yeah realised that when was doing it.
i think i wanna go get my own barbell then.
Then I can actually do almost everything in my own room.
Any recommendations? Was looking at the tesco/giant/carrefour barbells. Good enough?

- darn except for the bench presses and inverse rows...arrgghhh

just go to gym la, buying a weight plate can cost you a bomb.

unless you willing to spend on 2-3k to set up a home gym. it is economic in long term

Squat rack
Olympic barbell+weight plate
bench

yeah no choice i guess, gotta fight for the use of the barbell.
Body still aching all over lol. I think i might have pushed it a little when i went for crazy cardio yesterday lol.

spend 2-3k is about the price of the normal commercial gym contract for 2 -3 yrs, but u miss out the fun of looking at sweaty chix lol.

U guys should look at my home gym.

It's 2 squat stands, an Olympic barbell (Eleiko though) and some old plates, amounting to 180KG and 2 rubber mats so I can drop my weights on.

What power rack? I've a squat stand!

picture la... =.=
wakakka... lalala... when competition?

jamis got me convinced...sweaty chicks it is...

Finished d. 220kg total.
I swear the barbells in Sabah are 5 kilos heavier than the weight it states.

yes i understand and i did read. The problem is everytime when i tried to do it, i forgot already. So my plan is not focus in 1, once manage the skill only do the rest. Instead of everything also cin cin cai cai finish it. since i was already in gym and yet did not know how to use others, might as well do biceps lor so that can fully utilise my gymming time mah

This is exactly why you're not going to progress. You don't have your priorities or goals set straight. And from what I see, you don't even have the determination to train since you can't even remember what to do in the gym. Seriously, if your memory is that bad, write the workout down in a notebook and bring it to the gym.

I actually wrote the workout lol.
Cuz read it just before going to the gym.
Only one thing...can't really run after doing squats...legs feel like jelly...darn...

your memory is it that bad?
ditch the biceps curls. wait till you are able to squat your body weight then only go do your curl.
post your biceps pic, see yours is bigger or mine is bigger, i do less than 10time bicep curls since august 08 till now

wait untill you squat your BW, you ain't ask those stupid anymore!

btw guys, about memory thingy... i used to 4get the sets i am doing, especially when doing squat o deadlift =.=|||

i mean lose track on the number sets that i am doing...

how u guys keep track on the number of sets? wrote down?

Errr... carry a piece of pen & paper with you to the gym lah.
I've yet to see anyone with their notes in any gym I've been to. Some people rely on their PT to remember for them, some ask the gym owner what he/she suggests, some just randomly do whatever they fancy, some simply walks around and look around, some do whatever the other people are doing, etc...
I've seen a dude doing whatever exercises I was doing... except

Do you have the COURAGE and GUTS to bring a pen and paper to the gym?! DO YOU?!
Hah hah hah!

Oh, keep the bicep curls at the end of the programme. No harm doing it. Just that it's a useless exercise if done alone.

Bagata,
use those small plates that no one uses. And move it around.

I just heard another ridiculous Chinese breakfast advice:
Don't eat eggs and milk together. It's bad for the guts, and it can cause digestive problems in the long run (or some similar crap).

I seriously doubt this.

Oh, just googled and found: Milk protein (casein and whey) decreases iron absorption. But Vit C increases iron absoprtion (a very large increase).
