Well, here it is. My initial post of my official Journey. If you're reading this, thanks for showing at least a slight interest in what I'm planning to attempt.

Starting this Monday, October 11th, I am going to be starting a 6 week bulk/solo HRT streak. If the gains are as great as I am anticipating, I may break for 1 - 2 weeks and start it up again. If the gains don't meet my expectations, I'm kicking it into overdrive.

I'm not here to impress, or to meet anyone's standards but my own - I'm doing this for me.
(Please do feel free to comment and critique as you see fit, I do appreciate and respect feedback.)

From here on out, it's not going to be "balls to the walls" training - they're going THROUGH that wall to the other side.

This is my transition from a normal guy to a true animal, and I've got an impetus that is not going to cease, ever.


So, without further prolonging, here it goes...

Quick note - tonight I ran a 4:06/mile after my workout. I dropped down from my 10:00/mile of about 6 weeks ago. Cardio sucks, indeed.

Welcome my man. Looking good on those miles, thats crazy. Hows the diet looking?

My sketch of a diet looks like this at the moment (starting Monday):


6:30 AM – 4 eggs, (1 Cup oats OR “Pro & Oats” Shake)
Animal Pak, M-Stak, 3 Uni-Livers
9:00 AM – 3.5 Scoops Real Gains, 5g Creatine & 5g Glutamine Shake
3 Uni-Livers

12:00 PM – 8oz Chicken Breast/Steak/Fish, 1 cup rice
3 Uni-Livers

2:00/3:00 PM - 3.5 Scoops Real Gains, 5g Creatine & 5g Glutamine Shake
3 Uni-Livers

5:00 PM – 8oz Chicken Breast/Steak/Fish, 1 cup rice
3 Uni-Livers

Pre-Workout: Stak

Post-Workout: 1 Serving Torrent

9:00 PM – 8oz Chicken or Tilapia

11:00 PM – Casein Shake
3 Uni-Livers
Animal PM


This is my first attempt at a structured bulking diet, so any criticism is much appreciated.

Looks good man. I personally like to have more whole food and less shakes, but you gotta find what works for you. Stick with whatever you choose and go from there my man!

Yeah I feel you on that, I would much rather have some more whole foods, but with being a full-time college student and working 40-50 hours a week it's tough to carry around enough food to last the whole day, and it's definitely easy to have a tub of Real Gains and a gallon of water in the car!

I was so mentally unprepared for this, next time is going to be so insane.

HRT Solo: I felt like I lifted so much total weight, but I know I lifted a total weight probably less than my usual work out.


Breakdown: Arms (Bi's) & Chest
Set - Positive x Negative (5 count)
Hammer Curls: 2 - 8x6
Barbell Curls: 2 - 8x6
Dumbbell Curls: 2 - 8x6
Dumbbell Bench Press: 2 - 8x6
Flat Flyes: 2 - 8x6
Bench Press: 2 - 8x6


After my first set, my pump was so intense, I couldn't even believe it. I'm definitely down for HRT for awhile...
