Do I do this just once in this thread? Do you want me to continue my other thread where I have posted my other information?

[NW GYM RAT]

My beginning weight was 166. And my weight as of yesterday was 169. My current average daily protein intake is between 250 and 300 per day, and my carb intake is between 200 and 250. I have tended to be hungry, the more I work out the hungier I become.

I will be posting a picture of myself tonight.

These are the basics of what I need from week to week. Next week she will give me her update in the same format so I can get an idea of how shes doing and if any other immediate adjustments should be made. You can also add in your appetite on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being starving.

RAGE ... I did my stats last Thursday so tomorrow I'll post this week's weight , I am positive its more cause of the consistent eating. I'll post pics too . I'm lovingthe feeling of being full and solid that comes with consistency in diet. I love how it helps your body feel strong and ready to give it all each session. And with this type of training anything else will leave you sick on the floor rather than hungry for more .. love it .. you are THEEE MAN

Week 1 Check In

Rockwood (Cody)
Beginning weight=355 lbs
Weight This Week=355 lbs
Weight Difference for the Week= n/a

Current Protein = 312 grams
Current Carbs = 208grams
Appetite = If I eat on time 5-6. Not hungry between meals.

Side Note: I'm trying to keep fats below or as close as possible to 25g like I've been seeing you tell others.

TheLetterF (Ian)
Beginning weight = 172
Weight this week = 172
Weight difference for the week = n/a

Diet: Ian is currently not on a solid diet. He's focusing on finishing up his school year with finals next week before he makes the dramatic transition. I'm also having him record down everything he's eating so I can help him find things that fit his diet that he won't hate to eat all the time.

Oh wow this is pretty cool, were going to get help from Tom regardless of not being official competitors. Well I was one of the unlucky ones not chosen, and will do my official non official check in on Monday of January 2nd, 2012. Just on my last 3 weeks of my cut at the moment and then one week rest before jumping to HRT. Im looking forward to be moving into HRT and Mass Gaining with such a low bodyfat percentage to lean muscle ratio.

[akira6713]

I was so excited I even ordered my supplements to make sure I am ready for January 2nd. Universal supplements all the way (well for the most part). Only thing they haven't sent is the Universal Creatine, on back-order I guess. Diet will also be 100%, I have my own refrigerator in the basement I use exclusively for my clean food in I buy and cook in bulk

[naturalguy]

Give it your all fellas, this is a great program and you will get a lot out of it if you give 100%

The offer is still on the table... Those who sucessfully complete the 12-week HRT program like the official contestant and follow the guidelines will each EARN an Animal HRT t-shirt...

[whiteoleander]

Starting weight: 127
Current weight: 131
3 day split this week... back , arms, legs
Protien:165

Hungry scale: I'm feeling good as long as I get a carb a few hours before a workout and eat big after a workout. I cut my carbs down just a bit to avoid feeling sluggish.

[whiteoleander]

I had to post this ... anyone doing HRT will understand ...
I took a few boys who wanted to get an idea of HRT to the gym last night
I TORE them up !! HRT had them whimpering ....

My friend says ..." It's like HELL... INSIDE your muscle" I almost died laughing but its true .. the burn from the negatives is deeeep and feels sooooo good, unlike any burn ever and it takes one set to get pumped ... HRT = LOVE

I'll probably check in on Monday from now on but thought I'd get caught up a little

Week of Dec1
Weighed in at 179
Diet is all over the place
BF% Estimated at 14%

Week of Dec 5-9
Weighed in at 182
Diet is more in line and I've added in a couple of Shakes a day.
Trying to match my carbs and protein up to about 300 but I'm probably around 175-200.
BF% same.

I'll be getting a pinch test done shortly so I can keep a good record of my improvements.

Sorry for the delay in updates, however I had some stuff happen here in Afghanistan that caused me to work some long hours. I still made time for the gym, but man am I worn out. I will do a basic overview...

Most of my breakfasts consist of the same thing

Scrambled eggs
Bowl of Oatmeal
Cantalope
Soy Milk
Cranbery Juice
Cup of Coffee
Animal Flex, Pak, and Omega

Protein Shake

Lunch is usually something like
Grilled Chicken Breast (well not grilled but for lack of a better word...I have no idea what they do to some of the food over here)
Broccoli
Fruit (Plum, Peach, Grapes)
and some brown rice

Dinner is about the same as lunch...except on Fridays we have steak and seafood, so I get the protein there when I can
I just don't trust seafood in a landlocked 3rd world country...it scares me...

Protein Shake
Animal PM

Pre-workout is Animal Rage, Post workout is Dark Matter....

This week I was able to go up 5 pounds on the DB Press and 10 pounds on the DB Curls...making me feel good about the gains. I am a lot less sore than I was the first 2 weeks, however, since the AC arthritis is starting to creep back in slowly, my shoulder exercises have suffered a little, thank god for steroid injections, next week should be back to normal.

I got a guy in the gym come over and ask me what I was doing (since I was grunting in pain doing the leg press...lol). I explained to him HRT and he wants me to walk him through a week of workouts so as he re-deploys he can do this when he gets home. I got him the PDF of the program and I start with him on arms day. I will keep you all updated on him until he re-deploys...this should be fun since he thinks it is cool the older civilian guy is keeping up with the young guys.

Picture of me right after chest day coming soon!

Also, I am working on something for all us deployed. It should be done soon...more to follow on that as well.

[Bond77]

Good luck to everyone running this routine! Keep up the hard work Animals, and stay focused.
