RPM/ DRIVE at the SAME TIME

Domenic · 03-25-2008, 08:25 PM

RPM says to take 1 hour pre-workout

DRIVE says to take upon waking and 1 hour pre-workout.

In my case, waking up IS one hour pre-workout. So can I take my 6 DRIVE caps and 5 RPM caps at the same time?

Not optimal. How much do you weigh?

250.

I wish I would have looked around a little bit more before posting this. It seems like hardly anybody sticks to the recommended dosage anyway.

I was going to take 3 DRIVE upon waking with the 5 RPM, then 3 DRIVE later that afternoon.

How's that?

Thats more of an optimal choice. I generally split my doses of RPM too because I liked to have the pumped feeling all day, but it can be taken just pre-workout because that is what is made for. However, with DRIVE you have to split the doses or you are not letting the product do its intended work. The reason you split the doses is to keep your cAMP levels elevated throughout the day. Now I could go into more scientific detail, but I have a feeling the stragepedia might take care of that if you want to know more...

SamBoz has made a good contribution already. It is generally important to keep in mind that the recommended dosage are guidelines. They are by no means cast in stone. I weigh about 235lbs and take 8 capsules of Drive and 6 capsules of RPM everyday during my stack. As for IGF-2, I take anything between 12 and 15 capsules daily, in addition to Drive and RPM. One beauty of RPM, Drive, and other AN products is the flexibility in dosing. It helps to experiment a bit to see what dosage levels your body responds best to.
In your situation, I would recommend 4-5 Drive with 4 RPM pre-workout, and the balance later in the day (to reach 6 Drive and 5 RPM). Your workouts would take a different dimension when you stack 4-5 Drive with 4 RPM. Feel free to try alternative options, if you prefer. Wish you great workouts!

Thanks everybody. I'll play around with it.

i did 3 Drive w/ 5 RPM pre and then 3 Drive about an hour after my lunch ... same thing as the OP with waking up and being in the gym an hour later ... I'll have to try the increased Drive pre (two bottles shipped today) and compare the two dosing methods

I've had to cut back on the RPM to only 3 pre ... too much sweating at the office after my workouts when I was taking 5

Many users report excellent results with stacking 6 Drive and 3 RPM daily. Cumulative impact remains solid. That is synergy!

So I think I left this thread agreeing to take 5 RPM and 3 DRIVE upon waking, (which is also an hour before I work out) and 3 DRIVE later on.

What about cardio-only days?

What about totally OFF days?

Your dose on cardio-only days should be the same as on workout-days. On off-days, you should take your full dose of Drive and reduce your RPM dose by half, if you want.

You got it chief.

Much appreciated, thank you.

Man, there's something about me and cellulose or the gelatin or SOMETHINg, but taking more than a couple of pills fills me up like I just ate a 5-course meal. Forget about WMS or Whey after my workout or I'll vomit my brains out. Can I crack the 5 RPM's into a sip of water so I can still get in my post-workout nutrition? (this is without the 3 DRIVE, that's getting here today so I'll be starting it tomorrow).

Sure! Some take that approach. The compounds would hit your system faster. Be warned, though: RPM powder was not meant to be a nice-tasting beverage!
