Diet: Normal+ (4 Drive today + 2 RPM tota)
Overall Feeling: Overall strength was not as high as previous. However I believe it's b/c I am only giving my chest/shoulders 3 full days of rest, whereas in the past I've always given 6-7 days. I'm not sure if I'm doing any good with this method or not....thoughts? Stamina however, was through the ROOF! Pump and muscle hardness was also CRAZY. I wish I would look like that all the time. MY entire upper body was pumped up, hard, and looked strong.
Notes: Still overall good attitude. Getting great sleep, RPM does not negatively affect my sleeping. Weight is staying about the same but I'm eating more again. I think my body is just becoming more fit and therefore requiring more calories to maintain....or I just can't gain weight

Pictures kind of suck and don't really do it justice imo - but I thought I'd toss them in

Go on w/ your bad ninja self.

When training the same muscle groups with less days betwee, I try to do the secondary workout as just that.... a secondary muscle-feeding type workout.
Example: Heavy bicep curls on monday, and one exercise targeting bi's again thurs..... but doing about 60% weight, and doing only middle range motions. Hope this makes sense.... basically, the second workout is there to keep the muscle active and pumped full of blood and nutrients.

Ya, I've been trying to do one heavy set, say on Monday. Then on Friday I use lighter weight and shoot for 12 reps, or do a sort of superset at 10+10 reps. Would you go to failure on the "light" day as well? For example, on Saturday I went with Dumbell presses for 12-13 reps then into dumbell flys but I went every set to failure (I got every set to failure on all sets for the most part). Then on Wednesday I went heavy barbell presses shooting for 6-7 reps to failure. Maybe I'm going to failure to often? I'm not feeling bad or anything, but I can tell on my "heavy" day that my entire strength is not quite back yet.

Thanks!

[Lanbane]

I'm usually hitting failure on heavy days and just getting a pump/burn on lighter days.

8 @ 40


Diet: Normal+ (3 Drive today + 3 RPM total)
Overall Feeling: Great workout today. My body is a little sore from my new workout style but my stength and stamina today was off the chiz-art! I went up in all my lifts, including PR in Squat...in fact I'm running out of weights in my gym - I threw another 10 lbs, roughly 8% onto T-Bar row and got VERY close to same number of reps, next time I'll get it. And my biceps went up too. Pumps weren't as crazy as Chest day, but that is normal. I get huge pumps on chest whereas my legs and back don't as much, but it's cool.
Notes: I'm going with 6 total pills a day since I feel I've got a good buildup in my blood right now. 4+2 Drive, RPM on non workout days, 3+3 on workout days. I have roughly 4 days left then I'll be going RPM only workout days until after Turkey Day or maybe Christmas to let my body go back to "normal" state. Rock on!

No workout for me today, I saved up to 3 lives and gave blood. Somebody(s) is going to get some Drive and RPM laden blood and wake up from surgery ready to pump some iron...heh

I feel pretty good overall now. I'm actually just taking 3 Drive today and 1 RPM to maximize my timefram of Drive.

Day 30
Workout - Chest/Shoulders:

Bench:
5 sets

Incline Press followed by fly:
4 sets

Military Barbell:
5 sets

Side/Front Raises alternating:
4 sets


Diet: Normal+ (2 Drive today + 3 RPM total)
Overall Feeling: Another good workout. Endurance and recovery time is really good. My shoulders were sort of worn out by the time I got to Military press and my numbers suffered, but I didn't really feel cardio-wise tired nor mentally worn out.
Notes: I have scaled down so basically I'm just running a RPM log now with a few Drive thrown into the mix. I'll probably wrap this bad boy up this weekend or right before Turkey Day.

Day 31
Workout - Legs:

Squats:
5 sets - Top set was 7 @ 240

Leg Extension:
3 sets - Top set was 10 @ 140 compared to previous 12 @ 125s

Good Morning:
3 sets

Single Leg Calf with Dumbell on a bench:
3 sets

Diet: Normal+ (2 Drive today + 3 RPM total)
Overall Feeling: My legs continue to move up in weight. And believe it or not, I think I actually saw some leg muscles for the first time in my life!!!! - Yup, they are barely visible but I see the beginning of a quad outline
Notes: I have scaled down so basically I'm just running a RPM log now with a few Drive thrown into the mix. I'll probably wrap this bad boy up this weekend or right before Turkey Day.

Day 33
Workout - Back:

PullDowns:
4 sets - Top set was 7 @ 150

T-Bar row in corner:
4 sets - 5 more lbs that last week with same reps

Upright Row / Reverse Dumbell Fly
3 sets each @ 10ish reps immediately after each other

Diet: Normal+ (2 Drive today + 3 RPM total)
Overall Feeling: Had great energy today and also had nice strength in my back. I even got some pump going on, which is rare for my back. I think I have a winged scapula or something, which I just realized is a totally random statement
Notes: Well on my 4th set of pulldowns as the last rep was going back to the top the cable broke. It's one of those home gym things that's basically just a cable on the pulleys and a "rack" for the barbell. But it is a Nautilis. Luckily I didn't pull the bar into my face or anything, or have it break while I was pulling it down. I could have hurt myself and maybe sued for thousands, if not hundreds, or tens of dollars.

So there ya have it. It's proof that if you lift with Drive + RPM you will break your gym's equipment

ALL OUT OF DRIVE!

LOG SUMMARY:
This log is a little harder for me to summarize in terms of gains b/c I played around with workout routines and dosages a little more than my IGF-2 log. Instead of taking 8 weeks of the same dosage and same routine like my other log I played with this one a little more.
I will say that my legs and back gained though. I honestly don't think my chest and shoulders changed as far as 1 rep max b/c of my routine (less rest per body part), but I hope better stamina in the long run.
I believe you should take as much as your stomach can handle at first (maybe 5 Drive and 3/4 RPM on workout days and 6 + 1/2 on nonworkout). Once you hit day 10ish you could probably bump down to 4+3 and 4+1/2. I'm 185 pounds though so you may have to adjust.

PROS:
Great energy!
Aggressive in the gym - borderline angry sometimes but able to maintain my composure for the most part. Although I did have to tell one dude to bring a towel next time he wanted to sweat all over the bench b/c it's disgusting
Great attitude throughout the day. This was actually huge. Not only were the workouts great but it could honestly be used as a energy/mood enhancer as I felt more confident and talkative in social situations.
I always sleep good and did not notice any disturbance in sleep patterns from Drive or RPM.
I also don't have libido problems but I felt a tad more randy while on this stuff. In fact I had to stay away from AM a few days b/c of some of your Avatars.
I believe it would work during a bulk, cut, or recomp.
Pills are cool color so you won't get them confused with your others
You will get so strong that you'll break your home gym's cables!


CONS:
It took me a while for my stomach to get used to it. I had to run to the bathroom for some explosions for the first 10-12 days.
You will get so strong that you'll break your home gym's cables and have to buy new ones.
It costs money.....hmmmmmm........

I'd like to thank Applied Nutriceuticals for the Drive + RPM. It gave me a good feel of the product and I would run it again during any stage of lifting.

Boom!!
