HRT taking it to the next level.

[dhagg]

I've been under Rage's guidance for well over a year now seeing the best results I have ever seen. I know how well HRT can work and want to prove it. So beginning January 1st I will be keeping a video journal highlighting my training, nutrition and daily routine running Metroflex Gym. Rage will be training me all along the way....stay tuned for more details from myself, Rage and Animal.

[RIOSHOWTIME2]

Your the owner of Metroflex? Pics look good. Just started HRT on December 26 myself. Good luck brother.

Your the owner of Metroflex? Pics look good. Just started HRT on December 26 myself. Good luck brother. Yeah owner of Metroflex Gym in San Marcos. I've ran HRT before with great success but I had hernia before and couldn't give 100% dieing to see the progress now that I can go balls out. Rage has been training me for almost 2 years and we feel it's time to get back on HRT and give everyone a taste of just how well HRT truly works.

[dhagg]

Just waiting to hear from the boss if this supp stack gets his approval.

Pak
Flex

Real Gains or Gain Max
Carb Max

That stack should do you VERY well. I'm jealous! Lol

[dhagg]

Sorry folks, got hit with an upper respiratory infection. As soon as I get the go ahead from my doc I'll get it going. I apologize for the delays.

[dhagg]

It has begun....today was day 1 and my partner and I broke in Metroflex Gym San Marcos with the HRT. Shoulder/Bi/Forearm is done....pain already setting in from this morning and appetite is through the roof. I see me regaining 270lbs easy on this path. I will update my supps and diet plan tomorrow as well as posting our journey on Youtube tomorrow.

[dhagg]

Ok...so I have been MIA, crazy with family, school, running the gym, and getting clients ready for their shows. I have been sticking to HRT Solo and Rage's guidance.

Supps:
Pak
Flex
Omega
Nitro
Pump
PM
Real Gains
Carb Max

Diet:

Meal 1
8 Whole Free Range Eggs
1.5 cups oats
1 cup mixed berries

Meal 2-6
8oz chicken or grass fed beef
2 cups basmati rice
1 cup spinach
10oz raw milk

Meal 7
4 scoops Real Gains
1 cup raw milk

Current weight 275lbs, 8%bf (In Jan I had dropped down to 230 and through HRT and this diet I have regained all my size plus some)
6'2"

I have about 8 more weeks of this plan and then will switch to show prep mode for the Central Texas Showdown in October. The goal is to hit 280-285 before we begin prep. I will still be using HRT Solo for my prep and any tweaks Rage adds into the mix.

I'm with you, I'm probably only going to do HRT from here out as my main mass gaining style of lifting (and cutting). Nothing else works like it!

[dhagg]

Last night was legs...

[dhagg]

Incline bench 275 x 8+6 (shoulder was hurting a bit)

[russ d]

Geat workout good to see you here

[dhagg]

Ok weight keeps bouncing between 268-275, which is normal for me as I burn easily. Getting my meals in but to increase cals I will be adding in a scoop or two of karbolyn during the day along with adding in 1-2 avocados through out the day with my meals.

[blinky99]

you look like bane

[dhagg]

Good Lord, appetite was through the roof today. One thing I would like to mention. Instead of a normal 4 day split with 3 days of rest I do it differently. SInce owning and running my own gym I use HRT like this, 2 days on, 1 day off, repeat. I feel like I get plenty of rest and recover just fine. Now I do listen to my body and when I'm just feeling like my dick is dragging in the dirt I'll take off an extra day.

[dhagg]

Shoulders/bis/forearms last night

Shoulder press smith machine 275 x 8+6 x 2
Side delt raises 45's x 8+6 x 2
Front delt raises 75 x 8+6 x 2
barbell curls 135 x 8+6 x 2
reverse curls 95 x 8+6 x 2
wrist hyper extensions 75 x 8+6 x 2
wrist curls 95 x 8+6 x 2

Feeling good. Joints have been hurting but I increased my water intake and added in some extra fish oils and it seems to be helping.

[dhagg]

Ok...I feel like **** right now. We did a video earlier of the leg workout and ended up with some really good shots.

Leg Press - 1100 x 8+6 x 2
Hack Squat - 4pps x 8+6 x 2
Leg Ext - stack x 8+6
Seated Leg Curls 160 x 8+6 x 2
Lying Leg Curls 180 x 8+6 x 2

Hamstrings feeling good and slowly getting a little higher with the weight. Can still feel a slight pull where I tore it last June.

[dhagg]

Getting the meals in, feeling good.

Chest/Tris
Decline bench 315 x 8+6 x 2
Incline Bench 275 x 8+6 x 2

Back at it again after giving myself a break from HRT.

I will be going all out next week and adding in some interesting twists to it, such as powercleans, snatch, squats, and deadlifts. Also on non-training days I will be using the sled, tire flips, stairs, farmers walk, etc as cardio.

Basically incorporating HRT into a Strongman based workout. SO here goes.

[mrdead]

Less talk... More work... *LOL*

[dhagg]

Less talk... More work... *LOL*Getting everything set up...still getting over bronchitis so not hitting too hard yet.

Did legs Monday, HRT shoulders/bi's Tuesday and Chest/Tri's today.....as of right now, entire upper body is aching. LOL

[dhagg]

Ok will finally post up my workouts later today so you can see how I am incorporating HRT into a strongman style workout....diet and supps to follow.

[naturalguy]

Strongman eh??? I like it

[jeffersd702]
