Hey everybody. So I just got my bottle of Drive (man did I tear that package open like a kid on Christmas morning ) I wasn’t planning on logging this, but I couldn’t pass up on AN’s generous offer. A round of applause to a great company that has a vested interest in their community



I'll be logging Drive for 2 weeks at 2 caps 2x daily. I may extend the log and do weekly updates after the 2 weeks are complete.

Now for some stats and info:
I’m currently trying to bulk up as much as possible, which isn’t the easiest thing to do while living in a dorm, but I’ve put together the best diet I can in my situation:

Meal 1: 4 eggs, ½ cup of oatmeal, ½ cup milk
Meal 2: 1 can of solid white albacore tuna, 1 piece of whole wheat bread, 1 cup of broccoli
Meal 3: (Postworkout) 2 scoops of ON 100% Whey, 1 Banana, ½ cup Oatmeal
Meal 4: 8oz. Lean meat, 1 small red potato, 1 cup of broccoli
Meal 5: 1 Scoop ON 100% Whey, 1 Scoop ON 100% Casein, 1 Apple

I also snack on natural peanut butter and any free food I come by.

I was on a modified 5x5 routine for the past couple of months, and have just switched over to a 4 day split:

Mon: Chest/Tri
Tues: Back/Bi
Wed: Off
Thurs: Shoulders/Traps
Fri: Legs

I’ll be updating daily on the following:
• Strength:
• Bodyweight/Body Comp:
• Pumps/Vascularity:
• Endurance:
• Aggression:
• Focus:
• Libido:
• Muscle Density/Hardening:
• Overall Energy:
• Personal Commentary:

As of this writing I weigh 167-170 lbs, up from 160-162 a month ago. My weight likes to fluctuate for some reason, but generally stays in the same 2-3 pound range. As I said before, my main goal is to add LBM, but any noticeable recomp would also be welcome.

The stims in RPM have been keeping me awake lately, so I’m hoping that Drive can provide me with the focus and energy of RPM, without the sides. The only other supps I’ll be using is a multi and Xtend (3 scoops during workout.) I also intend on throwing in some RPM a couple of days, and list any noticeable differences.

Tomorrow is my day off, so my first log post will be made on Thursday.

Can't wait to get started

let's get the dance party started shall we? :]

Day 1

Finally got to start Drive this morning! I took my first dose of two capsules at 8:00 this morning about 20 minutes before breakfast, and took my pre-wo dose of two capsules about twenty minutes ago.

I'll report back once I get back from the gym. Not sure if it's placebo, but so far I've felt a few things:

Sense of overall well being
More awake
Libido seems slightly heightened
Focus similar to RPM, but "smoother"

Now to the gym

[Jet]

Well I met a new vein today

• Strength: Seemed about the same, overall a good workout, but no dramatic changes.
• Bodyweight/Body Comp: Body Weight=167. N/C.
• Pumps/Vascularity: Had pretty good pumps, surprising for the first day, and met a new vein.
• Endurance: Good, about the same as normal.
• Aggression: No rpm-like aggression today
• Focus: Good focus, but nothing extreme
• Libido: Slightly heightened
• Muscle Density/Hardening: N/C
• Overall Energy: Improved, I feel a little more awake today, and in a better mood than normally.

Personal Commentary: I'm really not sure if some of these affects are placebo, but I'm pretty impressed if they're not. What is especially impressive was that I saw a new vein. I'm not an extremely vascular guy, so it's pretty rare for me to see that kind of thing. Existing veins were more prominent also

Can't wait for Drive to kick in at full effect. If I'm feeling it the first day, I can't wait to be 10 days in

Day 2

Leg day today

• Strength: About average, maybe got a couple of extra reps in.
• Bodyweight/Body Comp: Body Weight=167. N/C.
• Pumps/Vascularity: Pump was decent, harder to tell because it was a leg day. No vascularity today.
• Endurance: Slightly above average
• Aggression: No rpm-like aggression today
• Focus: N/C
• Libido: N/C
• Muscle Density/Hardening: Noticeable muscle hardening during workout
• Overall Energy: Not quite as awake as yesterday, but still feeling good.

Personal Comments
Today was a leg day. Had to skip a meal before my workout, but I still made it through my workout with good energy. I was sweating like CRAZY today, I'm looking forward to the fat loss I might see on this . It was harder to judge pump and vascularity since it was a leg day, but I definitely felt pretty substantial pump and hardening. Overall mood and energy aren't quite as good as yesterday, but still above average.

Can't wait until monday. Any AN reps care to comment on how I should dose on off days? Stick with 2 caps 2x daily, or down it to 1 cap in the morning and 2 in the afternoon?

Stick with 2x2 or 3x2, or even 3x3 if you really want a kick

Day 5

Chest and Tris today. Drive is starting to kick in.

• Strength: Slightly up, but form is greatly improved.
• Bodyweight/Body Comp: Look a little fuller in the mirror
• Pumps/Vascularity: Veins are starting to peek through. Dense, long lasting pumps.
• Endurance: Great, didn't run out of breath today.
• Aggression: High, I feel like destroying random objects throughout the day.
• Focus: High, heightened focus is leading to much better form and slower repititions.
• Libido: Slightly elevated
• Muscle Density/Hardening: Muscles are getting very dense during workouts
• Overall Energy: About the same

Personal Comments
The Drive is definitely starting to kick in. My veins are all starting to peek through during workouts. They're not completely there yet, but getting close. My endurance was great today; I never felt out of breath, I just felt like I had to let my heart rate drop before moving onto the next set. The focus I'm getting is making my form a lot better, so it feels like work done is more beneficial than usual. Aggression is definitely heightened, and I get pretty heated about little things. Pumps were solid, muscles are getting dense, and it's easy to tell that it's only going to get better

P.S. I'm probably going to extend the log beyond the two weeks I initially said. After week two I think I'll start stacking with RPM to see what noticeable differences it makes.

By the way, a question for anybody on the AN team: How many hours apart should I try to keep the doses?

I wake up at 8:00am during the week and take my first dose, and because of class schedule, I have to take my second dose (1hr pre-workout) at 11:00am or 10:00am depending on the day of the week. Should I skip my morning dose, take my first dose pre-workout, and take my second dose later in the afternoon? Or keep dosing the way I am?

I only ask because I've seen you suggest it to a few others, and wasn't sure which way to dose in my situation

I'm not on the AN team but...

I'd go with the 1 dose pre-workout, and the other around 6pm, assuming it doesn't bother your sleep. It didn't affect mine at any time, so I was taking em separated as 8 hour splits for a while 2/2/2 6am 2pm 10pm. dang I wish I was taking it right now

Great question!!! I would take the first dose pre-workout, and the second later in the day- maybe 6-8 hours later, but there are a lot of different ways to do this:

What I do:

I wake up at 5 AM, take 4 Osteobolin, 3 Drive, 3 RPM, and 3 IGF-2 on an empty stomach- wait for them to kick in, walk the dogs about 6, drink an MRP, and hit the track or weight room by 7.

9 AM Post workout:
50 grams maltodextrin
5 Neovar
50 grams whey protein
2 scoops Xtend

One hour later:
50 grams protein
100 grams of complex carbs (rice or pasta)

1 PM: 3 Drive and 3 IGF-2

3 PM: 1 Drive and a Monster drink if I am dragging at all

6 PM: 5 Neovar with dinner

9 PM: 3 IGF-2 on an empty stomach before bed, along with 4 Osteo-C

Pretty basic, and great for recovery!!!

Bottom line and things to remember:

3 Drive plus 3 RPM pre-workout- trust me on this- it will keep you pumped and strong all day
Spread out the doses on Drive 6-10 hours apart, and you can use RPM along with your second dose of Drive (works even better this way )

Thanks guys, I had a feeling I was dosing them too closely together

I'll definitely be throwing in some of my RPM soon

I find timing is everything with these herbal type athletic supps.
