duh lol. you got flu and sorethroat any exercise also of course dont do la. your ownself can feel one. you go and exercise for what .

Anyway, guys I went to FF the curve today. Carlsuen, I already did squats with the 11.25kg each side. Here's the results

Squats
warmup set with bar
2 x 5

warmup set with 5kg each side
1 x 5

real set (with 11.25kg each side)
3 x 5 (I actually did 4 sets but the 2nd set I failed, due to breathing).

Then I did Pendlay Row
3 x 10 with the bar
2 or 3 sets x 5 with the 2.5kg each side

Standing Military Press
2 x 5 with the bar
1 x 2 with the 2.5kg each side (failed)
1 x 5 with the 1.25kg each side
1 x 4 1.25 each side (failed)
1 x 3 1.25 each side (failed) Pancit already by this time i think

everything alright? I think I can do the Pendlay Row almost 90 degrees already, I can do it better especially if I dont look at the mirror, then can focus forward and put my chest up.

Anyway, I think it's working, I think I'm getting stronger, because just now when the time I want to do the Standing Military Press, The bar feels very light

guess wat is this?

wah today was a not bad day at gym, but something bad happened, when I was doing bench press, the last rep I couldn't hold on so the right side of the bar dropped and tilted , kena me a bit lol...those people who stare cock at me in the gym are nice people after all, one strong guy helped me carry the fallen and tilted bar. . And then when I was doing another workout, I was doing it wrong, another strong and experienced guy came to help me with it. . Everything else was good, I'm going to be consistent now. How does the protein powder help? Damn expensive....Rm160 .

lol... do we really need the powder?

To get 6 pack you need a very very very low BFC.

Am going to LM this afternoon! Ive been working out religiously for 2 weeks now, but my weight didnt drop. My pants fit better tho

u r a female but u want 6 pack??

i'm going LM too but not afternoon...tonight

Am going to hv session with PT for 2 hours tomorrow..

PT, lol cool... nearly break ur muscles and bone.

great job iliveunderwater.. just keep at it.. looks like u are able to put more weight on your squats.. keep working on your military presses.. u need to get used to it that's all... keep at that weight untill u can perform all 3x5.. and remember, keep eating!

maybe he should start a journal also?
to keep track of his progress

That's a treadmill/glider control/display panel.

Here's what I did today:

Squat:
Warmup sets
2x5 with bar
1x5 with 5kg each side

Real set
3x5 with 12.5kg each side (succeeded!)


Bench Press:
2x10 with bar
3x5 with 2.5kg each side (I dont really know what to do...10 reps or 5?? how many kg???)

Deadlifts:
2x5 with bar
1x5 with 5kg each side
3x10 with 11.25kg each side


To Carlsuen and Chris: People in the gym (big size people, experienced look, some of them body quite toned) have been telling me that I'm doing the deadlift the wrong way. Got 2 guys, both big size and one of them body quite toned, the first guy with the toned body say, he started out with a size just like me, he then teach me the deadlift in a different way, Just the way to lift it up i mean, he say the one that Carlsuen teach me is Power Lift (and of course they teach me not to bend my back), and before I pick it up, he say put the bar close to my shin and tell me to do 10 reps, he say I must carry heavy weights if not no point, he suggested i start with the 10kg then move up the next week i come to gym. Then today another big size guy teach me deadlift a different way, he say must point my A-hole up, must bend my back (the part near the butt), and must not put the bar near the kneecap and should not touch the knee and my forearm must be in front of my kneecap, and he say the 11.25kg weight is too heavy for me (To me it is not very heavy actually, just medium), this guy's deadlift looks something like a Pendlay Row , he told me to lift up my Elbow and not my forearm when doing it, because if not I will be training my forearm instead. I'm getting confused. Whos right and whos wrong? What form do I follow?

Actually i thought of joining the club after my 1 month trial but now have to change my mind coz the consultant there is too cocky alr.Ask little bit things also cannot..if cannot ask den d consultaNT is there for wat?

iliveunderwater, I'm facing the same problem too...
as a newbie, sometime we just dunno which form to follow, different people uses different form. You see all sorts of forms are used at the gym, and most of the time we dunno whether those forms are correct or not.

Anyway, I use the form from bodybuilding.com as guideline. When in doubt, I'll just ask the sifus here

cowcow, most of those so called "consultant" (Personal Trainer, right?) aren't helpful at all... not to say all of them aren't helpful, but majority of them are @sshole. U go to any club also the same lar... never depends on them. This is already my 3rd month joining FF, and I've never seek help from any PT also, and I'm doing fine as newbie

cowcow, complaint to the front desk and ask them to get you another consultant .

am going to LM @ 2pm to join body jam class and PT session @ 3pm

weighed myself on the body fat measuring machine yesterday and my i gained 1.4 kg after 3 weeks of workout damn frustrating but i feel fitter, my clothes fits better, i can do longer cardio and can lift heavier. ah well, maybe I'm gaining muscle faster than losing fat

anyone still got the one month trial ticket?i need two...the so called pro-direct nvr return my call after even one week~!!sht
