it feels great to have moved close to 5500 kilograms in one work out.

1 X 2 125kg full squat
3 X 3 120kg full squat
3 X 20 40kg walking lunges (and this really sucks you out. i just added this in cuz i need more endurance)
4 X 8 300lbs calf press

Strongman trials are less than three months away, and its all starting to take serious shape now. I am aiming to outdo myself (meaning till then, my timings improve every single session) and get in the top 25.

As I eat my boiled eggs now, I look back at my training and I really thank God for the protection. We know the risks that we take when we unrack the bar. And considering I train alone, I am really really thankfull for God's unfailing protection. (I have gotten pinned under the bar while benching twice - and i was alone) I also thank God for strength, for the past 2 mths, I have gotten stronger each and everytime I stepped into the gym, and no, I am not on ANY form of synthetic substances (steroids ect). It is by God's grace that I am seeing improved performance and reception to training. I also thank God for the people I train with on weekends.

Training with the best in Singapore really has its advantages. To all the members of Team Iron Behemoth, I salute you, Here's a shout to Sam, Keith, Vinod, KC, Jen, Ben, Jordon aka Ghost and Ryan and the newest member, Shiqi (the first female too!) I just halved my personal timing on the tyre flip to 1min32secs. got to get it under 50 secs before Strongman 09. The Behemoths will own it. And as we say, thats a Guaran-damn-tee.

Here's another shoutout to one of the best in Singapore, Elton Lim! 2007 under-21, under 70kg National Bodybuilding Champion. One chest training session with him last friday and I'm already seeing improvements. Thanks for answering my never ending questions and being so forthcoming with help and advice! Cheers mate!

To all who read this, GET FIT! Its a decision you will never regret. I am not just advocating strength sports or bodybuilding. But i have to say this : FAT IS UGLY! You cant do anything about your face, but you sure can lose that damn fats! Start running, swimming, resistance traning , the options and variety is limitless. www.bodybuilding.com is chock full of information on fat loss, so get busy!

There are alot of things on my mind now, none are slowing down enough for me to inscribe in sensible fashion. But for the grace of God.
