Alpha Stage

a phrase used to describe the first stages of a creative or developmental process, during which novel concepts are explored, experiments are conducted, and the project is still in its early stages of development. It represents an alpha-level exploration phase where testing new ideas, pushing limits, and setting the groundwork for later phases of development are the main priorities. The alphastage is a dynamic and adaptable phase that encourages risk-taking, inventiveness, and the search for novel solutions.

Person 1: "Hey, I've been working on that new software project. I'm not sure where to start."

Person 2: "Why not begin with the alpha stage? Just throw in your most creative ideas without worrying too much about perfection. We can refine things later in the development process."

Mr. Olympia bodybuilders stage collapse

Mr. Olympia bodybuilders stage collapse is when a bodybuilder literally collapses on stage due to muscle cramps and fainting and lacking electrolytes. Sometimes they survive and someone gives them Gatorade or Pedialyte. But sometimes they die. Or they get a heart attack and go to the hospital because of lacking electrolytes. And most times, they're not given electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Chloride) on time and they die. So basically, bring a bottle of Gatorade with you when bodybuilding, or you could end up dying. Imagine posing on stage and falling down and professionals rushing to give you help is the last thing you see before you die. The vast majority of deaths occur on stage. And then they end up in a bodybag. Rip bro. :'(

Tony: I'm on stage for Mr. Olympia, but brought Gatorade because I don't want to die. I don't want to be a Mr. Olympia bodybuilders stage collapse statistic.
