I am very excited to follow this log, Kaz!
Oh, and welcome to the wonderful world of AM.com.

Your dosing looks good so far..... we'll keep an eye on how you're feeling and your results, and we can adjust from there.
The 2 Drive/day and 1 RPM/day dosing.... is it every day or only on workout days?

10/24 Day 3
(I did not work out yesterday)


workout

Box jumps

worked up to 12 of the aerobic steps stacked on eachother

7 sets x 3 reps


Reverse lunges, front foot raised 1 stepper
5s x 12
5s x 12
5s x 10
5s x 8

Pull throughs
30 x 12
40 x 12
50 x 12
60 x 10

leg raises
x 12
x 10
x 8
x 8




dosing

Morning: 1 drive
Pre-workout: 1 drive 1 RPM



Overall feelings:

I did not like it when I burped up Drive this morning, it tastes like burnt cissus! ( I feed cissus to my dog and she isnt very impressed with it either). The only highly noticeable effect of drive so far has been its incredible ability to immediately turn my poo to mush, fantastic. Ive been told this rather unpleasant side effect will eventually wear off. I eagerly await that day.

The RPM turns me hyper to the point of being irritable, like Ive had one too many coffees and gone over the edge. The hyper part is great for when I come home and just want to crash, the irritable part sucks for my gym partner (my husband, JohnyQ).

The workout was one Ive never done before, but it felt good. Still feel like I cant concentrate though.


Lanbane, I take the 2 drive every day, the RPM on workout days.

Channel that irritability into making johnyq bust his ass in the gym!

If the effects of the RPM are stronger than you'd like.... you can try taking the drive separately on an empty stomach, wait at least 15-20 min- and then take the RPM with a very small snack. Even a few nuts may be enough to dim the effects down.

As for the instant mushy-poo...... yes it'll go away. Enjoy it while you can!

10/25 Day 4

Didnt go to the gym, felt run down and icky.My days physical activity consisted of moving bedroom furniture from one room to the other.
I was blowing hot and cold this morning like I was hitting menapause, but JohnnyQ says this is from the Drive. I started off the day feeling fine, but my thigh, stomach and upper back muscle are now BURNING.

Instant mushy poo is now instant soft poo. Moving right along...

11/2 Day 12


workout

I got to the gym late because of hideous traffic. They had already started on squats, but I was angry from the traffic and grumpy from a bad day at work, so I got on the treadmill and sprinted for a mile. That got all my frustration out, then joined back up again.

Bulgarian Split Squats

12
12
12

Still burning from doing these on Tuesday


Abs
Some kind of ab rotation consisting of 4 different exercises done 3 times.



dosing

1 drive in the morning, 1 drive and 2RPM pre workout.



Overall feelings:


I took two RPM by mistake (remember, angry from the traffic, wasnt concentrating). Felt energized but not hyper or crazy. Rest of the evening was awesome. Usually if I dont get my friday nap, Im not pleasant. I was very happy! I even went back to work at 10pm to finish up stuff so I wouldnt have to come back on Saturday.



Stats:


weight: 150 (no change)

11/5 Day 15


workout

Gym partner had to work late, so I hit the treadmill

Warmed up, ran 3 miles and cooled down. Did some situp afterwards.







Overall feelings:


Felt awesome! Usually if JohnyQ misses the gym, I go down in flames, but I was rearing to go! I havent run in a while, so for me to just jump in there and do it was pretty good


Dosing

1 Drive in the moring, 1 Drive 1 RPM prework out.

Does anyone else have this hideous thing of burping up drive every time they take it? I pretty much know its going to happen at this point and prepare for the disgust. No problems with RPM, just the drive.

11/6 Day 16


workout

4x85
3x95
1x100
1x105
Tried 110 twice and got nowhere




Bent BB rows, with SS of arm raises

12x65 9x30
12x64 8x30

Bicep Curls
Im not so good at this...curling the bar is about my limit
bar x10
barx9
barx8
bar x7


Incline DB bench
(target 15-20 reps)

25s x 23
25s x 22

BB shrugs

95 x 12
95 x 12
95 x 12




dosing

1 drive in the morning, 1 drive and 2RPM pre workout.



Overall feelings:


I took two RPM because if I took one, I was going to go nap instead of go to the gym. Well, it did wonders! That stuff rocks. By the time I got to the gym, I was wide awake and ready to go. No horrible caffeine like side effects either. Im a happy camper. Still burping up drive though...



Stats:


weight: 150 (no change)

Btw, the no change in weight is a first, usually I fluctuate between 150 and 153, seems to stay a stable 150, although this may have more to do with the fact Im going to the gym straight after work and not stopping at home first and loading up on snack food.

Ive noticed that my nose bleeds quite often now. This hasnt ever happened before. Could coincidence that it got cold as soon as I started taking these supplements. Any feedback on this? Its not that my nose is gushing blood, I just blow it and its bloody snot, sometimes just tinges of blood but it lasts a couple days.
