Wrlprchnx’s recent posts on P101 seem to confirm that it possesses some kind of ‘big picture/detached/outside the body’ focus enhancing type of effect which is probably at the detriment of ‘detail’ focus (hence people have been calling the effect ‘trippy focus’)…
Playing Ultimate (once again) - I will try it at work eventually, I just wake up too late to even remember to put on my A314/IS combo most of the time.
A314/IS in the morning before work (standard 2 drops 2 sprays) - probably a little A314 still hanging around come game-time @ 6:00pm
Outdoor conditions - Light Wind, about 15-20 degrees, partly cloudy but the sun was already starting to go down
SELF - EFFECTS -
Similar to last time I felt really “INTO” the game right from the start. Found I was able to just see the whole field when I was throwing and being blocked (I tend to have difficulty finding people when I am marked) - Overall I found my level of focus was just one gear higher than normal. During one particularily long point I distincly remember coming back to the sideline and barely being able to breathe I had played so hard.
EFFECTS ON OTHERS -
Initially team morale/motivation seemed fairly standard - There is a bunch of new people on the team for fall league. I did notice that everyone just seemed to start meshing and we started really playing together better after the first time-out (the first time most of the team sat around me for any period of time).
ONE NEGATIVE EFFECT I HAVE NOTICED - While overall focus, I’d call it “Big Picture” focus seems to improve - I have noticed that I tend to lose a little bit of detail focus. I find it really improved my ability to see the field, see where the frisbee is going - where it should go, but when it actually comes to catching the frisbee (really zoning in on the frisbee - detail focus) - I tend to be a little fumbly fingered initlally after exposure to P101 (https://pheromonelabs.com/) (I noticed this last time as well, but thought it was maybe just a bad day). Right after half-time (where my team would have gotten the highest exposure to **P101 (https://pheromonelabs.com/))** I found that people always seemed to be in the right place or throwing to the right place but we were dropping the frisbee like mad.
CAVEAT - it seems like the overall focus boost lasts longer than the fine detail focus loss.”
Applied 3XP101 about 1 hour before going to the bowling alley.
Self-Effect - I get a little ADD/Hyper when I apply P101 (https://pheromonelabs.com/) - I already have some tics that I do like snap my fingers randomly, with P101 it is much worse. At the bowling alley it was very hard to settle down and get into the zone. It felt like I had ALOT of nervous energy and I just wasn’t getting it out of my body.
Effects on others - Honestly I wasn’t paying enough attention to other people I was kind of absorbed by the football game.
OVERALL THOUGHTS - P101 is definetly not a good particle for sports that require you to be calm and relaxed… it took me a good 2 hours after application before I was able to calm myself down enough to throw the ball well… and even then I wasn’t terribly consistent. I will note that my ballspeed was WAY UP - I also have apparently hurt my shoulder, for some reason when I’m wearing P101 minor injuries like that don’t seem to bother me as much.
Conclusion - P101 = “Nervous Energy” - Great for sports where you need to really push yourself - Going to the gym pheromone I think, allows you to fight through pain more easily - Kind of eases focus “outside” of your body but it definetly retracts from inner focus.
I’m thinking on trying out some more Putatives with this and creating a workout mix”
