My name is Eric. I am 22 and a student studying at Capital University. My entire life I was always the tiny kid or the scrawny kid and used to get made fun of a lot for it. I'm not going to lie when I say that it would really get me down. I went out for sports like football and wrestling when I was younger but was always cut due to the fact that I was so small. I got into fitness my senior year of high school when I struck a deal with my PE teacher to complete 90 hours of gym time outside of school. I quickly found out that working out was my new favorite stress reliever. I went off to college in NYC for a semester to study voice at the Manhattan School of Music. In December of that year, my big brother was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia so I transferred back to Ohio to be with my family and then later be the bone marrow donor for my brother. I was in and out of the gym but really did not get into a solid routine until about 6 months ago and from then on I haven't stopped. In that time I have gained 18 pounds of muscle and I am not stopping there! Now a days I get made fun of for working out and gaining muscle, quite different from back in grade school. Now the more people make jokes about how much bigger I'm getting, the more it motivates me to work harder and keep gaining.
I am all that is Animal. I am very motivated now to prove to myself and everyone that I can do whatever I put my mind to. There is no stopping me! If I am selected I will show everyone what it means to be an Animal. I want to be able to motivate everyone I meet to achieve the body that have always dreamed of. My main goal is to keep my brother motivated through his recovery and to one day get him in the gym and be able to be a powerful factor into getting him back into the shape he was in before the leukemia.

**ignore my first post was a very rough draft lol**
21 year old male i guarantee you my perseverance is unmatched by anyone..
been training on/off since i was 15 but have had some major road blocks in my way. had to have a corneal transplant in my left eye(keratoconus ftw!) at age 17 and was unable to do anything really physical for about 13months, but still continued to eat like i did when i was active. gained 60+pounds of pure fat.late 18 i had to have another surgery for my sinus(s) which kept me out of the gym for another 6months and i gained a few more pounds along they way. missed a ton of school throught this whole endeavor about 1 1/2 years..but worked all day and night to catch back up with private tutors and ended up graduating earlier and with better grades then i ever could have.. after wasting 6months of being back in the gym when i was 20 1/2 i had to change my diet up and try and get rid of some of this fat.. started out at 244.4 and am currently at 190.3 in 22 weeks. i am about at the end of my cut and ready to start putting on some quality mass, i would be an ideal Guinea pig for this as i would be starting fresh...a blank slate so to speak and i know i would make great gains on this program.
i am currently in the process of joining the LAPD(they actually have a minimum BF%) after i finish jumping through all the hoops. so being at my best psychically is not just something i want to be for my self its something i have to be, my life and the lives of others will depend on me being able to push through anything standing in my way..
i would love a chance to do this, to be sponsored by animal for 5 mins is a dream..but 12 weeks would be just plain...bad ass
my life already revolves around the gym i dont go out and party or drink at all i dont want to eat/drink anything that could make me miss a rep.
forcing my self to push out that last rep is what makes me an animal, every video ive watched of you guys i get that image in my head when im struggling on #9. telling my self... they didnt bitch out...#10 bodys not just telling me no but F*$% no...my mind screaming 1 more....bam done
weight racked and i get a sense of satisfaction. but just a small one knowing i should be moving more...next time around i need to move more....i will move more
not trying to sound cocky but,ive been to hell and back...another trip?where i am in complete control of all the pain and will come out of it wanting more?.........can i get a front row seat and some peanuts....er protein shake please..
if i get a shot at this you guys wont be sorry....full 100% dedication i will enjoy every blood mixed tear i get.Last edited by freaknastyp; 03-12-2012 at 10:18 PM.

Competing in 12 Weeks in Hell is brutal. Props to everyone who's willing to step up to the plate. It's a big committment bros, so be ready to do some solid and consistent workout and diet logs (assuming the requirements for this one are the same as the last contest). But do it right, and you'll prob need a new wardrobe when its done (my experience).

Ha, and what I don't think they understand is that means:
30-90 minutes of cardio a day
50-150 carbs a day
Fats = how low can you go.
Depending on your situation of course. Go ask Steve or either of the showtime girls how fun it was
I'm ready for it. I doubt I'll make it in, yet again this time, due to marketing value but that's ok. I'll keep churning along like I have been. I've made a ton of progress since HRT debuted here on the forums.
