If you want to lose weight, you need full equipments. So join a gym and make full use of it. I have a pair of dumb bells and bench, it can't do much.

"kam cheng" is go and make friend with them. I know all the PTs, and good relationship with them, so not a problem to me.


Ayam not a lawyer lare, ayam a Graphic Designer.

Oh that statement CANNOT be further from the truth.
U ain't seen the wonders of cross training yet.

You don't need full equipments for a total body transformation. Get rid of that mindset of yours and you shall reap the benefits.

Try doing this 200 rope skips , 25 rope pullups. Do that for a start. Of course you can break it down to a few sets

Once you get over that, either increase the reps or move on to another circuit like this :

50m sprints, 10 burpess(explosive please), 6-8 pullups.

If you happen to come by a gym , do this :

DB CNJ or Power cleans , Pullups on bar, Renegade rows.


Versatility is the key. Kill that old mindset of yours.

I iz are understand what you guise trying to say.

You do skip rope, you need to buy a rope. When you lie down, you need a proper mat. You do pull up or chin up, you need a proper steel to do that. When you workout, you need a proper space. EVERYTING IS MONEY. You might as well join a gym to get ALL EQUIPMENTS?

Ayam not talking about using machines or using weights or what, ayam talking about the proper equipments at gym.

I know functional training too mmkay. I'm doing that as well daily. A lot of other things I didn't include here about my workout. You can even workout without using anything.

Just ask yourself, how long can you do, the same workouts again and again daily?

Apparently some of you guise underestimate me a lot.

Don't be defensive, no one here is underestimating your capabilities of functionality. If you think you are good, then good for you.

We are here to advise, if you aren't prepared for any bantering, you shouldn't even post.

A rope cost you 6.50MYR , You don't need a mat to lie down. I do my chinups on my front grill. You can even go to the park and get it done on the monkey bar. If you want space, go to the park, a whole load of space over there. Tell me which gym can you go besides Pushmore where you can even do 50m sprints or shuttle runs. If you have a gym membership, that is certainly an advantage, but if you don't ; work with what you have.

What functional training do you do every single day?



Cheers

Yes, you are the best. Everyone shouldn't join a gym.

I rest my case. I KNOW a person can lose fat or weight by doing that, but the best machines, equipments, tools are all in the gym.

I'm not being defensive, it just that the way I explain things in forum sometimes people just don't understand, or maybe because of my English.

I have no time for this, I would rather stay focus on myself than bother about people's problem when I still haven't solve mine.

This is a body transformation thread, if you are looking for a debate, go to elsewhere.

Don't cut things short like that. I don't want to debate. I just expected something mature. This is your thread. You have all the rights to block off anyone for going against your statements.

PS: I have a gym membership.

Neither of us are condemning you zeist. You made a statement that the best place to lose fat is the gym, and personally I find that untrue. Thus I voice my opinion that speaks against what you've first stated.

That's all I'm saying.
Shane's put it in a less politically sensitive sentence, with the same essence.

We've not stepped foot into functional training. We're merely talking bout mixing and matching a few exercises, that pumps up your cardiac strength and endurance and at the same time, helps burn off the fat like a furnace.

It is merely a reply against the "You need to join a gym" statement. Really dude, relax. LOL!

I guess Zeist is trying to say joining a gym would give you more motivation to do many types of workout hence losing more weight?

I see the force of joining gym and the benefits derive from joining gym.

But it's still personal opinion after all. Money matters. I've always wanted to join Fitness First since it's only the nearest in my area and wouldn't be a problem of transportation. But due to money and afraid of University schedule.. I didn't.

However, I do not see why we can't train with basic sets that can make available at home. After all, having those equipment at home make it flexible, and we can adjust our time, save transportation and such. Those sets can be increased by stages

I train at my hostel room Although not much development, I'm happy with my progress over a month

Anyway, hw's your training zeist? Good luck ya!

As usual, like the workout schedule at first post.

Yesterday (tuesday) I did legs, today shoulder and traps.

Squat so far getting better.

(5kg plates as warm up)
- 10kg each side + 20kg bar, 10 reps
- 15kg each side + 20kg bar, 8 reps
- 20kg each side + 20kg bar, 3 reps

The last set, I know if I do the 4th rep, I sure go down on the floor and lulz at myself.

No deadlift, a little scared.

It's actually a lot easier to just go with 60KG. Total weight including the bar. It's the standard calculation.

We usually go with one plate, two plates, three plates, four plates like that. Sorta like, if the say "I'm lifting 4 plates" =405LBS. Rather than you going

Squats: 20KG bar+20KG+20KG+20KG+20KG each side. Sorta like it's industry standard

Closed!

Today I met my friend again, I kasi do deadlift. Me deadlift is PASS this time.

Next week my deadlift aim are, 3 sets = 40kg, 50kg, 60kg. Yea, let's kasi koyak. 10reps, 8reps, 8 reps (last set if cannot 8reps, kasi 5 reps will do).

Warm up = 20kg (including bar) 5 reps
1st set = 30kg (including bar) 10 reps
2nd set = 40kg (including bar) 8 reps

Today's workout = Back, Bicep, Forearm

the squat is freeweights full squat?


Chow

Full squat.

According to my friend today, a doctor, he says that we musn't do full squat, in the long run the knee will be injured.

Today I tried 80% go down, it is slightly easier. I'm able to do 3 reps at 80kg. If do full squat, I really need to scream to get up, lulz!

weight le bro...
ur deadlift is half of ur squat?
aint squat lesser than dl?
hmmm... i started 1st time squatting at 70kg.
now can do 80kg squat.
deadlift can do 120kg.
i think u can do more deadlifts....
try put more.

Oh....

deadlift I only squat halfway. That is what most people do here. Some guise do stiff leg deadlift.

deadlift is definitely easier than squat, if you do 100% squat go all the way down, really hard like hell. Go down about 75% is good enough, don't take the risk. As long can feel the hamstring koyak orgasm, can already.

I need a better gloves, ppffftt!

Parts that I need to put more effort into...

- Back (middle, lower and lats)
- Abs
- Calves

I'm doing some serious abs workout now. Everyday can feel the koyak orgasm around my abdomen area. Uhhh!

Calf raise, still can't get the proper technique of doing it. I'm still doing it inconsistently.

Back, always pisses me off. Don't really feel the koyak orgasm much, or even worse NONE.

Also, train even harder so that I can do dips and chin up/pull up in future. These exercises are very good and important, that's why I want to do it.

When I first started doing back also no feel on the back... But after a few months the muscle develops, your form improves and you can actually feel there is muscle there. And with muscles there, you will feel sore the next day after a back workout.

That's what I believe anyway, no evidence to back it up though, just personal experience.

Today's workout = Chest and Tricep.

I love the chest fly machine, bench press so far only 40kg (3rd set, about 7 reps. I think I can do 60kg 1 rep, next week I'll try.

Bench Press definitely need more improvement.
