First and formost thanks to Mark and Magnum for the opporutunity to test "Thrust". The history of the company and the impressive feedback I have read lead me to applying for the log. Mark is truely one of the top notch company owners and classy guys I have ever spoke with.

A little bit of about myself as my schedule with teaching school and coaching is very busy right now so I will try to make this log as accurate as possible updating daily for everyone.

I dont think the drowsiness is being caused by Thrust, but keep us updated on it! Thrust amplifies your REM sleep, but doesnt usually make people tired.

A few more nights and you should start to notice the deep sleep and crazy dreams!

Well thats not good! Hopefully that doesn't continue to happen.

Anyway... I'll be following along.

[Sixpack]

To be honest i don't think it is either, I am behind on sleep still from Tuesday getting home late from our game 2am , so I am still catching up on it

Well so far not much to report will thrust . As this morning was only the 4th day on it, I did notice my workouts are lasting longer and my endurance is increasing. My cardio is still the same as endurance is fine also. I would say the biggest difference I have seen in the 4th day is the quality of sleep I am getting. I have been getting 3-4 hours of sleep the last couple nights and I am waking up feeling very good and refreshed. Weight this morning was abotu 168.
