***Rage Walking The Talk***

[ragingmuscle]

Are you still doing cardio every morning?

Yes sir, 30 minutes morning fasted.

Thanks for touching on the stretching Tom. I think that is the area where I need most work at the moment.

Your welcome brother.

Serratus is definitely getting cut up Tom - Nicely done! Also going to try that triceps stretch after my arm workout and see how that feels the next day. Thanks!

Such a simple thing to do after hitting a body part but also so easy to forget how effective it can be.

Those stretches are perfect, they relax me and prepare me for the next session. Thanks Tom.

Right on my brother.

Looking good in here boss man!!

Thank you young lady!

That was a serious night of Training Tom. My delts were sore for about 3 days and I got a huge eye opener on how to properly train in HRT.

Thanks for taking the time to work with me again and kick my butt around the gym.

I'll be in touch Brother.

My torture..I mean pleasure

[ragingmuscle]

Training is going good. Very busy here at Universal Nutrition West handling normal operations and prepping for the HRT follow up production going down next week. Lots of irons in the fire. At 8 weeks through this, I'm going to post another weeks worth of vids to show what the routine is looking like. Weight is down to 238.2 lbs today.

Doing great brother. Glad to have you in my corner.

Man Ive gotten more out of this thread and this program than anything else Ive seen or read... Started the HRT training last week and all I can say is WOW!!!! and Thank You!!!! I have a quick question regarding hydration...

I drink a lot of water throughout the day. Id say 98% water. Every once in awhile though I will throw in a squirt of MIO to add some flavor. what are your thoughts on that? good or bad?

Again... Thanks so much for your dedication and taking the time to walk so many people through the program! Very Inspirational!!!!!

[thedonfather]

Is there a direct link that I can go to? A couple of the videos don't show up on my iPhone or iPad.

[shortstack74]

Nice work Rage!! Keep it up and I can't wait to see the next set of videos.

Matt and I are busting out the Iron Contest Bulk training right now for a break but we'll be back to HRT, and the correct way this time, soon.

Your welcome brother. I had a guy in Bodybuilding.com's Customer Service ask me how the hec I came up with this while I was pushing him through my leg routine. I told him mostly just sick in the ****ing head lol. Cool on the MIO.

Mr Dead is probably a good one to ask on that my brother. I'm a bit tech challenged

Speaking of which, the next set of vids starts today! You've got this **** down brother.

[ragingmuscle]

Wow! Time is flying by with this one. Weighed in today at 235 lbs even. Trying to see if I can get in for a hydro today, but have def leaned out. Diet on point despite all the ****ing travel. I'll have progress pics and some training vids up today as I'm at about the halfway point and have changed a few things up with the routine to keep it fresh.

[mrdead]

Less talk... More work...

[rockwood51]

Nice Tom. I'm curious to see how you've altered the lifts.

[kcburrows]

Your transformation is looking awesome boss...Thank you for the opportunity and its awesome knowing your behind us sharing your wisdom helping us achieve our goal

[ragingmuscle]

[rockwood51]

Nice. Those one arm lateral and front raises look brutal.

[J_Dieter]

You're leaning out quick boss. Thanks for shaking up your routine also, gives me some ideas for when I change up the movements.

[BB2K]

5'10", 235 lbs? damn, i hope i see that myself one day. lol But lean of course. Youre kicking some serious ass buddy, keep it up!

[rbowman91]

good call on "Wake Up". the first RATM album is easily one of the best workout albums ever. still trying to find something that blasts me the way HRT did. might have to just go back on it solo.

[ragingmuscle]

Annotations section of my youtube is apparently ****ed up today, but you can see how the routine is changed up.

[kcburrows]

Thats some serious motivation for the workout tonight! Are you gonna do a show this year boss?

bossman,do you know how many middle fingers i edited outta the check in vids??? Lol

[seanfox]

Rage, what food and or supplements do you take immediately after you workout.

I'm afraid not my brother. Having too much knee trouble and seeing as though I'm hitting 45 this year, I want to avoid surgery if at all possible. Did my time on stage and went out with a first place trophy at the last show so I'm happy with everything as a whole.

lol

that even looks like me

kick ass spotter...he is on the ball

DaEclipse is a master of Hellcentrics...****ers always inflicting pain on me. I think I'll drop a dumbbell on his foot today...god damn bastard.

bossman,do you know how many middle fingers i edited outta the check in vids??? Lol

lol..see..should have left them in

Rage, what food and or supplements do you take immediately after you workout.

Right now I take some Atomic 7 Black Cherry Bomb with some BetaAlanine about 15 minutes after then a meal an hour after that. Usually chicken and steel cut oats.

I have had 4 knee surgeries on my right knee. i am now 30% disabled in that leg. I spent 18 months mostly in bed hooked up to a machine that bent and straightened my knee. I KNOW what ya mean by wanting to avoid surgery. Sadly i had no choice and they have informed me that by the time im 50 ill need replacement. But in the mean time i'll shut the fk up and train.

Translation: "I have mangina issues.." *LOL*

[ragingmuscle]

Well here we are on this here day 65. Waiting for some PT appointments to start working on getting this knee to cooperate a bit more. In the meantime, I have decided to hold here at about 8% until I can determine just how much leg work I can actually perform to keep at least some size in these little twigs. At my age, which I realize is not elderly by any means, but still, I want to avoid surgery if at all possible. To me, It's just not worth it to keep bangin out heavy training. I'd just assume drop down the weight and deal. I'm still going to run HRT for the next 7 weeks on all the other body parts except legs and then switch it up a bit.

So the plan is to maintain and hell, maybe add a little size in a couple areas while I work out the kinks in the knee.

[shortstack74]

Stay healthy brother and do what you have to do.

You arre making some awesome progress.

So do you not take the typical whey protein and quick acting carb immediately after? Would just taking animal nitro before and after the workout, then eating some whole food shortly after work?

[rbowman91]

I hear you on the knee thing bro, had to see a doc myself and I only have 2+ years training. Can't imagine what it would be down the road if I kept slammin it.

I'm officially hopping back on HRT. I've tried multiple programs since the contest ended, and nothing has blasted me the way HRT did. Steve and I have totally opposite schedules right now, so I'm hoping my body responds as well to solo 8+6 as it did to the partner program. I'm going to put on another 15 I decided. But keeping it lean.

You think I'm good to swap hack squats for my full squats on legs day? I don't know how you feel about barbell squats for HRT, but I'd like to keep them in, even if it means dropping poundage to connect with the muscle. I'm thinkin Leg Extensions, Squats, then Leg press (for quads on wheels day). I'm talkin ass-to-the-floor squats, no partial s**t. I squat best as my second exercise for some reason. Never first. Tho I know many others do it differently. Think Barbell Squats 8+6 is okay?
