Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Shannon]

Shannon do you think its a good idea to run alpha over and over back to back or take breaks and come back to it every so often?

Also do you think that it is healthy to run subs for years with no extended breaks? I've read threads of guys who are getting brain fog and Dzemoo said something about his brain slowing down due to 3 years straight running subs.

I read above that you ran alpha 5 times but with 6 month breaks in between. Do you think that you would have gotten better results if you had run alpha twice as much in the same amount of time in place of the breaks?

I did it the way I did it because there was nothing like it then, and I was the only one using it. The first couple versions were made for me, and it was only later that I started offering the 2008 version for sale. I used it for six months and then stopped because I thought I had permanent results. As it turned out, within 6 months, I needed a refresher, so I made a new version and ran it. Each time I did that I thought I was done, and over time, I saw the effects reducing. So I ran it again.

I think if I had the ability to go back in time, I would probably run it for 6 months, take a break of some weeks, and then run it again for six months. You guys now have the ability to benefit from the experiences of many who came before you.

That said, some will find that a longer break is more useful. I would say 1-3 months in that case might be better than 6. But I'm quite sure I'd have gotten better results if I had run it back to back.
