breezy's Big Non-Sponsored Stack: TPwdr/EPro/ABE/Alphamine/X-Gels

[BPjohn123]

Day 18

The couple extra hours of sleep last night had me feeling refreshed this morning. I woke up to 2 scoops of FP Alphamine, a cap of EP, and some Cissus XT.

With my morning free I waited about 3 hours before having breakfast. I had 2 caps of ABE with my food and the appetite suppression wasn't nearly as strong after waiting to eat.

I weighed exactly 209lbs (+1.6lbs overall) this morning. Any weight added looks to be a positive as I don't see any fat gain. I actually think I look slightly leaner than when I started. The difference is very minimal, but with my weight being up overall I'm pleasantly surprised.

There have been a few days where I haven't quite hit my intended calorie target. On those days I've been above maintenance, but fell 200-300 calories short due to appetite suppression from Alphamine. If anything this will make "tightening up" in the last few weeks of my run easier.

Nice update kid

Nice update kid

Thanks dude

Day 18 continued

I got through work feeling great. It was only a 5 hour day and I had my afternoon Alphamine (2 scoops RL) to power me through the last 2.

I'll be going to the gym for back workout in a little while and should have plenty of energy. I'm about to have my pre workout meal along with the following supps:

2 caps ABE
2 scoops TPwder
20 X-Gels
3 scoops GlycerGrow
1.5g ALCAR
1g Calcium
1 scoop CF Focus XT

[breezy11]

Day 18 continued

Another solid workout is in the books. I'm loving the way I'm feeling in the gym. My mood was elevated, I felt strong, and I was in the zone. Once finished, I realized that I didn't even check the time my entire workout. I was in and out of the gym in about 1 hour 15 minutes.

I had 2 caps of ABE with my post workout shake.

My shoulders/traps have been unusually sore today. I don't experience DOMS regularly, and when I do its not to this extent. I'm wondering if the X-Gels (ArA) have something to do with this. I'll see how my back is feeling tomorrow.

[breezy11]

Day 19

I didn't get the best sleep, but I'm currently feeling good after 2 scoops of FP Alphamine this morning. I had a cap of EP and Cissus XT right when I woke up as well. If sleep quality doesn't improve I'll try pre bed ABE again to see if that has an impact.

I had 2 caps of ABE with a big breakfast (~2 hours post Alphamine) which was easier to finish than it has been the majority of the run. I ended up dosing Alphamine an hour earlier than usual which may have made a difference in my appetite at the time.

I weighed 210.2lbs (+2.8lbs overall) shortly after waking up. I'm happy with my overall appearance at this point in the run. Vascularity and muscle hardness were 2 areas of improvement I noticed this morning.

[breezy11]

Day 19 continued

I felt better at work today than I have in a long time. I thought I'd be getting tired by the afternoon because I didn't get the best sleep, but that wasn't the case. My energy and mood were both consistently good throughout the day. The energy aspect of Alphamine really shined today and the second dose was the perfect afternoon pick me up. I think TPwder had a part in how I felt today as well. My mood and energy have gone up with the use of DAA in the past, and it seems to be happening again.

I was hungrier today than I've been the last couple weeks. I'm not sure if ABE has anything to do with it, but its a possibility. Any hunger increases were sporadic the last time I ran it. My afternoon dose of Alphamine calmed down my appetite and the hunger is now returning 4 hours later.

My back has become increasingly sore as the day goes on. It's beginning to look like X-Gels are now increasing DOMS. I'm a bit surprised by how sore my back is overall. It's been a long time since I've experienced this...feels like I'm 14 again.

Today's workout will be arm focused with the possibility of some light chest work. I'll be having a pre workout meal shortly with the following supps:

2 caps ABE
2 scoops TPwder
20 X-Gels
3 scoops GlycerGrow
1.5g ALCAR
1g Calcium
1 scoop CF Focus XT

Day 19 continued

I don't think tonight's workout could've gone any better. I had amazing energy, felt strong, was in a great mood, and X-Gels had a breakthrough performance. I was starting to think I wasn't going to "feel" anything (intense pump) in the gym from ArA, but tonight was a whole new experience. I must have had what was one of the strongest pumps I've ever felt. After the first set of my first exercise, my chest and arms blew up incredibly. I ended up switching the order of my routine, which made strength increases hard to judge. I also noticed I was moving along faster than I have been.

Dips (wide grip/slow tempo)

-I think 200x8 might be the first true PR I've had in over a year. My strength was progressing consistently, but hadn't yet reached the level I was at before getting sick.

As I previously mentioned, the pump was intense. I'm not someone that normally goes into a workout in search of one, but it sure felt great. My vascularity was looking freakish as well. ABE usually helps a good deal with this and tonight my veins were very prominent.



Taken 10 mins post workout



I had 2 caps of ABE on the ride home with my protein and oats shake.

With the increased soreness of the last 2 days, and the addition of the crazy pumps tonight, I'm convinced X-Gels have started to make an impact. I expected more immediate effects to be noticed while working out, but I guess the ArA needed to build up in my system a little. If my arms are sore tomorrow, especially my biceps, that would be a major accomplishment. I don't really ever experience any DOMS with my arms.

[LiveToLift]

Such a beast bro! Great update.

Such a beast bro! Great update.

Thanks man. The stack is really starting to shine in all aspects. I'm pumped that I have another 5+ weeks until I finish everything.

[breezy11]

Day 20

I woke up with 2 scoops of FP Alphamine, a cap of EP, and some Cissus XT. I decided to do a little stretching before I got moving. This is not something normally do (probably should) on a regular basis. However, with the recent post workout soreness over he last few days it felt necessary. I used to find myself stretching constantly throughout the day when DOMS were a frequent occurrence. I honestly missed the feeling and its good to have it back. As of now, my arms/chest aren't sore, but I'll see if they hold up as the day goes on.

I had 2 caps of ABE with my breakfast about 2 hours after dosing Alphamine. It seems like waiting a while to eat is helping me be able to finish a large meal without getting uncomfortably full.

I weighed in at 210.8lbs (+3.4lbs overall) this morning. It's good to see my weight holding up this far into the work week as its usually declining towards the end. I still suspect that it will drop a little by tomorrow morning.

Sick veins !!!!

Are you making your own oats and protein shake or is it something store bought like ON oats and whey ?

[jwa254]

Dem upper arm veins! Nice!

[breezy11]

Thanks Fumoney!

I make my own. I grind up oats in a coffee grinder and store them in old protein tubs. My shakes are usually 1.5 cups oats and 2-2.5 scoops of protein (depending on what brand/macros).

Thanks man. I thought they might pop.

I guess it's cheaper to make your own. Will have to try that.

[breezy11]

Yeah its a good cheap carb source. I make proatmeal and sometimes protein bars with them as well. I go through a lot of oats each week.

Day 20 continued

I had good energy throughout the day again. Just when I thought I was losing steam it was time for my afternoon dose of Alphamine. It did a good job waking me up, and carried me through another 4 hours of work.

I'm running a little late and have a lot to accomplish tonight, so my workout is going to be kept somewhat short. I'll be taking the following with a pre workout meal:

2 caps ABE
2 scoops TPwder
20 X-Gels
3 scoops GlycerGrow
1.5g ALCAR
1g calcium
1 scoop CF Focus XT
200mg caffeine

Tonight's workout is legs.

Day 20 continued

My workout was quick and effective. I worked at a fast pace and finished up in just under 40 minutes. Both strength and endurance are continuing to improve.

I had 2 caps of ABE with my post workout shake.

My arms/chest are a little sore from yesterday. This has been slowly increasing throughout the day. I normally have zero soreness from arm workouts.

My hunger was up again today. This makes two consecutive days of increased appetite. I think it could be ABE or perhaps my body asking for more nourishment due to the extra beating my muscles seem to be getting from ArA as of late.


I placed multiple supplement orders tonight which included the following products related to my stack:

Alphamine- I'll now be able to continue at 4 scoops daily for the full 8 weeks (and most likely start back up again following a 4 week break). I got a bonus bottle of OG Erase with it to add to my PES stash as well.

OG X Factor (200 count)- I'll be using it to extend my ArA run. I cracked open my 4th bottle of X-Gels tonight and will be out of it entirely in about 2 weeks. I would've liked to continue the final weeks of my run with X-Gels, but it doesn't make sense financially based on my current dose and the current ArA content per bottle. 200 count X Factor just became available for pre sale and should arrive before I finish what's left of X-Gels. I may step up my pre workout dose to 2.5g depending on how the next week goes.

Cissus XT- gotta protect the joints

SlinTensity/Glycomyx- I'm not sure if I'll be adding these into the mix. I'll most likely at least give them a test run and provide some feedback.


Tomorrow is a day off from work and the gym. I made it through the week feeling much better than I have in a while. I'm usually ready to collapse at this point, but I'm doing fine. The test boosting ability of TPwder and EP could have a part in my current condition.

ABE raises my appetite like crazy breezy! That is one reason I'm liking prebed dosing. It keeps me from eating everything in the kitchen!

I'm loving the alphamine as well and will have to see if my bp can handle alphamine after the 4 week break being I'll be running something that may just interfere... Feel like I have to use it at least as a pre-workout during my cycle though! It will be a tough time if I have to go without.

EDIT: Let me know how well that gda works. I'm taking a break from them right now but had my eyes on that one.

[LiveToLift]

BTW breezy when did you join force factor? For real the dude looks like one of the update pics you posted you monster!
