplix 20 mg pellets which are intended for animal use. The pellets are shot into animal tissue for a slow release of Trenbolone. However some athletes (and black market crazies) have ground the pellets into a powder, mixed it with oil or water, and injected the very un-sterile solution with 18 gauge needles. I can not stress enough how dangerous this is. The product is often labeled Finabolan. (“Finabolin” gives us a chance to discuss trenbolone in greater depth in a moment)
Another reported method of using the Finaplix pellets was to ground them into powder, mix the powder with a 50/50 solution of DMSO (DIMETHYL SULFOXIDE) and water. Then apply it to skin. The DMSO acts as a transporter that allows 14-18-MG of a 20MG pellet to be absorbed into the blood stream while the skin acts as a filter of sorts. Unfortunately this also allowed many toxins on the skin to enter as well.
Some individuals have claimed real hard-core status by using an animal pellet implant gun and taking one in the glute. Do not try this at home. The pain would be major and compared to being shot with a .177 pellet. The interesting side of this is that the lads who did this had been told that the Finaplex pellets were readily absorbed “rectally”.
*Geez! And some bodybuilders wonder why we have the stigma of dull wittedness?
NOTED POSITIVE EFFECTS OF TRENBOLONE
*Amazing anabolic qualities.
*Rapid high quality lean tissue gains. (Dose dependent) *Maximum post-cycle lean mass retention. *Low-none water retention.
*Increased Erythropoies (Red blood cell production) *Does not aromatize to estrogens. *Superior strength and mass gain. (Lean) *Extreme hardening of musculature and vascularity. *Excellent protein sparing/anti-catabolic qualities. *Reduction in fat stores and favorable distribution. *Increased metabolic rate. *Low-moderate HPTA function inhibition. *Significant increase in muscle glycogen synthesis. *Increase creatine phosphate (CP) synthesis. *Improved muscle insulin receptor activity.
*Remains anabolic during calorie restricted periods. (High protein intake remains necessary)
