Olympus Labs AlphaBuild Log

I am about 16 days into logging AlphaBuild. The first 4 months or so of this year I had a goal to build strength. By the end of that I had put on a little bad weight and wanted to lean out for summer. I started a slow cut and after about 3 weeks of losing about 1 lb per week I started AlphaBuild.

I started my cut at 6'5 228 lbs and I'd guess 14% BF or so. I've been lifting for over 10 years and have tried a lot of different supplements over the years. By the time AlphaBuild was added I was at 225 lbs.

Since starting AlphaBuild my weight loss sped up a bit. I've lost 4 lbs in just over 2 weeks. But the main things I notice are how I feel.
-Increased sweating while working out for sure
-Increased pumps while working out to a small degree
-Increased muscle fullness for hours after my workout
-Slightly increased endurance for the weekly 1 mile runs I've done and also while lifting weights towards the end of a workout

The only negative is the capsules have a strong scent to them, but that's not a big deal.

I still have a couple weeks left and can't wait to see more progress. So far I would say this is a top tier supplement for recomping or holding muscle while cutting.
 
ya only gotta smell them for the half second from bottle to swallow unless you're crushing them up and railing them like coke.

Exactly. That's why it's not a big deal. Every once in awhile I burp shortly after which isn't pleasant...

LOL sometimes I can taste the MOFO orchic extract supp I take, but I pound those things... like a mofo. I usually take 3 or 4 caps at a time, huge swig of water, the chase it with coffee. I think when I swallow 3 or 4+ capsules at a time they leave the flavor more for me lol
 
Tomorrow will be my last day on AlphaBuild. It definitely shines as a recomp supplement for me, but I'll give a detailed update this weekend.

Looking forward to the detailed update! Sad that it will be your last day.
 
AlphaBuild was a great supplement for me. I started a slow cut at 228, after 3 weeks I added AlphaBuild at 225. I initially thought I’d drop weight down around 215-218 but the weight didn’t seem to drop off and it’s because I retained and even built some muscle during these 4 weeks. Considering I’ve been lifting consistently for 15 years that’s unheard of.
Week 1: lost 2 lbs
Week 2: lost 1 lb
Week 3: lost 1 lb
Week 4: lost 1 lb

Pros:
-Pumps were fantastic and lasted for hours. I just felt bigger and more full.
-I was sweating a lot more. It felt like I was taking several fat burners but I wasn’t all stimmed out.
-Endurance was up a bit. I play basketball once a week and noticed this helped. I also noticed it in higher volume workouts.
-I retained strength while losing 5 lbs so that was good.

Cons:
-I know people will give me a hard time but the capsules don’t smell good and even makes your hand smell after holding for 2 seconds. It didn’t bother me at all because the supplement worked.

Overall I lost 5 lbs in 4 weeks. This was not off from some break or anything like that. I’ve been consistent for years. I actually added almost 1/4 inch on quads, 1/4 inch on chest, while losing 3/4 inch on my waist. I know before and after pictures don’t show a ton but I feel it’s noticeable and in only 4 weeks on an experienced lifter.

Awesome feedback! A lot of pros from what I can see and read!
 
I like doing volume and burning fat without strong stims. Might give this a try sometime.
