So RPM & Drive is totally legal and causes no harm to the body?
I know it's quite expensive but if it does make a good difference than it is worth it. How comes I've never heard about these supplements before? All I ever heard of was Creatine and Protein.
I've heard of other supplements like Zinc and that. I am a sprinter so I'm looking for a lot of aggression as that's what the sport is all about. I need the power and aggression I seem to be lacking right now. Sometimes I have that power but most of the time I'm lacking in it, like maybe low in testosterone?
Could you explain more about RPM and Drive and would you know any other good supplements to take for the sprinter? Thanks
Yes, RPM and Drive are totally legal and cause no harm to the body.
RPM and Drive are definitely worth it. I personally use these products and it makes a huge difference to my training and performance.
My experience with RPM
Unlike other stimulants RPM provides me with a smooth, focussed energy (as opposed to jittery, restless energy). In the gym I am calm and almost RELAXED. Training sessions seem to move in slow-motion, and sometimes I cannot believe that an hour has ALREADY passed (when it seems like I've only been in there for a few minutes). Being an aggressive person by nature, on RPM I can amplify that aggression and channel it into my training, thus providing me with better quality sessions. RPM also adds just that much more to my pump and vascularity: The pumps are great, and are painful at times, with vascularity ropes and knots of blue snaking up arms and legs.
My experience with Drive
Unlike the 7-10 days that it takes for males to notice the effects of Drive it takes me 3 weeks for Drive to kick in. However, once it does I notice greater endurance (and my endurance is pretty high as it is), especially for HIIT sessions. I also notice increased SPEED when doing such sessions, as well as with my running; over 8 weeks I went from doing 4.5 min/km to 3.8 min/km over a 5.5km distance. Mood and libido both increase as well, along with muscular strength...Stacked with Activate Xtreme and IGF-2, this makes a lethal stack for gains in muscle mass and strength. Stacked with RPM, this makes an awesome stack for leaning out and increasing performance.
There are far more supplements out there than creatine, protein and zinc. Just take a look at NutraPlanet; there are products ranging from preworkout powders to testosterone boosters to cortisol control products to joint support to topicals and so much more.
Actually, sprinting is NOT about aggression, but more about power and speed and a few other variables.
Just because you only "sometimes" have power does NOT mean that you are lacking in testosterone; it could be a variety of factors, including incorrect nutrition or training, etc.
For information on how RPM and Drive work, read the
Product Overview and
Technical Write-up for each product at:

Applied Nutriceuticals - RPM

Applied Nutriceuticals - Drive
As a sprinter, creatine is a definite supplement to be using, especially as sprinting is an anaerobic event; and if you are resistance training (as you should be) then it is, IMO, a definite requirement. A multivitamin is a definite for everyone, regardless of whether you are training or not. Good fats (if you do not get them from your diet) are also good to supplement with. Protein powder is fine to use to ensure that you're meeting your protein intake requirements (again, if you do not get enough protein from your diet, or for convenience when eating real food can't happen).
I do not recommend any other supplements, aside from perhaps a preworkout product (i.e. which is what RPM is), as you are new to supplements.
If you are looking to increase your power, then you must be doing resistance training as well as sprint training, especially in the off-season. It is your spend time in the gym doing resistance training, that will increase your strength and power (provided that you are training correctly for it), which will in turn translate into explosiveness and speed.
Re supplements and RPM and Drive for a sprinter, I suggest that you read these threads (this topic has already been covered well):
