Wedgy's Sponsored Anabolic Drive Log

[Wedgylx]

I'd like to thank AN for the chance to test out the "purple and white" Beta Version of ANABOLIC DRIVE by Applied Nutriceuticals. I have around a 22 day supply, I'm taking my first dose righttttt......now. I was chosen to log this on another board, but I figured I'd log it here as well to cash in on any advice on my training, and also to obtain a wider audience on behalf of AN.

I'll be dosing 3 caps, twice per day - with one of my doses being 30mins preworkout.

DISCLAIMER - I have a broken leg, and will not be doing cardio or leg workouts. Just to let everyone know ahead of time!


STATS:
ARMS - 17"
CHEST - 44.8"
WAIST - 34.8
QUADS - 24"

-Actually, this was an EXCELLENT workout for me. This is the first day, so too early to say whether this is due to the Drive or not, but I hope to GOD it is lol
-Mind Muscle connection seems to be greatly improved - not knowing what is actually in this is killing me lol. It will be interesting to see how my feedback relates to the ingredients though.

_____________200lbs X10 -> "Shrugs" at same weight X5

FEEDBACK:
-When i say "shrugs", basically at the end of my rows, I do a type of "shrug" with the weight to hit my traps harder. Basically, I let my arms hang , and I squeeze my shoulder blades together WITHOUT PULLING MY FISTS IN TO MY BODY. So basically, this is a shrug with the weight out in front of my body, rather than hanging. So this hits more of the middle/lower Traps than the upper traps.
-I really felt swole today, I hope this feeling continues.
-Mind-muscle connection is, again, feeling amazing.

FEEDBACK:
- Chest felt excellent, I'm looking nice and Tapered.
-I think its worth noting that my first week's chest workout was GREAT - all my weights had increased from the week before. So today was another good day for me, even though it doesn't look like weights are up much from the start of the log.
-Flat bench increased by 10lbs, but suffered with repetitions. My first set I got 8 out (I would take that just fine), but my second set I only got 6 reps. To be fair, if I trusted the guy spotting me I would have went for 7 and probably got it mostly myself (the bad part about training solo I guess)
- Definitely gives you the "Alpha Male" Mentality. My concentration was excellent and I felt like the hulk.
- Muscles are looking so full its amazing. My concern is whether or not this fullness will be present after I stop taking the supplement - if they do this truly may be a PH alternative. I'm looking forward to the rest of my log!

[Wedgylx]

I'm about to go workout.

Its back day. This is the first time I've done pullups without a cast on my leg, I'm hoping to see a few extra reps!

EDIT - I just weighted myself without the cast and with it. It actually only weights 5lbs so I don't think this will be much of a factor lol. I'll only be like 2.5% lighter haha. Although, once I start sweating it might get a tad heavier...anywho I'll update when I get home

PS, my girlfriend told me "you can definitely see all of your muscles better now, like when you're not flexing you look much more defined"

so I guess thats a good thing.

 

[matthew76]

That's awesome Wedge - I wonder when this product will finally be available? I hope it's in time while there is still a 10% off promotion at the PLANET - but i'm thinking not

I dont know, I hope soon.

Its only been a week and a half and I feel like this product would definitely have potential, and like I said as of now I'll definitely be buying a bottle. I'm kind of hoping i can buy a bottle in time to just lengthen this log out to more than 22 days.

 

[davidcyt]

very good log. thank you Wedgylx. can you compare Rpm with Drive in strengh, focus, and energy?
thanks again

 

[matthew76]

Yeah, that would be good to continue with it w/o any breaks...

 

[Wedgylx]

very good log. thank you Wedgylx. can you compare Rpm with Drive in strengh, focus, and energy?
thanks again

To be totally honest, I didn't like RPM at all. I took 2 doses of 5 caps each, and I couldn't tell I had taken anything either time. Granted, this was only 2 doses, but I feel far better focus and have seen increases in strength from drive.

[matthew76]

Tri's first is a must - get the larger muscle to respond and your body will feed your arms with more than an ample supply of blood - which is goooood!

Yeah I'm going to run Tri's first for a while, that was the first time I hit them fresh (as in not after biceps) ever - probably why they are one of my lagging parts haha

-Back felt great today
-Pullup numbers aren't accurate, as I forgot my straps. The Pullup bar at my gym is a very thin polished chrome bar and is nearly impossible to hold onto without straps I mean, my grip strength has always been bad, but I haven't done heavy lifts in about 8 weeks (deads, heavy shrugs etc) so its even worse than usual. That being said, I didn't do too bad at all - but I expect better number next week (if i have enough drive to last til then

-I gave my back a pretty light day, call it periodization I guess but I've been hitting it hard lately and figured I could use a lower pace today.

bump awesome log man. I got a x-factor,drive log coming soon. Im not enjoying my time with stims as of now. Decent workouts but the aftermath, the tiredness and such the semi heavy beating of the heart. It's weird. Maybe im being paraoid. but it will be intresting to test a non stim product like drive and then go back to stims afterwards.

I'll tell you this honestly - nothing has ever given me the type of focus in the gym that I got from Drive.

This has amazing stacking potential - using this with even just a solid Creatine+Beta Alanine+BCAA mix would be sick...

Weight - 195lbs
Arms - 17" - no change
chest - 44.5 - lost .3 inches
waist - 34.2in - lost .5inches
weight - 196lbs - gained 5lbs
bf% 10.8 , 12.6 , 12.6 - so roughly 12%bf - this really shouldn't be bother with. I can't trust this dumb electric bf% thing

I strayed from my diet a bit - i love this product so much that I kept wanting to go harder so I ended up increasing cals slightly.

Considering this was only 22 days, I'd say not bad. I'll definitely be buying this to try again

 

[Wedgylx]

Thanks bro!

Think the potential for more weight gain in there under caloric surplus?

Basically my "mind-muscle" connection was so improved that I'd rather eat extra calories and try to increase strength/size than use it during a cut.

HOWEVER a lot of times during my cut I feel kind of sluggish - like I'm just going through the motions - Drive would be an excellent way to keep yourself more focused on training even when cals are low

 

[Wedgylx]

sorry bro I understand now. I think you missed this quote:

I strayed from my diet a bit - i love this product so much that I kept wanting to go harder so I ended up increasing cals slightly.

I ended up bumpin cals up after a week to try to get the most out of this. But like I said I think it would be great for either cutting or bulking

In my opinion this will help you add weight in a surplus simply due to the extra reps/weight you will be able to do from the heightened focus

 

[Vitruvian]

Easyejl was saying he wished he had upped his calories a lot while using Drive..... I may give er' a go with increased cals.

Easyejl was saying he wished he had upped his calories a lot while using Drive..... I may give er' a go with increased cals.

When I buy a bottle, I'll be using it with high cal intake.

 

[Cellardude]

mnnn the added benefits of drive and x-factor. Upping calories would be the smartest thing to do as Ill see more results from both by bumping up my cal

also, I have a question for you wedgy. How much do you weigh and what did your dosage of DRIVE look like in terms of preworkout as well as the entire day. Im just wondering if it would be a smart idea To do 1 cap over the recommended dosage.
