Yup. I'm doing standing military presses. My trainer wants me to eventually do low reps and high amount of sets because he emphasizes on form. We'll see how tomorrow's session goes!

I want to kill your trainer. When you emphasize on form, you need more reps to get it right. How else will you prime your neural efficiency for a specific exercise?

Most of the trainers or should I say certified personal trainers do not know jack shit

Lol... Have you ever been to Celeb as a guest? Look at the shape of the PTs there. It's disgusting. To give at least one fitness centre credit, I would tentatively say that FF at least has a slightly better standard of personal training but not by much.

So far I think the PT at Menara SPK is well worth mentioning. But then again, that place is full of gaylords  doh.gif

You're talking about the FF at Asia Jaya? I can never get used to the new name. Probably because i used to spend hours bowling there a long time ago.
My sis used to be a member there.

No no, I think that's Menara Axis. Not sure about that. Erm, but then again, I think the place I was referring to is actually Wisma SPK, not menara, can't be sure though. It's located somewhere around the corner of Jln Sultan Ismail, near TGIF.

Then no. I'm mistaken. Are you ever gonna come to one of the meetups?

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

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. tongue.gif I feel bad. Sorry TS.

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.

You mean your lats. smile.gif 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: 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.
