RPM & Drive [Sponsored Log]




It's on again, fellas !

First off, I'd like to thank the AN reps for letting me take their Ultimate re-comp stack for a run ! I've only tried samples of both products before, yet I've found myself recommending the stack to buddies at the gym, solely based on my experience with each individual sample ! And every one of my buds were stoked about their results !

Now, it's my turn, and I've got a feeling I can take much better advantage of this stack's great growth potential !


I've been dieting following the U.D 2.0 routine for the past 5 weeks, but now it's time for me to switch it up a little bit. At least for the first two weeks of this cycle, I will go back to basics, and separate my muscle groups. I won't be doing full body routines any longer, because I want to feel 'da PUMP' again ! I want to spend an hour and a half for biceps and triceps; I want to super-set shoulder exercises till I've got capped and rounded delts people will be in awe of; I want to hit my legs so hard I can't walk for days, and get that jacked feeling I haven't truly felt in a while as a result of constant glygocen depletion for the past 5 weeks (excluding my past carb-loads).


For my first week, I will focus on brutal morning sessions of cardio, and try to reap the benefits of some quick carbs in my system immidiately following my weight-training workouts in the evening. I will not increase carb-intake in the morning nor afternoon, but like I mentioned, I will at times at a couple grams of carbs pre-workout, use some WMS in my intra-workout drink, and follow my workout with a steak, vegetables and rice meal every day. I will change the amounts accordingly, nothing is yet written in stone. For week two, I will most likely add 20 minutes of HIT training post-workout, if I feel like my fat loss subsided or I get bloated for whatever reason. That's left to find out.


My goal is still to get as shredded as I can. I will look further into the TKD diet during this week, and I will most likely give that a run if I feel like my carb-timing isn't working out for me. But at the same time, I want to get stronger, break some more personal records, attain impressive vascularity and muscle definition .. I want it all, and I just want this stack started and get me in the direction I want to go !

[I began the products as soon as they came in the mail yesterday, as I'd just get confused if I started a log on a Tuesday .. It's got to be at the beginning of the week ! So I copied and pasted yesterday's Leg Workout - Day #1 of the RPM/Drive stack - in here]


Day #1 of RPM/Drive - LEG DAY, BABY !

Popped 4 caps of each RPM and Drive about 45 minutes prior to working out. Mixed 4 scoops of Xtend with 25 grams of WMS and 4 grams of Beta Alanine in 3/4 gallon water.

Today was legs ONLY, first time in too long. I knew it had to be short and sweet because I've got a looong night ahead of me in front of the books.


Hack Squats - (225 * 12) 360 * 12, 450 * 6, 450 * 6, 450 * 5, 450 * 5
One-legged Horizontal Leg Press - 135 * 15, 180 * 12, 225 * 8, 225 * 8

Walking Dumbbell Lunges (w/60 lbs DB/hand) - 10 steps/leg * 4 sets
Standing One-legged Leg Curls - 60 * 12, 60 * 12

- It took me 35 minutes to complete this workout, and I was SOAKED by the time I did my third set of Hack Squats. My intensity was above and beyond, and my focus even more so. My endurance, stamina, and drive is unmatched at my gym, I know it, they know it, everyone knows it. My kind of intensity is more taboo than anything. I'm the silent nut-case who don't get eye contact with anyone up there, nor to I speak to anyone. I'm cocky in the sense that I'm there for one reason, and one reason only, to hit the weights with all my might. If I see a buddy, my headphones won't leave my ears, and I'll just nod. They know what's up by now, they respect the fact that I don't socialize. They don't respect my natural results, though, so fcuk them ! Been talking to a couple buds outside of the gym lately, and there's noone who's not convinced I'm using. Fcuk 'em. Haters. Todays' leg workout was sick. Heavy ass rock bottom hack squats got me off to a good start, and the concentrated one-legged horizontal leg presses allow me to fill every muscle cell in my quads and hams with blood. My legs were throbbing as I was doing my last two sets, but I wasn't gonna stop till I had my reps. I was drenched before I even got to my second exercise, and I had thrown off my pants before the second working set on hacks to see what was going on down there. LOL. My legs godt jacked. Veins running across my quads, and overall impressive leg-development. Calves and hams are coming in, and I couldn't be happier. I'm gonna give some credit to all the running I do for some of my calf developement, because I've been cutting down on the calf work the past couple of weeks. My hams were spasming from the first lunge-rep, but I knew I had four sets to do, and that was all there was to it. Normally I'd use 50s on lunges for the same amount of reps, whereas now I'm using 60s and doing the same reps and sets. I was lunging down the 'main strip' inside the gym, but I wasn't gonna fcuking yield for anyone. 'Move bit$hes, I'm in the middle of my set!' was my motivation. I kept my head down and stared at my legs for every rep. It kept me going to see the veins and muscle throbbing for each lunge. It didn't hurt that it was the top of the hour at the gym, and it was packed either .. that never hurts !

Well, that's Day #1 of my RPM/Drive recomp combo down in the history books. It's only gonna go uphill from here. More records to break. More heads to turn. More shock and awe to come. It has only begun !

Day #2

AM Cardio

- Woke up @ 6.45AM, choked down 3 caps of Drive alongside 4 caps of AMP. Laid back down, and got up at 7.30 AM, had a shake, and hit the Stairmaster at 8AM.

Stairmaster; Fat burning mode; level 8 for 30 minutes; followed by level 6 for 10 minutes.

- I was sweating like a pig in heat .. But I'm definitely enjoying early AM cardio. Gets me up and ready for the day !

[Norwegian]

My dosing:

RPM - 4 caps about 60-90 minutes pre-workout
Drive - 3 caps in AM, another 3 caps 60-90 minutes pre-workout

I will be running two consecutive bottles of Drive, and one bottle of RPM.

I'm about to head off for the gym to do some arms, but I should be back in a couple of hours !

Day #2: Arms

Barbell Curls - 95 * 15, 115 * 12, 135 * 10, 155 * 8 -> Drop -> 95 * 10
Seated DB Curls - 30 * 15, 40 * 12, 50 * 10, 60 * 10
Uni-arm Machine Curls - 100 * 15, 140 * 15, 150 * 12
One-arm Machine Preacher Curls - 60 * 10, 60 * 10
Concentration Curls - 25 * 12, 25 * 12

EZ-bar Pressdowns - 100 * 15, 110 * 12, 120 * 12, 130 * 10
Seated Overhead DB Extensions - 110 * 15, 120 * 12, 130 * 10
Machine Overhead Extensions - 150 * 15, 160 * 12
Rope Pressdowns - 40 * 20, 50 * 15, 60 * 15
One-arm Overhead Extensions - 30 * 12, 30 * 12, 30 * 12

- My focus was awesome throughout the whole session, and I got a hellacious pump in my entire upper body. The pump made my arms look twice the size they normally are. Once I completed my workout I took my shirt off in the locker room, and I was very impressed with my back. It looked like I had slabs/chunks of meat and muscle on it, and every muscle was standing out. I was looking great from the back and side, really broad and wide. My shoulder width has gotten impressive, and my traps are more pronounced than ever before. I swear, my back and traps have grown in record time since I began doing those heavy-a$$ deadlifts ! My cuts are coming in real nicely in my chest as well. I'm hoping to have my old roommate take a couple pics or something at the end of this week so I've got something to show for from the get-go. I don't want to keep talking like this without having proof .. lol

I've had digestion issues for a couple days, and it's seriously fcuking with my head by now. Actually, I don't think my digestion has been back to normal since before I began last week's carb-load! I had three bathroom break prior to hitting the gym, and thought I was gonna have to keep postponing the work out. I hate working out when my stomach's not right ! And it just makes me feel bloated and un-relieved .. hope that's not too much info, but I think some of you have been in my shoes before.

I had lots more energy to keep going, but there's no sense in over-doing it. I've got a full jug of NOW CarboGain that I will be using with my post-workout protein shake. 50 grams of complex carbs with 50 grams of whey, followed by 50 grams of complex carbs from rice and veggies [alongside of chicken or steak] one hour upon completion of my workout. I mentioned before I would add WMS or perhaps a carb-meal prior to working out, but I've decided not to. I'm gonna stay very much restricted with my carbs still, and will only consume the 100 grams total carbs that I've mentioned following my workout. I've got a feeling I'm gonna make myself deserving of every one of those dinners following my workouts !

I'm excited to see what is to come . . .

RPM's the truth

if the "runs for the border" keep happening, you may want to lower the drive dose for 3-4 days, then raise it back up. forslean does that to some people, requires a little tolerance building

Sorry, I may have confused you .. That's the problem .. no relief, hence little runs for the border .. I've been wondering how come I've had no issues ('clogging') so far during my U.D 2.0 but I was just happy I didn't have issues .. But then I jinxed myself I guess, because since end of last week (beginning of carb-load last Thursday), my stomach's been messed up. No regularity .. I don't want to give too great of a description, I'm just hoping I'll start functioning again soon.

Day #3: AM Cardio

Stairmaster; 60 minutes on Level 8 on Fat-burning mode

- If other people can do it, why shouldn't I be able to stair-step for one consecutive hour ?! haha, that was all that I had on my mind when I hit the gym this morning. Once again, referring to VolcomX311 [must be some kind of un-conscious competition I've got going here] but nevertheless, I completed 60 minutes, and started off the day burning 822 calories. Not too shabby !

I woke up @ 7AM, popped 3 Drive and 3 JetFuel with a glass of water @ 7.30AM. Mixed to scoops of ON Whey w/16 grams of MCT oil and enjoyed it on my way to school. I also mixed 2 scoops of Xtend with 4 grams of Beta Alanine and took it to my 8AM class. Hit the gym @ 9AM sharp.

I will be using JetFuel only prior to my morning cardio sessions (unless it's an off day from the weights, and I will use
