Get Diesel R4W + AN Drive Log

R4W + DRIVE LOG

I will be starting this log today. I have been on Drive for a little over 30 days solo. I had tried RPM prior for about 9 workouts. With all the hype out there regarding Drive and RPM combo, I would like to see how Get Diesel's R4W compares. I will be logging this until both products are finished. I would like to thank Chuck for letting me try this product out. I plan to be completely honest and if I don't like the product, I will post it as I have no invested interested in either product. I will evaluate in the following fashion:

• Dose:
• Strength:
• Bodyweight/Body Comp:
• Pumps/Vascularity:
• Endurance:
• Aggression:
• Focus:
• Libido:
• Muscle Density/Hardening:
• Overall Energy:
• Personal Commentary:

Subbed. Will be interesting seeing the RPM vs. R4W comparison. Good luck!

joebo · 11-10-2007, 08:24 PM

DAY 1
• Dose:3 Drive in the morning, 4 Drive pre-workout
1 Capsule R4W pre-workout
• Strength:Added 5lbs on my standing military press today for reps. All other exercises went well too, but this was notable.
• Bodyweight/Body Comp:Will have to weigh in.
• Pumps/Vascularity:Good pumps. Did shoulders and abs today so I didn't see a whole lot of vascularity
• Endurance:Great! I breezed through the workout
• Aggression:n/a
• Focus:I was extremely focused. Although I only took 1 R4W i could feel its potential. I think 2 capsules will be a good dose for me, which I will try next.
• Libido:n/a
• Muscle Density/Hardening:I've been pretty solid all day long for the past few weeks
• Overall Energy:Impressed for only one capsule of R4W, can't wait to give two a try during my next workout.
• Personal Commentary:Based on one capsule to judge the potency of R4W, I def think its gonna be a great energy booster. I did get a decent amount of energy from one pill, but I would like a bit more. I did feel very hot during my workout, so I'm assuming i've gotten some of the thermogenic properties even from just one pill. I'm hoping to see a bit of a recomp even more so, now that i'm on R4W.

I like that bullet style of the log, versus 50 lines of what you did during the workout then one sentence at the bottom on the product's effects like most logs.

Real easy to read dosage and comments

Thanks Chuck and I agree. I'm not gonna post my workout and what i'm lifting because honestly, when I read that in people's logs I usually think they are e-lifting a bit. I'm just gonna give my opinion and let people know if it works or not. I've been burned on supps too many times because for whatever reason when these things get logged, people are making steroid like gains(when they are sponsored logs) and then after the fact people don't see anything like that. Just tryin to keep it real. I wish i would have picked up a tub of NOS Ether when it was on sale for 25 bucks to stack with this. Maybe next time around..

DAY 3

joebo · 11-14-2007, 07:41 AM

DAY 4
• Dose:3 Drive in the morning, 4 Drive early evening
1 R4W 1hr preworkout on empty stomach
• Strength:Increasted 5 lbs on my incline bench for reps
• Bodyweight/Body Comp:Need to weigh in.
• Pumps/Vascularity:Pumps weren't as good as usual yesterday. Not sure why.
• Endurance:Excellent
• Aggression:n/a
• Focus:Good sense of focus while on R4W
• Libido:n/a
• Muscle Density/Hardening:Muscle firm and hard almost 24/7
• Overall Energy:I think I will need to bump up to 2 R4W. 1 is ok for a slight energy, but nothing drastic. Great for a late workout like i had yeserday. Gonna pop two tomorrow.
• Personal Commentary:One thing I noticed and I don't think its placebo or just environmental change is the thermogenic properties of R4W. I was sweating bullets at the gym and was warm all night afterwards. I hope this increases when i up the dose to 2. If it does, I can see this being a great fat burner as well and should provide an excellent recomp effect overall. Chuck, would it be ok if I add NOS Ether to this stack?? Just checkin' first..

might as well take it to the next level...

**VolcomX311** · 11-14-2007, 11:18 AM

I love the conciseness. I think there's a bit of e-lifting when I read logs too, and some people get out of hand and write about parts of their lives that have nothing to do with the product or even their lifting habits in general (like their party experiences that weekend... uhhh, not interested). I'll be following your log. Clear and concise, it's much appreciated

bludevil · 11-14-2007, 11:43 AM

Agree, very nice layout. I think I'm going to steal your design/layout for my Trib Test Extreme log.

Go for it, but this was originally posted by lanbane as an example for the 14 day Drive logs.. So he should really get the credit.

EasyEJL · 11-14-2007, 11:56 AM

it definitely hits the points most of us care most about, and doesn't have a ton of filler

joebo · 11-15-2007, 07:24 AM

DAY 5
• Dose:3 Drive in the morning, 4 Drive Pre-workout
1 R4W 1hr preworkout on empty stomach
• Strength:Added 1.5 reps onto my weighted pullups, added 10lbs to my lat pulls
• Bodyweight/Body Comp:Need to weigh in.
• Pumps/Vascularity:Pumps were very short lived
• Endurance:Excellent
• Aggression:n/a
• Focus:Good sense of focus while on R4W
• Libido:n/a
• Muscle Density/Hardening:Muscle firm and hard almost 24/7
• Overall Energy:I think I will need to bump up to 2 R4W. 1 is ok for a slight energy, but nothing drastic. I meant to up to 2 R4W, but typically this would be an off day for me, but I decided to go and it was kind of late....
• Personal Commentary:The only thing im noticing really from R4W right now is extreme thermogenics for just 1 capsule. The energy from one pill def leaves something to be desired. Today will be an off day, but friday i will be sure to dose 2 caps of R4W. I've always been a pre-workout concoction drink guy, so poppin' pills pre-workout is a bit different. We will see what 2 R4W can do. I was gonna add Nos Ether to this, but a root canal popped its head up for me and i ended up with almost 1k out of pocket once my insurance max was met. Plus I just bought an engagement ring, so supplements even though on sale, must take a back seat. But without a doubt the thermogenics are extreme. I was burning up off one capsule

i hear ya about the thermo effects, i did 3 caps yesturday and just popped 3 about 10 minutes ago. i feel almost no stim effects but DEFINITELY thermo effects....i sweat my balls off starting 1 hour post workout (about 3pm) until about 11pm

joebo · 11-15-2007, 01:11 PM

The stim effects do seem very mild, but I think everyone is so used to products loaded with caffeine. I know I am. When i think of stims, i think jittery or that burst of energy. It seems as though R4W is much more of a smooth energy rather than a heart pounding roller coaster ride with a crash at the end. I do LOVE the thermo effects. Sweating=6 Pack!!

i actually thing the r4w are have a strong stim effect, but I have never used these proprietary blend, 400mg of caffeine products and take very little caffeine during the day or pre-workout.

I think its a strong stim as well, just not your typical proprietary blend, run of the mill, every company has one, pre-workout drink.

EasyEJL · 11-16-2007, 07:57 AM

I ordered some nos ether, I can't wait to try it

I was sweating my ass off too, very strong thermogenic. Nothing to note obviously at this point on NOS Ether. Hopefully it will start working its magic by the end of this coming week. STAY TUNED!

Yes, according to the directions it says there is a 3 day reverse load. So i followed those directions which stated 2 scoops immediately following workout. Am I mistaken??

joebo · 11-18-2007, 10:06 AM

Today is probably going to be an off day, so i will consume 2 scoop total. 1 scoop before 2 meals.
