OKeeDoke, here's my impression of RPM

THE GOOD

I took 4 orange pills at 2pm yesterday on an empty stomach and was lifting by 3pm.

There was a definite increase in focus, intesity, strength and endurance that felt very "testosteroney".

Drive/aggression was elevated as was heart rate.

My WO was balls to the wall intense, so much so I made myself kinda nauseous, but all in all it was a great workout. I had lots of energy left over after the workout as well.

Pumps were great and I looked like I was on cycle.

There was a bump in libido..testes seemed to boost up in size later that night and there was the urge to merge. I'm on post cycle therapy so this is significant. This has been my previous experience with Horny Goat Weed products though none have taken effect this quickly. Generally it takes a week or more to feel the effects of 20% Icariin products.



THE BAD

I am pleading with the good folks at Applied Nutracueticals to offer a NON-CAFFEINATED version of RPM.

I don't know how much methylxanthines you guys put in there, but I was wide awake until almost 4am last night/today. Icariin is already well known as a mild stim, so I don't really see the need to be putting caffeine in a product of this nature..especially considering the new research showing that caffiene pre-workout ups your cortisol levels by 6X, not to mention the vasoconstrictive properties.

I do like the concept of this blend of 50% Icariin, grape seed and Narigenen a lot, but given that I work out in the evenings, there is no way I can take a caffeinated pre-workout supp...so pleeeeeease make a decaf version.

Awesome Feedback Bio!
We'll see what D has to say about a non-stim version...... might be a good addition to the line!

[bioman]

Also, thank you AN for allowing me to beta test this product. Whether or not my view represent the majority or the minority, I appreciate you taking the time to send out samples and listen to feedback.

[Lanbane]

Hey, feedback is necessary to refine and improve... as well as come up with new ideas for future products (i.e. non-stim RPM). Any and all feedback we can get, especially from people who know what they are talking about, is priceless!

[djl]

From the thread I deleted--realized my feedback should go here instead:

Well, I got my sample packet, and decided to first try 3, just in case of weird reaction/allergy/what-have-you.

I promptly fell asleep.

I'll try 4 tonight. Fingers crossed!

I did 4 this morning also and that is EXACTLY how I felt also! TESTOSTERONEY!!!

And...i felt like puking too after a few of the more intense sets!

[WannaBeHulk]

took 3 caps for a trial test 2 days ago on an empty stomach. i always like starting with a lower dose to see how much more efficient a higher serving is and determine if its cost effective or if theres a health/benefit ratio.

surpisingly, i felt really good. i trained strength and back and felt slightly stronger than normal. also gave mild euphoria/alpha male feelings unlike caffeine effects on me. it was a good mood boost with increased focus and energy. like bioman, i couldnt sleep well either but i train late at night.

ill throw in another vote for a non caffeinated version. ill likely purchase this when it becomes available. good job AN. ill post my thoughts on 4 caps as well to judge diminishing or accelerated returns compared to 3 caps.

Looking forward to further feedback. Your non-stim vote is noted!

It's frustrating. When I use to workout in the early AM, stims worked pretty well.

At night, I've taken 2 Stimulant-X (original version) at 5:30 pm and been asleep by 9 pm.

For some odd reason, it appears that stims work backwards for me at night. This makes me sad.

AWESOME feedback- working on it right now Bio!!!

I like that you gave me both positive and negative feedback- gives me something to work with (If I had a choice positive would be better tho)!!!

Once again- more good feedback- what else are you taking, if anything? This will help me piece together a better idea of what type of interactions RPM may have with other supps....You can PM me if you want..

I have heard of this reaction in 1 other person out of roughly 100....it seemed to have a depressant effect on 1 person, and then you- everyone is different!!!

I noticed the strength-enhancing effects after the first work out- but now I am six weeks in and they keep increasing!!!!

My body fat is also down to about 5%!!

[Lanbane]

rms, time to enter a bodybuilding comp!

[bioman]

I forgot to add that I am 5'10, 190, ooohh about 9-10% bf as I can see the upper 4 abs pretty well now. Aside from minor tweaks to body comp, I am at my desired weight and will be concentrating on strength for awhile.

The reason I vote for a non-stim version is that I would like to use it long term purely for the SARM effects and not have to worry about over use of stims. I was pretty freakin wired last night. I felt good, but 4 am is way past my bedtime, lol.
