What did you think???

sean taylor · 04-17-2007, 06:22 PM

Started with dosing 3 1 hour before workout- This was leg day.
first workout felt focused, zoned in. Generally good, but not impressed....yet....

Second WO dosing 4 same time-This was chest day.
Focused and able to able to do a few extra reps on almost everything. Nice feeling inside my head and felt "good".

Third WO dosing 4 again- Back day
This was the yellow ones and all was crazy. Squeezed out extra reps in everything and had gas in the tank all the way thru. Endurance was there and the foucs was great. I trucked through everything. Felt excited to be there and good to be throwing up the iron.

Fourth WO dosed 5 one hour before- Chest again cause I skipped a leg day due to holiday.
So when you break your wrist and then not workout for about 6 weeks then come back for 2 weeks, are ya suppoose to be doing DB Bench with 100lber's? I wouldn't think so at that quick of time but I did them...2sets of 5 as a matter of fact and was eyeing the 120's but decided not. I had tons of foucs, and loads of endurance. No ass dragging or shiat talking, just getting it done. Felt damn good...ready to keep going..

Thoughts:
This is unlike anything I have taken before...kinda like ClearEdge and test mixed after you hit the 4th week..
That is my analogy of it, not AN (BTW). Hard to sum up..and I did not even mention the pumps...seeing all the veins in my bi's was sick.

I have 2 more doses and I heard this stuff gets better every does...sweet.

Your review kind of makes me think it has to build up in your system, so you would have to take it on your off days so its still in your system on your workout days...?

Lanbane · 04-17-2007, 06:34 PM

I'm going for 100's on DB Shoulder Press next week............... Hoping for 3 reps. 4 caps of RPM about 20 min beforehand ;-)

Lanbane · 04-17-2007, 06:35 PM

You're missing key info: Sean's a big guy, and underdosed the first time.

This product and it's amazing effects will be felt on the first dose. But yes, it does get better with repeated use....

So its not strictly pre-workout then, its best to take everyday, to keep it in your system?. The problem with that is cost. You would save money if you just used it pre-workout, but if it is necessary to keep it "loaded" in your system by dosing everyday than that will be in my opinion a negative thing unless its cost is very reasonable. Say as cheap as bulk creatine mono...I guess I'll see when I get my sample though. I'll have to take all the pills at once to get a better idea. You said the sample were for two workouts only correct?

Good question- when we I were researching this product, we were looking for a compound that had testosterone mimetic effects, was fast acting, and yet additive with time. We went through old logs, Ayurvedic texts, NCBI, PubMed, you name it, we searched it....

I was looking for this criterion, and Icariin kept popping up- all the research points to a compound with acute effects (short term PDE4 and 5 inhibition, cAMP increases, anti-catabolic) with chronic effects (increases in bone mass and overall anabolic hormone profiles, lipolysis just to name a few). Icariin works right away, and yet works better and better with continued use- so in essence, the user of RPM gets the best of both worlds- short-term effects that give you the DRIVE (I can't describe it any other way) to take your workout to the next level, and longer term effects that will aid in building fat-free mass and lipolysis.

So to answer your question, you can actually skip it on non-workout days- it does work better with time, but it will work immediately as well- so it will continue to be effective, even if only taken sporadically....

Is it better to take with or without food?. I do better working out on an empty or nearly empty stomach, just some pre-workout whey.

T, I took without food 1 hour before gym...
It was beta to me as pre-workout so I have not taken other than that. Honestlhy, the "pumped brain" feeling I get is/should be reserved for gym. I feel aggeressive on 5 and ready to throw back the iron. This is suppose to build over time in your system but I think I started too low for my size

5 is good for me and if anyone wnats to know, I am 270-275lbs.
For a free sample, I say you try it...

And I found a paper saying Icariin could help with ED. Not sure AN can say that but I can since I am not affiliated with them..and from an anecdotal standpoint..I did not a "rise" in bedtime activity when I dosed since I workout in the evenings. could be a result of working out but...hmm..maybe this stuff does perk things up a bit...

Ok so you are huge, thats good to know that I won't need that much than. I looked at your profile and saw your pictures. That highland games stuff looks fun, I have only seen it in a commercial for Canadian tourism. Is it ever on tv?. I look forward to trying this new product anyway.

Posted this in another RPM thread before remembering this thread was here specifically for this purpose:

I RPM'ed this morning.... 4 caps.
Did bodyweight dips as my first tricep exercise. Set of 20... felt good.... so I did a set of 30..... felt good..... then a set of 50 which felt awesome, before moving on to skullcrushers, 3 sets of 10 with 100 lbs.

Damn good numbers for me!!! Me lovey RPM long time.

ugab37 · 04-18-2007, 09:50 AM

HOLY ****!!!! What in the hell is in those yellow caps? Man I worked out for 3 hrs and I could've kept freaking going. I had to make myself stop. The pumps were UNREAL(seriously like being on some damn real gear). At one point, I actually said to myself "dude, go home. you cant get tired and you're going to hurt yourself". All I can say is "I AM A BELIEVER!!!".

Thats exactly what I pm'd rms80 after I tried it the first time. Im about 230 and I only dosed 3, so I dont even want to know how good 4 or 5 would be. I also took them once before work and I was in a good mood and motivated as hell all day long.
