Blitz n Destroy Logs PrimaForce Idebenone
Shout out to Bob aka LayzieBone for choosing me to log the PrimaForce product of choice. I chose Idebenone because I've always wanted to try it, and I'm currently dieting for a couple shows later in the year. I figured that some cognitive support couldn't hurt
What is Idebenone?
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/prima/idebenone.html
Idebenone is a fat soluble form of the anti-oxidant Coenzyme Q10 and is a very powerful antioxidant. It is a much smaller molecule than Coenzyme Q10 and can quickly penetrate the brain and provide to support cognition. In addition to having the same effects and Coenzyme Q10, it also has its own unique cognitive-enhancing effects. Idebenone helps to support the area in the brain involved in speech and creative thinking, supports serotonin release for mood and well being, and is a very potent antioxidant.

Day1
I've got 1 cap in so far, second one coming upon my pre workout meal at 5. I'll be updating every couple of days, as day by day updates with a product like this is pointless.
Nothing to note as of now.
EDIT: 2 caps in, not much to note. I was really happy all day, and felt "on" but I'm not chalking it up to anything right now.Last edited by Blitz n destroy; 08-03-2009 at 08:49 PM.

Week 1 Review
It's been one week on Primaforce Idebenone, here are the updates in each rating category:
Mood:I'm under a lot of stress, constantly. I work a ton, I live in the ghetto, my mom is currently and has been injured for the past 1.5 years and I live 500 miles away, etc etc. That being said, my mood fluctuates alot, and being alone out in MN, I don't have a support system of family, friends to hang out with, or a girlfriend(anymore). It's easy to get depressed, despite my overall positive outlook on life.
Since starting Idebenone 1 week ago, one thing that has stood out to me has been my balanced mood. I've been alot less stressed and more even keeled since starting. I'm "bouncy" at work and it's rubbing off on my employee's as well, which is great for productivity. Also, I'm happy as hell with my contest prep, and loving my diet and training. Going to the gym is looked forward to every single day, which has not been the case the whole time out here.
Focus/Mental Clarity:I'm definitely sharper. My ability to calculate in my head has increased(%'s, comp pricing, weights, etc.). I've also noticed my awareness has increased back to when I was playing Counter Strike. As dumb as it sounds, when I played CS heavily when I was 14-17, my proprioception was highly enhanced as well as peripherals. I constantly scanned everything around me. This is definitely evident again. My heads been clear and thought process spot on. I've been cranking out paper work and tasks all week. Work completion has increased.
Speech:Speech is noticeably clearer. I had clean speech patterns before, but occassionally I would stumble on some words when I was tired or distracted. Everything has been coming out sharp and crisp.
Creativity:Not a ton to note here, I don't draw unicorns or anything routinely, but I am working on a couple t shirt designs and theyre coming along nicely. My merchandising looks sharper as well.
Libido:I need to get laid.
Energy:See #1. Very good and constant mentally and physically.
Other:I've been sleeping deeper, but that could be due to numerous things. MMC in the gym is off the charts, and my muscularity is increasing because of it. I can literally complete an entire movement with 1 muscle group. I did some underhand chins the other day and felt nothing in my biceps.

Week 2 Review
It's been two weeks on Primaforce Idebenone, here are the updates in each rating category:
Mood:Down a little bit due to increase in stress, ****ty ass weather, and being kinda lonely, but it could be a lot worse, and I'm pretty sure it would be if I was not taking Idebenone.
Focus/Mental Clarity:Clear as day. I actually feel like my vision has clarified somewhat too. MMC in the gym is on a level it's never been before, and as a result, strength is increasing as my physique takes on a whole new look.
Speech:I've been very articulate as of late. More so than I usually am. I'm actually starting to discuss products in too complex of a manner to my customers lol
Creativity:Merchandising is still sexy! Can't complain here.
Libido:Meh. The same
Energy:Clean and constant. Definitely solid for the whole day
Other:Idebenone still continues to impress as far as I'm concerned. 3 more weeks left!

Dosage has been a consistent 2 caps/day. 1 with breakfast and 1 with either my pre workout meal, or 8 hours later.
Workouts are amazing, as noted in the focus/mental clarity section Mind muscle connection has been unreal. energy/recovery is very good.
No drop sets.
Here was my last arm workout Sunday.

Week 3 Review
Dosing has been increased to 2 caps in the am, 1 cap 8 hours later with meals
Mood:Consistent. I'm not noticing any significant increase or difference at 2 caps. For the most part, positive.
Focus/Mental Clarity:MMC has been sky high in the gym, and my workouts have been awesome. Workouts noted here: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...7479481&page=7
Contractile strength has been greatly increased through this, and thusly, my density/hardness and musculature. Combined with FST-7, I think this is truly a winning combination and a stand out benefit of the product.
Speech:Consistent. Articulation and acuity are very high.
Creativity:Thought process is very good, and my wandering mind has been pretty creative. Also, my flirting/wittyness has inreased.
Libido:Same. I need to get laid.
Energy:Same.

It's not a constant surge of energy, but really level and even. I'm focused and awake, no 3pm crash.
As stated, in the gym my MMC is definitely heightened. It's alot easier for me to contract and isolate muscle groups, and acheive better workouts. It's also easier for me to generate intensity towards a specific set, and push myself.

Week 4 Review
Dosing has been 2 caps in the am, 1 cap 8 hours later with meals
Mood: It has been constant all week. I've been working a TON training in my new associate, which is why I havent been posting as much. No real change here, and no excessive positive increases or anything
Focus/Mental Clarity: I've been driven and "on" all week with training my new associate. I've definitely stayed sharp during 14 hour days, and can maintain concentration for longer periods of time.
Speech: Same. Articulation is heightened.
Creativity:More noticeable in flirting this week. I've gotten 4 girls numbers. Although I'm not sure if it has to do with my flirting, or competitive eating
Libido: Nothing. Down slightly this week
Energy: Gentle, clean energy all day has kept me buzzing around for my longer days. It's like my gas tank stays topped off instead of running out as the day wears on.
Other:I've been out of the gym all week due to my work demands, but I just picked up a free 2 weeks pass at the Snap Fitness acrossed the street. Hit back tonight, and MMC was AWESOME. I did not do 7's, but because I could focus on my back so much, the pump was unreal. Moved 200 on seated CG pulldowns for the first time in a while, strength was awesome.
