Drizzie goes "Ethyl AlphaSane" with Alphamine/SlinSane/CEE

[Drizzie88]

Heres the deal guys. None of this log is sponsored and I'm going to be 100% honest in it.

Here's the stack:






Alphamine:
1 Scoop on early morning fasted cardio days (these days are military PT days)
Mondays- 0530 Pre fasted cardio
Fridays- 0530 Pre fasted cardio
1 scoop ~-530, 1 scoop ~1230 with lunch 1 scoop PWO depending on time... if it's late at night I will take 2 at lunch
T/W/Tr
~ 1Scoop 0900 with breakfast/1/2 Scoop 1300 lunch or (1 PWO)
Sat/Sun
1 at breakfast 2 at lunch

Slinsane
1 cap at breakfast/1 cap PWO (with carbs, obv)

CEE
2.5g in Alphamine Breakfast or PWO

I'm keeping a fairly low carb diet. For this week these are the meals I prepped.

Breakfast
3-5 sausage links (or 5oz sausage)
3 hardboiled eggs
1C oatmeal (with SlinSane)
6-8oz milk.

Lunch
High protien/Low carbs
Normally either homemade chilli with extra meat, 5-8oz chicken/cottage cheese, chicken salad with light vinagarette dressing... You get the picture...

PWO
5-8oz chicken/1cup homemade mashed potatoes or 5oz pork/mashed potatoes (SlinSane)

Intraworkout
RecoverPro BCAAs

Post Workout
Protein shake (as soon as it comes in the mail)

Dinner
Whatever my asian wife makes (minus all the rice)
I am going to limit my carbs after 5pm since I hit the sack around 10pm every night.

My schedule is hectic due to school, military and family but I'm going to stick to this plan as much as possible. Next week during the holidays we will be in Ohio for three days so I may miss a few workouts depending on if I can find a gym.

Goals for this month are:
1% fat reduction with no strength loss
More defined abs and better cuts in quads
Better prepare my body for the lean bulk I'm about to complete with SD/5-Alpha after I get in recomp shape.
Take 45+ seconds off my 1.5mile time by December 3... (11:04 to 10:15)

Cardio:
On M/F I do fasted cardio for military PT. I will post the regimen every week when they give it to us. I normally go M/F but sometimes it's M/Tr or T/F... Either way, it's two days a week.
Also, I'm training for a special ops position in the USAF so I'm doing my own cardio sessions and rucking for 1 hour every week. The rucks consist of 15min/Mile (or less time) with 30-45lbs of weight. We do 20 push ups every 15 mins and hydrate...then off we go. This will keep up until the weather gets unbareable...then I will ruck inside with full gear on at the track in the campus gym. I will do a faster paced ruck for a lot shorter time... ~30 mins or so.
PWO I will run at least a mile and time permitting a .5-1 mile cool down.

Weights:
Once I figure out exactly how I'm going to run my weights I'll let you guys know. It's probably going to be something like this:

M/W/F- upper body 3-6 sets each body part focused around cleans/bench/deads with other exercizes incorporated
M/F- Lower Body also... Squats/Leg Ext/HamCurls/Leg Press

High intensity/high rep ranges/with max weight incorporated every week for at least one workout each day. (Ex: Monday max bench, Wed max dead, etc).

I'm going to thrash my body into oblivion and hope the BCAAs help .

Follow along fuggers to my quest for greatness.

You know I'm in it! First! Will read through when I wake up. :-). Just so you know alphamine is my favorite natty product out there!

Can someone point me to a good discussion on this forum about GDA's. I have SlinSane V2 with me, but I am not sure I understand what a GDA does for me to start using it

Some good info in this thread: Slin-Sane v2

That page is a good start as Coop and Smitty break down some of the real actions and reasons for GDA vs the common misconceptions.

I'm gonna read it too! Thanks

Nice! Think im gonna step up my cut a bit too, with a minor break in-between for Thanksgiving.
IF is not a bad choice; easier to keep up on your diet with life sometimes…

Questions: Do you have an overall caloric goal in mind, and something to track easily (i.e. fitnesspal, book, etc)?
What is your current weight by the way, and an estimated BF? (Atleast two-methods)
I see you have some veg in there, anymore you can add will help a lot (celery and other low cal snacks) reduced fruit looks acceptable (high cal).
Keep in mind high volume/sets-intensity-reps will demand a lot of glycogen; you may have to carb cycle around that if low carbs start to hurt you.

Also it is suggested to take BCAA's every few hours during your fast (~10g) prior to your first meal of the day. (Some people add in fish-oil, EFAs)
This helps with your cardio/workouts/catabolism and such. I'll pull you up some references when I get time if you want.

Good luck! Your ripped already, Lol.
keep us updated with anything else interesting

This is why I wish we still lived close... No homo.

I know I need to start tracking my meals... I will do that on MyPlate like I used to. I can start doing that tomorrow.

I was thinking about incorporating fish oils and CLA but I'm unsure of how and when would be most effective.

Ill see if I can find someone with calipers to measure my BF. It's higher now than it was Pre-havoc that's for sure... I feel a lot looser in the chest and ab areas but my quads and calves are leaner now from the runner. I know targeted fat loss is unlikely, but I really think my legs are more cut because of the increased cardio and extra amount of lunges, squats.

Keeping carbs to a minimum except around workouts is a difficult process. Do you agree that limiting carbs after 5pm is a good idea or no lumipz? If so, should I incorporate BCAAs and protein shake before bed? ON gold std has a very small amount of carbs... Almost unnoticeable.

Cutting is so much harder. I'm such a rookie.

[lumipz]

Generally the most critical timing for BCAA is when you are fasted/postworkout/catabolic; for the reasons that you may have a lack of protein synthesis at these times or it is needed to be increase at these times. If you get enough BCAA throughout the day it shouldn't been needed at night but you can anyways.

Fish Oil, CLAs, EFAs are in general nutrition practice recommended to take with food, but its not absolutely necessary (nothing is), you can dose whenever. And fat loss locations.. well that can be genetic, your born with certain fat cells that do certain things, at certain times, certain locations/situations (i.e. you get it).

This is kind of where personal experience comes into play; you have to see what works for you and try it. Also what feels most comfortable and convenient to you

Looking good driz

[Drizzie88]

No gym today... Woke up and nothing solid came from today. Literally.

Anyone have any gastro problems with Alphamine or SlinSane? I'm hoping it was just a bug.

Recovery still good.

I consumed no more than 30-40 carbs all day. Sucked balls.

[Drizzie88]

In! I'm pretty interested in both Alpha and Slin so glad to see you running them. Though I'm thinking of using Slin in a bulk with high carbs and taking 3 throughout the day. I think I get why you're using it in a cut though, using all the carbs you take in efficiently. Excited to see your results, kill it!

Bulk, bulk. Bulk. You are gonna look like a power lifter but the end of your bulks. Don't even call it a cycle anymore... Just bulk life lol.

I'm gonna go full Leto after the holidays...Do like Luis did and be miserable for 5 days on end and then carb up. Gonna be hard but ill do that for three to four weeks and get abs back. Throw more cardio into the mix and get cut da fck up. Then explode into SD/Alpha-5 or SD/AlphaBulk and put another 10 lbs of muscle on. Introduce carbs back into my life with SD. Gonna buy all my supports on Black Friday!
