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!

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.

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
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.
