Welcome everyone! You have entered my log for

[size=+2]Alpha Drive XL™[/size]​

In the following log I will be testing out BioScience's new natural testerone booster, "Alpha Drive XL™". I will be running this test for the duration of 4 weeks following the directed dosing protocol provided by BioScience.



This log will attempt to cover most aspects of this supplement, taking into consideration the following fields of interest:

  • Libido
  • Sleep
  • Energy Levels
  • Mood
  • Strength
  • Endurance/Focus
  • Overall effects on body composition
I'm currently in a post cycle therapy stage for a 8 day cycle that I had to end because of hair shedding problems I wasn't properly prepared for. While 8 days isn't a log time, I'm still taking the necessary actions in making sure I'm fully protected and recovered. My plan is to get things in check with that and start back up in a few months.

Diet

Diet will be a classic 40% protein, 40% carbs, and 20% fats running off of Maintenance calories to accurately asses energy levels, strenght, etc. Water consumption is always high, aiming for at least 1.5 gallons.

Supplements ED

Milk Thistle
Vitamin C
ATW Whey Protein
Taurine (as needed)
At least 4 grams fish oil
Caffeine as needed
Moderate usage of Novla (30/20/20/10)

Pictures

Before and After pictures will be included. I will include 4 general poses and will do my best to keep all other photographic conditions equal.

Training

I will be working off of a DC split which is very new to me. In this sense it will be somewhat of an experimental stage in lifting for me but I find no reason why I won't be able to accurately asses the effects of this supplement. When you've been using supplements for only a couple years it's easier and easier to be able to feel what is doing what.

I will be lifting Mondays, Wendesdays, and Fridays. With cardio on Thursdays and Sundays.

A huge thanks goes out to my buddy Not_Big_Enuf as he has helped me out with DC and I will be following a split that he uses. Here is what it will look like.

General Alpha Drive XL™ info:

Alpha Drive XL™ is an effective product you can feel that fortifies your body with a very specific and scientifically engineered formula of herbal nutrients to allow your body to achieve a highly optimized male hormonal profile. This entails a strong increase in both one’s total level of Testosterone, THE male hormone, as well as even more importantly, what is known as Free or Unbound Testosterone.

Moreover, Alpha Drive XL™ does this by stimulating the HPTA (hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis) thus enabling one to use the product continuously for long term benefit without experiencing any negative feedback signals or diminishment of effect. Furthermore, Alpha Drive XL™ also supports decreased estrogen, (which is sadly and commonly too high in most men in today’s society) thereby creating an even more optimized total hormonal milieu for maximum “maleness”.

With optimized hormone levels one can add muscle more rapidly and lose body fat more efficiently, especially when coupled with proper diet and exercise. One’s motivation and focus and overall well-being, as well as attitude will improve markedly. And of course, it won’t hurt when it comes to the bedroom either!

DAY ONE (Pre-Log)

I figured it would give everyone a decent base idea to what I was doing and where I was at. So, why not....

Sets were performed with 45 second rest intervals. All reps were performed with concentrated negative rest emphasizing a 3-6 second negative. One of my goals will be to obtain a consistent 4-6 second negative. For the first day, this program was awesome. It kicked my butt, and I sweated like a dog throughout the whole thing. I felt great and am impressed with the reaction my body put out (i.e. Muscle Mind connection, very pumped muscles)


Warm-Up

DB Press

50s x20
60s x20

Main Chest Set:

8 x 5 x 3 Chest -- Flat DB (75lb)
Acheived a consistent 4-6 second negative

Warm-up: 115lbs x 15

8 x 5 x 3 Shoulders – Barbell Shoulder Press (155lbs)
Consistent 3-4 second negatives

8 x 5 x 3 Triceps – Skull Crushers (80lbs)
Consistent 4-5 second negatives

8 x 5 x 4 Back Width – Pullups (No negs)

8 x 5 x 3 Back Thick – Bent over Rows (115lbs)
Consistent 4-5 second negatives

20 x 20 x 10 Semi-Burnout – Pushups on BBs
Overall, it was a great night for a workout. I think this is a great start for me and I'm sure will be getting a lot better once I become more familiarized.

Pre-workout = Whey shake and a banana (rushed)
Post workout = Whey w/ Skim Milk and some carbs

Excellente!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes yes, I know I've slightly modified Doggcrapp with the burnout, but when I'm ON-cycle, that's how I add the extra few reps. I'll probably get kicked in the nuts by most here... but that's my split RIGHT NOW (I actually have deadlifts in there on day.... 4 maybe?).

I love this split... DC is just where it's at for me and fo r those that lose intensity. You can rip his theories apart all you want, or say such and such is better, but it comes down to what really works into your schedule, into how you want to lift, etc.

Good luck Rage... keep hittin it hard and you'll see results...

Thanks again, buddy. There are going to be a few changes, like the skull crushers, that I will have to implement but from what I can tell it's extremely solid.

And the last set, for example yesterday, I did push-ups on DBs and it went great. I did sets of 20, 20, and 10. I'm pretty intuned with my body and I don't feel like it was too much. But, I didn't kill my body, the push-ups actually felt great, sort of like a warm-down and stretch. I'll keep following similar philosophies until I consider otherwise.

EXCELLENT! Pushups on DBs are what I'm moving more towards. Dips, after crushing my shouldes/chest/etc are actually much harder after a killer workout. Plus I can't get into a rhythm. Those pushups felt good!!!!!!!

My sentiments exactly. There was no way in hell I could have done dips as I would have entered Cramp City.

DAY TWO (Pre-Log)

Here is my second day (08-09) on my new workout routine. Just as before, the following still applies.

Sets were performed with 45 second rest intervals. All reps were performed with concentrated negative rest emphasizing a 3-6 second negative. The workout was great and kicked my butt, especially the last 2 exercises. On biceps and forearms I have never felt such a painful pump and burn so quickly and quite possibly so bad. My heartrate was good throughout my workout but the intensity really kicked up during squats. Theres only been a couple times where I've sweated that much for a 5 minute period of time.

On a side note, changing up my workout routine was something that NEEDED to happen. At this stage in the game for me I need something new that I will be able to learn from and hopefully grow from. It definetely helps being on the same program for a long time only because you get to learn your body very well under certain conditions. Also, this new program has taken my concentration off of poundage (how heavy) which, I think, is very beneficial.

Warm-Up

DB Incline Curls

10 x 6 x 4 (30lb DBs)
Acheived a consistent 4-6 second negative

Warm-Up

Forearms – Incline Hammer DB Curls

10 x 6 x 4 (30lb DBs)
Consistent 3-4 second negatives

Calves – 45 degree calf raises

20 - (230lbs) Too heavy
20 x 20 - (140lbs)
Consistent 2-4 second negatives

Hamstrings – Hammy curls

20 x 20 x 20 (110lbs)
Consistent 2-4 second negatives

Quads – Squats

20 x 20 x 20 (115lbs)
Consistent 4-5 second negatives

Pull Ups
10 x 6 x 4
Great workout. I learned a few things from it and realized that this regiment has a lot of potential and I'm eager to experience more of it.

Workout Nutrition/Supplementation

Pre-workout = 20 grams whey, Arginine and Fenugreek
Post workout = Whey w/ Taurine and some carbs

They are coming. I actually lost my camera cable in the process of moving so I'm going to buy a media card reader. Before and after shots will be presented.

P.S. Don't do too much catching this weekend, shorty.




Nice log Rage!!

[size=+2]Alpha Drive XL™ - Day 1[/size]​


I received my bottle today and took 1 capsule 30 minutes before my workout on a somewhat empty stomach. My workout was great and a pretty exhausting. Starting tomorrow I will follow the same protocol as Jayhawkk:

5)JayHawkk (Running Alpha Drive XL solo)- Take 1 cap of Alpha Drive XL 3 times daily w/meals.​

Here is today’s review:

  • Libido – Too premature to judge. No affects as of yet.

  • Sleep – Haven’t experienced sleep yet.

  • Energy Levels – Steady energy. No jitters or over excitement.

  • Mood – Great. No noticeable changes as of yet.

  • Strength/Pumps – Strength was good while pumps were very enjoyable.

  • Endurance/Focus – Focus and endurance was great. Right now I’m absolutely beat but hung in there during the workout.

  • Weight/BF estimate - 207lbs and 15%? I will be providing more concrete information soon.

  • Overall effects on body composition – None as of yet.

Diet

Diet was good today with much chicken and oats. I had a couple protein shakes, one during the day and one post workout. I will be providing more or less info on this area as time permits.

Other notes

I will be making notes that I feel are relevant.

Just a quick observation/objection:
You're supposedly taking this stuff as a "stand-alone" PCT. Yet you're also using Nolva, the classic (and very effective) PCT supp. Someone needs to test this stuff without ANY other PCT help to see if it really does anything to restore natural test production. You also haven't given any details about your shortened 8-day cycle, and the amount of shutdown you're experiencing. These are important details.
[I think there is one other "stand-alone" log. I'll go take a look...]

To not use Novla would be a very idiotic move on my behalf. Regardless of testing, my health and safety comes first. With that said, I have two more days of Novla and seeing that it is only 2 days into my trial, results will not be affected on a larger scale.

I do not need to go into details about my cycle. It was phera at 20mg ed. That's all there is to it.

My capabilities in testing this product are going to be in no way influenced by any of these other items. I'm testing to see if the stuff works and that is going to be obvious one way or the other. I'm taking nothing else that is new or that should conflict or tangle with the effects of this product.

Thanks for your input.

Calm down, big fella.
I just wondered why you would call it a "stand-alone" usage when you're also using Nolva, that's all. And it didn't seem unreasonable to wonder what PH you had cycled, and what amount of shutdown you experienced after just 8 days on.
You see, I'm considering trying what Dr.D calls "pulse cycles" with SD (very short on/off/on/off cycles to minimize shutdown). So I'm looking for a mild PCT product for the "bridge" time. This is one of the more promising products I'm looking at, but I don't wanna stack it with Nolva (or any other usual PCT chems), due to the potential sides. This is why I'm asking some questions -- but I'm not trying to bust any ballz here. Sorry.

My apologies for being on the defense but I found your post to have a very condiscending tone:

[I think there is one other "stand-alone" log. I'll go take a look...]

Anywho, just to humor you.


Calm down, big fella.
I just wondered why you would call it a "stand-alone" usage when you're also using Nolva, that's all.
I don't see how it's not a stand-alone post cycle therapy. Seeing as this is a 30 day trial and only 3 of the days I will be dosing novla. Plus, it is a given that any educated user would use a SERM during PCT.

And it didn't seem unreasonable to wonder what PH you had cycled, and what amount of shutdown you experienced after just 8 days on.
For the most part, it doesn't matter if I was running superdrol, Phera, Halo, etc. just because much information on these compounds are pure speculation, not all but still a lot. This means that people react differently to these compounds and given the stuff on the market, it is unlikely for severe shutdown to occur in 7-8 days. But for the sakes of argument, shutdown=shutdown.

You see, I'm considering trying what Dr.D calls "pulse cycles" with superdrol (very short on/off/on/off cycles to minimize shutdown).
I recommend you thoroughly research this before making such a decision. Playing with exogenous levels on and off then on and off can get very tricky and has many implications that can be easily overlooked. You're profile says you are 44 years of age, I would strongly recommend you look into HRT as you'd most likely qualify and you'll be on safe stuff that is very researched.

So I'm looking for a mild post cycle therapy product for the "bridge" time. This is one of the more promising products I'm looking at, but I don't wanna stack it with Nolva (or any other usual PCT chems), due to the potential sides.
I do not understand what your thought process is behind this. What potential side effects are you worried about w/ the use of novla or other SERMS? I would say that in a PCT environment the benefits definitely outweigh the hepatoxicity and other potential side-effects.

I recommend you do more research and ask more questions [out of this log] before doing something that can be very unpredictable. I'd be more than happy to help you with other question if you'd like.

Hey Rage, you're right -- that quote does sound a little snotty. Sorry. I could have found a better way to say it.
And I didn't realize that the Nolva would only be used for the first 3 days of your Alpha Drive XL trial.
I guess I just want to know if this stuff actually works (on its own) to restore natural test production in mildly suppressed situations (such as I might experience in my "pulsing" experiment). [And I certainly won't hijack this thread with questions about pulsing -- I'm gonna start my own thread with the details/questions/theory pretty soon...]
But, yes -- the main reason I'd rather avoid (or at least minimize) my use of Nolva/Chlomid/etc is hepatoxicity. But you're right -- if I need to use it to revive HPTA functioning, I will. I'm just hoping these new test boosters will be enough, as I hope to experience very mild suppression. That's why I'll be following this thread. Good luck, and keep us posted. :thumbsup:

Off days - August 12th and 13th

[size=+2]Alpha Drive XL™ - Day 2 and 3[/size]​

I had a pretty uneventful weekend. My diet was less than good which is really bothering me today. I always seem to find an excuse to slack on the weekends especially since my new program doesn't require a lifting day on the weekend. This is something I need to get in check and it will be done. But for the sake of accountability, I will give nothign but honest feedback throughout this log. I don't want to be misleading in any way or form.

Here is the weekend's review:

  • Libido – Libido is as good as ever. Nothing noticeable as of yet.
  • Sleep – Sleep seems to be solid.
  • Energy Levels – Good energy, can further be approved through a better diet.
  • Mood – Still pretty damn good. No changes as of yet.
  • Strength/Pumps – N/A
  • Endurance/Focus – Focus throughout the weekend was solid.
  • Weight/BF- Actual weight 212lbs (fully dressed). BF% is still estimate at 15-17%. I'm positive this will get better in this next month.
  • Overall effects on body composition –N/A

Diet

Like I said, diet was pretty crappy. Quite possibly the worst diet day or two I've had in a while. There is only so much dissapointment I can take and I think I've hit my threshold for slacking on the weekends. My protein intake was high but for me that doesn't mean much when it wasn't structured. I've recently noticed that I have a problem with eating, almost like a compulsiveness. I can eat myself silly, till the point of being absolutely uncomfortable for hours on end. I have had problems with this in the past but never reflected on it as such. For me, this is just about self-discipline and I can't let that ball gain any momentum.

Workout Notes

Holy shmackle was this a good workout. The intensity was OK during the first few exercises but really took a turn when I started Hams. The intensity sky rocketed and never in my life have my legs, especially my hams and glutes felt like this. My glutes and hams are going to feel like HELL tomorrow. The pull-ups were a nice touch to finish off everything. By then, I was so pooped. Also, as you can see I'm showing two weights for some exercises. This was because I had to feel out the excersise and underestimated myself on a couple of the exercises. Once I got into the groove the sets were awesome. This is definetely proving to be an exciting and punishing regiment. I LOVE IT! p.s. I plan on taking pictures today. I will not be posting the before or after pictures until I'm done with this log. Hopefully a fresh side-by-side comparison will contrast results well.

Awesome! Yet another successful day in the gym for Rage. Nothing like hitting it hard and knowing you did something. It's amazing on a DC style workout that you aren't in the gym all day and you're still going to see some VERY positive results.

Smyth lunges... eek... those KILL me every time!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep up the great log Rage!

[size=+2]Alpha Drive XL™ - Day 5[/size]​

Measurement Updates:

Measurements were taken at night (08/14), end measurements will be taken at (09/12) the same time under the same or similar conditions.

  • Waist: 35.5 inches
  • Left Bicep Flexed: 16.1 inches
  • Left forearm Flexed: 12.75 inches
  • Left Calf flexed: 15.2 inches
  • Chest flexed: Coming...
I expect to see that waist measurement to drop off at least an inch or so jsut by my diet being in check. We'll see what happens with everything else. I took pics last night so I have those.


Notes for 08/15

I will keep today's notes simple since it was a pretty non-eventful day. My diet is back were it needs to be. And this whole week I've been thinking about nothing else but keeping my diet in check on the weekend. I also bought a punching bag so I expect to get in some extra cardio. SHOULD BE FUN!

Besides that, mood was OK the whole day due to stress. Nothing really to mention besides DOMS blows mokey balls.

Just so this doesn't get overlooked. I wanted to pimp one of BobCat's post:

To compare the two is comparing apples to oranges. Tribex Gold is simply Bulgarina Tribulus, while Alpha Drive is a comprehensive test amplifying matrix targeting specific pathways and addressing the various factors in optimizing testosterone levels. Although Biotest's Tribulus may be a good quality product, it fails in the realms of addressing other facets for testosterone modulation. For instance, Alpha Drive contains not only a high concentration extract of Tribulus, it contains a specific full spectrum blend of not only protodioscin, but methylprotodioscin, prototribestan, and methylprototribestan. To further enhance the test boosting properties of Trib, we've added a proprietary extract of Eurycoma Longifolia that has the highest glycoprotein content in it's class. Next, we've addressed the issue of estrogenic levels which rob your body of it's optimal test potential. We've conquered this dilema with ADED, a potent AI without the associated side affects of other well known AI's. And finally, the cherry on top ;) we've enhanced the oral bioavailability of the entire formulary by incorporating CYP-X a proprietary grapefruit extract shown to increase oral bioavailability up to 720%!

So you see although Tribex Gold may be effective, Alpha Drive XL is in a class of it's own!

Class dismissed :hammer:

[size=+2]Alpha Drive XL™ - Day 6[/size]​


Dosing:
5)Take 1 cap of Alpha Drive XL 3 times daily w/meals.​

Here is today's review:

  • Libido – Libido is great. No significant improvement yet.

  • Sleep – Sleep has been solid. Considering I've been averaging 7 hours instead of 8, it's been going well.

  • Energy Levels – Energy levels have been steady and solid throughtout the day. Some caffiene needed for meetings and training.

  • Mood – Been great. No significant improvement or vice versa.

  • Strength/Pumps – Strength is going awesome. I'm beginning to feel fuller on a regular basis and muscles seem to be holding a pump better/longer/more often.
  • Endurance/Focus – Focus and Endurance is doing great. Given my current workout regiment, I feel my endurance is steadily increasing.

  • Weight/BF estimate - 210lbs~

  • Overall effects on body composition – I looked a lot fuller in the gym yesterday. No noticeable increase in vascularity but my shoulders are definetely looking bigger. I must note that I usually don't wear tank tops during my workouts so this was a noticeable yesterday.


Diet

Diet is back on track and I've lost all of the bloat associated with last weekend pig fest. I'm usually starting off the day with some oatmeal and a 20-30 gram shake (until I figure something better out for work). I eat about 3 hours later when I will usually have a 50gram tuna sandwhich or salad, a couple chicken breast, or some sort of turkey. Three hours after that I'm usually scrambling for something to eat. It'll probably be some more tuna or turkey. For dinner I mainly stick to lean beef and chicken. Then before bed I have some eggs white with some turkey and mustard. YUM! As of late I've been watching my carbs as I've steadily realized that I'm very carb sensitive. Doing so has already resulted in good progress this week and I'm going to continue to do this. (I'm not carb cycling but I'm keeping my carbs low for the most part as I have a desk job).

Other notes

Nothing other that I had a phenenomal workout last night. The before and after pics should be a good comparison. Also, I may start up Devil's Claw Root to help some inflammation in my wrists.

Good work, Rage. I figure within a week you should be able to give us some anecdotal feedback as to whether this stuff seems to be raising your testosterone, as it claims to do. I'll wait patiently...

I agree. It tooks about a week or a week and a half to start seeing/feeling the full effects from Activate and Powerfull.

[size=+2]Alpha Drive XL™ - Day 7[/size]​

Dosing:
5)Take 1 cap of Alpha Drive XL 3 times daily w/meals.​

Here is today's review:

  • Libido – Libido is great. No significant improvement yet.

  • Sleep – Sleep has become more deep. I have been practically laying my head down at night and having great sleep.

  • Energy Levels – I definetely noticed today that I'm going through a 16 hour day with no problem! I don't feel like a nap or anything, I feel as if I have energy that I can turn on or turn down.

  • Mood – Recent reflection has suggested that mood is significantly increase despite some stress. I've noticed that I've been more loving and just in a better mood all together. Good stuff!

  • Strength/Pumps – No workout today but I'm definetely feeling full.

  • Endurance/Focus – Focus is still very solid. I have a constant clear mind that leaves me with an awesome thought process.

  • Weight/BF estimate - 204.3lbs!!!! morning weight.

  • Overall effects on body composition – It almost seems that I'm looking leaner and leaner as the days go on. Now that my diet is in check I'm making some very steady progress.


Diet

Diet was pretty OK today, I could have eaten more. I spent a lot of time with the family, and actually went to two different pizza places in one day. I didn't have any pizza and kept my diet clean the whole day. I'm definetely noticing that I am more hungry in the morning and my sensitivity to carbs has actually decreased meaning low carbs isn't hitting me as hard as it usually would.

Other notes

So, this stuff seems to be kicking in. It's been steady and very comforting, nothing sudden at all. I really realized some effects yesterday and was very pleased with my mood I've been displaying as of yet. I'm also feeling pretty damn good. My training is going great, I'm looking more cut, and my strength is on its way up. Needless to say, I'm extremely happy with this steady progress. I'm sure the next 3 weeks will be as good or even better.

Other Supplements ED
  • Vitamin C
  • ATW Whey Protein
  • Taurine
  • At least 4 grams fish oil
  • Chondritin and Glucosamine

Not that I could care less about the competition, but I really want to present a log that looks good, is easy to read, is very subjective, and provides value to the forum. I'm sure Jay and the other tester's share similar sentiments.
