SSJ4GOD’s Unsponsored OL AlphaBulk Log

[SSJ4GOD]

Alright guys. Putting everything aside, I want to see what this is all about. I believe OL to be a well intentioned company and I am super curious about this main ingredient. I’m dropping a picture of my receipt as proof I purchased this (ignore the suppress c and inhibit-p as those are not for this cycle. Will this product live up to the hype? We will find out. I’m going to be brutally transparent about everything from aftertaste, effects, and side effects. I was already pretty honest in their intro thread that I am not a big fan of the packaging but that’s just packaging lol.

I purchased 1 bottle of Alpha Bulk. This is a 30 day supply. I believe most people will run 30-60 day cycles of it so I wanted to do a 30 day to see what it can really do in a short period of time. I have used all ingredients in this product before (not together though) besides the new a-cedrene. You can read a little article about it here: HERE

anyways, I just ordered today so it will arrive in 3-5 days. I will say I had a tracking number maybe 2 hours after purchase. I will update this log as close to daily as I can. Stats, workout and diet details will be posted day 1 of the log. I am dropping use of all my supplements during this run except my TRT and my multivitamin.

If I die I die lol . Nah I have no concerns about toxicity or anything like that. I am curious about the potential of burping up some cedar flavor though. We shall see.

One of the claims is that it increases strength . Would be cool to do a strength test . Start of log bench this weight times x amount of reps. End of log repeat test and see if there’s any difference . Could also do it with a pr test or something like that.

 

[Segansational]

Ok, I'm in for this.

I will be doing a few tests to include strength, 1 rep max, and endurance for reps.

In on this!

 

[SSJ4GOD]

Hey guys. I wanted to post an interesting little thing on the delivery system in this product. Like many of you, when I hear olfactory delivery system my first thought was “oh that’s the nose!”. Well it turns out that Olfactory receptor are in a bunch of other organs and do a lot more than I ever thought.

[SSJ4GOD]

NEVERMIND! Order straight up teleported and is arriving today. Log starts on Monday because I’m not doing anything on Sunday lol

 

[hercules_22]

Following along took my first dose today fasted preworkout.

 

[SSJ4GOD]

got it in hand!

 

[SSJ4GOD]

Ok opened it up. Capsules have a citrusy smell. I liken it to an essential oil while my wife said it smells like cleaner. It’s not a bad smell by any means. Capsules have oil on them as well particulates inside (assuming some things are not soluble. Smell seems to linger a bit and after handling a capsule it seems to make my hand have the scent for a bit. Just some first day observations.

Can confirm the cedar burps are pretty gnarly. I might only take this after a meal.

OK guys here we go! @Smont

SSJ4GOD'S LOG START
Age: 31 Years Old
Height: 5'9''
Weight: 220.6 in the AM
Goals: I am looking for a recomp/cutting effect from this supplement. The study done on rats indicted no weight change but made them stronger and more muscular. I am also lowering calories so we will see.

Diet: I eat pretty much the same thing every day for post workout and lunch. Dinner is the only major change. I intermittent fast and eat on an 11am-5pm schedule.
Post workout at 11am: 40 gram protein shake
Lunch at 12: Large salad (add cheese, bacon bits, and some steak or chicken) with a sandwich(either tuna or turkey)
Snack at 2: 40 gram protein Shake
Dinner at 4/5: Steak or chicken normally with a side and another salad but occasionally something else. Tonight is steak and eggs for example with a baby spinach salad.

On an average day I hit about 200-225g of protein. I limit super processed foods and pastas so I usually don't even track carbs or fats. Calories for this log will average at 2200 a day, maybe hitting 2400 max. Intermittent fasting is fantastic for limiting how much I can get in.

Workout: I workout at 9 am Monday-Friday. Monday is chest and tris, Wednesday is Legs and Shoulders, Friday is Back and Bis. In between those days I workout core and do kettlebells. Every day 7 days a week I walk 2.5 miles minimum and sometimes 5 miles.

Supplements:
I am taking TRT as I have been for years.
Of course OL ALPHA BULK
Preworkout
Animal Pak multivitamin
Melatonin
Remelteon sleep prescription

I have stopped all other supplements/drugs and will not add anything for the entirety of this log.

DAY 1:
Took 3 caps of Alpha Bulk with my pre workout at 8:15 am. Started burping of the scent of the Alpha Bulk about 15 minutes later and it continued all day. If you can, I recommend taking with a meal but...even after my meals I still burp it up. I workout at planet fitness so please excuse my use of machines lol
I arrived at the gym at 9 and performed the following for chest and tris:

Hammer Strength Incline Press

20lbs each side for 25 reps

30lbs each side for 25 reps

50lbs each side for 12 reps

75lbs each side for 10 reps


Seated Triceps press machine (matrix)

40lbs for 25 reps

60lbs for 25 reps

100lbs for 12 reps

140lbs for 10 reps

160lbs for 8 reps


Chest press dumbbell

40lbs for 12 reps

60lbs for 10 reps

80lbs for 8 reps


Tricep Single rope pull down

10 lbs for 20 reps each side

15 lbs for 10 reps each side


Tricep push down

30lbs for a 100 reps


Dumbbell flys

30lbs for 12 reps

35lbs for 10 reps

40lbs for 8 reps


Cable crossovers

20lbs for 50 reps


Because I am limited to machines for most things, I make sure I take my time and focus on contraction. One good thing is a lot of these machines have set timers and rep counters on them so I can make sure I am not just rushing through to push weight. Got in a 2.5 mile walk after the gym and another 2.5 mile walk before dinner.

Day 1 thoughts: Burps were harsh so hopefully that gets better. One kinda big thing I noticed is I had like a significant decrease in brain fog today. I have pretty consistent brain fog that not a lot of things break so if that is an effect of this supplement, its so worth it. Lifting intensity felt good and at no point did this product upset my stomach or anything. Noticeable extension of pump after workout. We shall see how this progresses.

 

[jrod]

What's ur TRT dosage? I just received my AB order today and will start it tomm.

 

[pfresh]

nice workout , are you running a program?

 

[_Nutriverse]

Are you taking rameleton and melatonin together or just that version of melatonin?

also have you considered doing a sleep study? I did one last year and had life changing results. Happy to discuss via dm.

 

[SSJ4GOD]

I did. I actually had 2 done. First one my insomnia was so bad they couldn’t do anything. Once I’m asleep I’m asleep. But at my worst it was a common occurrence to take 2-3 hours to fall asleep. I got diagnosed with circadian rhythm disorder. And I take both. I take 5 mg of melatonin almost right after dinner and then I take the rameleton 30 mins before bed. I only take the melatonin for the spectrum of its benefits and the remelteon is more specific in what it targets. Either way I feel much better than I did on ambien or lunesta and even unisom.

 

[SSJ4GOD]

nice workout , are you running a program?

Yes the SSJ4GOD program lol . No seriously I go to the gym and just do what feels good that day. I don’t hold myself to certain things. But I definitely do have my favorites.

 

[SSJ4GOD]

What's ur TRT dosage? I just received my AB order today and will start it tomm.

150mg/wk. been on it a while so body is adjusted. Good luck with your alpha bulk. Day 1 was pretty good

 

[NoAddedHmones]

You can split dosages throughout the day, which should mitigate any burps.

Did you have a MSLT? You sound like you may have idiopathic hypersomnia or even narcolepsy. Xywav would be a great medication for you to pursue with your sleep doctor if that were the case.

I did. If the remelteon starts failing, I will definitely look into that. But right now I feel good and sleeping good.

Day 2:
Today was core and kettle bell day. I took it easy because I want to hit legs hard tomorrow.
Workout today was as follows:
All movements done with a 35lb kettlebell.

kettle bell swings
10 sets of 10
30 seconds between sets

single arm swings
10 sets of 10 each side with 1 minute rest after both arms finished a set.

kettle bell clean and press
10 sets of 10 each side with 1 minute rest after both arms finished a set.

Planks
3 sets of 1 minute

sit-ups
10 sets of 10

leg raises
10 sets of 10

And finished off with a 2.5 mile walk

day 2 thoughts: didn’t go heavy or anything so not too much to report. Perhaps more sweat than usual. Definitely again feeling brain fog going away. BIG DEAL: Only had the burps for an hour or so after dosing today! So hopefully it continues to improve but if not, I can totally deal with an hour of burps a day lol

Nice log so far dude. I had one question . are you dozing all the caps at once or you split them up throughout the day .I’m curious about the burps . I definitely don’t want cedar burps all day long

 

[SSJ4GOD]

I dose all at once preworkout. First day had cedar burps all day. Today, just for an hour. I will keep reporting on it to see if it’s just a thing the body needs to adjust to or if it’s just going to happen regardless.

They're actually not bad you get used to them and they have a fruity taste haha.

Came home and walked 2.5 miles with a 20lb weight vest.
