Thanks to AN for the stack...

6/27

Woke up at 8am and took 2 RPM's and 2 Drives... Ate breakfast then hit the gym about an hour and 15 minutes later

Legs

Squat

135x10
225x6
275x6
315x3
245x10
225x10 X 4 sets

Seated Calf Raises 4 sets

I must say since I don't take any caffeine in my diet two RPM's was too much for me. I weigh 225 right now and they recommend 2-3 pills. My heart started beating way to fast for my liking, and I had a sense of almost being hungover so to speak. I was going to continue my leg workout but decided to cut it short since I really had no drive to continue. I'm going to cut the RPM back to 1 for now and see if that helps. I hope that takes care of the problem and I can fully run this stack and give my honest opinion on it. I will post pictures when the cycle is complete.

My split as of now will be

Monday-Chest and Triceps

Tuesday- Cardio 15mins

Wednesday- Back and Biceps

Thursday- Cardio 15mins

Friday- Legs and Calves

Saturday OR Sunday- light shoulders, forearms and any other bodypart I feel I need to hit more.

Strange man, I'll have to check with Vitruvian to see if there could be any type of reaction.

It could be just getting used to the RPM, I don't think Drive would have anything to do with it.

You could either drop a pill of the RPM, or try it without the RPM for a day and see if you have any reaction to Drive alone, then if not add in 1 pill of RPM at the next workout.

How do you feel after taking them without working out?

I took my second dose of drive (two more pills) and feel fine. So its definately not the DRIVE. I'm going to drop down to 1 RPM and see how that goes for tomorrow.

Good call man. Start with 1 cap and work up, or possibly try 2 again with a small amount of food to lessen the feel.

Drive used in combination w/ RPM will increase the overall impact of each product, so you may be able to manipulate dosing times a bit to work things out as well.

6/28

Make up day... hit traps.. shoulders.. and a little back

I took one RPM and one drive after breakfast and about two hours laters I got the runs. My stomach was flip flopping and aching.

Took a second dose of 1 RPM and 1 Drive at 830pm and hit the gym at 930.

Workout was fine but still developed a small headache and unclear sense of well being. Stomach was in knots too.

I really dont think I can continue using this stack. I'm going to the bathroom 5-6 times a day and I cant handle the feeling of headaches and "foggy" type sense of well being. I'm at the lowest dosage and still cant handle it. Could this product not be for some people?

Chris, as Vitruvian told me some people are really effected by some of the ingredients and some aren't. Could be that your stomach is like mine where Drive irritates it, but right now in I'm totally fine with taking it. You definitely should start slow and build it up if you decide to continue.

If you want an idea of what could be the problem it could be a mix between the forslean and the naringin in DRIVE. It takes some people quite a bit to get used to forslean and naringin has the propensity for interacting adversely sometimes with people...are you taking any prescriptions or anything or is there anything else you are taking? Naringin while a great substance to use can be a thorn in the side to so thats why I ask...not only does it help inhibit aromatase (estrogen control) it also extends the half life of other substances in the blood stream...especially caffeine. Anyway, just checking to see if I can help ya out bud.

Cheers!

I had to stop taking the stack. I'm not on any prescription drugs. I couldnt handle going to the bathroom 6-8 times a day. I wish this stack would have worked for me like it has for a lot of people on here.

Big Ben, Vitruvian-

I am very interested in taking this stack for my own benefit as well as other benefit by continuing what chris started, since he was unable to complete it. Is there anyway to become a product tester for this stack so I can log it in BN forums for everyone to see?

That'd be bullshit if they let you IMO..
