Reggie's Getting ALPHA HARD With FRL

[niners4reggie]

I wanna give a huge thanks to ForeRunner Labs and Harbonah for giving me a chance to try out Alpha Hard and Reboot.

I started the Alpha Hard today.

1 cap an hour for 3 hours in the AM and the same for the PM dose. This will take some getting used to.

Starting weight is 179

Kill it Reg! I loved the 1st FRL stack they offered; doses had to be almost double the bottle requirements though to feel anything. Curious to see how these new products compare.

Will do brutha!! I was wondering about the doses myself. Guess we will see.

 

[niners4reggie]

Welcome wasme!

 

[pete8407]

Sometimes I can't get all the doses in the AM and PM perfectly. When I can't I just try to space them out evenly with food in my stomach

I've been doing 1 every three hours. Usually it times out perfect from wake up to bedtime

My problem is remembering each hour to do it. I'm old though and I think I have problems with memory, I can't remember though.

 

[kenpoengineer]

I'm in. Set timer reminder on smartphone? Old nosey guy question, how's your T, BP and cholesterol?

I think that may be what I need to do. Haven't run labs in awhile. Bp has been normal or least according to the bp checker at Walmart

 

[niners4reggie]

So I've got the dosing down pretty good I think. The alarm idea works great. Thanks kenpo!!

Today's training was pretty damn intense. I'm trying to shed some extra fat that I've accumulated by going high volume/cluster sets or at least my spin on them.

My first exercise I came up with was a seated curl ss with seated db press where I would do a 10x3 of each without rests between=1 set

[pete8407]

DB deads are super hard, man that's some good weight on those! Also your 1 are DB rows at 110, you definitely killed that session!

Thanks pete! I agree on the Db deads I would much rather do bb. I never feel like I quite have the form right with dbs

 

[pete8407]

Thanks pete! I agree on the Db deads I would much rather do bb. I never feel like I quite have the form right with dbs

I agree on the form. Do you put the DB's in front of you or at your sides?

 

[niners4reggie]

At my sides

Thanks bro, felt amazing to be back at it! Especially after what my diet has been like.

 

[kenpoengineer]

Glad you're back! Are you finding the high rep lifts are working more to build muscle compared to heavy low rep lifts? Or, is this while on cycle only?

It's honestly just to change things up a bit. I'm so limited at home. Kinda sucks

 

[niners4reggie]

Was able to go to my brothers today to train back and bis. I absolutely love that land mine attachment he has!!

Still kinda in limbo for results but aggression is definitely up!! No sides to report.

How are you dosing right now?

 

[niners4reggie]

How are you dosing right now?

I'm dosing 2/2/2

 

[pete8407]

I'm dosing 2/2/2

That's what I did for the first two weeks as well

 

[niners4reggie]

That's what I did for the first two weeks as well

Much easier for me to remember to take them. The dosing I would say imo is the only negative so far with the AlphaHard

 

[cheftepesh1]

I'd agree the dosing is a little rough

 

[harbonah]

Much easier for me to remember to take them. The dosing I would say imo is the only negative so far with the AlphaHard

Just do like i do get those 7 day aa week pill containers split up dosing in 3 or 4 of them pull out the correct one for the correct time of day. Try to time it around meals to make it easier to remember.

Just realized I hadn't posted yesterday's training.

4. Strength is slowly increasing

5. Endurance is up

 

[kenpoengineer]

Those bicep destroyers at the end, 20 lb must have felt like 100 by the end! Nice job Reggie!

 

[pete8407]

No sh!t, I normally use 10's. Hey Reggie have you noticed any lethargy?

 

[niners4reggie]

Those bicep destroyers at the end, 20 lb must have felt like 100 by the end! Nice job Reggie!

The first 50ish weren't too bad but from then on I had to rep out 10 quick then just hold the dbs and rest for a few seconds etc until I reached 100. Definitely harder than I thought it would be.

No sh!t, I normally use 10's. Hey Reggie have you noticed any lethargy?

Not yet, are you experiencing some lethargy?

 

[cheftepesh1]

I haven't. In fact I noticed I have more endurance

 

[pete8407]

I really haven't put 2 together but ever since I've upped the dose I've been sooooo tired!!!! Like no motivation

 

[cheftepesh1]

Really I added one more to each set and still good but I'll let you know

 

[niners4reggie]

My motivation was down for a few days but I had some craziness goin on round her lol but once I got back into it I've been fine.

Thanks guys! When life kicks you in the head lift something up and put it down. My training is about the only thing keeping me sane right now.

 

[cheftepesh1]

Been there and back

 

[niners4reggie]

Been there and back

Ya it sucks!! I need to win the lottery or something lol
