letting go

ok just a brief update on what has been happening in my life for the last 2 weeks

well ...looking back i was possessive back than.

my dear just asked me is it that i dont love her anymore thats y i dont bother if she talks abt other guys,wear low cut tops and go out with her guy friend one on one.

if it was me a yr ago? i wld have blown my top off. now? i say do whatever u want...it doesnt really matter to me. cuz i know at the end of the day as long as she doesnt abuse my trust and comes back to me eventually? whats there to complain aabt? so it aint that i love you less or anything, its just me leting you have your freedom and the trust that have developed over these 2 yrs.

how time flies....almost 2 yrs into our rship with our 2nd yr coming next mth....just a week out from my nationals...so we decided that we should skip it and celebrate it after my nationals instead. whats worse than celeebrating a special occasion with me eating salad and looking like a zombie...using my last ounce of energy to go out?

valentines day was simple, brought her to araab street for some labanese food...yummy ! though i aint salad.....again... haha! ambience is fantastic!

got my tattoo template discussed with the tattoo artist too and i have decided on a full back oriental dragon of which i have paid the deposit....now im just awaiting for it to be sketched and for my comp to be over to do it. im haveing some doubts though....as if i want to compete again....i may need to place it else whr...cuz its a bloody full back we're talking abt. so it may be positioned on my chest delts and arms instead....will reconfirm this weekend.

my dear has been complimented on her muscular arms! haha....its getting bigger and bigger no doubt...just lack the cuts...but we will work on that slowly.

sch has ended..and honestly? i dont miss anything abt it... i feel so happy and free like a bird....right now im onto some discussions with certain pple with some business opportunity plans...we'll see how things goes in the next mth.

opportunity had been knocking on our door...with press releases set to be held really soon on certain magainzes and all...and if the three of us manage to pull off a big one this nationals, it wld be our first step to stardom.lets hope all things go smoothly . fingers crossed.

thats all for now folks

you will never succeed

Do this and you will never succeed:

Restart, restart,restart. Did you blow your diet during the friday and thus reason you can just as well keep on thru out the weekend and start over fresh again on monday?

Do you constantly work on your perfect solution which is so perfect you can never ever execute it?

Do you sneak in a special treat (oh it’s just 90 calories) almost every day?

Do you eat a little more because you train so hard?

Is your stomach jiggly because you always have pms 365 days of the year or you’re just fat honestly?

Do you use the bike because it’s easier and you can SIT DOWN and read?

Using machines instead of free weights because the latter are more difficult?

Are you sleeping in and missing your cardio more than once a week?

You refuse to realize your cheat days of all-out-eating will keep you fat?

You truly think you’ve got so much muscle, THAT is why you are thick? Not the fat on top huh?

Nuts are healthy so you eat a few servings a day. And you wonder why you won’t lose weight????

You go by “conventional standards” and thus eat according to what a person in the 50’s ate when being physically active with labor work and all, and you wonder why you are not leaner?

Do you heap on olive oil because it’s healthy fat? Some one told you it is good so you overdo it?

A little snack here and there won’t hurt huh?

You always forget to do cardio, but you do get in your weight training and this is key huh because stimulating the strong muscle mass burns the fat FOR you?….

You could never decrease your calories to get leaner: oh oh, you’d be less strong!!!! scary huh!!!

You don’t lose fat even though you train cardio once a day? Hm, try two times a day for three months and you’ll see…

You give up if you have not leaned out after 7 days.

there are many more ways to get no results, but let’s keep it short.

on the road to the nationals.

7 weeks out

"words of wisdom"

-It’s funny when sometimes people think I overdo the cardio or i eat too little carbs. come on...you think i dont know what the hell i am doing?

-There is a reason why so few walk around in super shredded condition: it takes so much dedication! And dedication that never takes a break!

-Bodies that are super shredded are LIVING on the edge! Get it! You are not supposed to have a lot of energy left after you’ve done your training! The price you pay is you gotta train thru tiredness, you cannot rely on food for energy, food is for recovery only! You cannot take extra carbs or fats to train harder, you need to recruit your mind and your willpower more than food!

-By moderate training and moderate calories? Hell no! EXTREME results require EXTREME measurements.being someone who is"moderate"? sorry that aint in my callibur.

-ive done so much research over the past few mths ,i think i am a walking fitness dictionary. but as i have come to realise, is that the more I read the more I know I know nothing...cuz its so true. things get so complicated and u just simply complcate urself but looking for the most effective fat loss diet,various forms of carb cycling, loading,zig zag diet , hiit cardio ,lild cardio ,high carb low fat diet, zero carb all fat diet and all...it just gets to you...what ive realised is...Knowledge is power, but true power is always applying the knowledge instead of just having it.

one thing ive learnt....is that there are no two ways about getting ripped. u have to be on a calorie deficit diet. you have to drop ur carbs...no question. however...the biggest mistake that i have made during my experience in muscle war ...is that i am afriad of refeed days. so many pple think im crazy loading anywhere above 200g of carbs on my refeeed days, when i have been going on 50g for 5 days. there u go...me looking stringy on stage .

now ive learnt. your body needs to have a refeed and they r ur best friend. right now...im gg 60g on low days and almost 350grams on my refeed days. those who disagree can shut the hell up cuz i know mybody the best.

moving foward

yes i know i know...

i have not been updating even after winning muscle war , i shld be eager to post up pics and all.

that aint really the case la.

cuz i knew that i only showed up at 60% of my max potential due to extensive depleting and not feeding my muscle enough,stuff to do with water and sodium that made me flat as a pancake that day. but i gotta say adrian did a fanstasic job in helping the both of us come in tip top condition.just some stuff i got to ammend as not every fits a certain approach.but i gotta say my buddy did.

well for those of u that didnt know what went on in the past few weeks, i won the muscle war 2010 above 170cm cat and my buddy got 2nd in the 2010 muscle war below 170cm cat. though i still feel that he looked better that zhen wei... its alright! only 3 pts lost.

well where do i go from here?

its been more than 2 weeks and i gotta say i have maintained absolute control on my diet as im only 80kg right now, meaning i have only put on 4kg in the past 2 weeks and my bodyfat % is at 8.4% checked yesterday.pretty good ar?

loads of extensive research done hrs a day everyday, trying to get it right this time round. 8 weeks out from the nationals, and im taking a higher carb approach this time now at 250 grams and not dropping below 150 grams this time...whr i dropped up to 40 grams 4 weeks b4 contest for muscle war. this time im going to"grow" into the show and look tighter and fuller carb loading with 100grams more this time round compared to the previous .

as im 8 weeks plus out and 8.4% bf, im going to go in mw hopefully at 4-5%...going to be as ripped as hell and tight this time round! haha so i can put on a gd show and let everyone remember it!



right and now that sch is ending, zen brandon and me have thought of starting our own personnel training business along with the help from magnum and some others, we do hope to get our website up and running by the end of this mth.

the reason as to why we want to start this business up is not because of $. its because we are really passionate in what we do and we want to see it as a gift to any future potential clients. i train at true fitness and california fitness, i have seen the way the pts do their training and boy...sometimes i get really mad. clients pay so much and get those kinda worthless service whr the pts talk more than they teach ,they dont act according to what they preach,just take a lk at their bodies. and they are practically spotting their clients from rep number 1.

for us ,its different, we want our clients to have mind muscle connection,to really have their session worth their money ,get what they r paying for and its no nonsense no jokes kinda training. u get what u pay for, u lose weight, u gain muscle . all talks can be done after training but when u train, u get ur ass down to it.

the rates are very reasonable and we r going to take up pour pt certs for it too.

i will post more details on our up coming business as soon as its done.

hope u guys can show support by recommending ur friends or family members or colleagues to this program . thanks!
