311008- Met up with victor,karen and keat at alvin neo's 22nd. Caught up with some people whom i have not seen for awhile there and then left for home after that when keat decided to go for halloween at phuture. Have yet to get my Captains of crush (COC #2 gripper) from vic though... o yea.. coc grippers are great for training for crushing grip if you have not heard of them. Check them out @ ironmind.com It will turn your weak hands into strong vices. Though i've not touched them for quite a long while due to my injuries, my hands have always been pretty strong i suppose. coc no.2 is officially closed pretty damn easily after i got them. = )

Saturday...a sad event here. my younger cousin passed away. Though we weren't close... it saddens me to see his grieving family when i went for the cremation. After which i did pretty much the usual for a weekend.. went to cathay to hang out with gerald and jh over dota.

Sunday- Did some jumps at home today as my routine called for it.. and check out disturb's new album. -Indestructible. If you like disturb or rock.. this would be good to you. Cant wait to get to the base meso cycle of the new routine. Its gonna be tough.. and tough is good = ) Definitely not for the faint of heart.

Here's something to rant about ...as you've probably realised... 99% of the people in the gym you go to probably dont know what they're doing. Trainers included. Why do they still go to the gym to take up the precious space where its meant for people who's actually serious about this? The sight of someone doing say... bicep curls in the power cage never fails to irritate me. If you arent serious about training in the first place why waste your time in the gym in the first place? You're wasting time and money here... what are you trying to achieve? dont come telling me that you are there to check girls out or just to "tone". For that there is NO such thing as "toning." Thats only possible when you diet and lose bodyfat to be leaner and carry less bodyfat! Big big big misconception of all time for almost all people. They tell you they're there to tone tone tone.. bah bullshit.. they dont know what they're talking about. If you wanna go tone go use a pink dumbbell or a water bottle and curl it for a thousand times. Sure you'll feel the burn.. but will that benefit you in any way? NOPE.. you guessed right. So even if you're of the fairer sex and reading this...i'd suggest you do heavier weights and stick to a rep range of 8-12 less if you want with a heavier weight. and NO you wont become bulky like those women you see who look like men on the magazines.. They are on steroids... You cant be like that naturually. You will only and definitely look more sexy, more toned, leaner, stronger. Of course your diet must be pretty decent. Good luck with the weights and ditch the pink dumbbells if you didnt bother reading whatever that is on top... progress to the blue dumbbells yea?
