Thoughts and Comments
Got an extra 5 lbs on the shoulder press. Shoulders had a hell of a pump from this workout. Never really had a good burn and last as I did today. Today actually did feel like a supercharged workout.

As I said pump has been incredible with these workouts with Drive, but vascularity has not changed much during this log.

One of the main things that I've noticed even during offdays is that muscles feel extremely full and hard. Never has my back have a "full feeling" and my back has had that feeling for the past week.

Recovery has been the same as on regular days...nothing too dramatic. I'm getting DOMS with the same frequency and intensity.

Nice gain on the shoulder press bro!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thoughts and Comments
Damn, I went into this workout with a mindset of wanting to pound up high volume with a good amount of reps to "suprise" my body and legs. I can def say that my endurance has def increased. The leg press was killer...and I've never been able to pound out that many sets with that much weight.

Endurance has def INCREASED!

I also had a huge leg pump...like when I was taking no2 products such as superpump during the workout. It's pretty awesome when you can barely walk out of the gym.

The heightened libido has sort of leveled off after hitting its peak during last week.

One of the best things that I'm noticing while on this product is that my face is not getting puffy while putting on this weight. Usually, the first thing that happens is that the weight goes to my face. I'm at 197 now. I think I'm going to stay at 3200 calories with this log from here on out. It's giving me the .50-.75 lb increase per week with the DRIVE. One of the most important things to me while trying to gain muscle is to limit the fat gain. As a slight endo, that's been one of the toughest things for me.

cool beans! I know the feeling, I blew a moderately clean bulk because it worked so well the first week I added a bit more cals the next and some more the next... in 4 weeks I added 7 or so pounds of lean mass, but also another 6 of fat.

[ahs4n]

Yeah, man...I hate cutting not because of the cardio..but because I manage to get weaker and lose muscle even if I do it slowly...so I'm def trying to ward the fat while gaining the muscle!

[EasyEJL]

I'm managing to consistently gain strength over the last 10 months (other than the 1 month bulk gone wild) now while gaining strenght the whole time, consistently

Thoughts and Comments

Well, I've been alternating the rep scheme...and today I don't even think it was because of the rep scheme...but I FELT A DAMN LOT STRONGER TODAY. Everything good form, felt good and controlled reps with strong negatives while upping each rep 4 reps on every exercise. Felt like I could last forever. Damn... today was good.

Recovery was pretty ****ty...legs were the sorest I've ever been.

I've upped dosage of DRIVE back to 6 because I felt a lot better during the week with the 6 drive, and just felt nothing with 4 drive a day last week.

Log looks good man. Very nice gains. I'm getting ready to start my Drive myself here in the next week. I can't wait! Keep up the good work!

Thoughts Comments
I went with lanbane's suggestion and started off with dumbbells. This workout was a lot more volume and higher rep focused while still going heavy. I didn't get to update yesterday, but I feel like I've been hit by a truck today. That's how sore I am.

I actually think DRIVE has facilitated more DOMS. I really have never been as sore as I have been today since I was on a x-factor cycle for the last 2 weeks.

Vascularity is up which is a suprise. Veins are popping out today in the forearms without working out today on my offday while after the workout it just looked good.

Oh, yeah, I also took 5 RPM, and I feel that hit the spot for the workout. I was used to 4 and 5 just put me in the zone. I felt like a beast in the gym!!

Thoughts and Comments
I really feel that 6 Drive is the magic number for me. Feeling just overall good mentally and physically. Having more aggressive feelings, just more mood uplifting. Strength and endurance is still going up incrementally. Vascularity is also increasing which is a plus for the body fat indication.

I got a question for lanbane or any reps... do you think the DRIVE could faciliate more muscle growth...should I bump my calories even more like 3300 instead of a constant 3200. I've gained 2 lbs in 3 weeks, but I'm just wondering what you AN reps think. A supplement can only do so much without the calories needed for growth. Or should I stick with what I'm doing and check on how much fat loss and muscle growth I can get.

[EasyEJL]

I'd say its worth a shot. An extra 100 cal a day will only translate to half a pound in the next 2 weeks. I'd do it with 25g of carbs added to whichever meal after taking drive is your lowest in carbs currently.

[ahs4n]

Will do...let's see what happens!

Yes- Drive will build lean muscle mass, and do a very good job of it, while at the same time reducing body fat- I would up the calories, but if you do, try to keep them as clean as possible- this is the best way to maximize gains...

Yeah, man all my calories are clean with the exception of eating out with the girl sometimes.
