thx. and yups, i am following CC from step 1 proper. although i do throw in some improvisation on my own when i'm bored with a certain routine. i don't have time for gym and i figured bodyweight exercises can fit in my schedule perfectly, easy on the wallet as well.

i think i've been overtraining and have not been eating well to support my training. i have high cholesterol at 7.1 the last i checked. so i can't take eggs nor meat or any of the easily accessible proteins. perhaps protein shakes is a good alternative... gonna reschedule my training to 3 days a week from now on.

tuesday - handstand and bridges
thursday - pushups and leg raises
sunday - pullups and squats

my cardio comes from tennis (thursday night, saturday morning and sunday morning) and basketball (saturday evening and sunday evening).

i hope i will be able to stick to that schedule.

uneven pushups
2x5

flat straight leg raises (6 count)
1x15

thx! have to deviate from my training last night. the earlier steps of the pushups series was getting mundane, had to do something different to spice it up... hehe...

Shoulder-width Pushups
1x12
1x9
1x14
1x10

completed the series with 1x10 Knee Pushups.


Flat Straight Leg Raises
1x14
1x11
1x15
1x10

completed the series with 1x10 Flat Bent Leg Raises.


Uneven Pushups
R - 1x7
L - 1x5
R - 1x4

I couldn't complete the series due to low energy level. Body was so tired, straight away went to bathe and took a nap right after cooling down. reminder to self, eat more on workout days (porridge at noon and 2 pieces of bread for tea at 3pm is NOT ENOUGH).

Ordered a pullup bar online from mudah.my and it arrived last friday. Been GTGing with the pullup bar the whole weekend.

Did a bunch of Uneven Pushups before and after basketball as well, and Hanging Knee Raises too, forgot to keep count.

A pre-workout meal consisting of Instant Oats (7-8 teaspoon) with condensed milk (2 teaspoon), Raisins, and half a cup of low fat milk taken 20-30 minutes before the workout really helped in providing energy.

incline pushups
3x25

bent leg raises
2x5

kneeling abs wheel rollout
1x8

hanging to do bent leg raises took lots of grip strength and stamina. fingers are shaking as i'm typing this.

Incline pushup
8x20

Did a bunch of stuff last weekend. Been eating more than usual as well. Substituting diary product with vegan based proteins instead. Bought season's soy bean milk for rm1.69/1litre pack in Giants. Pretty good deal i must say, considering low fat milk is already like rm4.99 cheapest.

Still GTGing with my pullups/chinups. Max is 4 rep for pullups at the moment.

Been concentrating with cardio for the past weekend, basketball session on sunday evening lasted easily 1 1/2 hours non-stop. Went home with sore thighs.

Dinner was at khunthai. Tom Yam gave me back my appetite.

Weighted myself after dinner, it was a staggering 67kg, the heaviest i've ever been. Considering i was only 64.5kg about 1 week ago.. gotta weigh myself tonight again to be sure. should be artificial weight from the shogun buffet..

There was a hailstorm in SJ, had a good nap.

Lunch consisted of home made noodles soup with beef balls.

pre-workout meal consisted of bread with peanut butter and sweet potato.
