Yeah, but let me finish my exams first. i can finally put my entire education life behind me in 2 weeks time

Ok, just curious. Are you a Malay or Chinese? Your skin seems pretty tan.

Chinese. I think it's the lighting.

Ok. Shit... me stomach's growling. I think it's time for my next meal. I have a choice of either this delicious can of tuna in my room or going out and grabbing some mixed rice. And we've been flooding this poor guy's journal. I feel bad. Sorry TS.

u guys are chatting on his journal hahaha. but seriously his PT aint know much. knees to sternum? i bet the PT gave TS the name of the movement.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

Just want to clarify a few things:

1. I'm not too well acquainted with the correct exercise terminologies, so you might see a couple of funny descriptions to the exercises that I'm doing. These shouldn't reflect on my PT, because I'm just trying to describe my movements as best I know how. (i.e. how I would call a Military Press "pushing the bar over my head while standing up".)

2. My PT isn't a professional PT. He is in fact a good friend of mine whom I have seen transform physically. Once again, my descriptions of his actions may not be all too accurate, so please do not hold that against him. (i.e. the "knees to sternum" exercise wasn't created by himself, but is actually a "bent over row").

Anyhows, thanks for pointing out lots of stuff guys. I really appreciate it. I'm going to pack up now and head over to the gym.

By the way, my armpits hurt like hell today. My other body parts feel a little awkward, but my pits are killing me.

what the ....
hahaha
pits....lmao
of all the places to have an ache.

been doin pull-ups or something?

You mean your lats. Not pits. You did back today didn't you?

Session 2 - Breaking In

Had my second session last night, and one thing's for sure - I'm way out of shape.

Yesterday's session focused on lower body workouts and this morning when I woke up my whole groin area and back hurts like hell. Argh...!! I can't even get into my car without grimacing in pain. But I guess pain is part of the process huh?

After warming up, we started off with squats. Completed first set of eight reps with 17kg. Proceeded next three sets with 27kg. Apparently, squats are the easiest to progress so my PT will be adding more weights to my squats next time around. Erk...

Bar - Squats: 1 set of 17kg, 3 sets of 27kg

My hamstring started acting up. My thighs were feeling painful. But this time, I didn't feel dizzy or the sort. We then proceeded to doing deadlifts. After 3 reps of 27kg's, my back couldn't take it any more, so we stopped there.

Bar - Deadlift: 3 reps of 27kg

Took a short rest and started working out on everyone's favorite muscle group - the abs. Started off with some leg rolls. Needless to say, I didn't do very well...

Leg roll raise: 4 reps

My legs were aching. My back was numb. My body was torn. I just had to do a couple of isolated crunches before I could call it a day...

Isolated Crunch: 5 reps

What a day. The only thing I managed to finish were the squats. Argh... Sad sad sad...

Uhmm... what's a leg roll? You mean leg curls for the hamstrings? And i hope you got your pre and post workout nutrition dialed in or else you won't be able to lift properly and break plateaus.

Leg rolls... LMAO

Sorry la guys... like I said I am not good with these kind of workout terminologies and just call the exercises the way I see them.

Not a problem... Were you talking about this? http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Hamstr...ingLegCurl.html

Nope. I was lying flat on my back and rolling my legs upwards. The goal was to use my knees to touch my chin or forehead sort of thing. Apparently it's a workout for my abs?

This? http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/HipFle...ngLegRaise.html

Yeap. That's more like it. But without holding on to anything. Hands flat on the floor.

It's the same thing. Just different way of execution

what did you eat pre and post workout?
btw, which company u working for ah?

To be honest, my diet hasn't changed much. I have reduced my carb intake by about 50%. I don't take any diet pills or protein, and only eat tongkat ali capsules to boost my testosterone level.

Also, I'd rather not disclose my company at the present time. Shy la
