Thanks man, but really it is not as cool as it seems
I know about 3 of you will actually care, but I thought I would mention it…
I just put a new rant up on my log (Alpha’s work) for those of you who like them.
It is not as inspiring as my last one (It’s not intended to be) and will probably piss some people off, but it is something that I have been telling myself lately and thought I would share…
Thanks
Alpha your posts, work ethic, lifts and dedication are truely aspirational beyond anything I’ve see on this site, thanks for posting them up here.
I was looking for your log and I can’t seem to find it, anyone have a link?

He and the log are no longer here on T-Nation.
Search youtube he will still be adding videos.
What happened?
Alpha left the Nation? I am a sad man.
I am guessing that because he works for the “government”, it was hard to stay anonymous and post pics/vids often.
He had to report to CTU.

ummm well, we are never “inside” the gate…We never step foot inside embassies, or places considered “American soil” nor do we look like it…I haven’t cut my hair since oct. 2008 …just ask Stclair20…he calls me a hippy…
average week:
leave Sat…for foreign country… say kuwait…
get back tuesday mid day…what we did while there depends on the trip or needs of the us gov…
weds we head to someplace else…say atlanta…eat lunch or do what we need to do…then come home…
off for the next 2 days unless they (gov) need us for something else…
Lift when we can…and don’t make excuses for not being able to…
that about sums up my normal week[/quote]
wow… u got that big and ur that busy? I figured you were a desk jockey man!
Hey guys,
Yea, I am not TOTALLY gone, but my role has definitely changed. I had to go back to much more reading and much less posting. My log is gone for security purposes…i honestly miss doing it a ton but it is what it is.
I appreciate the kind words though!

Sorry that your role had to change but your note makes me happy. I thought it was a health related issue.

interesting read.
@alpha:
what are your methods if you stall on benching for example? Do you switch exercises,deload change volume,reps or do you follow a specific periodization scheme like DUP or sth?

Well the brain tumor doesn’t help…
For those who care…it has grown and is growing, and we still need to wait to do the biopsy to check for the big “C”

Thanks bro, I would love to—maybe in the future, only time will tell
Alpha,
Keep on kicking ass and taking names dude! Maybe I’ll run into you someday, you know, as an international troubleshooter.

well i don’t really stall too often, because the second progress starts slowing down I switch reps ranges and sometime exercises.
i’ll keep that until progress slows and just keep cycling programs like that. when i come back to the original stall point i have usually pushed through it.
i hope that helps

Can you repost your ‘words of wisdom’ at least? Also need a link for your YouTube. I also need …
