BACK TO THE GYM.

After a whole freaking year staying away from the gym due to a change in work hours and laziness, I'm ready to lift the bar again.

I am now working in Bangsar South City. Absolute Fitness just opened. Sweet. Plus I just discovered a 24-hour Warehouse gym in USJ that tickles my fancy.

The weights in AF are all in pounds. US equipment I guess.

I am a beginner again. Due to the lack of time I'm going for Stronglifts 5x5. Have only the lunch hour to workout since I have to be at work at 7 and most days OT until late (10-ish). Situation will improve in January.

Workouts on Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

Will update tomorrow after my workout.

Routine actually started last week.

All are 5x5 unless stated. Weights do not include the weight of the bar (about 5.5 lbs or so).

Monday
Squat 90 lbs
Bench Press 40 lbs
Overhead Press 30 lbs

Wednesday
Squat 120 lbs
Bent Over Rows 80 lbs
Deadlift (3 reps only) 160 lbs

Friday
Squat 140 lbs
Bench Press 50 lbs
Dumbbell Press (Barbells were occupied) 20 lbs a side

Looking to begin a better diet. Bringing fruits like banana and apples to work for snacks. Full of temptation, lots of junk food very nearby.

Eating bread + peanut butter + slice of cheese in the morning. Might just go for capati one of these days.

Lunch and dinner, mixed rice. Trying to skimp on rice.

Might need to re-plan.

Hey bro, how's the AF gym at Nexus? Does it have power cage? How many standard olympic barbells do they provide? My office is also nearby, am considering to sign up if it's good. Can you snap some pictures of the gym? Thanks. notworthy.gif

Hi there. The gym is ... sufficient. One squat rack. One bench press. One decline and one incline bench press.

If you want a power cage, I can suggest goto The Warhouse near Summit USJ.

I will take some pics for you tomorrow.

Thanks. I used to go to CF at Midvalley, that place has power cage but you know lah it's very hard to get parking space at Midvalley and the gym is very crowded at peak hours, so I quit after a few months. Not many gyms even in KL are equipped with power cage, but a squat rack should be enough.

My routine now consists of barbell exercises, so I want a place that provides 45-pound olympic barbells with standard weight plates. The plates at my current gym are "small", when i do deadlift i have to bend really low it felt like doing squat instead lol.

If you don't mind, how much is the fee? Sales reps of AF ran a promo at The Sphere months ago, if I'm not mistaken they gave free additional 1 year membership for anyone signed up for 1 year contract. I didn't sign up because I wanted to see the equipment provided first.

How would small places make you bend low?

The fee is around 1.6k for 15 months (I did not pay this price). Price varies from person to person because of corporate rate, referral, etc.

I mean the barbell height during deadlift setup is low (like <7") because the diameter of the plates at my gym are smaller than olympic plates so I had to bend lower. Hips are not supposed to go very low at the start of deadlift. Nowadays I just stack two plates to create a platform, but I make a lot of noises because the plates are all metal lol.

Yes, you are right. Plates at AF are considerably big. Haha. OK for me to deadlift.

Anyway today I have to visit the warehouse gym already. 9pm and still at work. I love my job ... too much.
