Thanks as always man. Cissus is a miracle for me. I can barely move without it sometimes. My elbows get to the point where I have to roll out of bed because I can't stand the pain of putting any weight on them. I'd recommend Super Cissus or Cissus XT as they're the only ones I've tried. Both are very effective for me and provide quick relief.

Day 12
I'm not positive, but I think I slept through the night without interruption. However, I woke up tired having only slept about 5 hours. I'm going to try ABE pre bed on a night where I can actually sleep in a little and see how that goes.
I had a mix of FP and RL Alphamine (1 scoop each) first thing this morning. It was a delicious combo (thanks LTL). A cap of EP and some Cissus XT were taken with the Alphamine about 40 mins before breakfast. I dosed 2 caps of ABE with my food, which I couldn't completely finish. It was a 1700 calorie meal and I had to tap out due to the appetite suppression from Alphamine.

Thanks man. I always used super cissus in the past, but got a good deal on Cissus XT and gave it a shot. I've gone through 4+ bottles and can't tell a difference in effectiveness between the two. I feel bad for cheating on super cissus though, especially after everything its done for me lol.

Day 12 continued
I started feeling rundown as soon as I finished lunch today and immediately began watching the clock in anticipation of my afternoon Alphamine. I mixed up 2 scoops of RL and it gave me enough energy to finish up the rest of the workday. It didn't give me a crazy/intense boost, but it definitely brought me back to life and turned around what would have been a miserable afternoon. I started getting hungry not long ago, which was 5 hours after dosing. That's a decent amount of time considering my normal appetite.
I'll be heading to the gym for an arm focused workout. I'm about to take the following with a small meal:
2 caps ABE
2 scoops TPwder
20 X-Gels
3 scoops GlycerGrow
1.5g ALCAR
1g Calcium
1 scoop CF Focus XT
200mg caffeine

Day 13
My sleep quality was awful last night. I was waking up/rolling around every hour. I don't know if its a coincidence, but I didn't dose ABE pre bed last night. It was really rough getting out of bed and 2 scoops of Alphamine are the only reason I'm functioning at this point. I can't wait until the workday is over and I am able to catch up on some sleep tonight.
I had a cap of EP and some Cissus XT with my Alphamine and 2 caps of ABE with my breakfast. I wasn't thinking about a pre bed cap of ABE at the time, but will use one if I end up skipping the gym. I'll see how I feel by the time I get home from work.
Breakfast was once again a challenge. I'm going to have to sit down and rethink my meal timing/size because Alphamine is making my breakfast a big task. I'm glad I'll have the ability to hold off on eating tomorrow morning with the day free from work.
My weight this morning was 211.4lbs (+4lbs overall). I'm still surprised by how I could be up this much weight at this point. However, without any noticeable negative weight added, I'm not complaining.

Thanks Dj. Yeah the 4lbs is more than expected. I'm still waiting to see it drop a little. I've gained weight like this before (last time I ran ABE) and it usually slowly drops or levels off for a while after the initial gain. We will have to wait and see what happens.

Day 13 continued
I don't think I've ever been happier to see the weekend. All I could think about at work was just making it through the day still on my feet. I was beyond tired after lunch and 2 scoops of Alphamine a couple hours later helped my energy a small amount. I'm not sure any amount of stims could go up against the stretch of long physical workdays with 4-5 hours of sleep daily. I thankfully got out of work around 3PM, went home, and eventually passed out for a couple hours (2 hours after dosing Alphamine).
I feel much better after one of the few naps I've taken since I was a little kid. I didn't think I would, but I'll be heading to the gym for a leg workout in about an hour. This gives me the opportunity to use tomorrow as a complete rest day, with both work and the gym off.
I'll be taking the following with a small meal prior to the gym:
2 caps ABE
2 scoops TPwder
20 X-Gels
3 scoops GlycerGrow
1.5g ALCAR
1g Calcium
1 scoop CF Focus XT

I've been having trouble finishing my larger afternoon/evening meals since upping my second dose of Alphamine to 2 scoops. I may have to lower the dose due to the amount of food I need on a daily basis. Even if I transition into a recomp/cut the last few weeks of my run, I'd still need around 5000 calories (sometimes more) depending on my daily activity.

Nice job on those lifts bro. I have been shortening my leg days lately but seem to be seeing more increase each week. Think my legs respond better to less substance.
I've been noticing an increase in appetite suppression by using the night time dosing of ABE. The difference is insane that it makes on appetite. ABE has me eating everything in sight even with the alpha. I also seem to be waking up dry and slim with the late dose too so I may keep doing it this way. Keep updating on this as well if you could please.

Thanks dude. I would've preferred a few more sets/exercises, but it doesn't seem to make a big difference in my results. Strength was up after doing marathon squats last week instead of my usual 5-6 heavier sets and other exercises. As long as I keep good form and have trouble walking out of the gym I'm happy.
As far as I can tell ABE is having no impact on the appetite suppression from Alphamine. Hunger increases with ABE are sporadic, if at all with me. I would normally never get the feeling of being "full" after a large meal, but Alphamine completely cancels that out.
I believe that I saw you were dosing your Alphamine with food before. I think that might make a difference in the level of appetite suppression. Are you now consistently taking it on an empty stomach? My early morning dose is at least 35 mins before eating anything and I wait 1.5-2 hours after eating for my afternoon scoops.
I'll be trying ABE pre bed again tonight and will keep you posted on the results.

Day 14
I doubled the amount of sleep I had averaged during the work week last night. As a result, I woke up feeling like a new man.
My weight dropped a good amount and is right in line with what I was looking for at this point. The scale read 208.8lbs (+1.4lbs overall) shortly after waking up. I expect this to be where it will bottom out and I'll work to keep it moving forward at a similar pace for the time being. I was looking a little leaner overall this morning as well. This was most noticeable around my abs.
I had 2 scoops of Alphamine with a cap of EP right when I got up. I was pretty hungry prior to dosing, but that soon went away. It was another 3 hours before I decided to have my first meal of the day. Holding off on food post Alphamine made my large meal a much more enjoyable experience. I was able to finish it completely without a struggle.
I had 2 caps of ABE and 2 scoops of TPwder with my meal and will continue to dose ABE throughout the day. I'll be saving a cap or two for pre bed as well.
With the day off from X-Gels I'll dose 2 caps of Cissus XT 2-3 times mainly for preventative purposes. My joints are in decent shape and I would like to keep them that way.

Appetite suppression was there with my afternoon dose of Alphamine. It took me quite a while to finish my first meal about 1.5 hours later. My hunger has recently returned to somewhat normal and I was able to finish a large dinner pretty easily. I'm truly impressed with the appetite suppression I get from Alphamine as I've never had this result from products claiming to do the same.
I had another 2 caps of ABE with meals throughout the day and I'm dosing my final 2 pre bed. I'm curious to see what I'll notice, if anything, when I have the opportunity to sleep more than 5 hours.

Day 15
I noticed a couple things after dosing 2 caps of ABE pre bed. I woke up once to use the bathroom during my sleep, but it was shortly before I was planning on getting up anyways. This was an improvement from the 2-3 times I normally do this throughout the night. I also had a couple of vivid dreams which doesn't happen very often for me. These experiences could be a coincidence, but I'm starting to think otherwise. I'll most likely save a cap for pre bed dosing tonight as well.
I woke up and immediately had 2 scoops of FP Alphamine with a cap of EP. I was able to handle a decent sized breakfast about 1.5 hours later without a problem. This was my pre workout meal and I dosed 2 caps of ABE and 2 scoops of TPwder with it.
I'm about to finish up my pre workout supplementation with the following:
20 X-Gels
3 scoops GlycerGrow
2g ALCAR
1g calcium
1 scoop CF Focus XT
I'll be working chest/triceps and will probably have to work at an accelerated pace. I have a couple errands to run before I get home to watch football.

My large calorie requirement mixed with appetite suppression can be difficult at times. If I was eating about 4500 cals or below I wouldn't see there being any struggle.

I hap 2 scoops of FP Alphamine with a cap of EP and some Cissus XT. I really didn't want to be up, but the extra energy was a nice help.
I had a big breakfast with a cap of ABE which wasn't too hard to finish. I should be lifting after work and will dose the remaining 5 caps around my workout and pre bed.

Work wasn't as physically demanding today and I made it through with plenty of energy. I was feeling a little sluggish after lunch, but 2 scoops of RL Alphamine quickly turned things around and had me energized. I'm starting to get hungry now, which is 4 hours after dosing, and just in time for my pre workout meal.

The pump was pretty strong, but again wasn't anything that out of the ordinary. I felt great anyways and I'm not worried about it.
I had 2 caps of ABE with my shake immediately following my workout on the ride home.
I think that the Mucuna Puriens (L-DOPA) in TPwder could be adding to the mood enhancement I'm experiencing. I believe it could also have a part in the deeper sleep/vivid dreams as of late...I'm not sure why I didn't think of this until now.
I plan on dosing a cap of ABE pre bed. After considering the possible effects of L-DOPA I'm not sure what to think about the ABE pre bed. Starting tomorrow I'll go without it before bed and see if the deeper sleep and/or vivid dreams continue.
I'm getting pretty excited about the stack going forward (not that I wasn't already). I've responded very well to DAA in the past and I seem to be heading down a similar path. Everything is starting to get going in full gear and it should be fun.
I'm now convinced that the DAA is in full effect. My workout once again felt and went great. Strength as well as my mood were up.

Day 17
I stayed up later than I would've like watching football and I'm paying the price this morning. 2 scoops of Alphamine (with EP and Cissus XT) have me going with good energy, but I have a feeling the lack of sleep will have an effect as the day goes on.
I had 2 caps of ABE with my breakfast and will have 4 caps around my workout. I'll be skipping the pre bed dose tonight.
After reading a few Alphamine threads I discovered that it would be beneficial to go without food as long as possible after dosing Alphamine (2-3 hours would be a good start). This allows the a-2 antagonism aspect from Yohimbe to take place which would be cut short by food otherwise. I wait a good 3-5 hours after my second dose, but usually only have about 35-40 mins after Alphamine before breakfast. I might mix up a scoop tonight and drink it when I normally wake up to use the bathroom sometime between 3-4am. This would give me 3 hours before ingesting any food. I would save a scoop for when I wake up as well. Obviously stims while sleeping isn't ideal, but considering my stim tolerance and that I fall back asleep within seconds of going to the bathroom I might give it a test run. Holding off on food in the morning would be the best option, but I don't see that possible with the amount I consume and my schedule. On the weekend I will continue to hold off on food following my morning dose as I have been.
Edit: I'm leaning towards bailing on this idea. Any thoughts?

Day 17 continued
My morning dose of Alphamine gave me the energy needed to make it through the morning. However, soon after lunch a was feeling pretty rundown. I kept checking the time as I waited for 1.5 hours to pass before taking another 2 scoops. After my afternoon dose I was able to cruise through the rest of the day with decent energy. I don't have to be at work until 11am tomorrow, so I'll be able to get some quality sleep as well as hold off on eating after my first dose of Alphamine in the morning.
I'll be heading to the gym for a shoulder/ trap workout shortly. I'm a little more tired than I'd like, but I'm excited to hit the gym. The last few workouts have been great and I'm hoping to continue the trend.
I'll be dosing the following with a light pre workout meal:
2 caps ABE
2 scoops TPwder
20 X-Gels
3 scoops GlycerGrow
1.5g ALCAR
1g Calcium
1 scoop CF Focus XT
200mg caffeine

Day 17 continued
The gym was a great time. I added in a few different exercises and didn't have many repeats from last week, so any strength increases were harder to gauge. Regardless of the exercises performed, I felt strong and left feeling accomplished.

I was in a great mood throughout my workout again. The pump ended up pretty intense towards the end of my routine
I had 2 caps of ABE with my protein and oats shake following my workout.
My libido has been up the last couple days which is always nice to see. Ever since I got sick about 1.5 years ago it has been basically non existent besides when I've used DAA. It'd be nice if it stuck around permanently, as it seems to be the final step in getting my old self back.
I won't be dosing ABE pre bed and am curious to see if I notice any differences.
I have a late start to the work day tomorrow and will be able to get some good rest. It couldn't have come at a better time and should help me recharge/get through the rest of the week . I'll also have the luxury of holding off on breakfast after my morning Alphamine dose.

Thank you very much fumoney. I'm really enjoying the log and I find it a great way to stay extra focused. Sitting down and analyzing what's going on each day helps keep me on the right track for a successful run. I thought perhaps it was the type of log people didn't want to see considering how dead its been the last few days lol. Either way, I plan on staying consistent and trying my best to get the most out of this.

Day 18
The couple extra hours of sleep last night had me feeling refreshed this morning. I woke up to 2 scoops of FP Alphamine, a cap of EP, and some Cissus XT.
With my morning free I waited about 3 hours before having breakfast. I had 2 caps of ABE with my food and the appetite suppression wasn't nearly as strong after waiting to eat.
I weighed exactly 209lbs (+1.6lbs overall) this morning. Any weight added looks to be a positive as I don't see any fat gain. I actually think I look slightly leaner than when I started. The difference is very minimal, but with my weight being up overall I'm pleasantly surprised.
There have been a few days where I haven't quite hit my intended calorie target. On those days I've been above maintenance, but fell 200-300 calories short due to appetite suppression from Alphamine. If anything this will make "tightening up" in the last few weeks of my run easier.
