Incline bench still rosak. I think it was fixed, and then immediately spoiled again. The maintenance guy probably didn't address the underlying cause of the problem.

Took measurements before the workout today. Super devastated. I've been incorporating light cardio workouts over the past one month. But guess what? My body fat is still at 17% which happens to be exactly the same as it was a month ago. Frus!!! Visceral fat is still exactly the same at 7% and subcutaneous fat at 11%.

And to make matters worse, my weight dropped. From 78.3kg to 76.8kg. So in one month my weight dropped when I was expecting it to increase to 80kg or so. Combo with the body fat thing and it becomes a really huge blow for me. Also, body age remained at 30, no idea how the hell they measured this.

Anyhow, strength today seems to have dropped/maintained compared to last week's workout. Maybe I need a new routine...

I seriously feel fat today. Contemplating of changing routine to 3 days per week, possible inclining more towards strength workout, possibly incorporating more cardio, but don't know where to start yet. Today workout rets in between sets for rows were longer than usual cos sharing the machine with a group of 3 frens who spend a lot of time chatting when it's their turn. Shit lah, I think my back is damn weak, and I can't seem to get stronger.

Met mix fm van while walking home. When there were four of us, they gave out 4 prizes randomly based on what card we pick. Prizes were a pair of 2012 premier tickets, two pairs of GSC complimentary tickets, and 1 pair of Da Vinci Exhibition in Pusat Sains Negara. Guess what... I got the Da Vinci one. Don't even know what the heck should I do with it. I doubt any of my friends are interested either. But at least I got something for free haha.

I found an excellent way of practicing insanely fast guitar solos! Download the tabs on GuitarPro, slow down the BPM and loop it. Practice with slow speed first and then slowly up the BPM. Previously what I did was practice on slow speed with cacat rhythm, and so when I try to play it fast, there are screw-ups somewhere. And I also can't get the rhythm perfectly right if it mixes in a lot of semi-demi-quavers and semi-quavers and quavers because I can't really distinguish the proper rhythm but when slowed down on GuitarPro I can distinguish it nice and clear.

Feels like I'm cheating a little bit though. Using some program to help me practice.

Btw, calves feel tight since yesterday or two days ago, so I worked with slightly lighter weights today. Still felt it hard on the calves though. Calf strength drop?

I feel like I'm cramming too many workouts in Arms day. Haha. I did 7 sets of chest and back workouts with light weights today. I did a few sets of light chest work yesterday and the day before, too, just to keep the muscles working. Anyway, I'm gonna take a one week break next week due to full day revision classes so doing some light work now to compensate slightly would be good too. Didn't do any shoulder work though

Diet yesterday and today quite good. Except that I am most probably going to tapau KFC for dinner in a while. Haha.

Weirdddd diet today. Should have grabbed a fried chicken as an afternoon snack instead of sandwiches. Did all chin-ups today because the only cable pulldown machine was being shared by too many people at once. I want a stronger back so I can chin-up all I want!!

My last chest workout was 2 weeks ago. My last leg and Arms workout was about 3 weeks ago. Had to go on a short hiatus due to full day classes + fever, bad cough and flu, which I'm still stuck with right now. Diet has been bad for the past few days due to lack of appetite + lack of food resources at home. I'm not particularly proud of my diet today, either...

Strength dropped, but not as bad as I expected... Except for incline bench press. My incline bench is super weak, I used to be able to lift much more than what I've lifted today. No idea what contributed to the huge strength loss. Maybe its got something to do with my form? Oh well.

Workout was longer due to wait time to use cables and the time spent to find some missing dumbbells, which I never did found in the end.
