ROK/RPM Log. Kinda...

Disciple83 · 08-13-2008, 05:57 PM

OK so never done an official log before but I'm just gonna throw something together. I have finished one tub of Ragnarok (caff free blu raz) and today started my 2nd and my first botttle of RPM. I took both approx one hour before my workout one scoop ROK and 3 tabs of RPM. Today was back/bi which looks like this:

Negative Chinup 3 sets of 8

Reverse Fly Incline 2 sets of 10 @ 15lbs

Flat Reverse Fly 2 sets of 10 @ 15 lbs

Dumbell Row 3 sets of 8 @ 30lbs

Incline Hammer Curl 2 sets of 8 @ 30lbs

Incline Hammer Curl 3 sets of 8 @ 20lbs

Incline Curl 3 sets of 10 @ 20 lbs

Deadlift 3 sets of 8 @ 215 lbs

Ha I know my weight is weak but I'm trying.

So I defenitely noticed increased focus and agression over the rok alone and overall endurance was crazy I could of kept going for hours. I do have a lil bit of a shakey/jittery feeling but I get that from stims. Experienced the same thing when I was stacking Levi RL. RPM also increases my typing speed ha ha. So as of day one defenitely satisfied with the new stack.
Tomorrow is chest/tri. stay tuned.

Add a 25 minute intense bike ride to the tail of that. Still got energy to burn. Looks like I need to come up with a longer routine.

How long is your routine now? Sometimes too long can be just as bad as not lifting at all.

Try to keep it between 45 mins and 75 minutes or so. Thats a good range.

I'm right @ 45 minutes now average but wow this RPM is crazy I still kinda feel pumped up from it. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep tonight I usually lift around 2pm but it was later today. Have to make sure on this stack I stay on my early afternoon schedule.

I told you that the combination of both was pretty intense. I couldn't justify spending to run both each month with my really tight budget, so I only rock the rok, but the two combined was nuts!

Disciple83 · 08-13-2008, 10:45 PM

It is pretty insane. I felt invincible there for a few hours. I did kinda think it was foolish financially to get two preworkout supps and I almost backed out @ the last minute and got another bottle of powerfull instead. But as of day one I'm happy with my decision <sp?> I just heard so many good reviews on RPM I had to give it a try and I sure as hell wasn't going to give up my ROK it's a staple for me from now on. I got the caff free ROK so I didn't think the stim would be that intense but the RPM is off the hook. I usually don't take stims though and the only caffeine in my diet is from ice tea no energy drinks or caffienated stuff regulary so everyone else might not have this intense of a response.

subd.
I'm about to hit up an RPM log. I'd like to see how this works out for you.

Disciple83 · 08-14-2008, 02:40 PM

Ok today was chest/tri didn't get to hit as hard as I wanted because I had to go to a meeting for work but I took same dose as before about 45 minutes pre workout. Here's how it looked.

DB Incline Press 3 sets of 8 @ 50lbs
* Noticeable Improvement over last week when I struggled to get two and a half sets.

Incline Fly 3 sets of 10 @ 30lbs
* Usually have trouble with my right shoulder during flys but it was much less irritating today

Flat Bench 1 set of 6 @ 215
2 sets of 8 @ 185
* Used to be able to do more than this but since I've added incline press to the front of my routine I've dropped down here.

Bench Dips 3 sets of 10

DB Tricep Pullover hammer grip 2 sets of 10 @ 20lbs
Underhand 2 sets of 10 @ 20lbs
Overhand 2 sets of 10 @ 20lbs

Feel like I should have more in this routine but I don't know what to add. Still gets me pretty tight and sore so any suggestions are welcome.

Finished my workout @ 1130 and its 230 now still have steady even stream of energy and ready to take on my night at work. Didn't get the jittery feeling so much today but still plenty of drive and focus and aggression too. I'm ready to take on the world.

Questions, Comments, Suggestions welcome guys. I really have no professional guidance and everything I put together for my routines is just what I learned from reading this forum.
Thanx

if you were to take this around 8 or 9 what time do you think you would be able to get to sleep?

I dunno it may be just me but I would say it gives you a boost for at least 6 hours the first day i took it a lil after 4 and felt like i was coming down around 10ish. I like it though because I don't crash like from an energy drink it's just like I return to a normal level of energy. I went to bed around 1130 still had a lil trouble falling asleep but was out by 1230ish.

Today I took it @ 930am and seems like I came down around 5ish.

But you can experiment with the dosage to see whats best for you I'm taking 3 caps right now. Either way I wouldn't suggest taking it after 530 or 600 if you wanna be in bed before 12.

Good to know and to keep in mind. Thanks!

Today, saturday, and sunday are my rest days. Will still be taking Rok to keep my creatine levels up and all the other goodies in there. Don't know if I should take the RPM or not maybe @ a lower dose? Any ideas?

Inarius · 08-15-2008, 09:00 AM

I dont think you need to take an RPM on your off days. but maybe 1 may not hurt. PM Texaslifter89. he can help you out

Inarius · 08-15-2008, 09:00 AM

or you could just not rest!!

CTDeuce · 08-15-2008, 09:06 AM

you absolutely must rest, haha.

When I was on it, I didn't take rpm on off days...but I was also taking drive at the time.
