The Lonely Road to Hell Part 2: HRT Solo Contest

**FunsizeDHS** · 03-09-2012, 02:45 PM

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.

**mrdead** · 03-11-2012, 02:15 PM

I guess it couldn't hurt to say...

That...

Just maybe...

The number of winners...

May be determined...

By the amount of entries...

(Maybe more entries might equal more winners... Just something to think about...)

**freaknastyp** · 03-11-2012, 02:25 PM

**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.

**rbowman91** · 03-12-2012, 09:53 AM

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).

[Will be well past 30 days on April 2nd since my promo win as well =)]

Decided to randomly check out the Forvm today and saw a post leading me back here, what a lucky day.

Going on 7 years training on off learned a lot. Use to only do chest/ bi's neglected back and legs the usual newbie stuff. Now I'm into balance,form over weight, and compound exercises. I've been everything from 145 12% to 180 18%, to 205 28% with a 38" waist at that point i got disgusted. I'd get out of the shower and have water/condensation I don't know wtf it was stuck under my "fat rolls" sickening. Got a hold of my diet, supplements I have the basics. I need a new routine, one that does what it should, one that may make me feel sick at the end. The endorphin rush walking out of the gym is worth it every time, what I look like in the mirror slowly getting better is worth it everyday.

Spent past three months getting things back on track and I'm back down to 186 20-21% 36"and been feeling great ever since. Ideally would like to get to 15-18% and stay at the same weight in the three months in Hell.

To me being an Animal is about having the desire and drive. The desire to better ones self through dedication, passion and persistence.
-Was interested in this since it first debuted so ya...I'm excited for Hell...I'm In...

I followed the last contest every single step of the way and kicked myself everyday for not entering myself.

I'm 24 years old, 5'6" tall roughly 165lbs my scale says that I'm around 15% body fat but i have a hard time believing that's accurate.

In 2007 i joined the military and decided i wanted to get into bodybuilding. Since then I've been working my ass of in the gym everyday for the last 5 years and never saw progress like I have over the last couple months doing the HRT program. To give you a little more background on me this past fall I was jumped at a college party and unfortunately had my jaw broken. I spent the next 6 weeks with my mouth wired shut unable to lift or eat even remotely healthy, everything had to be blended which was disgusting so i hardly ever ate (lost a little over 30 lbs and got skinny fat). It wasn't til mid December that i was actually able to get back in the gym and lift seriously like i had in the past. Since then I've put all the weight back on that i lost and have almost gotten my strength back to where it was before....that's my little sob story but I'm not looking for sympathy just wanting to show you that i don't **** around when it comes to working out I'm as dedicated as they come, it takes some pretty serious **** to keep me out of the gym on a lifting day. I would love to be selected for this competition, but if i don't i look forward to following along daily like i did the last time.
I no longer attend college parties nor do i drink at all for that matter. I've made some pretty serious changes and I think I'm on track to be in the best shape I've ever been in. I have nothing but respect for the Universal team as well as the competitors that participated in the last go round so i really hope i get selected so I'm able to pick your brains for advice.

I have been working out since high school football so over 10 years. After football was over and I started college I needed a good stress reliever and I still worked out. Me being goal orientated and competetive I powerlifted for a couple years then decided to enlist active duty in the air force. I did my 4 years and did one tour of iraq where I continued to lift and was slowly gravitating towards bodybuilding but at that time I was more into powerbodybuilding to have the size AND strength. Once I was out of the military 3 weeks later I started dieting for 20 weeks to do my first bodybuilding show which was also a national qualifier. I started out at 275 lbs way to bulked up and ended up around 215 lbs so a 60 lb loss in 20 weeks. I was no where near as shredded as I shouldve been but still got down to single digit bodyfat. I sacrificed a lot and relationships were put on hold but I wouldn't have changed a thing and loved every minute of it. I. Absolutely love to train and work my ass of at the gym! I plan on competing again in the late summer and fall and would like to do this program to put on some more muscle before I start the process of dieting for a contest for the 3rd time! Always representing animal and I always take the pak everyday! Thanks for everything universal and iregardless if you pick me you will always have a customer for life!

so glad i checked my ******** and found this hah

pick me animals!! wont let you down i will accept your challenge and love every minute of pain and every bead of sweat mix with tears that i get!

I also applied and am waiting on a guaranteed interview as a corrections officer so i would do that and fire. I have always lifted but every 3 or 4 months burnout because of excuses but i dont want that anymore i never did. I have been lifting for about 6 years, im 5'9, bench press is 275max. I love lifting, i breath in exercise. I would do anything needed to be done to be the best. I would like to be bigger for corrections because with size and muscle i can better protect myself, gain respect, and protect the other officers. From there i would like to do fire/policing. I love food and my family. I like interval sprints, fire training, and playstation. But most of all i love eating. I hope you guys pick me, i'll grow like a mass monster.

Looking to get some lean mass added to my frame. I've been doing HRT since Nov. but failed to enter the first contest.

From working out in my make shift gym in my garage to working out late nights just to get in lift on, I'm bodybuilder, I don't make excuses, I make it work no matter what! I'm here to work! I'm ALL IN!

I'm impressed...but we'll see who lasts...there are many who start and so few that finish.
