Workout update: Week 10 : October 31-November 6 (Day 61-67)

Wednesday

- Chest (Challenge my max weight in bench press (175lbs for 3 reps), I’m satisfied about it :) because the max weight that I can bench in the pass was 185lbs.  A 10lbs decrease of my endurance seems pretty normal.

-Tricep (Regular Cable Pull Down)

-Abs (4×30 standard sit up)

-Cardio (Treadmill run for 30 minutes, with switching up with different speed and incline)

Friday

- Squat (oh lord, I would never imagine that I can challenge myself in squat with free weight, the max that I hit on that particular day came to 155lbs x 6 reps, which make me believe my MAX endurance should be around 175lbs, since I am still a beginner with this workout, is better off if I start it out slowly I guess. Squat is actually a really good workout, because it actually used your lower back and your hamstring as well, and you will feel that you are using those muscle only if your resistant is high enough to stimulate those muscle group. Needless to say also that the next day, my thigh and glut hurt as well … lol)

-Shoulder (Standard side raises that I do, and military press. 4 sets x 8reps on each workout)

Sunday

-Tennis (After getting off from work with my friend in the restaurant, we had a pretty good practice section)

This week mark as the 10th week of my workout plan, and this week is also the first time in this period of time that I feel I am actually challenging myself to the breaking point. I guess sometimes you just don’t know how strong you are until you actually challenge yourself to get to that point. That very same concept in workout can easily apply to everything that we do in life, isn’t it?  You won’t know how strong you are until you hit that breaking point. There are so many things in life that we think we “can’t”, when you have that CANT mentality in your mind, always ask yourself “Have you given your best yet? Or that is simply an excuse? “

Note:  I will no longer go into too detail on each of the workout that I did, because I find it not too necessary, because basically in my workout, each body part workout I will do the max weight that my muscle can endure for 4 sets with average of 8 reps each (with one warm up set to begin with and last set to the failure)

If you have problem, face it. Don’t facebook it!

This is how many people don’t like Justin Bieber

I was watching this Justin Bieber’s “Baby” music video on Youtube, and witness this unusual thing.

There are actually more people to “Dislike” the video than “Like”. If you youtube a lot, you probably know that only the video that SUCKS will have such a bad feedback.

But obviously those are the Justin Bieber’s haters out there, well…but if you are the haters, why would you even bother to watch the video. The video has 642,511,303 hits ! damn it !  :P

Oct 16 (Sun) – None

Not much tennis last week, because the weather was bad for the whole week. :)

iPhone 4S or Samsung Galaxy S II – whichever last won !

Well, this video worth a thousands words. Don’t you think?

Are you one of those Apple fanatic? Where everything you use is always started with i, from using iMac, talking iPhone and reading iBook.

But apparently iPhone 4S does not pass the iCrash test.

p.s: I think I’m getting Samsung Galaxy S II :P

Every weight loss blog needs some photos to make it more convincing.

Fat Albert

Alright ! This is me ! Fat Albert !

And I believe the photo was taken around September 15 2011. :)

I was kind of hesitant at first to post my naked body on the blog, but since it will be embarrassing to fail the weight loss attempt anyway, why not to show the world the before photo and the after when the result comes out after 100 days.

November 9th 2011 will mark the end of my the 100 days weight loss program, and one third of the program is already pass me by. Got to work harder from now. :(

Today’s weight in : 160lbs (10/11/2011)

Day 31 – Day 39 (October 1-9 2011)

During this 10 days, I have been playing tennis with my friends.

We played 4 times of tennis in one of the sub division’s tennis court.

Feeling great after not touching my racket for over two years, and apparently I still have something left in me :)

Playing tennis make me feel young again!

And as the matter of fact, Tennis is actually a very good cardio exercise, it makes you sweat and require a full body coordination.
I can feel like it burn more energy than hitting the gym.

Day 20-Day 30 (November)

If you follow my blog, you will probably noticed that I am not a very consistent person. Unfortunately !

During that 10 days, I only hit the gym once, and the rest of the time just focused on something else.

I guess this is also the normal human behavior, and how human deal with motivation. For those who stay active and persistent, they prevail. For those who don’t, they are out of the game.

I am at the brink of losing track and I hope I will pull myself back in the game this time.

Let’s see !
