auger part 5 the shopping experience

So today is ground zero, the day before the storm, the day when all hell is going to break loose. So we had to prepare the auger on his journey. The best way to do that was go for a nice grocery run. Knowing all the local hot spots for foods i took the auger on a shopping adventure. We started by hopping into the big truck. We took a nice trip on down to the mckinons meat market. where we found perdue chicken on sale at 1.99 a pound. fully cleaned chicken breasts for 1.99 ..wow thats a deal . we also found a 4 pound slab steak . they call the flinstone steak, its 4 pounds of sirloin cut into one huge long piece straight off the cow. it was only 17.99 .. total 27.27 spent on meat for the week. next we took a little stop into stop and shop. pardon the pun!



So when your a not so familiar with shopping you need an expert like my self. The auger was walking around the store aimlessly looking for things in which he did not know what to do with.


he was constantly mumbling about some wheat bread and some other types of foods , that i definitely did not put on the list.
i decided to just do all the shopping for him grabbing things and placing them into the cart. i would notice the auger would keep organizing things as i placed them in the cart.

now yesterday the auger had come into the gym scared that he would be spending over 150.00 dollars a week on food, in which he could not afford. he was pacing back and forth saying he could not do the diet, this was all going to be a waste. and then i pretty much told him to shut the hell up, what the hell was he so worried about . it was going to be under 100 bucks a week on food.

when we went down the list his total grocery purchase was 86.50 thats inlcuding the 27.27 it was 59.29 at stop and shop. so we round that to about 86.50 and he will have some extra food left over. this is an ample amount of food at a very low cost.

the auger was very excited after his shopping experience that when we left the store he forgot you need to watch where to push the cart... i guess the cart lost control and started rolling down hill.


he then had to chase after and catch it!!! which he did luckily ..

all and all it was a great shopping experience , and the auger is now ready for day one !!!! tomorrow .. will be the start of the new auger under my teachings, diet, and training. then we can all see how well the auger can do!!!

tune in tomorrow for your next dose of the auger and share this with your friends .!!!

auger part 4 the diet plan

i just wanted to give some background info on me and the augers relationship. So first of all i have known the auger since about 1994 back at the raquettime in danvers mass. this is where golds gym is now and i believe its no longer a golds. raquet time was a family owned gym. it was the first gym i ever joined. what it had was a lot of good weightlifting equipment, both free weight and nautilas stuff. it mostly had a great group of guys. best of all i could ride my bike to the gym, that was the most important thing. it was about a 10 min ride. so there was my cardio i would ride in and work out. i used to get a ride on leg nights. every other day i would ride my bike. some of the great characters from the gym have actually died early deaths, but people that i will never forget. some like the infamous jimmy parker. and one of my good friends wayne grenier, big lew peppe , big mike licoli, the crazy dr guy, eric hussey, chris paulino, and many more. but big richie auger kind of kept to him self he was always upbeat, and very excited , you would see him doing air guitar. then we both ended up at a gym called nautilas plus. this was the gym of all gyms. i have been to thousands of gyms all over the world and very few can even compare to come close. just to get an idea it would take you 1 full minute to walk from the mens locker room all the way to the cable crossover machine. it wasn't that the gym was huge, but the gym was amazing. full of characters, full of pro bodybuilders, top powerlifters, athletes, pro wrestlers, and it had the equipment that would allow you to train till you bleed, puke, or pass out. i took full advantage of that. so did the auger i remember one day i was probably hipped up on some energy drink when i walked into the gym i saw the auger standing doing leg press. i started screaming "you got mail" and walked over to him and asked him what time it was? he said there is a clock over there man. he pointed to the wall and i said no man its auger time. auger looked at me puzzled. i screamed its auger time over and over again during each of my sets. i actually screamed it so much that the auger actually got pissed off, he asked me if i wanted to go out side and fist fight . i actually started to laugh for a second because i thought he was joking , then i saw he wasn't joking . in no way did i want to hurt the augers feelings so i just said hey man i am only kidding around. the auger just walked away, pissed off. it was an awkward but good experience looking back we just laugh at the whole situation.

the point is you never know what's going to happen in life . look at this .. now i am helping the auger to complete something never imagined.

so tomorrow we will be going to the grocery store to buy the foods .. we will see how much he spent, and what foods he bought , look forward to tomorrow and stay tuned for day 1 which is sunday please follow this blog and share with your friends ..thanks for reading!

the auger experiment part 3

ok so here we are, the first day of the auger experiment has begun we have taken the before pictures. it will now be a journey to see if in fact you can get the same results from taking supplements with proper diet and training as you could with steroids. so lets take a look at the typical steroid cycle. for first time juicers the average weight gain is 30 pounds. and after that usually a gain of 10 -12 pounds depending on the cycle. this is average gains once again some people experience more and some experience less. now as we look at strength gains the auger will be performing a few max lifts this week to show a starting point we will be listing those tomorrow. up till now his diet has been mainly foods he has chosen on his own. lets ask the auger him self and see what foods he has been eating on a regular basis.

chicken , oatmeal, special k cereal, bannanas, 3-4 protein shakes a day, apples, steak in moderation, penut butter by jiffy (horrible choice by the way) pears and apple sauce, eggs in moderation, pasta. cheat foods such as waffles , italian sausage.

his max deadlift of all time is 460 x 5 reps. squat 405 x 2 these were not below parallel. 185 straight bar curl.

so now we have also established an all time strength training.
