If I'm not mistaken, Reagan Kang won Mr Malaysia junior category in 2009...or 2008 I'm not sure...but he won something.

http://malaysiamuscle.blogspot.com/2009/07...above-70kg.html

1st- Reagan Kang – Pulau Pinang
2nd – Ahmad Tajudin Abu Bakar – Melaka
3rd – Syed Iqbal Syed Yusof – KL
4th – Adrian Hor – Pulau Pinang
5th – Md. Jasri Mat Yusof – ATM
6th – Nik Izani Fazly Nik Ahmad – Perak

Personally I feel registry is better than that 2nd place guy.

How do they categorise the contestants into different categories?

So what are the weight classes? Age limit for junior category?

3 months not possible...unless you're juiced. But you'll notice within 3 months you are stronger if you train and eat properly, just don't expect to see bulging muscles in 3 months.

The main idea of doing compound exercises with low reps and high weights for beginners is to gain strength first before going for mass building. So those programs are suitable for beginners.

High rep and low weights are for fat burning/better muscle definition after a mass building phase.

Well, they teach you that because they want you to practice the form, after that it's serious training. If not steady doing a squat only with the bar, how to increase the weight leh? So the low weight is for you to practice the form only. Once you get use to it, then it's time to start loading it.

No one here cares about BMI btw...my BMI is in the overweight range and it doesn't seem to bother me. BMI is not an absolute indicator of health because it's not accurate.

flat/incline DB bench press.

Then it means your form is wrong...must be too heavy. Otherwise you are just paying too much attention to small details LOL.

Do DB flyes also.

Stupidest thing I've seen in the gym today: A skinny guy doing a lot of sets of deadlifts for 1 hour continuously, and even wrote down how much weight he lifted into a small notebook!

Me and darklight halfway on back training and noticed a skinny guy doing deadlifts, I was like, good at least there's someone knows something about training, so I considered him not a noob...but then after 1 hour we finished our back training and that guy is still doing deadlifts. Really WTF, still noob.

not sure, from a distance I think it's 60lbs?

Well, his deadlift form was perfect and he could lift the weight up without any difficulty, even if he was practicing the form I don't understand why he was doing it for 1 hour and he jots down notes after each set of deadlifts...

No one cares how heavy you're lifting, it's how you train.

Moral of the story is, compound exercises are good, but doing just one compound exercise is not good.

There's another guy who did what looked like flat DB flyes, he hold a pair of DB, fully extend his elbows and go from above his chest and all the way down, and with his elbows still extended and his arms go far behind his body, then go back up again. Me and darklight were like wow he's training for gymnastics or he wants to pop his shoulders out to claim insurance?

As if like stepping into the gym without proper training will turn you into a hulk.
