Wrlprchnx also found that it made him and his teammates focus/play harder in Ultimate Frisbee games. While not a great pheromone for sports (and activities) that require you to be calm and relaxed it seems great for sports (and activities) where you need to really push yourself; like we saw in the post above, focus “outside” of your body may be enhanced but P101 definetly seems to retract from inner focus…

“ P101 Report - Playing Ultimate
(ultimate frisbee)
So I decided to test P101 (https://pheromonelabs.com/) at my ultimate game first.
Applied a pretty standard mix whose effects (especially self-effects) I am fairly comfortable with.
2X AMMO (Chest)
2.5X IS (Neck & Hair)
2X P101 (Neroli scented, minimum togo mcg)
Decided to go with two sprays instead of one because I was outdoors and was going to be sweating a bit (thought 1 would just wear off too quickly)
Immediately after application I got my standard “New Pheremone Headache” - I always seem to get after my first couple applications - The headache went away rather quickly.
I found myself being rather playful with my LTR very soon after - she was pretty smiley but really nothing to speak of.
At the game - potential hit in that after about a half hour of playing I realized that everyone seemed to be really “into the game”… it could be that we don’t terribly much like the team we were playing and had lost to them twice before - but the team seemed unusually motivated.
**
Personally I didn’t think I found myself any more focussed or motivated - but I got a comment from someone on the other team that it was fascinating watching me run because I seemed to be putting so much into it. Also, after the game I was REALLY SORE (still quite sore) despite the fact that we had more spares then usual so I didn’t play as much as I normally might. I was also laying out for the frisbee all over the place (had comment from teammate about how I was playing more on my knees then on my feet)
**
**First report on P101 (https://pheromonelabs.com/) - It could have been that my team was just particularily motivated, but P101 (https://pheromonelabs.com/) might have boosted the team’s focus. As far as self-effects - I gotta say I think P101 (https://pheromonelabs.com/) helped me focus more strongly on **the game.”

“Tests with P101 (https://pheromonelabs.com/) over the weekend - Unfortunately the game on Thursday was cancelled due to hail and lightning…
Saturday morning Application 2X P101 behind ears.
Unfortunately this first application was a waste of pheremones - didn’t realize it was gusting 50 km/h outside and drizzling…I probably couldn’t even smell the 'pheromones on myself nevermind them affecting anybody else. I didn’t notice anything either, other then driving feels different with P101… not quite sure how, but it just does.
Saturday afternoon (about 5 hours later) applied another 2 sprays (the wind has died down) behind my ears… brought the Togo for during halftime.
Reactions - Similar to the first time I used P101 (https://pheromonelabs.com/)… my team just seemed really intense, the game seemed really intense, my play seemed really intense - Applied another 2 sprays when we took a time-out and the score was 5-3 for them… we then proceeded to win the game 8-7. I found the defense was really tight and everybody was putting it all out there (this could be playoff… but in the morning we were definetly not as disciplined so it could be P101 helped with focus).
**
Sunday afternoon… applied 2 sprays before the game - sunny day, slight breeze. Today was inconclusive… most of the team was REALLY tired because they had played several games that afternoon, some people seemed really in the zone - but the people that were really tired were still really tired - Once again I seemed to be able to push myself much harder then normal wearing P101.
**
OVERALL RESULTS -
Not quite as solid as I had hoped - especially after the first test with P101. The windy day game showed nothing, **but the game that afternoon it really did feel like I was in the zone, people around me were in the zone and I was able to push myself really really hard. On Sunday it didn’t seem as intense (2X vs. 4X with slight leftovers from the morning) but some people who weren’t as tired seemed to be really pushing themselves hard (however it was also a final so take it however)
**
I will be testing P101 again once I start bowlling (in a month or so). 10-pin bowling requires a fair bit of concentration - will try some tests applying P101 before the first game - adding more in the second - adding more in the third and judging any difference.”

“Figured I’d post my latest experiment with P101 (https://pheromonelabs.com/) back here again ~
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
Applied 4 sprays P101 to Neck and behind ears
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 (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) 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.”

“ Another P101 Test
This is also Posted in my journal
P101 (https://pheromonelabs.com/) - TEST at Bowling
Applied 3XP101 about 1 hour before going to the bowling alley.
Self-Effect - I get a little ADD/Hyper when I apply P101 - 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”
