Workout
Squat - 190 5x5
Bench - 130 5x5
BBR - 130 5x5

Was super busy at work so I was really drained by the time I got to the gym. It was pretty rough getting through my workout.

Diet
Breakfast - Protein Shake w/whole milk, granola bar
Lunch - McDonalds double cheeseburger x2
Post Workout - Protein Shake w/whole milk
Dinner - Snack food (had a little party with people over, typical unhealthy items)

Not my healthiest day but the cheeseburgers are not that bad. The key is not getting fries, they are so bad for you. I need to go grocery shopping, I have nothing to make meals with!

No workout Monday, heading out of town for a work conference. Might check to see if the resort I'm staying at has a gym.

Or, you could always rest up and come back stronger?

Have a good one, man.

Hotel gyms are usually not the best, but that doesn't mean you can't do anything. When I go on vacation I like to stay active by doing things I don't need a gym for such as jogging outside, push ups or sit ups in the room and of course getting some extra rest.

[Black_Label]

i usually chalk it up to a day off if the workout would be a bad one

[nugget5]

How's it going in here?? Any recent workouts man?

Hopefully he is coming back from that work conference soon and has kept up the hard work while he was gone.

[Tekstorm]

Still here, I had to take the week off from workouts. Came back from the conference on Wednesday then had to work till 10pm both Wednesday and Thursday. Going to lift tomorrow and finish this log either Thursday or Friday.

You might find that you are stronger when you return to the gym

[Dewey99]

That sucks that you had to miss that much time, but we all need to deload from time to time anyway. Finish strong!

[Tekstorm]

Thanks guys, I hope that is the case. In the past when I took a week off after not missing a lift for a long time I would typically come back much stronger.

Yes sir, I notice this too when I go out of town and come back to the gym. An unplanned de-load period can do miracles.

Quick question - which products of your stack are you most impressed with? Have any of them exceeded your expectations?

This is my second time taking IGF-2 and again I've seen great results. The deep sleep is great for recovery and I always put on a good deal so muscle. RPM is still my favorite, it keeps me focused and gives me the energy boost I need in the gym, especially those days when I'm dragging.

Workout
Squat - 200 5x5
OHP - 100 5x5
Deadlift - 195 5x5

Broke 200lbs today on the squat and felt really strong, like I could do a lot more. Then I stalled on OHP, have no idea but I couldn't do 110 or 105, had to do 100 5x5. Not sure what was up with that.

Cool, I'm definitely an RPM fan too. The stuff makes me sweat like none other

How about Drive? I notice big increases in endurance, libido and overall mood when taking it. Have you noticed any of these?

Libido...hell yeah. It does help with my mood as well. I guess I haven't had the big bump in endurance that others have had.

Workout
Squat - 205 5x5
Bench - 135 5x5
BBR - 135 5x5

Yesterday was a solid workout, high energy and strength. Tomorrow is the last work out of the log and I will probably close this out Saturday morning. I'll give a detailed report of my thoughts on the supplements and my results.

[Black_Label]

libido is quick, endurance takes a little longer. For me it was pretty pronounce with cardio

[Tekstorm]

Trying to not leave you guys in the dark. Been under the weather, I'm going to try to finish this up tonight.

Dude, don't sweat it man. We've all been there. Rest up, heal up, and come back with a vengeance.

[Black_Label]

the weather changed quick. ive had a sore throat and headache here and there too =\ no worries

^A very underrated necessity.

^A very underrated necessity.

It amazes me at the number of people that train hard and meticulously manage their diets but don't give sleep/rest a second thought. They wonder why they don't make better progress when they are either sleep-deprived or over-trained.

[nugget5]

I agree, I was feeling under the weather and tired so I took two days off and I'm feeling a lot better.

Tekstorm's Final Review - App Nut IGF-2 + Free Test + Drive + RPM + Neovar



Last Wednesday I completed a two month log of Applied Nutriceuticals IGF-2, Free Test, Drive, RPM, & Neovar. During this time I was on a bulk which at times was a dirty bulk because of some late nights at work. I aimed for 3500 to 4000 calories and 200+ grams of protein, most days I was over 220 grams. I trained using the SL 5x5 program by Mehdi and during the second month I added some additional arm workouts. I was consistent with my dosage of the supplements every day and with my calorie and protein intake.

IGF-2
IGF-2 is probably my favorite supplement. Within the first night of taking IGF-2 you will have a very deep restful sleep. This is great for recovery after work outs. Next is after a couple weeks you notice a continuous boost to your mood. I felt great while taking IGF-2. Two weeks in I also noticed a boost to my strength, I really wanted to go beyond the numbers I was following in SL 5x5 and lift more weight but I stuck with the program. This is the second time I've taken IGF-2 and both times have I have seen solid strength and muscle gains. My rating 10/10

Free Test
I noticed that muscle hardness was full even several hours after lifting. In this two month period I've had the biggest strength gains I've ever had. I have lifted off and on for years but didn't get serious till last January, these last two months I've had huge strength gains. My body comp has mixed results but I attribute that to the dirty bulk/gomad, hard not to put some fat on with that. Libido has been through the roof which I can attribute to both Free Test and Drive. My rating 9/10

Drive
Libido was really high and I have taken it in the past with the same results. I have not had the endurance others have had on Drive but I will also add that I have never done cardio while taking Drive. I am going to make sure that I pick some up next spring when I cut again. Vascularity is great plus your muscles stay full all day. Strength is always solid with Drive and it really gives me that boost in the gym. My rating 9/10

RPM
RPM is the runner up to IGF-2 as being my favorite supplement. RPM gives me a huge boost in energy without the jitters when I hit the gym. It also makes me very focused and I just want to take care of business when I lift. I am always highly motivated when I hit the gym with RPM which helps me lift more and hit new PRs. My rating 10/10

Neovar
I loved Neovar before I even took it just because I could get my creatine without drinking another shake. The heck with that. I've taken a couple other creatines in the past and I had no clue if it was even helping me, I couldn't tell the difference. With Neovar I have had consistent strength gains and excellent pump & vascularity. My rating 9/10

Final Thoughts & Comments
I'm very happy with the stack because I've seen huge strength gains and some added muscle. It's not an amazing transformation but I also was on a bulk. I have put some fat on but I really don't care since it's winter. Plus lost my tan from summer =[. I plan on cutting this spring and I WILL have six pack abs. Anyways I wish I would have taken measurements when I started for comparison and wish I would have taken some legs pics. My thighs are frickin huge. My chest, serious chest muscle gains, and shoulders are much bigger. My arms are a little bit bigger but I didn't focus on arms till the second month.

If any of you would like to start off with a product from Applied Nutriceuticals I would recommend getting Neovar first then working your way up to RPM and Drive. I plan on these being the supplements I continually take from here on out. I really wish I had pictures from January to show my before pictures and after my first round of IGF-2/Drive/RPM/Neovar because it was a huge difference. I was skinny fat, no muscle and a big gut. I weighed just over 200lbs then and dropped to 169. I put on over 10lbs of muscle and that stack was a big factor in those gains. I wasn't even squating or deadlifting back then either. Was doing some other splits where I really didn't know what the hell I was doing.

Future goals: I plan on continuing the bulk to 200-210lbs then cutting come March 1st, daddy wants six pack abs =D. I am going to take SL 5x5 as far as I can then switch to a more advanced program. I've learned a lot in the last year about nutrition, proper form, and compound lifts.

Applied Nutriceuticals is an quality company and I am very satisfied with their products. They've made me an Appnut junkie and I can't wait to try out some of their other products. I think I might do a NO Uptake log in a month or so, I really want to test this new product out. Appnut you have earned my trust, keep making great products!

[Dewey99]

Great final review Tekstorm. Thanks for taking the time to run a great log and give detailed reviews. I'm glad you like all the AppNut products that you used and hope you keep your eyes open for some of the new stuff we have coming out in the near future.

[OrganicShadow]

Wow these weight increases are significant! Congrats on the strength gains! Keep it goin and thanks for taking the time to put this together.
