First log ever so excuse any mistakes.
I'll start by thanking WANTED and focused nutrition for taking a chance on a newbie.

First off im not your usual person here,i dont lift for looks or competition. I lift to live.im a recovering alcoholic, sober 2 years.the gym is my drug of choice now.the body and strength that has come with it is just a bi-product of my new addiction.

Now to hercules!Invalid Link Removed

As you can see its pretty well stacked with stims.thats what i look for in pwo.i try to stay at 300 mg on caffeine and anything else it has is just a bonus.

My workouts are in 4 day runs and i may or may not take an off day after the 4 days.example is this:
Tuesday=chest
Wednesdays =arms (complete arms)
Thursday = legs
Friday=shoulders and back
Abs 5 minutes every day.
I can answer any questions as the log progresses.looking forward to morning to give this monster a run.
 
Congratulations on your sobriety man. The gym has definitely helped me cut back on some of my bad habits. Heads up, one serving of the pre workout is 3/4 of the scoop. I believe the whole scoop is around 400-450mg of caffeine. Good luck with your log man!

Thanks brother.
 
Im excited about it.i love a good pwo.i really enjoy discussing anything to do with lifting in general.im a junkie i guess.
 
Day 1

Today was chest day,and its always a fun day.hercules had me fired up and ready to get out the door.didnt excpect it to taste good(most pres dont).it was pretty tasty (fruit punch).so on to the workout.i do 5×5 heavy as possible.today i went heavier than usual. Not saying the pwo made me stronger after one use but it did make me want to do more.also today i didnt want to leave the gym and thats a good pwos winning factor to me.now if it will just hold the test of time.will update tomorrow.

Yep dude we're all here following bro for sure. I'm pretty sure your the only one doing a whole scoop every day. It's cool your not becoming resistant at all & no headache is a good thing.
 
Nothing is better than Colombian coffee, unless herc is columbian coffee flavored, has to take a 2nd best in the morning unfortunately. Maybe pre-workout number 1 but not in the morning sir.

Strong workout man, any reason you're doing bench before dumbbell press?
 
I've just always been told that you work more muscles from flat dumbbell press then you do from bench press, so I like to use the db first to work the stabilizers then move to bench and be warmed up

if your arms are weak/lagging... you said it yourself you lift to live. so really who cares what other people think about the volume you put in to one group of muscles?

Sorry for the late response. I was on vacation over the weekend.
Dude nice arm workout. Sh*t that does seem like quite a bit to spend on just arms but , looks like you killed it! Your arms are probly huge :)
Good job
 
Lol never measured them but i seldom wear sleeves (to tight).im still responding great to the hercules.never had a pwo to keep working use after use.
 
sorry for the delay,but heres my breakdown of this pwo hercules

Energy/focus 10 of 10
This was the dream pwo for energy.ive had other pwos with great energy but they always left me crashed later.focus was spot on.id put on my tunes and nothing existed except me and the workout in
mind.

Sustainability 10 of 10
From day one up to today it worked.i started with one 1/2 scoop and worked to one scoop.time and again it delivered.

Drive 10 of 10
Kept me wanting more and more just about every day.this can be good or bad depending on the person.for me a big plus.

Side effects 9 of 10
The only issue i had was jitters at the start of a couple of workouts,but they faded quickly.

Price/availability 8 of 10
The price is fair compared to other pwos.
Could only find it at a couple of places but it is available.

Overall 9 of 10
Its a great pwo,but if you are sensitive to the shakes of yohimbine then may not be for you.all others give it a try.im no newbie to pwos ive probally tried over 50 or more.i will put this in the top 5 and 3 of this 5 aren't available and the other is expensive.

Any question?
