So what is going on?

After settling down, it has already been the 5th week in Rocky. Food is pretty good.( well the only think besides studies and training, that has a certain degree of essentials would be food )

I’m getting back to the basic 5×5 which I never was on in my entire life.

So I’d be benching 5 x 5 , squatting 5 x 5 , and deadlifting 5 x 5

Why the  fuck for?

Simple, Peter has been helping me out in training. I learnt alot of good stuff from this man. I usually don’t take advice that simple, but when it comes to Peter, this guy knows his shit. Coached Odell Manuel and during the recent Nationals, Odell pulled 350.5kg @ 125kg . A whopping ass amount I’d say. more info @ www.powerliftingaustralia.com

So what have been training? Well today was Squats. Basically its a 3 day workout, Squats, Bench, Deadlifts

Here was how today’s training went.

Squats
110×5
120×5
130×5
135×5
137.5×4 + ( + means I managed to get down, but unable to get up on the 5th rep.)

Stiff Legged Deadlift ( This has to go up really soon )
60×8
90×8
100×8

Finished things up with leg presses, lat pulldowns, cable rows and some ab work.

What have I been chugging down ?

Well, college has pretty good food. I just don’t know why people here are complaining. I bet they want Mcdonalds and shit. I get food like roast chicken, lamb, beef. Suffice to say, stuff that i’d never buy on a daily basis because its too fucking expensive in Malaysia.

Oh yes, out of topic…I just ordered my lifting straps, some chalk. I’ve been on creatine a while too. Just finished loading.

See ya.

Campus Life. Finally getting settled

Finally I’m starting to settle down a little bit in Rockhampton. Pretty laid back place in Australia.

The first week, the college reps took us up Mt. Archer. Decent views up there though. I managed to get a few shots up there. Alot of trees , a compliment to the nice breezy weather. I’d definitely take more photos of my campus. Heck,, when I open my window, I’d see a kangaroo rather than a human.

Decent Platforms ( notice the very minimal plates )

Bench

The gym was also decent. Better than Fitness First I must say. However, the only downside is I don’t think the have enough plates. I’m assuming the very best that they are keeping the plates because no one utilizes them. Keeping em crossed, thats all I could do for now. They are bumper plates though. Good ones. Good barbells, with 2 platforms, 2 squat racks, 1 competition grade bench ( I know I don’t bench XD )

Class starts on Monday. This semester I’m taking up 3 subjects, Psychology, Anatomy and Evaluation of Human, Health and Performance.

I’d definitely post some notes up the blog, short articles as well based on whatever I’ve learnt for your reading pleasure.
