Muscle Gym in Damansara Uptowh is rawk!

owh.. good for you

Back from the dead, or rather from work and dancing. Anyway, here's an update on how I have been doing. I regularly worked out my muscles to increase size on my physique. However, due to advices from my dancing friends, bulking up TOO big is not good for dancing as it restricts the movement. So, I worked on heavy weights sparingly and focused more on light weights + high reps to increase muscle endurance.

This is me. (Taken earlier)

how many kg difference between the pics?

3KG. I'm currently hovering in between 64-66kg. =)

how tall r u?

About 170cm. +-2cm. Can't be very sure.

that is just bullshit. muscle bulk does not affect your flexibility directly.

lol, dwayne johnson can dance quite well in "The Game Plan" thou haha

not really in the case here :

Hmm.. I do admit those guys are pretty flexible. Anyway, I will continue bulking and then I will do loads of stretching in order to maintain the flexibility I have. Cause from my own experience, my body feels tighter than it used to be. =)

google.com

IIRC,

1g of protein = 4kcal
1g of carbs = 4kcal
1g of fat = 9kcal

Sorry man, the muscle mass and flexibility thing, so not true. Lets be real for a moment, it's not likely you're gonna be as huge as Kai Greene. So, we'll look at gymnasts. Look up Yuri Van Gelder, Hiroyuki Tomita or Chen Yibing. All big in their own right, and I'm sure they're preeeetty flexible.

Well.. Then I stand corrected =)

No la boss. The dancer has a point. If he's purely into dancing and not anything else intensive that may well be the perfect weight for him.

well, if u watch So You Think You Can Dance show, most of the guys are quite well built, not as beefy as bb'er but not thin either.

Channing Tatum is also pretty well built, but look at how he dances in Step Up.

Yeah.. Jason and Kelvin posted some good examples there. I referred to my friends last night about what they meant, apparently, building muscles does decrease your flexibility around the shoulder a bit. It's not very obvious in dances like hip hop but its noticeable in breakdance where the shoulders flexibility is vital.

However, the problem can be avoided with loads of stretching and even yoga. I guess that is the reason well built people can still dance well.

edit: spelling mistake
