2008

We had our annual stayover at my new house last night, doubled as a countdown for 2008. It's an annual thing cause the homies had stayed over at least once every year when I move house, from Serangoon to Potong Pasir to Boon Lay and back to Serangoon again. Wonder where I will be next year. It hadn't been a great start for the 5 of us though, we tried winning a Konami Cup in PES2008 at Top Player difficulty and after it's all said and done, the win-loss record was 2-13 or 14 or more. We kept losing and losing and losing and losing until I also dulan.

Spent the night losing in PES2008 and Sensual Seduction by Snoop Dogg has officially became the most overplayed song on the last day of 2007 and first day of 2008 in my house. "I'm gonna take my time~" fking bullshit can't believe David spread this virus so deep that all of us are singing while eating at the prata shop.

All in all it's a typical homie thon with lots of dissing (each other and many others), junk food, PS2 and snoring and lan hong. Just the way I like it, no fronting.

Started the 3-6-9 routine today, couldn't complete 9 reps of Military Press. Haha pussy 8 reps was all I could eke out. Couldn't complete the last rep of Bench Press too, luckily I managed to put the weights on the lower rest, if not I won't be sitting here now. Today is the easy one, it's Thursday and more probably Saturday that I fear, but it's still quite a good day.

I think my taste in music is severely affected by the crappy music they're playing in CF Raffles. First it was the Potential Breakup Song by Aly and AJ it's a fking bimbo pussy song, and now I'm hooked onto this quite old song by Pink - Who Knew now, enjoy the lyrics:

You took my hand, you showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Ah huh, that's right
I took your words and I believed
In everything you said to me
Yeah huh that's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Coz they're all wrong
I know better
Coz you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no, no no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you a friend
I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
'Fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
But they knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again (Meet again)(Until we)
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Coz they're all wrong and
That last kiss I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes it harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darlin' who knew
My darlin' my darlin'
Who knew
My darlin' I miss you
My darlin'
Who knew
Who knew

Full-body workout

After much deliberation and advice from the mods from CIA, I have finally changed my workout routine to a full-body workout comprising of only compound exercises. Shit man, I really think that I've wasted so much time and I should've used this routine so long ago. I was afraid of doing all the big lifts and I thought that my legs are usually sore for up to 3-4 days so it's impossible I can work them 4 times a week. Turns out that I'm wrong, the more you work it the less sore it becomes.

After trying out for a week, I think it's really stupid to do body part split without a solid foundation so I'm gonna stick to this routine for another 6 months or touchwood, until my next injury lol. So this is how a typical workout look like:

5 mins inclined-walk warmup
6 x 5 chin-ups supersetted with
3 x 8 of Squat 135lbs
and
3 x 8 of Deadlift 95lbs

3 x 8 Barbell Row 95lbs
3 x 8 Bench Press 115lbs
3 x 8 Military Press 65lbs
10 mins HIIT

Trying to squeeze 10mins HIIT into each session but I'm damn lazy... gonna do on at least 2 of the 4 days starting next week. Sometimes, less is really more.

There's this gay thing I was surfing the CIA forums and they had this website which shows a general guideline on how much you should be lifting for your weight class to determine your level. For e.g. intermediate, advanced blahblah. And I checked my weights against the table and I realised I'm not even anywhere near Untrained! I was so depressed until I found out that I..... did not add the weight of the olympic barbell. Which in any case at least puts me nearer to Untrained. Lol. Well Novice is 3-9 months and I'm just a week into this compound training and I'm not that far off... I think...

I've been eating alot on workout days I think. I don't know if it's correct or healthy but it sure isn't healthy on my wallet. The usual high protein mid carb low fat... protein = meat and meat = $$$. And I have no idea what my current diet is gonna do to my body fat especially since I stopped running as intensively now.

Anyway, if I do ever come close to being where I wanna be then nothing will be more redempted. I shall carry on labouring away for the time being. Gonna increase by 5lbs next week for all. Updates again next week!
