Animal Hell-Raiser Training (HRT) Official Q&A Thread

[mrdead]

Great style of training but I don't have a training partner MOST of the time so can I do other techniques like drop sets or something after the regular sets? Thanks this trainer will be AWSOME

I would also like to know how this workout would be without a workout partner. I dont always have a workout buddy due to conflicting schedules with my job. I'm sure there will be ways to work around this but confirmation would be good.

I know this will be a concern for some guys interested in this training system. The traditional HRT program, as is to be laid out here, absolutely necessitates having a trusted partner who understands the nuances of this kind of advanced spotting.

That said, I know Tom will have some tricks, tips and techniques for those of you with a sincere interest in HRT but who happen to train solo.

Peace, G

in for tips on how to do this solo as I have no partner

You have just stumbled across the official Hell Raiser Training thread. Congrats. Depending on your perspective, this could be an unfortunate turn of events, as there is a lot of pain in your near future. However, you just might be the kind of crazy iron addict who is committed to building the most muscle you ever have in just 12 short weeks and will stop at nothing to get there. If you are that rare breed, you’ve found your new home.
My guess is that most of you will not make it all 12 weeks. Simply put, there are those who sit idly by and dream about big things and those who actually get **** done. Which one are you?

Yeahhhhhhhh!!!!! I can't wait! 10/28/2011 I'm ready!!! Looking forward to train like an animal!

You probably will not get many responses in this thread.

Read all the stickies in the losing fat sub-forum and nutrition sub-forum and that will get you started.

Hey Rage,

Really excited for HRT, and ALWAYS a supporter of anything "Animal". Anyone who wouldn't be allowed in "Planet Fitness" is a friend of mine.

The description says this is low-volume/high intensity training? I've been lifting using the Arnold method, high reps with a 12,10,8,6 set-up with progressive increase on poundages, which really seems to pack on size for me. I want to try HRT, but I can't see how I'm going to get massive size gains if I'm doing low volume strength training. I've been lifting for a couple years now and map out all of my workouts using Arnold's encyclopedia revised edition. I really want to try HRT, but I'm skeptical of the low volume aspect for size gains. Can I get a little perspective?

Get swole,

if you lift without warming up, thats your fault.

[JMcGrath90]

I've been counting down the days, minutes, seconds. Couldn't be more excited. Any chance it'll be ready at 12 on the dot? ha

its 80% of your 1RM. the workout is based on hypertrophy...the pump...its not the easiest workout. just give it a shot, and see what happens! (im sure this doesnt answer your question, but ive started this workout, and its tougher than expected!)

Rage, I'm finishing up your 12 week transformation on Sunday. Overall I'm very pleased with the results I produced. I didn't see much in the way the scales changed but I saw alot of change in the mirror and as you said many times during the series, the changes that you see in the mirror are really what matters. I appreciate the way that you pushed me during the last 12 weeks. I really felt like you were speaking directly to me. Thank you for that, my strength has gained significantly. My question pertains to the diet and supplement implementation. Although I never missed a workout, I didn't really follow the supplements and meal times like you suggested. Quite honestly, I found it to be confusing when to take what and what to take when. My work schedule is very busy but no busier than anyone else's especially yours. You live the life so it is probably easier for you. What suggestions could you give someone as to when to take what supplement when? Thanks for your help, I'm not sure if I will do this new program right away, I'm considering doing another round of the transformation.
