Thanks Rage and Dead!

Here are my stats for the end of week one.
Beginning Weight =182
Ending Weight =186
Weight difference =+4lbs
Protein =255 not quite to 250.
Carbs =210 almost there
Appetite = 8 but that is waning.

My weight is up so I am stoked about that. Working on getting my carbs and protein in check. It is getting harder to fit 6 meals in during the day but I am being super creative. Will have pics up of super lasagna, low on carbs, heavy on protein and taste with veggies mixed in. I will also have hopefully two vids up.
Got bored today and wanted to cook something awesome. Meet my super protein lasagna. I think it ranges at 35-40 grams of protein per slice. Low on carbs since I use about only half a box of shells and no ricotta which keeps it on the low fat scale. Hope you guys like it..

Week 1 check in:


Beginning Weight = 208.5lbs
Ending Weight = 207lbs
Weight difference = -1.5lbs
Appetite: Through the roof


Weekly video update:



Feeling great and loving the HRT program. Would like some options on tricep exercises though. DB overhead ext cuts the blood off to my head, i assume my delts are digging into my neck and blood flow is stopped. Not a good thing when you nearly pass out. lol Can i use Close grip bench and press downs? Or what exercises do you suggest?

[squirrelmeister]

Here is a video of my HRT Week 1 on how things are going .



Beginning weight=175 lbs,
Weight This Week=181 lbs,
Weight Difference for the Week=+ 6 lbs,
Current Protein= SAME
Current Carbs Grams= SAME
Appetite [1(poor)-10(starving)]= Eating everything in site!! 6 meals and snacks throughout the day! (Trail mix and protein bars: GOOD SNACKS haha)

My weight is going up and making my motivation go through the roof!!! My will power to eat more is increasing and i drink nothing but water and protein shakes so everything is going great!!

Hope everyone is prepared for WEEK 2!!!

[14ETex]

Beginning weight=190 lbs,
Weight This Week=194 lbs,
Weight Difference for the Week= +4 lbs,
Current Protein= 260-280
Current Carbs Grams= 300-320
Appetite [1(poor)-10(starving)]= I've had a crazy appetite lately, eating evereverything I can. Don't know why I've been so hungry but its ok, helps me get the protein and carbs I need

I've been looking forward to Monday all weekend, I'm ready to see what kind of weight I'll be putting up this week. I love the fact that this program is a constant challenge, you have to want to put the work in and improve yourself. The thing about HRT though is for me atleast... once I started, I got hooked. Only time will tell just how much change this program will make in me. But I have nothing but time anyway!

Like these video updates. Nice work bro. Take care of those shoulders. For tri's you can always do some pushdowns, CGB or any other tricep exercise. Just keep the rep scheme the same and your golden. Thanks you for the update.

Like I said...these video updates are great feedback for me. Very useful when evaluating check ins so please keep posting them with your check ins here in this thread. By all means you can put them in your journeys too, I just find them very helpful here also.

No changes this week. That is a back increase in weight but I would except it to slow next week.

Thanks for the info my man. Shoulders are tender but trainable. Front raises with the bar hurt so i may change those as well.

Thanks Rage! Will keep up the video posting in the thread. I'm hoping to start doing a little more cardio so i can get more definition as i add mass. So i definitely don't want to be gaining too much weight that fast either haha. Thanks for everything! Kicking off week 2!!

Any movements that allow the wrists to move more independently will ease some tension on the shoulder joints. Lots of dumbbell work.

Let me make the call on the cardio. None for now unless your camp makes you, but I'm not going to let you get fat. I'll be asking everyone for more pics in the next couple weeks.

i used DBs today on front raises and it didnt hurt as much.

[ragingmuscle]

Looks like I'm handling 3 out of 6 diets in here. BB2K I know has a trainer, but not sure about you last two. Totally optional if you want to use me, but if you do, I need you to check in by noon PST. Let me know if I missed anyone.

RAGE, seeing as we all are doing a hard routine, should Animal Pak be taken twice a day or is once enough? I saw on the lable that 2 can be taken.

1 pak is good for now, but as you get closer to your contest, maybe around 8 weeks out, I'd up it to two per day. You know how the body gets very taxed on the last leg of the journey and the immune system can really take a hit.

awesome, thanks for the info.

I was curious about 2 paks a day myself. Here is a video of me doing my overhead triceps extensions, hopefully this works.

Weekly Update:

Weight This Week: 172lbs
Weight +/- From Last Week: +2lbs
Current Protein: 180-220/day
Current Carbs: 240-270/day
Appetite (1-10): 9 I want to eat constantly I think it's a combination of the intense training and the addition of Animal Pak, I've taken it in the past and my appetite increased
Water Intake: Around 1 gallon a day

Hopefully everything is in order this week I've upped my carbs/protein from last week I haven't really kept track of fats since I'm on a bulk however I'm still using some common sense I'm trying to get swole not obese.

Also Rage or G if one of you gets a chance to look over my training logs can you let me know if I should switch any out or keep it the same? I'm trying to stick to the program to a T with a few minor changes due to equipment or lack of at my gym.

In an effort to create continuity, some order, and decrease confusion....

Video updates go in your logs, workouts and daily meals and diets go in your logs. Weekly summary updates go in the Official Check-in Threads...
