I thought weekends were your off days? The last time I asked the CF walk-in charge was ~50 RM. Ridiculous!

Well it depends on my mood. Sometimes I train a bodypart every 6 days, mostly 7. So if it was chest last Monday, I'd hit it on the coming Sunday.

50 bucks is bullshit. Wtf. Here's a nice vid for you since you're buzzed. Just bear with it and watch it! LOL.



I think you're gonna hate me for a while. Sheer randomness.

I'm doing a chest workout in FF@The Curve on Sunday morning, so feel free to come along and mock my pathetic workout then. (You probably don't want to stick around to watch my post workout meal of a family meal at Popeyes.)

Where the hell do you find these videos. Good God.


(this will probably all get deleted come tomorrow afternoon for veering too far into Kopitiam territory)

You're not pathetic. I bet you can push some good weights. Charlieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..................

We're on a bridge Charlie. LOL.

Sorry to hear that.

What exactly do you mean by "working abs"? Sorry if this is a typical newbie question.

I would like to do leg presses, but I've no access to a gym. I don't like in KL or PJ and there are no gyms near my place. I can't do squats again because of the stiffness in my legs. I can't squat at all in fact. The tendons and ligaments in my right knee and foot/ankle (sorry I'm not to apt with the terms) have shortened, so has the calve muscles. And it's taking really long to stretch them back.

As to my injury well if it's relevant, I broke my right tibia in two and so there's a metal rod there now and that contributes to the stiffness as well. So basically I can't bend my feet all the way and my knees all the way and they would just lock if I tried bending both together. Other than that I'm pretty normal. I was bedridden for like 6 months and I probably started walking in December last year. Now I've enough strength to walk but I can't run or jump. I totally screwed my hips and all the bones there, so I'm pretty stiff there too. When I do sit ups, I can't bring my chest to my knees anymore, maybe that's a problem?

I've read that eating is important too. Until like two weeks ago my protein comes mainly from eggs. I had like 2-3 eggs days because I couldn't open my mouth at all so I'd just swallow my food. I just had a surgery to open my mouth, so I can eat some chicken. beef and prawns. I'm not too sure how much I should stuff myself with. I don't and I can't drink milk. I also can't drink protein mixes because they all have some kind of milk derived protein in them too.

Also please don't get me wrong, I'm not telling some sob story, just telling you what I can and can't do.

I seriously advise you to seek opinions from an orthopaedic surgeon first since I'm just a normal general doctor. He would need to assess your movements in person. Try describing some exercises you'd like to do to him, then he'll tell you if it's safe or not.

After that we can help you a whole lot better. I guess leg presses would be fine but since you can't access a gym easily, how about just plain bodyweight squats? Or dumbbell lunges? But I'll tell you something. Never underestimate the power of nutrition in recovery. My sister almost died in a car accident 3 years ago. Her Kelisa overturned 3 times, she got flung out through the windshield (didn't wear a safety belt) and her head smashed against the road surface. There was a fracture from the center of her forehead all the way to the back of her skull. I made her incorporate whey protein into her recovery diet even though my parents were against it. And well.... you saw the vid. Look at her now. Awesome shape!

Out of curiosity, what kind of physiotherapy was assigned to you after your injury? It doesn't sound like your doctors gave you any, which is kind of random.

mumeichan, i wish u all the best in ur recovery.
sheer determination will bring forth results.
don't give up. push as hard as u think u can.

hmm... u cant run rite?
wat bout walking or jogging?
why dont u do some cardio as well

Aight.... that's a wrap. Time for bed. Eggs have settled in my stomach. Later.

Thanks for the advice. Yes I've talked to the orthopedic surgeon as well that the rehabilitation specialist. They say as far as the bones go, I'm fine. The stiffness is just due to the shortening of the ligaments, tendons and muscles, which will stretch if I work on it as well as tissue scarring. Basically they say do whatever I want to as long as it's not unbearably pain. One thing I do avoid though is getting a cramp. If it's too strenuous and I feel like I will get a cramp, I've to stop right away because there's a chance I will get fits right after a cramp.

They asked me to do various kinds of exercises in the bed, which is mainly just flexing my muscles to prevent further atrophy. But by the time I woke up from coma, I couldn't move my right leg already or sit up. I was discharged before I could walk, and so I hired my own physiotherapist. However, she only worked until I could stand then didn't want to work anymore. So basically it was pretty much my own effort and visits to the hospital's rehabilitation clinic when my parents had the time.


Thanks. I can't jog either. I do try to walk as much as possible. And walking is more like limping. It's hardly a workout, but I spend time playing Wii games, it's the closest I come to a cardio workout.

Get back to us on that.

On the other hand, Charlie is only really good when you're high on weed.

like i said proper nutrition = anything's possible


not many of the modern doctors believe in this
they'll stress on physio la, and meds
but the pure old skool stuff like my dad would always say diet = almost everything cuz its nature's way...
go physio, makan buat but still eat roti canai and nasi lemak wont do any good
hahaha

ur a gp ke
katne
