So I decided to invest in some "performance enhancers" after my fall GPA came back 3.4. Yeah, I know I'm probably nitpicking but Harvard/Princeton/etc. will be more impressed with 3.8's than with 3.4's + excuses.
Anyway, I scoured 1fast, avantlabs, and imminst's forums and decided I would give rizzer a chance. I bought 70 500mg aniracetam caps. They arrived within 1 week of the order date, no problems. I started taking 1g upon awakening, and then 500mg later on in the day, say, after 6-8h.
Incidentally, I also lift weights regularly, and run distance (not so regularly, but enough to stay in approximately 3mi/20 minute shape). Its been about 1 week since starting the aniracetam regimen, and I've noticed marked gains in 1) body weight 2) strength and 3) stamina.
Now, since fall semester ended (~15 days), my hours of sleep per night has increased by approximately 75-100%, thus affecting my metabolic rate. I still eat meals (500 kcal) every 3 or so hours, but I am only awake 12-15h/day instead of 16-18h/day.
My body weight has increased from approximately 180 lbs to 190 lbs, today, and I have noticed increased stamina during lifting sets, and a slight increase in overall strength.
Has anyone else noticed effects like these while using aniracetam or should I look for another cause (i.e. more sleep)?
