I'm a 37 year old male transitioning from CrossFit to Strongman. 8 weeks from today I will be competing and have decided to stack X Gels and Alphamax to help me meet my goals. This is an unsponsored log. I will offer up my honest opinions at all times.
My goal...get stronger! CrossFit has helped me build work capacity. Now, I need to be able to lift heavy things.
I'll be competing in the 220 open class and my weight never goes above 225.
Today's training...
Axle push press...work up to a heavy 5
-120,140,160,180,200
Axle C&J for 1:00...accumulate 10 reps
-200 x 6 in :50
-200 x 4 in :35
Yoke x 50' in under :10
-240,330,420,510,510
Stone over 53" bar...lap 3-load1 x 3
-230,265,285
Coming off a deload week. Everything felt great. Could've gotten after it a bit more. Overall, solid day of work without smashing myself.
I've been on X Gels for 3 weeks now. I don't notice any increase in DOMS or an increased pump. I have noticed a serious increase in strength. This could be due to my new training program. However, I'd like to think the X Gels are playing a part.
Today is my first day taking Alphamax...
