Did leg prss for the first time today instead of bb squats. Felt weird. Much easier to do. I reckon I could have gone for an extra 40lbs or so, but whatever la...

Because leg press wasn't as taxing as squats, as well as I didn't go for maximum weight, I didn't get the usual nausea today. Hooray! Haven't felt so good on a leg day since god knows when.

And because of lighter load on my main exercise and no nausea, I guess I was able to go heavier than usual for all the other exercises. Leg extensions felt surprisingly easy.

Will return to squats next week. Maybe. I don't know. It feels more effective, bt it also brings in more disadvantages. Decisions, decisions.

I was busy today. Went I reached home it was like really late, and I took a short nap before hitting the gym. Felt dizzy after the nap, no mood at all, but felt much better once I started lifting the weights.

Somehow my endurance today damn good. Can do biceps and triceps with my heaviest weight (which is actually quite light for the average BB-er) for all the sets. Weird. Normally I would be forced to use lighter weights in following sets, but not this time. Hope to keep this up.

Alot of lenglui in the gym today btw. thumbup.gif

Strength is damn freaking pathetic today. I was sure I would have an increase in strength but instead I became much, MUCH weaker, so much so that it is still puzzling me now.

First set was okay, 60 lbs x 11. Then I attempted the 70 lbs. Failure. Only managed 6 reps. And then thereafter everything went downnnnnnhill. Worst performance in a while.

Btw, did my incline smiths and machine press sets alternately. Same for the cable crossover variations.

Skipped workout yesterday due to heavy fatigue.

Was very tired today as well, after coming back from playing pool. Was running late too. But I can't skip, cuz I adu skipped yday... so I went anyway, but I did fewer sets than usual. 6 sets vertical and 6 sets horizontal.

Somehow I feel that I use more of my right lats than my left. >.<

Dayummmm... My shoulder strength increased quite significantly in just one week. Why can't my chest and back be like this? sad.gif But no worries, because time overcomes anything and everything! smile.gif

Damn cheebye lah my neighbour's kids. Last time one of them threw firecrackers at his dog and I farked him off. Now the youngest one is shooting BB guns at my maid. I warned him not to do it again, but if he dares to do it again I'll go straight to his parents. GG lah him masa tu...

Shit.. today memang hailat. I think I pushed myself too much on the squats. A few reps there I seriously thought I was a goner. Push halfway up then suddenly stuck in the air, GG!

And as usual I started getting nauseous after the squats, but initially it wasn't so bad so I went on and continued doing normal workouts. I did have prolonged periods of rest in between sets due to the nausea though.

As a result of my recklessness, I puked after completing the last set of leg extensions. I instinctively cupped my hands to contain the vomit, but it still managed to spill out a bit. Walked towards the changing room awkwardly with my hands still cupped. Got the janitor to clean the remains later. I wonder if anyone else noticed me puking? I was right beside the dance class when it happened =.=

The first thought that crossed my mind after I vomit was, "Fark... my precious nutrients!!!"

Haha, remember the dude who claimed he ate his own vomit? It sounds so bizarre and unbelievable if you think about it. The stench and the texture, eugh!! doh.gif

Anyway today my arms macam biasa lah. Surprisingly my wrist curls decreased in performance. To top it off, form for left arm was a bit off...

Could have definitely gone heavier for triceps, but decided to just remain in my comfort zone for now. No hurry.

Did some light cable crossovers just for the heck of it. biggrin.gif

Hit the gym kinda late, so therefore no postworkout. I'll skip that and go straight to having my dinner.

Measured my weight immediately after workout. Celaka, the increase is damn negligible lah, emo adi. BF still stuck at 14.6%, weight is now 75.2kg. Probably less cuz I dun trust the accuracy of their ciplak machine.

Omg, damn friking emo today. This is probably one of the worst, or possibly even THE worst, workout I've ever had in my life.

My performance today was seriously depressing. Remember how I did 70lbs x 6 last week as the second set into my workout? You don't, but now I'm telling you I did. Today I tried doing it as the first set, but failed to even get into position. Damnit! I attempted the 70lbs several times but always failed when trying to get into position. It feels as if I have zero control over the dumbbells. After 3 or 4 attempts, I was frus as hell and went on to the 60 lbs instead.

That's not even the worst part yet. I did two sets of incline DBs, only to realize that I am performing very, very badly today. Fine. I move on to doing the easier exercise, smith inclines. But I could barely even lift half of what I was lifting last week! Like, wtf? Its as if my muscles are screwing around with me! Just compare my poundages and reps today with last week's, and you'll see why I'm so frus with my chest muscles today. Damn. Even when i tried going lighter with higher reps, my muscles still fail to perform.

Don't know what went wrong and where, but I seriously need to reconsider my chest workout routines. I've been stuck at the 60lbs x 10 for MONTHS, with no progress. And just when I thought I was finally gonna break out of the stalling with the advancement to 70lbs, today I suddenly, and disappointingly, discover that I can't even get into the starting position. Back to square one again. Damn damn damn.

Due to the highly stressful levels of frustration, I decided to cut my workout short and did much less sets today than usual.

Diet lousy these past few days. Lacking.

Took measurements after the workout, 75.2kg and 15.7% BF. That's odd for my BF to be shooting up after surviving 3 days of Bootcamp's intense cardio exercises.

Cacat gym. Alot of equipment breaking/broke down already. I wanted to try my hand at doing barbell inclines but the adjustment screw rosak, so the seating couldn't be adjusted to a safe and comfortable level.

Wah I thought wanna relax today do leg press instead of squats. Cb, after leg press terus nausea gila. Had to go changing room and rest for damn friking long. Chat with this guy who was planning expansion for MyFitness for a while, which helped distracted me off the nausea.

Because of the longggggggg break I had energy to do relatively heavier weights with the extensions later on than I normally would.

Gym damn empty today, probably cuz everyone go watch MU vs Msia at the stadium 1km away.

Shit, terlebih tidur today. Woke up late. Decided not to hit the gym cuz I prefer not to rush my workout. Went to get a hair cut, on the way back saw my family walking towards the park to play badminton. Joined them. Forearms are sore now, left and right. Thought if I used my left hand I'd be able to lighten the load on the right, mana tau both also kena in the end. biggrin.gif Futsal tomorrow. So my plan is to do Arms day on Tuesday. Then resume normal 5-day cycle on Friday.

And the best part is... while I was on my way home I saw this really, really sweet looking chick! Too bad she's walking with what looks like her bf... Aih. Lol

Skipped the planned Arms day I was talking about in my previous post. Forearms hurt too much from badminton. Stayed at home and did biceps and triceps deloading with 5kg DBs instead.

My middle left back hurts when I rotate my torso to the anti-clockwise. Its not muscle pain. I don't know the source of the pain, but it feels serious. It started yesterday night. I was just having my supper, and when I stood up the pain struck me so suddenly, with no warning signs. Went to bed, woke up, the pain is still there. Feels like some nerve damage or something lol. Feels dangerous. But it didn't affect my back workout today, except only a little when I was doing DB rows.

Forearms were weak today. Nearly dropped the weights during shrugs.

Ran out of milk today.

Today macam damn weak. So I used less heavier weights for the sake of keeping my form in check. Form for lateral machine raises could have been better, can feel that I used my left delts more than my right to push the weight up.

Rasa kuat jer hari ini. Maybe because I did only two sets of main lift, the leg presses. But even with only two sets, it was enough to get my heart beating like it was about to explode and I ALMOST felt nauseous (but narrowly escaped). So anyway from now on I'll just restrict my main lifts to a mere two sets. I think being nauseous is counter-productive, so its better for me to not take any risks.

On a side note, the leg presses form doesn't hit the quads as much as I would want it to. Also I can't imitate the motion of below parallel squats on the leg press. Heck, even getting to parallel is already nearly impossible. The best was to just settle for nearly parallel. I should go back to BB squats next week. See mood how. biggrin.gif

Wow wth, I just realized my last proper Arms day was on 30th June, which is almost a month ago. WTF! So its not surprising that my strength dropped a little, though I'd have expected it to drop more than this. In a sense, my triceps's strength increased a little, too. Though I could feel my chest muscles working slightly while doing the triceps press. I don't really mind though, since I enjoy working the chest muscle most since its my worst-built body part.

This is my first proper shrugs in quite a while, too...

Workout took longer than planned because was chatting with some other guy about his progress in the gym.

Damn, I just had a look in the mirror and I think my body looks awesome, especially my back, legs and shoulders. used my sister's handheld mirror to check my back out, didn't know I had such a nice natural V-shape from a back view biggrin.gif

The only two parts of me that looks out of place is the chest and the abs. The abs are not symmetrical by virtue of genetics, but that's not the main problem. The main problem here is that my chest is really flat and I dare say that it is quite ugly, hence making the abs look like its bulging out and out of place when really it isn't.

Well, I hope the shape of my chest will improve in the year(s) to come and eventually I will look more aesthetically pleasing. I'm still hoping for my consistent workout and diet to pay off in the end. Chesssssssstttttt!!
