3/8:
Started it on Monday night, the day after I got back from The Arnold.
I think I can't tell anything though cause I was still wiped out from the entire weekend. The first thing that I notice is how good the can smells inside when you grab a packet of Animal PM.

3/9:
I think I actually slept "calmer" in a long time. I got 2 daughters that keep my hands full during the day, so it can be hectic during the day with those crazy monkeys.
I did 36 flights of stairs that day, cause I am getting ready for The Big Climb of Seattle on March 21st. I'm sure the PM will help with my rest.

3/10:
Seems like I still slept better. Just woke to piss twice. So far, I like it! I recommended it to my neighbor who likes to workout at LA Fitness. I gave him 5 packets and asked him to let me know what he thinks.

Have a good day,
HIGA MONSTER

Subbed to your log HIGA. I'm loving this stuff. After the hectic Arnold weekend, Animal PM is really helping me to recover and sleep more soundly.

When you lift 400 lb rocks, you need all the help you can get with recovery

Its weird, but I since I have been taking this PM, I have been getting up at 5am and feel like I still had a good night's sleep.
Went to bed at 10:30pm and woke at 5am and typing this while my coffee brews.

My neighbor said he slept like a baby the other night when he tried the first packet of PM, and was surprised at how good he slept too.
He is an avid workout guy that goes to the gym at least 3 days a week.

Have a good morning,

Higa, do you wake up feeling groggy? Do you find the product is addictive?

No grogginess whatsoever. More like waking up refreshed with a clear head.
I don't think its addictive...more that it seems like I have some good results, but its only been done for 3 days with me.

Slept from 11pm-7:15pm.
The time was after I "Sprang forward" on my bedroom clock.

I still think it helps, but we also had 5 hours of Little League yesterday for my oldest daughter and ate a ton of sushi afterwards.
I was pretty tired!

Brewing coffee as we type...

Was outside with my neighbor yesterday, and he LOVES this product. He feels so refreshed when waking up.
Again, he is a guy that just does alot of Circuit Training at LA Fitness and is not a heavy lifter. However, he does alot of cardio and spends minimal time in b/w his weight training cirucuits.

Have a good day!

Would be awesome to keep posing your thoughts Higa. Maybe a weekly update to keep us filled in. Sounds like it's working good for you so far.

Ok, will do.
5 more days till the BIG CLIMB of Seattle for me, so this will help me get ready for that.

I stairclimbed 48 stories today at work. I feel like I am in good shape for this year's Big Climb at 301 lbs bodyweight.
Last year, I weighed 295 lbs but I think I wasn't in good condition as this year.

Still loving the product. I did some light Deadlifting yesterday with the intent of just doing alot of reps: (315 x5, 315 x 10, 315 x 15 reps) 30 seconds rest in b/w each set.

That's always tough when the little one is crying during the night. My daughter was teething a few months back and that would make her cry periodically throughout the night. Gotta feel bad for 'em when they're crying.

No doubt J-Dawg. Seems like she is just having bad dreams lately, or something.

Slept 10pm-6:40am.

I was beat from work too, and did tons of cardio (hit the bag for 3 rounds, then some running intervals w/clients)

My little one was crying again at 1am. I was so groggy, I heard a baby crying in my dream then realized it was her!

Body feels great. Today is my last Strongman workout at the Warehouse before Sunday's Big Climb of Seattle. Weighed 300.4 lbs this morning. I was 307 lbs at The Arnold.

Have a good weekend!

I feel great for tomorrow's Big Climb. Still weighing 301 lbs.
On a side note, spoke to my neighbor last night and he is still loving the Animal PM. He gets up feeling like he slept really well.

First day of Spring, and its going to be 68 degrees here at my house.

Sorry, we spent the night at a hotel in Seattle on 3/20 and didn't bring our laptop.

3/20: Slept 11pm-8am. Felt great before I did the Big Climb of Seattle!
3/21: Didn't take any PM cause I had 5 Heinekens to celebrate me completing the Big Climb, and also watched the free UFC on VERSUS last night.

Have a great day!

I woke to hearing my 21 month old daughter crying in her sleep, so I am up this morning a little earlier than usual.
