AH/AL Cycle

A little about me
Before April 22nd 2011, my birthday, I hadn't hit the gym in well over 2 years. I was looking in the mirror and decided enough is finally enough. Couldn't really stand what I saw and made the decision to get a better, healthier, lifestyle. After reading numerous logs of AH/AL I ordered some for myself. Knowing that it was out of stock for at least a month, I figured that would give me a few weeks to get a base together. I've hit the gym 5x a week, since that date. The AH/AL came in the mail 2 days ago and I am super stoked to see the results.

I will be taking 2 AH & AL x 2 per day, for 6 weeks.

My stats
25 years old
5'9
172 lbs
12.5% bf

Goal
Bringing out my abs and obliques while also lowering body fat %.

Workouts
Typically I am not able to workout on Saturday or Sunday due to long work hours and the gym closing early on Sunday.

Monday - Chest
At gym abs (4 exercises x 4 sets) *weighted resistance
At home abs (4 exercises x 3 sets to failure)

Tuesday - Biceps and Shoulders
At gym abs (1 exercise x 8 sets)
At home abs (4 exercises x 3 sets to failure)

Wednesday - Back and Triceps
At gym abs (4 exercises x 4 sets) *weighted resistance
At home abs (4 exercises x 3 sets to failure)

Thursday - Legs
At gym abs (1 exercise x 8 sets)
At home abs (4 exercises x 3 sets to failure)

Friday - sauna and cardio (20 min stair climber)
At gym abs (4 exercises x 4 sets) *weighted resistance
At home abs (4 exercises x 3 sets to failure)

Saturday & Sunday - off

Diet
My main focus is protein. I will eat around 300-400g of protein per day. Not sure my caloric or fat intake...

I have uploaded photos from April 22nd (first day back in the gym) and today. I created a gallery in my profile called 6 week cycle.
 
Dosage
2 AH & AL 9 am. 2 more of each 6 hrs later.

Motivation
Through the roof. Excited to start a new stack

Libido
Nothing to report right now

Strength
Feeling pretty strong and not tiring easy today

Energy
Didn't tire easily at all. Never really got winded. I typically take 2 minute breaks between sets but decided I am going to try taking 30-60 sec breaks in hopes of increasing fat loss.

Agression, Acne, Hair loss
None.

Water retention
A little more vascular than normal

Comments
Had decent sized pumps today. Didn't sweat very much but I am not a big sweater in general. Great workout for first day...

crazy thing is, i've never had a solid diet either. through most of the last 2 years i've eaten fast food on a very regular basis. i feel hopeful about this cycle, for sure! also, i'll never let myself go like that again either
 
Dosage
2 AH & AL 10:30 am. 2 more of each 6 hrs later.

Motivation
Solid.

Libido
Nothing to report right now

Strength
n/a today

Energy
fairly energetic today until the last 5 minutes or so. all the sudden i got extremely hot and sluggish. nothing major though!

Agression, Acne, Hair loss
None.

Water retention
n/a

Comments
about an hour after leaving the gym my nose started to bleed. i figure this is coincidence but maybe not?

also, i've been peeing much more than normal since starting this cycle, although i am basically drinking the same amount of water.

that's all for today.

Raise your water intake and check your BP.

any reason why you went with 6 weeks at 2 pills each instead of 4 weeks at 3 pills each?
Click to expand...
no particular reason. i kind of thought 2 extra weeks on cycle would be more effective than an extra pill per day. am i incorrect in that assumption? i could always up my dosage...
 
Dosage
2 AH & AL 9:30 am. 2 more of each 6 hrs later.

Motivation
Great motivation today

Libido
High

Strength
Higher than normal

Energy
Great energy today. I am really enjoying these 30-60 sec rests between sets. It is keeping my heart rate up yet I am not TOO winded to have a solid workout

Agression, Acne, Hair loss
None.

Water retention
Spotted a few new veins today

Comments
I don't have a workout partner so I typically only lift with db's on chest. I was able to get 75 lb db's 10x on my first set (I usually get 6-7), then on sets 2-4 I got them at least 5x per set, doing drop sets with 60 lb db's...so my strength and energy are definitely up some.

I am wondering if I up my dosage to 3x per day, if i'd see more progress than the 2x per day. Thoughts?
 
Dosage
2 AH & AL 8:30 am. 2 more of each 6 hrs later.

Motivation
Extremely solid

Libido
Slightly higher than normal

Strength
Higher than normal

Energy
Great workout today. Had solid energy without ever feeling very winded

Agression, Acne, Hair loss
None.

Water retention
Somewhat vascular today

Comments
Had a great workout in general. I am enjoying the results of the AH/AL so far. Not getting winded although I am taking quicker breaks in between and able to do more than I typically do is a nice combo!
 
Regarding the nosebleed- When the weather gets warmer and the air gets drier, sometimes its enough to dry out the skin and cause a nosebleed. Dont know where you live, but thought you may want to hear that.

I started getting nosebleeds at my work and they gave me a vaseline type of product that you just put up in there to keep things from drying up. Good to hear it hasnt hit you again. Any updates?
