Appnut - RPM & DRIVE - MINI LOG!

[Heizz]

Hey all,

APP NUT has been AWESOME in hooking an North Canadian up with a believer bottle of RPM & Drive (25caps each)



This will be a mini-log seeing as it'll last roughly two weeks, depending on dosage.

So, Who am I?

I'm currently working a co-op job in Fort McMurray, Canada. I attend Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS, studying Chemical Engineering. I love lifting weights, and have been doing so for roughly 2 years now. I plan to bust out some hard workouts with this stack, and to overall keep cutting down some weight while maintaining some strength.

My current stats are:
Age: 21
Weight: 200 lbs
Plan: Cutting
Previous Pre-Workout Supps: Craze, SP Max, etc.

My workout routine is:
Sunday - Upper Body (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
Monday - Lower Body (Legs, Biceps, Legs)
Tuesday - Rest
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - Upper Body (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
Friday - Lower Body (Legs, Biceps, Legs)
Saturday - Rest

and my rep routine changes weekly:
Week 1: Normal 3x12,10,8
Week 2: Dropsets (on 2-3 exercises)
Week 3: Tri-Sets (on 2-3 exercises)
Week 4: 28's (on 2-3 exercises)
Then repeat with exercises in different orders. I stick to mainly weights, though I casually run while on a cut.

Nutrition: I have always been an IIFYM type of guy, however, recently I started doing IF. I fast from 10pm-2pm and feed from 2pm-10pm. I initially thought this would be hard to adapt, but I love it. My current macros are:
2855 calories, broken down into
250g Protein
250g Carbs
95g Fats

Current Supplements:
Protein Blend - Trutein, Myofusion
Multi Vitamin - Orange Triad
Pre-Workout - RPM/Drive
Creatine Monohydrate
Fish Oil

I will be posting up pics soon, although you may not see too much change over the short mini-log. Tonight I'm headed to the gym for Chest/Shoulders/Tri's, and my reps will be trisets.

Again, reviews in the past have been amazing for this product, and this will be my first log. So, I encourage you all to join me.

LIFT ON,

[MrAnaconda]

I've been a stim PWO junkie for a while now, and considering starting my dose at 3 and 3.

Thoughts?

& do any reps know the caffiene per cap of RPM?

That's what I do. 100 mg/pill.

Looking forward to reading all your thoughts, man! Get after it!

Sub some Neovar in for your creatine mono for a few days prior to a carb meal, a few hours before your workout;-) Let us know what you think a little while later.

Can you say, "PUMP!?!" great suggestion right here.

Getting the neovar figured out will result in some crazy pumps lol. 3 caps should be a decent starting spot.

Yesterday, June 21st, I hit tri's/shoulders/chest at the gym.

This was my first day taking the RPM/Drive Stack, and I dosed at 3 caps each about one hour PWO.

Today was tri-set day. A tri-set is having a rep scheme of 12, 10, 8, 6*, 6*, 6*. Those final 6* are done with only 30 seconds rest inbetween.

My workout looked something like this:

Warm-up: 50 slow pushups

Tricep:
Weighted Dips TRISET: 12xBW, 10xBW+20, 8xBW+25, 6xBW+30, 4xBW+30, 3xBW+30
Z Bar Tricep Ext.: 12x60, 10x60
-->SS: One arm tricep ext.: 8x20, 6x20
Cable Exts: 12x30, 10x40, 8x45

Shoulders:
Barbell Trap Rasies: 12x95, 10x115, 6x135
-->DB Shrugs: 12x90, 12x90, 12x90
Military DB Press TRISET: 12x45, 10x50, 7x55, 6x60, 4x60, 2x60
Standing Incline Barbell Shoulder Press: 12x45, 10x55
-->SS Incline Barbell Raise: 12x45, 10x55

Chest:
Barbell Bench Press TRISET: 12x145, 10x165, 7x185, 6x185, 4x185, 3x185 ( i was extremely dead here)
DB Chest Press: 12x70, 10x70, 6x70 (trisets ruined me)
-->SS: DB Fly's: 25x8, 25x8, 25x8

**Note "-->SS" is superset.

I was SOAKED by the end of this workout. My strength was not there, due to tri-sets flat out KILLING me. The gym was extremely packed, which sucks, because there were a few times we had to weight for one bench or another.

Overall, I know I'm more of a powder guy rather than capsule, but energy was still present. I'd like to feel a little more of a pump, but as the reps said above, adding Neovar may do that.

I'm pumping of back/bi's/legs tonight, and will keep y'all posted!

PS, just wrapped up my previous log, and final pics can be found here:

LIFT ON,

[drooks10]

Good to see you got in a good workout! Looks brutal.

I used to be a powder guy, too, but I've found pills to be more convenient. I think if you continue using our products, you will defect to the pill-side, too! Haha.

Interested to see your take on some Neovar use

With neovar he would blow up lol. It is sick for that last little kick of energy to get the reps out

SUPER busy weekend, sorry for the non-updates, however, I still had time to BUST it in the gym.

So, June 22nd, I worked Back and Bi's. This is usually leg day, however when I did the Hip Abductor machine on June 20th, I pulled/strained a muscle in my groin area. I didn't actuially feel it until the morning of the 22nd, found it hard to even move. Not good. However, it had eased up by night time, and I still wanted to gym, so I just targeted back and bi's and planned to do legs on the 23rd (off day).

I dosed my PWO at 3 Drive, 3 RPM and 4 Neovar caps one hour before hitting the gym. I added the neovar for an extra kick and/or pump.

My workout looked something like this:
Back:
Weighted Pull-ups: 12xBW, 10xBW+20lbs, 8xBW+30lbs, 6xBW+40lbs, 4xBW+40lbs, 2xBW+40lbs (triset)
Barbell Rows: 12x135, 10x165, 8x185, 6x195, 5x195, 3x195 (tri-set)
Close Grip Pulldowns: 12x160, 10x175, 8x190
--> SS: Hyper-extensions: 12, 12, 12
Seated Machine Rows: 12x160, 10x175, 8x175

Biceps:
Weighted Chin Ups:12xBW, 10xBW+20lbs, 7xBW+30lbs, 6xBW+40lbs, 5xBW+40lbs, 4xBW+40lbs (triset)
DB Hammer Curls: 12x30, 12x35, 8x40, 5x45, 4x45, 2x45 (tri-set) (super exhausted)
Laying down Cable Curls: 10x80, 9x80, 10x80
-->> SS Barbell Z Curls: 10x80, 8x80, 8x80
Incline DB Curl: 12x30, 12x30

After this workout I was dripping sweat like crazy. I usually feel a great pump on back/bi day, but this felt great, which could have been aided by the neovar. Energy and stamia was present in this workout, and I felt great leaving the gym. No bad side effects to account for.

The groin was still hurting on saturday, so instead of risking the injury, I just took the day off.
I'll be posting up Sunday's workout shortly.

Def felt the extra kick on back/bi day, interested in this for some chest action!

The groin was still hurting on saturday,

1. I have been seeing this in a lot of AppNut logs lately. People are getting drenched in sweat
2. If I have a pulled feeling between my thighs and belly button or so I dont risk it. I had a serious hernia at one point.

Awesome man! good to see that you benefitted from the stack. I'm telling you, it only gets better....

Hope your groin heals up quickly. I pulled mine a couple of years ago, and it took forever to heal. Sucks because you don't realize how much it impacts all your lifts until you injure it.

Looking forward to the next update!

Hey y'all, work has been SUPER busy, but I've still been bustin' it at the gym. Here to update now.

On Sunday, June 24th, I hit Chest, Tri's, and Shoulders.

My PWO stack consisted of:
3 cap Drive
3 cap RPM

The workout looked like this:

Tricep:
Bench Dips: 12, 12, 12
-->SS Close Grip Pushups: 10, 10, 8
Close Grip Bench Machine: 12x90, 10x115, 8x135, 6x145, 4x135, 2x135 (tri-set)
Single-arm seated tri-ext: 12x25, 10x30, 8x30

Shoulders:
Barbell Trap Raise: 12x95, 10x105, 9x115
-->SS Rev Barbell shrugs: 12x135, 10x185, 8x185
DB Arnold Press: 12x40, 10x45, 8x50, 6x55, 4x55, 4x55 (tri-set)
DB Lateral Raise: 8x20, 8x20, 8x20

Chest:
Incline Barbell Press: 12x115, 12x145, 10x165, 5x185, 4x185, 2x185
DB Bench Press: 12x70, 10x80, 8x80
-->SS Flat DB Flies: 10x25, 10x27.5, 10x27.5

The workout was more going through the motions, my gym partner was sick and I had to bust some motivation out alone. My beats by dre cord snapped the previous day, so I had to rock out to some lame headphones, got another cord on ebay coming in, and hopefully it gets here soon.

Yesterday, June 26th, was supposed to be Back/Bi’s/Legs day, however, I was still skeptical on my strained groin, so I once again opted out of legs. I’d rather be safe than sorry. My gym partner was still sick and the girlfriend was feeling ill as well, so no partners once again. Not too big of an issue today though, back/bi’s require little/no spotters.

My PWO consisted of:
2 cap Drive
2cap RPM
3 SNS Beta-Alanine caps

Back:
Deadlifts: 12x135, 12x205, 10x245, 6x285, 5x315, 2x315 (wanted to go higher reps, but my hands were just too slippery…)
Incline Barbell Row (close-grip): 12x90, 12x135, 10x180, 6x205, 4x205, 2x205 (tri-set)
Single Arm DB Row: 12x85, 8x100
Incline Machine Row (wider grip): 12x70, 9x90, 7x115

Biceps:
Z Bar Curls: 10x85, 6x115, 5x115 (too big of a weight jump)
-->SS 10lb plate hammers: 50, 50, 50
DB Curls: 12x30, 12x35, 10x40, 8x45, 5x45, 3x45 (tri-set)
Seated DB Curls: 12x30, 8x40
Cable Hammers: 12x17.5, 10x17.5, 8x22.5

I felt pretty good today. Had some motivation from other bro’s in the gym, and it wasn’t too packed. I HATE a packed gym. Energy was clean, and strength was aiiight.

Nice updates! Not having your workout partner there definitely makes a difference, man. Way to push through and still put in work!

I can't believe you workout in Beats by Dre headphones. You must be a big-balla! Haha.

Looking forward to the next update! Hope your girl gets better, too!

haha, after trying the beats by dre, I can never go back to a smaller headphone, quality just isn't the same.

And I love having a workout partner, the extra push, and hitting that extra rep in the gym makes all the difference!

I've never tried them. Does it make that big a difference? Yeah, having a partner is great for the extra reps and the accountability.
