Ahem ahem, someone here hutang progress pics on this thred..
Tangan makin besar wor

hahaha, tau takpe..but yeah, your shoulders definitely look more defined now, and YES, cardio isn't EVERYTHING, there are many ways to shed the fat and your way is definitely one of em..

HAHAHA, pedro, was about to say the same thing mate

Wow at 20kg in 2 months.
Wonder what could have caused the sudden metabolism spike, like, SUDDEN SPIKE..
Crazy

Different people have different biological clocks, no? Try it out for yourself, if you feel too tired and can't sleep properly, don't do it. If no problem, then no harm continuing right?

Read this thread from page 1.

Amen bruddah

I don't see how saving RM 3-4 a day would hurt. Normal bodybuilding/shophouse gyms are not that expensive when it comes to monthly memberships. Heck I started when I was in college, but I disciplined myself to save up!! Its all what u want in the long run. You wanna see FAST results, then sacrifice a bit bro. Remember, more muscle + proper rest + healthy diet = good FAT loss!

Depends on 2 things. Firstly, HOW did u loose the weight. Secondly, you will loose weight fast in the first month or so of training, assuming you're doing it the correct way. You'll be loosing less and less per month as time goes by, but don't let that stop you.

Ok, you seem to hear a lot of things from a lot of your friends. My suggestion, GOOGLE some stuff up, do some basic research and go through this thread at least. Hula hooping doesn't necessarily burn fat from your love handles!! Spot training doesn't work for burning fat. For example, just because you do 10000000000 sit ups a day, it doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna have 6 pack abs in a month. Yes, your muscles in that are will be stimulated, but the fat being burned doesn't necessarily have to be from the waist. The human body doesn't work that way.
I'm no pro, not a fitness instructor and don't have a degree in sports science. But what I do have is experience in loosing fat, and trust me, it was hard at first, but once I made it a daily routine, its bloody easy yo!! haha

Yup. Vary your cardio exercises if you're the type of person who gets bored easily and can't stay with the same routine over a shot period of time. Skipping, swimming, jogging, sprinting, rowing, boxing/kickboxing a sandbag just to list a few. Don't forget to include squats, deadlifts and a little bit of resistance training in your workouts.

Been a while static, how've you been mate?

True that mate, at least a couple of weeks of slacking due to workload won't make much of a difference to our current physiques. Haha, damn, so u saw the progress pics eh?
Heading to Kuala Terengganu next month for 5 full weeks of heavy crosswind flying, now that's gonna be fun flying manual planes against the weather. Luckily I've been working on those reverse barbells and hammer curls, and squats/lunges
Gonna have a blast working those rudder pedals and control stick
Anyway, any good MRP suggestions man?
Oh, and good luck with the competition!

Zero carb intake is A HUGE NO NO!! Your body still requires carbs to function. Cutting down on carbs is alright, but totally subtracting it from your diet is one of the dumbest things you can do. Cheers

Ah ok, its just that its so hard nowadays with stricter airport security. Barely have time to make anything for a light snack, let alone bring it on board.
Hahahaha, moral support, I know how it feels mate. Reminiscing the times when I used to follow my former gym bros back in JB for competitions, just for moral support! Damn I miss my first gym

You can workout 7 times a week if u wanna, but if you're not gonna control what you're putting INTO your body, don't expect to see FAST results. Exercise alone doesn't make u loose fat, in the long run, yes, but if you want fast results and you wanna do it properly, PLAN YOUR DIET FIRST.
Alternate cardio and weights..

5kg in a week, are u sure it was only the ice cream that was your guilty pleasure?
and uhm, are u doing any weight training?

Seriously, a PT who tells you to take fat burners from the beginning just shows how much knowledge he has on nutrition and fitness . Protein supplements and/or BCAA's are necessary for recovery and muscle building as its almost impossible to get ALL the protein a body needs for recovery and muscle building from normal food alone. Fat burners are a big no no IMHO for people who are just starting out and planning to get FIT naturally. I'm not saying they're all bad, but remember that there's always a time and place for everything and fat burners are hands down one of the last methods you should be turning to at an early stage.
Seriously, u need to look for another personal trainer. Loads of them out there who are honest and have YEARS of experience but just never had the chance to market themselves. I'd suggest u go find one Kasey Brown, a fellow contributing forummer here. He knows his stuff, and yes, he'll make sure you do it PROPERLY!

0126980045, just call or sms him I guess..
He charges RM20 per session if I'm not mistaken, but money aside, this guy KNOWS HIS STUFF!! Cheers

Haha, well, its never to late to make a change flow3r, especially when it comes to staying and getting healthy.

Go through the whole thread. Then ask anything you're not sure about. Don't just post and expect to be spoon fed.

Hahahaha, word sista!

Well I'm still maintaining at 83kg, which IMO is just nice for me considering I'm above 6 feet height wise. Focusing more on cutting now for the next 2 months coz I've been bulking for the past just increasing the weights as I progress!! Hahaha
