I have been blessed enough to get to review Ronnie Coleman's Signature Series sleep product Resurrection PM for a month and I am always ready for better sleep!!! Sleep and Recovery are one of three most important steps,right up there with training and diet, towards building the body you have always wanted.
Benefits of Sleep
1) Metabolism:Researchers at the University of Chicago have determined that sleep deprivation (even in the most modest amounts) can interfere with how efficiently the body regulates the release of cortisol.
This stress-related hormone is produced by the adrenal gland, and plays a significant role in hunger, stress and appetite. What's worse, excessive cortisol levels can interfere with the production of serotonin. As a result, we may feel depressed and hungry - even in situations when we've eaten to the point of being full.
2)Growth Hormone:Human growth hormone is also released under conditions of sleep. In men, 60% to 70% of daily human growth hormone secretion occurs during early sleep which is typically when the deepest sleep cycles occur. Poor quality sleep can negatively impact human growth hormone levels.
3) Energy Consumption:Lowered energy consumption is a biological mechanism for resource conservation. We would need many meals per day (rather than the normal 4-6 for bodybuilders) if we did not get enough sleep.
With bodybuilders, the name of the game is increased size, so energy conservation out of the gym is paramount. Several meals throughout the day also assists growth, and sleep helps to ensure that food is used to replace energy and rebuild muscle (pre-sleep meals and nocturnal eating help to intensify this effect).
These are just three of the many reasons sleep is so important... now lets look at the product and see just how it helps you sleep shall we???
GABA:sleep problems and anxiety disorders may result from problems with GABA, which helps neutralize the effects of glutamate, a brain chemical that causes excitement. When there is too little GABA, it causes those racing thoughts that characterize anxiety -- and keep you up at night. At least one study suggests that orally administered GABA increases the amount of Human Growth Hormone. GABA has also been reported to have both stimulatory and inhibitory effects on the production of growth hormone, depending on the physiology of the individual.
HICA a natural metabolite of leucine (the key amino acid largely responsible for the anabolic effect of protein supplementation). This metabolite is called alpha-hydroxyisocaproic acid (HICA). HICA makes its way to muscles without being broken down and it has been scientifically proven to be much more potent than its precursor (leucine).
and these are just two of the ingredients in Resurrection and we will be learning about some of the other ones as we get go deeper into the log so stayed tuned as I will have my first experience up for you guys to read over! Enjoy!!!

I received the Blue Raspberry flavor and the BB.com version that doesnt contain Phenibut which is ok since this is the formula that I am have used before and I know what to expect...I mixed 1 serving of Resurrect-PM with 8 oz of cold water in my shaker cup and shook lightly and lo and behold the powder mixed up great with very little sediment on the bottom of the cup. The blue reaspberry flavor is a solid 7.5/10 although I do prefer the midnight grape,but i am not complaining as the Sensa-Cool flavoring is great!!! 20 mins after finishing the cup I began to feel drowsy but in a drugged benadryl kind of drowsy but in a healthy long day of working kind of sleepy. 15 mins after feeling the first effects I was out or at least that was the last time I checked my clock...I woke up once in the night to urinate which is pretty common for me and to be honest I take that as a good sign as I do not want to take something that keeps anything from waking me up if needed. Upon awakening 8hrs and 20 mins after ingestion I felt great and very well rested,I am excited to see just what kind of benefits i can get from this supp!

Results from my experimentation with Resurrect PM and 3mg of Melatonin...
Date...May 11th
Finished drink...11:15...i also took a chewable 3mg melatonin about halfway thru my drink!!!
Went to sleep...11:50
Woke Up...7:30(alarm clock)
Hours Slept...about 8 hrs
Quality of sleep: 11/10
Thoughts:I didnt think my sleep could get any better then with Resurrect but boy was I wrong...the melatonin helped me go to sleep easier and wake up easier as well...my dreams were SURREAL!!! i have tried melatonin by itself and I never had this kind of sleep before,so this combo is awesome!!! I am thinking of trying some stand alone Phenibut with the Resurrect tonight so i can try out the new formula PM!!!

Glad I was not the only one. I got a 3 day sample of this and my dreams were very lucid and crazy, woke up wondering if they were real as well. Once that mindjob wore off I was totally refreshed and did sleep really good though.My Reviews:

ok so I took Tuesday off and I only took 3mg of melatnin and I could tell a huge difference in the quality of sleep compared to the nights that I take Resurrect-PM and so I will document that as well as last night when I took a scoop of Resurrect with a dose of Phenibut!!!
Date...May 13th
Finished drink...N/A-3mg melatonin only took it at 10:45
Went to sleep...11:30
Woke Up...7:30(alarm clock)
Hours Slept...about 8 hrs
Quality of sleep: 7/10--- awakening once during the night for a few minutes; my sleep was still ok but not nearly as deep and I wasnt nearly as rested when I awoke at 7:30
Date...May 14th
Finished drink...11:07
Went to sleep...11:40
Woke Up...7:30(alarm clock)
Hours Slept...about 8 hrs
Quality of sleep: 10/10---first I want to say that after skipping a night I could see a big difference between the nights i take it and the nights that I dont!!! too be honest I couldnt tell a real difference with the added phenibut added in...maybe i should use more next time??? any suggestions???

That's up to you if you want to take more phenibut. If you feel great with what you're taking now, just do it that way.Originally Posted by brad311

Date...May 15th---on this occasion I doubled the amount of Phenibut that I took with the Resurrect PM
Finished drink...10:30
Went to sleep...11:15
Woke Up...7:30(alarm clock)
Hours Slept...about 8 hrs
Quality of sleep: 9/10--- did not awake during the night and slept great BUT it was hard for me to wake up and I felt groggy for much longer than usual...i dont recommend that much Phenibut
Date...May 16th---this time I added Valerian root to the equation...
Finished drink...11:07
Went to sleep...11:35
Woke Up...7:30(alarm clock)
Hours Slept...about 8 hrs
Quality of sleep: 10/10---now this is just as good as melatonin but i fell asleep much faster and never woke up once!!!

05-20-2014, 02:15 PM #23
the next two nights I am going to try a scoop and a half to see what happens!!!
-
05-21-2014, 12:15 PM #24
Date...May 20th
Finished drink...11:05
Went to sleep...11:40
Woke Up...7:30(alarm clock)
Hours Slept...about 8 hrs
Quality of sleep: 10/10---GREAT SLEEP BUT BAD MORNING!!!
last night i used a scoop and a half for the first time and I must say that a single scoop maybe the perfect amount because I could barely get out of bed this morning i was dragging my tail around for about an hour...so unless you have a high tolerance or weigh quite a bit more than 210 stick with a single scoop!!!

ok so last night I made a huge mistake...I have a habit of preparing my PWO and Resurrect at the same time and I will store them in my fridge until time to drink...well last night when it was time to drink the PM I accidentally picked up the PWO and since both were the same flavor I didnt notice until after i had already drank about 3/4 of the PWO...and when i did i freaked since i had just consumed a few hundred mg's of caffeine at 11:15 P.M.!!! I immediately picked up the right bottle and guzzled the Resurrection and went to lie down hoping I could still go to sleep...and Resurrection PM did not let me down...I went to sleep as quickly as ever!!! this stuff is extremely awesome!!!
