Thought I would give an update on the dosages I'm using and how I feel.
The past couple of days I have been taking 2g of Piracetam, 1 serving of Power Drive, and 500mg of DMAE. I don't seem to have any side effects off of this. I think I was experiencing some brain fog from taking too much Piracetam.
I have noticed a huge difference in my emotions... much wider range.... I can get extremely excited/amp'd listening to music or thinking about vert or something. Like for the dunk session yesterday I made a special vert mix that I was listening to on the ride over and of course during the session... on the ride over I had goosebumps.
But of course the trade off is I can get angry and become very irritable. I'm pretty sure this is mostly due to coming off of the ssri as these reportedly "blunt" your emotions. Although the irritability is annoying I would rather have the wide range as that is what makes us human. I will just have to learn to deal with the anger/irritability better which I think I will be able to by thinking... when I was on an ssri this stuff didn't bother me and I did fine. So I know what the feeling/mindset is like, just have to recreate it.
Edit: Something else I have noticed, not sure what this is from... "sweets" don't taste as good to me now. I have never been a big sweets consumer but I usually keep at least something like Oreos stocked. Today they didn't even sound good, I ate one then put them away. I've noticed the thought of eating sweets lately doesn't even sound good, I only do it because it is a conditioned habit that it is supposed to taste good but lately as I take the first bite I think to myself this doesn't even taste that good. Next time you eat something sweet really think about how it tastes and ask yourself if it really tastes that good... I bet sometimes you'll realize it doesn't and you're just doing it out of habit and because you have been conditioned to think it tastes good and it's a "treat" for you.
That might not make sense but it's just something I have definitely noticed lately.
u sure ur not on crack?
nice write up.. interesting about the sweets. What's also interesting is that goosebumps response, I get the same thing when I'm jumping my highest, I can literally get goosebumps on command, at the mere thought of jumping. Come to think of it, I recall us talking about that way back.
I wonder how many other people get that..
peace
WTF , that's unreal !!!
What's your hand size? It looks like you're getting wrist at rim? Or is it just cam distortion?
Mind blown anyway!!!
his hand is 7", there is surely some slight distortion on that highest jump, so what looks like 2-3" down his wrist becomes more like 1" down his wrist or base of hand, which is still 127-128" - 89.5", which is
BEAST
MODE.
haha
ya man ur the human vertec, i give it two thumbs up over here, i imagine you will too after some analysis
peace man!!
My analysis is the same with yours , word by word.
That's why i said its unreal : i mean it's fucking real as we see it , but it's also ~38'' to 39'' , 1000% legit , WTF , mind blown again!!!
Nice jumps Arowe!

Did about 10 jumps... they sucked, something like 27 and 31.5. Ended with some sprints.
10-29-10
A few jumps outside... was getting up decent... hand over the rim but no more than that... went inside really quick to check on vertec... 28 and 33.5. Only did two jumps each so I probably could have gotten .5" higher on each.
Upper body- everything has been increasing a lot since I have been taking less rest time in between workouts.
*Did a muscle up for the first time ever which has been a goal of mine for a few months.
Core
Gonna jump again tomorrow and/or Sunday... vert should be even higher in a day or two. Lookin for a couple of big jump sessions.
congats on the muscle up!!!
