Lol... go and look at the contents of 3 in 1 oats. Then you'll know.

Mayb u have a small stomach, therefore can't eat much. I can exchange mine

Ok my preworkout and postworkout today is way much more than my usuals. I don't think I'll be able to take in much for lunch later lol, seeing as to how full I am right now. I wonder if I can keep up this kinda diet in the coming days? It'll be a good thing if all my pre's and post's are similar to today's...

On the way to the gym I came across a black dog. It was panting as if it was tired, hungry and... pissed. I avoided it by taking a different path than I normally would but then it followed me, trotting slowly. I was like, shit, if this creature gets any closer I'm gonna start running my ass off. And at that moment the dog suddenly shifted to a faster pace, as if impatient to get near me! Heck, I quickly sprinted away with all the atoms of my body, for like 3 seconds!! And after turning a corner I looked back, only to find that the dog didn't even give chase =.=

To be honest, I enjoyed the adrenaline rush and I loved the feeling of sprinting as if I was the wind itself.

Anyway for today's chest day, I didn't do declines because my triceps couldn't take it anymore. It isn't even fully recovered from the recent Arms Day yet, maybe cuz it just came back from its CNY holiday and is still trying to get used to being hit hard. Next week should be a better week.

I checked only for protein and carbs when I bought it. The values are similar to the other type of Oats so I just grabbed whichever was more convenient lol.

Hehe no thanks, don't want your perut buncit LOL xD But anyway welcome back

Workout today was excellent, primarily because there was a hot chick working out at the same time as I was. Seldom see chicks working out, and a really good looking one at that too. I would've struck a conversation with her, but I know I'm not a natural when it comes to striking up with chicks I don't know, especially if they look stunning enough to stun my nerves.

DB presses for set 2 and set 5 were straining on my lower/middle back, on the right side, in the last rep. Musn't push myself too hard lest I get injured. Other than that, form was quite good.

I did a bit of cycling at the end of the workout. Lol is it even considered as a proper cardio workout? I didn't even feel my heart race at all, although the machine read my heart rate as 130-140.

Oh yeah I saw one beginner doing smith shoulder presses in the wrong form. Dunno whether to correct him or not but decided not to since I myself am not too experienced. I'm starting to regret my decision though.

Saw another tough guy who looks like he has an ego bigger than his head doing barbell curls with detestable form. He was using his whole body to swing the bar up with momentum. Didn't look like he was even using much of his biceps at all. Can't he tell? Didn't correct him either, I don't like to mess with ego-looking guys.

Progress test coming soon, haven't studied at all. Feeling a bit stressed. Also since my chest size is lagging behind other body parts it is making me feel stressed as well. I've heard that stress affects muscle growth adversely, so I must somehow try to calm myself down and be one with the universe lol.

Gonna go shower and have my dinner soon, that's why didn't take much for postworkout..

So nice to workout in the gym, can people watch It it was me, i would welcome anyone to give me tips in the gym. If the guy declines, he would be learning less then.

Ohh ya, don't worry too much abt ur test, your healthy heart will send lots fresh nutritious blood to ur brain & u'll study even faster than ever.

Good luck !

My test is on Wednesday to Friday... thought of doing last minute study tomoro, but when I checked my timetable, I was like DAMN! Turns out I got class from 8am to 6pm tomorrow LOL!! Better start now la...

Thanks for the encouragement btw.

If you wanna join the gym let me know so I can get free 1 month lol. And one of the consultants told me they will waive joining and processing fees if you are intro-ed by another member.

Sometimes I tak sengaja stare at others when they doing their workout... Cos I'm impressed by their body/form/etc lol. Too bad seldom got chicks in free weight area...

Just got back from the gym. Seldom go at night, wow, the atmosphere is sooo different from during the daytime. Its packed like hell, I can hardly even maneuver myself around. Lots of big dudes with crazy-ass muscles at night.

My biceps is still so damn weak. Very little improvement. For my second exercise I wanted to do one-arm triceps overhead extensions but there were no benches so, yeah. And I also wanted to do barbell curls or cable curls as my second biceps exercise but too many people were queuing up for the bars and the cables, so yeah. Did curls on a machine I'm trying out for the first time. The range of motion is so odd, I don't think I want to use it ever again. And I don't understand how the machine works. I doubt I can really lift 45kgs with only one side of my biceps >_> And for the first set I tried doing it one arm at a time, and I accidentally did my right biceps first lol, so my left biceps obviously ended up failing at fewer sets.

I'm hoping my biceps grow stronger by next week. Plan to do barbell curls and cable curls, full range of motion.

Oh yeah it was my progress test today. Did last minute studying so yeah, I kinda flopped the paper. Left 30 marks blank haha. It'd be great if I don't fall anywhere below 60 marks. Must study harder for the next test, I want a nice 80+ next time... There's an Audit test tomorrow as well and I'm not prepared for it either. Screwedddd!

Thanks for your invitation.. I kind of like exercising in the confines of my home cos can start immediately & do whatever after that. But yes, i think the gym might be a better place to focus. But the thought of travelling to / fro the gym also puts me off. Oso the thought of paying monthly fees, i'm the stingy type hahaa. C how la.. mayb in future i might change my mind when i'm bored of home.

Whers ur gym manager chick ?

Lol I see her around quite often training other people.

I felt reluctant to go to the gym today, now that I know the gym is packed like a can of sardines in the night time. Worried cannot get a smithie. Surprisingly though when I reached the gym there were much less people today than there were yesterday, so had no probs getting a smith.

Didn't feel like pushing myself today so just stuck to poundages I am comfortable with. And I think it was a great decision, because my squats form was satisfactory today. I'm kinda worried about my test tomorrow, haven't started studying. Wonder if I will be able to motivate myself to study for 1-2 hours or not later. Hope I won't freak and stress myself out rushing against time to review the syllabus.

Chest workout today. Postworkout pump looked extremely good, I wonder if its possible for my chest to look permanently like that even without the pump. Hopefully it is achievable after years of training. First two workout sets for DB flat was done in quite bad form. Arms were kinda wobbly. Chest started to feel really tight only after the 3rd set.

After workout took my postworkout shake and went for dinner. Felt kinda bloated so I steered away from rice. Somehow I'm in luck today, cuz there were lotsa hot chicks at the chinese restaurant just now. Could my eyes be deceiving me? Or maybe its just my testosterone boiling...

After my lunch today, I went and took a nap. Woke up later with stomach ache. I think its the nasi lemak that caused it, damn... Probably mild food poisoning. I took some traditional Chinese pills but it didn't help much. Nevertheless I still went out to replenish my food supplies and then went on to hit the gym. Due to my stomach condition I did not want to overwork myself so I did one less set per exercise.

Didn't feel the traps being worked on the shrugs today though, odd. I even upped the weight and checked my form, but somehow my traps just ain't feeling it.

Ran out of whey today. Last scoop for the postworkout. Will have to resort to something else for tomorrow's postworkout

Btw, my back is visible from the front now. Noticed this since about a week ago. There wasn't a V previously, but now its there... Yay!!

Btw the stomach ache didn't go away until about 10pm just now... Argh! Hopefully I don't wake up tomorrow to a case of diarrhea Or hopefully I do, so I've got a reason to skip college LOL!

Ran out of Whey so gonna go have my dinner as a postworkout. I didn't gain much strength this week, you can tell by the poundages I used for DB presses and lateral raises. However I am able to handle the 40lbs better, and also, it didn't hurt my back so much. This is probably because instead of adjusting the bench at the usual 85 degrees, I made it to be 75 or 80 degrees instead. Less pressure on the back.

I tried to do the warm up sets and my first workout set standing up. Can't balance myself as well as I'd like to lol, so did less reps than I normally could. So 2nd set onwards I reverted back to sitting my ass on the bench.

Btw, ACCA results are out. Passed my f4, 5 and 6. Anyone from ACCA reading this gimme a shoutout will ya?

What's ACCA? Accounting exam? Congrats on passing those.. u pass wif flying colors?

Thanks! Nolah, average marks only lol. About 70+ all... But I'm happy I passed lah And yup, its an accounting exam

Whoa.. ACCA is a tough course, worse than CIMA i heard.

Congrats on passing ! You have a good head on top of a toned body, thats a good combination No need worry abt exams anymore.

Haha I wish I had a nice body and a good brain... But sadly, I have neither T.T

Anyway for today I had to skip Arms workout because I had to finish some college assignments. In the end I still kena screwed by the lecturer cuz forgot to do some other questions. Zzzz should've just skipped work and gone to the gym instead lol.

I really want to do legs workout tomorrow, but my friends have invited me for badminton. Over the past few months I have been declining their invitations to join them for sports like futsal and other events, solely because I didn't want to miss my workout. If I do badminton/futsal my legs will be too sore for leg workout day, and vice versa, so basically its mutually exclusive. Also I didn't want to do sports on my other workout days so as not to over-exhaust my body, which means I only have 2 days in a week available for sports, but even then, Leg Day is in between the 2 rest days meaning I won't be able to do any sports either.

Anyway in the end I decided I will skip leg workout tomorrow to join them for once. Argh really sad that I have to skip legs... T.T

On another note, I plan to deload after another week of training. Which is even more reason for me to not skip this week's leg and arms workout, since I'm gonna be taking a break soon anyway. But still, I'm foregoing two workouts in this week. Damn now I feel guilty lol, even though I know I am making the right decision.

hrm...then why not bring forward the deload week to current week instead? Then u get a brand new next week for full body workout...of course that is if you have no distractions coming to you

Omg why haven't I thought of that? Excellent suggestion bro! But I'm kinda worried because I just recently took a one-week break on CNY... that's why if can maybe it'd be better to not rest again too soon lol... I'll think about it, thanks!

Dun rest ! Get up, get off ur butts !!

Eh, u not here.

Must b resting already... hhahaha..
