AZMIDLYF said:3 lbs is a great start R3!!
R3ACTION said:Thanks AZ that's officially 35 pounds down since April. With nothing but strength gains![]()
Airborne42 said:3 lbs??? Kick ass :-D
R3ACTION said:Not bad for a week eh!
R3ACTION said:Tore chest up today...
Starting to see some added definition in my arms while doing triceps as well. I'm finally getting to a weight that my strength gains are becoming more evident through definition. I'm still about 35 pounds from my goal. Once I get there I will run my first cycle. Fat Smack is definitely playing it's part in helping me get to where I want to be. Now if I can get this shoulder working right I can get back to AB's scheme and get my chest where I want it. Until then I think I'm going to stay at my current flat bench weights and perfect form and add reps.
Airborne42 said:Your doin great brother... No injuries plz lol baby that shoulder till your ready! Did you see DanB on my bench scheme?
AZMIDLYF said:R3, you do any rotator cuff exercises?
Airborne42 said:Go very light first set like 135!
I'm STOKED haha
AZMIDLYF said:Well then there's your sign! Do the exercises big man. :hitwithrock:
Danb2285 said:Def go light on the first set. I was going 175 for 15 and 255 for 8 but I figured out If I dropped the first set to 155 and the second to 245 it was about perfect to get a good one rep set In and not feel so fatigued. My numbers are in my log feel free to check em out man. It took me a couple weeks to figure out how to work up to that 1 rep set and still be able to hit 5 after.
Danb2285 said:Oh and a couple weeks ago I had the same shoulder thing. Could press just fine but couldn't lift a DB or pull a cable at all. I just laid off the pulls and lat raises for 2 weeks and it went away.

Airborne42 said:It's a wierd rep set up for sure... I just make up my own ****.... Chest and tris just seem to work
R3ACTION said:Yeah man you've done well with it! I've got to get a belt I was pissed when I decided I was ready to do weighted dips and the only belt my gym has is a small. WTF are you serious a small. When my big ass walks up and tries to put on a small belt it's embarrassing! I am sure it will end up on youtube someday.
R3ACTION said:I've got a tear in my seratis anterior. It runs across the ribs and under the traps. It allows the scapula to pull out and look like a wing. When I flex I look deformed haha ask LTL. They suggest seeing a surgeon...
AZMIDLYF said:Sounds like you have a good routine going and results are coming. Now try and keep the consistency there and it's money!
R3ACTION said:Todays weigh in:
280.5
Fat Smacking my way closer to my goals!
Danb2285 said:Good luck man. I don't get to go out until next weekend. Super jealous
R3ACTION said:Well with the injury to my hand I had to take some time off of lifting. I have still been doing cardio. I'm feeling much better now and I am feeling that I will be back in the weight room after this weekend. I am leaving for a hunting trip in the morning. Looking forward to fat smack in my tree stand! Thinking it will help me stay on stand all day! Sadly Sunday will be my last day on fat smack. I will be posting a final weigh in and review when I get back.
AZMIDLYF said:Happy hunting big guy!!
