11/13 was a day of rest..after work,,making dinner...started a fire in the den and watched Shrek III with the kids-quite funny and nice relaxing day-was focused the whole day-but two major +'s are no major crash from Drive/RPM and the ability to fall asleep fine

Your log has finalized my girl freind's decision to do a run of Drive/ RPM. She's not a high performance athelete like yourself, but she's doing a shoot in Januray and she wants to look fitter in it than she ever has. I might try and convince her to log it.

go for it..I think the woman that train hard for sport,competition,photo shoots,or just for thereself are an untapped market-usually you will find in this male dominated world-it is usually a strong spouse who pushes us women to log and talk about our expierences..if I can be any help just holler

actually I am so fired up from this stack and where it has gotten me so early in "my offseason" that I have the hubbie looking thru Powerlifting uSA to find a possible raw meet..haven't powerlifted since 1998(when I won the lifetime drug free nationals at 165) when I got into strongwoman & highland games..back in 98 I could squat 395..bench 125(yes I know pathetic at the time)..deadlift 400..thru the years of listening to my husband-interacting with some great strength coaches(McDermott,Thibadeu,Sim mons,Kenn,and the understanding of Westside) know drug free and raw could do 425+++ in squat..205 + in bench(pause of course),,and over 375 in deadlift(this is the only lift that is down due to some nerve damage(old PD injury) that limits grip strength and pulling(but have deadlifted 515 w/straps from 18 inches at a strongwoamn contest at 175lbs)

One other thing...AGE IS JUST A NUMBER-DON"T LET IT HOLD ANYONE BACK!!!!

Day 17-sat 11/17 as my hectic schedule played mom's taxi-but had plenty of energy all day(thank god my husband has me lifting every other day!)..did get a 2 mile walk/run in while my son was at play practice went to the school across the street strapped on the cross trainers and did a nice jog jyust to do something(DOSAGE WAS 2 DRIVE/1 RPM 2X).nice susatined energy

Day 18-Approaching the 3 week mark and no signs of letting up...sunday 11/18,,since this day would be no less hectic than anything in my life-I squeeked a workout in by dropping son off at practice and my husband leaving his basketball tournament(he's a coach) and we met halfway at his old gym-where since I may do a powerlifting meet in Feb(tough to find a 3 lift meet around-ton's of push/pull but I want a raw squat record)was going to try and max on bench(with pause-no shirt) to see where my weak lift is
Bike 5 mins (usually don't warmup for abench workout but hubby was a bit late!)
Barbell Bench Press (all with legal pause)after w/up
155 X 1(opened conservatily-just want to see where I am)
180 X 1(ok but need to stay tighter on the way down)
190 X 1(by getting a bit of an arch-and staying tighter blew it up)
205(207 with keepers) x 1(judge said I might not have gotten it as was alittle uneven on lockout but my husband said it barely noticable-NEED LOCKOUT POWER!
135 X 5 reps as a cool down all with a pause

quick workout finshed grabbed a smoothie and back to the play...took 2 Drive + 1 RPM in am....at 12:30 workout took 3 drive + 3 RPM 45 minutes earlier + 1 RPM dissolved in grapefruit juice right at workout time...great pump/focus and if I didn't have to get my son and my husband back to the tournamnet might have done 45 minutes on the eliptical.....
ONE question-do people get a LOT of gas on this product???haven't changed the diet a whole lot(except to increase protein-which Ive done before)..just wondering

Its a forskolin tolerance thing. it may go away. Its a very individual thing, like I don't get gas from it, but if I go from not taking anything with forskolin in it to full dose all of a sudden, I get soft bowel movements. So I have to ramp up. Others get gas, but sometimes it disappears after a while..

thanks..I am getting it(only bad side effect) and ton's of positive one's
