JW's Drive + RPM Log - Sponsored by Applied Nutriceuticals!

Welcome to the next chapter of my mission to 250lbs! I want to thank the team at Applied Nutriceuticals for their generosity of providing me with 2 bottles of Drive and 1 bottle of RPM. I especially want to thank Vitruvian for the effort he put into making this happen.

RPM by Applied Nutriceuticals - 3 caps Preworkout
Creatine - 5g ed
Torrent by Universal Nutrition - Immediately Following Workout
Real Gains by Universal Nutrition - 2-500 calorie servings daily

My Goals for this Cycle

1. Exceed at least 3 personal records.
2. Gain 5 lbs of lean mass.
3. Increase all body measurements.

How I'll Rate Effectivness

1. Mass
2. Pumps
3. Sex Drive
4. Strength

My Workout Plan

There are two possibilities here. I'll start with a two day split Power Pyramid program that looks like this:

Tuesday and Friday
Midback, Lats, Delts, Biceps, Abs, Soleus

All midrange movements will have 2 warm up sets at 50-60% with 3 power sets and all contracted movements done in 1-1/4 reps.

Starting week 3, I may move to a 5 day per week program.

Workout details will be posted daily!

And now, for a introduction of the products being tested.

RPM™ – A Breakthrough Pre-Workout formula in a class by itself:

It is the world’s first Anabolic-Cognitive Energy System Enhancer (A-CESE): (Anabolic + Cognitive Psy-Stimulant)

RPM delivers:
• Explosive energy without the jitters
• Intense mental focus
• Measurable strength increases
• Unparalleled pumps
• Suppressed estrogen
• Increased testosterone
• Thermogenic fat metabolization

RPM mimics the mechanisms and effects of experimental pharmaceutical-grade compounds called SARMs (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators) which are being touted as a future class of drugs that will effectively replace traditional anabolic preparations due to their absence of negative side-effects.

All of this is accomplished using 100% safe herbal preparations in its ingredient profile.

Results are noticed from the very first dose, plus RPM provides positive cumulative effects with continued use.

I retained every ounce of what I gained from my last Applied Nutriceuticals cycle, which included RPM, Neovar, and IGF-2. In addition, I have gained another 2 lbs since then with significant growth in my legs. I'm thinking I'll easily gain 5 more lbs from this cycle. Here are my current measurements.

Arms - 15-7/8"
Forearm - 13-1/4"
Wrist - 7-1/2"
Shoulders - 51-1/4"
Stomach - 33-3/4"
Waist - 34-1/4"
Thigh - 26-1/4"
Calf - 16-1/4"
Neck - 17"
Weight - 202lbs

[jw25558]

lets get this started, only 48 more lbs. to go lets roll man... 250 and you'll be SWOLE!

Oh Yeah! I can't wait:D

[jw25558]

My first workout was good; nothing spectacular but just a good light workout to get back in the swing of things. I just started doing some dumbbell presses for the first time so I'm starting out with light weight to build up the stabilizers. I hope to be up to 100-125 each arm by the end of the log.

After 3 days I can already feel some effects from the Drive/RPM combo.

1. Aggression is way up. I get annoyed even easier than normal:o
2. Vascularity has increased significantly; especially during and post workout.
3. I have a really tight feeling in my chest. Its kinda weird but a good feeling if you know what I mean;)
4. I have not got the LEAST bit sore during or after my workout.This stuff really does knock out lactic acid!

Thanks for subbing Bro! I think this is going to be a good cycle:D

My workout today was awesome:D I could have easily done more with the exception of legs. I stumbled and twinged my right knee a little. It is going to fine but I didnt want to push any farther today.

The sweating has kicked in full force with the RPM/Drive combo. My gym(which is upstairs) was 61 degrees and I was sweating like it was 80:o LOL

Just wanted to give a summary of my first week. Things are going very well with the stack. I thought I would update some of the things I am noticing.

Pumps - I got some really good pumps from this combo that are increasingly getting better. This feeling is really pronounced in my tri's, lats, and chest.
Sex Drive - I wont go into detail here:o but let's just say "Two Thumbs Up"
Strength - Strength is increasing at a steady pace, especially with my legs. I am very impressed considering this is a natural product!
Endurance - Has never been better, Period! As you can see from my previous logs, I'm not a volume person. In fact, I'm doing roughly 3 times the volume that I done in my previous log with no problem what so ever. Very Important, I strongly suggest a good post workout shake following exercise and a proper post workout meal shortly there after. This is something you should do anyway but with this combo and workout routine, you'll probably crash shortly after your workout if you don't;)
Effects on Lactic Acid - I thought it was imperative to mention this because the label claims it "Buffers Lactic Acid", I personally agree that it in fact does! I have not been sore or had any muscle pain what so ever since I've been training with Drive


If anyone has any questions or comments about the products or any part of this log then post away:D

[jw25558]

I got in another killer workout today:D Only problem is my right knee that I hurt while doing deadlifts the other day is not getting any better:( Luckily I have a good friend that is a doctor and he fixed me up with a joint supplement called "Joint Advantage Gold" which contains both healing agents and natural anti inflammatory ingredients. I'm going to be discontinuing deads for at least a week to make sure I get this good and healed up;)

I just took my measurements. I'm really excited about my growth, especially in my legs. I still can't get the arms to 16" though...errrr:x They will come with time:) In fact, for the rest of my cycle, I'm dropping barbell curls and going to dumbbells in a effort to get them growing.

* A couple changes *
On the front pulldowns, I only do the working sets instead of doing 2 warm up sets. Since I already work lats previously, it seemed redundant to do more warmup sets. I also switched barbell curls for dumbbell curls.

Just a couple updates, my knee is feeling much better. In retrospect, it was a really good idea for me to give it a rest these last couple weeks because it has really accelerated the rate of recovery!


Second, I'm past due for a change in my workout routine. Starting Monday or Tuesday, I'm going to shake things up with a new split, some new exercises, and hopefully massive and explosive growth to follow:D Details will follow soon!

I like the 5x5 routine. Its been a while since I done it. What was your split and what exercises do you usually do?

After much debate, I've decided to go back to my 5 day a week routine. I'm going to be doing low volume because I want to take complete advantage of the strength effects of RPM/Drive. Here is the first arm workout:D

This routine looks brutal but it is really not that bad. If you are starting a routine like this for the first time, start with a light weight and 1 set per exercise and work your way up over a 1-2 week time period for safety.

Here's my Chest/Lats workout. The energy and endurance is still through the roof with Drive/RPM. This is no doubt the best natural combo I have ever used. Anyone who thinks natural products don't work needs to try this! You will be amazed.

My Final Review

My second Applied Nutriceuticals has ended with success! With the gains in size and strength I have made from these two cycles, the products already speak for themselves. I am truly impressed with the effectiveness that AN brings with natural products.


Let's Start With My Personal Best Lifts.

At the beginning of my log, I set out to achieve 3 personal best lifts. The previous lifts were taken from my previous AN cycle, which consisted of RPM, Neovar, and IGF-2.

Squats 245lbs..........................315lbs:eek:
Standing Calf Raise 410lbs..........410lbs(would have been higher but ran out of weights)
Close Grip Bench Press 180lbs.....195lbs
Dumbbell Curl 45lbs....................55lbs
Bench Press 185lbs....................205lbs
Barbell Shrug 275lbs...................275lbs
Dumbbell Rows 75lbs...................85lbs (each arm)
Military Press 165lbs...................185lbs

Green straight across the board:D I can contribute most of this to Drive The most valuable aspect of this product for me was it's ability to buffer lactic acid. I had no idea how damaging lactic acid was until I used this product. With Drive, I was able to workout longer, harder, and my recovery was warp speed. Never once during this cycle did I have ANY muscle pain the next morning after a workout. Second, with lactic acid at bay, I was able to get in those extra reps and sets that I normally wouldn't have been able to get in.

Goal 2, Gain 5lbs of Lean Mass

I fell a little short on this goal. However, I still gained 3 quality lbs of lean mass while gaining incredible amounts of endurance and strength. Even though I didn't meet my goal, I'm still satisfied with the gains I have made.

Goal 3, Increase Bodily Measurements!

Let's take a look at the before and after.

Arms - 15-7/8"..................16"
Forearm - 13-1/4"..............13-1/2"
Wrist - 7-1/2"....................7-5/8"
Shoulders - 51-1/4"............52-1/4"
Stomach - 33-3/4".............33-1/2"
Waist - 34-1/4"..................34-1/4"
Thigh - 26-1/4"..................27-1/4"
Calf - 16-1/4"....................16-3/8"
Neck - 17".........................17-3/8"
Weight - 202lbs..................205lbs

My goal was to increase all the way across the board, which I accomplished. I'm particularly impressed with the size I gained across my shoulders and my legs.

My Final Thoughts

The first thing I look for before buying a product from a company is, "Does the product do what it says?" I don't want to do business with a company that makes outrageous claims that most often or always comes back empty. So far, I've used IGF-2, Neovar, RPM, and Drive and I must say that all four of these products for me have met or exceeded the claims that have been made.

Drive/RPM is without a doubt, the best and most beneficial preworkout stack I have ever used. The thng that has really stood out for me is the strength and endurance I gained while using it. My workouts this log include roughly twice the volume of my previous cycle while using heavier weight!

Something I would really love to try is a stack consisting of Neovar, Drive, RPM, and IGF-2. I would say the results of all four products for 4-6 weeks would be amazing.

In closing, based on the product claims, effectiveness, achieving my goals, and absence of side effects, I give this stack



10 out of 10 Stars!


Thanks Again to the team at Applied Nutriceuticals for providing me with these products to test. A big thanks to everyone that followed my log and gave me support along the way. If anyone has any questions for me, feel free to post them here or send me a pm and I'll be glad to answer!

One more thing, I'll be posting details soon about my upcoming experiment with Drive.
