Simple solution: Move.
Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Is there some sort of “most moronic post of the year” award on this site.

That just makes me prouder to be Canadian.

I’ve used Spike in non physical activities and enjoy the extra focus it gives me. also, I have noted that when you lack sleep and have to perform, it really helps you get into the mood to do things.

I like Spike!
Seriously.
Everbody that I’ve given it to also likes it. The most common response is “whoa, that is some weird shit! Is that legal? Lemme see the bottle! where’d you get that?”.
It’s realy pretty funny.

Lol that’s funny. I’ve often wondered what friends would think about it, but so far have “kept it to myself”
To the original poster, if you’re 17, I think you have to be 18 to buy Spike. Unless of course you lie about your age.
I too experience some off the effects people have mentioned.
For instance, Spike seems to really work for me but if I use it consistently the effects dull.
I also find that Spike (yes, the faster released kind) takes an hour or two before I really start to feel the “focus.”
I’m curious as to see what people do and how they play with dosages (I recall Joel Marion mentioning being 4x Spiked!)?

One guy on the first page had it right. One day it works and another it doesn’t. I have a hard time sleeping so I’ve found that when I’m dragging ass the next day at work it helps. I don’t take it every day.
Today, I was super hungry at about 2pm and I am dead tired so I popped a couple and within 15 min. I was fired up and managed to pull my head out for the rest of the day. I also cycle on NO-Xplode and wonder why you are saying its bad?
It’s a stimulant. A clean one, meaning the crash for most isn’t too bad and it doesnt’ jack your bp and make your heart pound, just kinda clean and focused energy. If you’re down it will pick you up a bit. It’s still borrowed energy and if you’re sick, or stressed, or just drawing from your “energy pool” too much/too quickly to compensate then any stimulant will make the pool empty that much quicker wich equals you needing some down time/getting sick.
At your age if you need a stimulant to get through your day then I’d consider seeing an allergist or looking at your diet. Will it put size on you? Nope not directly. Will it make you stronger? Perhaps a little but used regularly could have just the opposite effect, ie. run you down. DO you need this right now, NOT VERY LIKELY. Roscar hit it on the head, eat alot, lift hard basics lifts, sleep, drink lots of water, take creatine. No need for anything else until your at least in your 20’s. At least.
I usually take it a couple times a week when im having a crappy morning…and I end up having a pretty damn good work and great rest of day…
I wish I had it during college.
I bought Spike for the first time last month, and quite frankly, I love it. If I’m ever having one of those days where I don’t want to workout, I take it and sit around for an hour and I’ll feel my mood start to elevate and bam! I’m ready to workout.
I don’t use it everyday because I’m concerned that it will be less effective if I do, and I only take one pill…I’m curious to hear about anyone who takes it on a regular basis…do the effects diminish with prolonged use?

I took one tablet first thing in the morning every Mon-Fri for a few weeks and the effects diminish after a while, although at least on Monday it’s still pretty strong.
At least in my case it’s obvious it has to be cycled.
Are there any athetes here who have used Spike and Power Drive? Which one is better for which situation or sports before a game?

Yeah, I read that but I was a little confused. Looking at it again, I think I get it.
So basically you’ll take Spike before games or whatever most of the time?

Spike before competitions.
Power Drive when training.
My thoughts are that Power Drive works more off Adrenaline from what I understand.
I already have quite a bit during an event.
Spike works more on focus and sort of a competitive drive.
I like that in a competition.
If I’m not that motivated and I need to get a workout in though, I’ll bounce back to Spike. This isn’t THAT often though because if I start needing it every day, chances are I am over training.
M-F i’m on Power Drive
S + S I’m on Spike (race days)
Some Mondays I’ll Spike because I need the boost to get out for my ridiculously long runs.
Seriously, I’m motivated enough to workout unaided. If I had enough money to buy Spike, oh boy. Sucks being a poor college student, but its just a phase that will soon pass.

Spike works great for me the first week and then I do not feel anything. I take a few weeks off and then it’s ok. Just my experience. Everyone is different.[/quote]
I had the same experience. I mean I think Spike is great, but the effects dwindle with use for me, to a different lower level. I cant get near the initial experience with 2 Spike.
2 Spike is great for me though. Its subtle for me now. At first it blew me away. 2 keeps me going and alert and I dont even think about it. I dont even realize I’ve taken it except for being more focused, energy, etc.

im taking this NO-Xplode (creatine/arginine) stuff and it does seem to help me but people keep saying how bad it is.[/quote]
Yes it’s terrible. Men’s livers have been known to rot with only one tub. Glad I know not to use those devilish creatine coctails.
