Bulk Day Two: NAYSAYERS

Wow, I didn't expect to jinx myself when I said today was gonna be tough. I don't mean physically, but it was a tough gym session mentally, a tough pill to swallow. I was judged on my poor form and looked down upon on my capabilities. I won't forget the comments. I won't forget the smirk look. In any scenario, I would be beaten down and discouraged. But no, my character through army has evolved into something bigger. So I will not allow myself to be disheartened because they think I'm a scrawny little guy or because of my poor form. THANK YOU, because all of you idiots are just FUEL, fuel for me to improve. Please, PLEASE, P-L-E-A-S-E insult me and laugh at me more because everything you do, I will train harder, I will bust my ass more in order to overtake you. Thanks! But seriously, today's...

Bulk Day One: RESTART

Ok, so I'm 90% recovered from my flu and cough, which was horrible for the past five days. An update, I've been constantly Gyming for the past month three times a week and I think I'm learning a lot of new things. The key point to highlight is that I'm doing compound lifts now, (deadlift, squats) instead of being a curlbro. I know that will help in my mass gains. Feels like I've been enlightened on the actual workings of how to body build. The past few years that I've been going to gym were all either useless or not very effective, because I wasn't hitting correctly and I didn't have the ''gym psychology". But it's ok, now I know, and with so many peers around me doing the same thing, I am ready to maintain and overtake them. There's only one month left before school starts. I've hoped, or...

PLAB series: 15 Day Fast Bulk

Now's the time. The second intense part of this long transformation. Ok, so we started with the 10 day challenge, which was quite successful, if not we won't we here blogging part 2 now. The 10 days was a good start to discipline me and get me back into the game, so to speak. Ok enough time wasting, let's detail some stuff down. Current weight 70 kg. start around 67+ I believe, so I've made good progress. Even though I may seem fatter now but cutting the fat should be no prob for me. The important thing is to build mass. Ok so from tml until 15 days later the diet and training will be as strict as possible, even if I have to work. Food control and especially protein intake must be followed and monitored closely. Some new stuff I will try, like fish. Many old tried and proven stuff...

Proj LabMONSTER Day 10

Finally 10 days has passed since I started this 'challenge'. Did my physique change? Not really. Maybe a tiny bit, nothing significant. But the important thing is to continue doing it. That's why the title is not Proj LabMONSTER=THE END. Everyday's gonna be Proj LabMONSTER for the foreseeable future now. Quite laid back today, didn't really exercise at all (save for a few pushups/pull ups). Omg my no. of pull ups now is so pathetic it's really demoralizing. Scrambled for frozen chicken breasts today, and i guess I'm lucky. At first I went to check online to see if there are any wholesale shops selling cheap poultry. Stumbled across this MMMM!...

Proj LabMONSTER day 9

One more day left. Even if I hadn't any significant changes I have learnt a lot more about bodybuilding... No need to care about the haters...haters gonna hate, but I'll show them... Today's gym work was fierce! Me and my spotter really pushed ourselves to the limit.. Did mainly chest and arms today. It was very productive and certainly the toughest of all the gym sessions I've went to in the past 9 days. Kudos to my spotter man, always training hard and keeping positive! Finally got to eat my steak today @ bukit timah hawker centre. Delicious. Might have just increased my craving for it tough. Can't get enough of meat!! I've ran out of chicken again. Have to scramble again to find cheap, frozen chicken breasts. Do I really have to go to the wet market to have a look...? Diet today (quite...

Proj LabMONSTER day EIGHT.

Two more days..to the end of 10 days challenge, and book in day =S. LOL but it'll be my last week of being a dumb NSF YEA =D No gym today. But read about nutrition alot. I figured I'm really not taking enough food that's why progress is slow. For my weight I need 2300 kcal to maintain and 2744 to build muscle. That's really hard to hit. Hard because to eat clean and hit this number. If not everyone would be looking ripped. That's the toughest and most crucial part of have a good physique - nutrition. Like 40% training 60% nutrition. Still can't hit even 2700 clean today...it's really quite hard for me now. Ever since my weight loss I believe...

Proj LabMONSTER DAY SEVEN

Wow...r u serious, it's day seven already?? 7 days already passed? Felt like only 4. I tired to wake up at 6am again but as usual, the sleepiness is unbearable. But I did get my ass up around 7 though, which is way better than last time. I remembered COURAGE WOLF "I AM TOO TIRED TODAY IS WHAT A FAGGOT WOULD SAY". Change of venue today, went to JE clubfitt instead. Reached around 0815 and surprisingly I was the first few! Well later then I realised opening hours for thur was 0830. Wow imagine if I had gone at 7am I would have been waiting like n00b. So took the opportunity and went straight for the barbell bench press. However my body and mind...

Proj LabMONSTER day 6!

It's that time to blog again..! I admit, blogging definitely helps me focus on my objective and makes me feel I've progressed (somewhat). So it's day 6! (hands kinda trembling and uncoordinated due to bicep work minutes ago..) Ok, first and foremost my diet is pretty good today. And I hit 180+g protein which is fabulous. Managed to eat 6-7 meals today(portions) of high protein, low fat. I guess I didn't have to worry about not being able to finish the chicken breast I bought yesterday; I already chomped down 400/800g (two breasts). And I've come to the realisation that in Singapore being a bodybuilder is a tough road. Namely because of our...

Proj LabMONSTER day 5..

Every day it gets tougher. But finally, we are halfway there. 5/10 days. Today I think I finally faced some roadblocks. And today I felt the cravings. Like for example walking pass fairprice and seeing the milk tea @ only $2.25 for 2. I was damn tempted to just hoot. But we have to stay on the objective, even if just for these 10 days. So I had to suck thumb and ignore all the cravings. Although I had to get a cup of iced root beer (shiok) to keep my body in check if not once my cravings spill over, I will binge (yes I will) and bam, yo-yo effect, simple. Tried my self made barbells today. Did some 'bench presses' and bicep work. I must say...

Proj LabMONSTER day 4

Argh progress is really slow...!! Or is there even any? Day 4...in the past I would have given up by now. No way..not this time So yea, had to drag my sleepy ass to gym early in the morning. Set alarm at 6am but was so sleepy so didn't reach the gym until around 9 plus. Just focused on chest today, nothing more, nothing less. Tomorrow will be bicep/chest/legs day. At home, with my custom made "barbell". (Basically tek koh+heavy bags) Anyway, we are 4/10 days already..I have to keep it up. Weight: 69kg Today's diet. breakfast- 1 can tuna=25g pre/post workout-30g whey+milk=35g lunch-chicken rice+meat=30g **Add meat from that stall was pathetically...

Jay Chou Exclamation Mark! Album Review

Shortly after my Proj Lab 3rd day post I decided to post THIS. After seeing the ludicrous reviews from a few websites I needed to post this to satisfy my own ego. lol. First and foremost comparing 療傷燒肉粽 to 聽媽媽的話 r u serious bro? What a joke?! Both songs are not even similar! Wow. Am I hearing the same songs?? Generally I thought this album was plain average. Some great songs but a lot more pointless ones that overshadow them. And some parts of the great songs could have been instant classics had MR JAY put in more effort. Comparing the previous few albums, this is slightly better than 跨時代 worse than 我很忙. 1) 驚嘆號 How do I even start. Yea it's the typical No.1 slot song of his "movie-turn" albums...see 跨時代/龍戰騎士. Usually a softrock type of intro song, fast paced. Let's be fair and compare them...

Proj LabMONSTER Day 3

The progress is slow and the training is tough but I just have to press on and not give up like before... Spent most of the day outside (Istana gathering) so not much was done. My body definitely felt like resting at home. I guess I was so tired I even fell asleep during the movie! Twice. Nah. It's not me. The movie's too boring anyway. Shoulders still hurting. And felt the burning sensation in my thighs and quads while I was on my way home. Two hours sitting in a movie theatre WILL contract your muscles and trust me, it hurts afterwards. Diet is ok, another standard day. Except I cheated a bit with the Pokka cloudy apple drink. Bluffed myself that I was drinking it out of thirst and necessity, when actually in the first place I should've brought my own waterbottle, if I was commited enough....

Proj. LabMONSTER(in progress) Day 2

Ok, we are done with the second day of our training. The diet has been quite strict, with heavy emphasis on protein. I've tried my best to make sure I really get the protein this time. Well I said yesterday the breakfast for family day might screw with my plans, but luckily it was only 1x sausage mcmuffin. I still hated the idea of consuming fast food especially Macs during my training days but it's ok, one sausage mcmuffin is nothing. Result of yesterday's training? Whole back was aching. Which is strange! It should be my arms and chest but it was my back instead. This simply means I used too much of my back for the workouts. Got to get much much stronger man... Today's workout: I wanted to concentrate on compound, full body workouts today, or at least that was what I hoped for. I'm still...

Project LabMONSTER (Revisited Nov 2011)

Since my last duty, I somehow had a newfound surge of energy and motivation to start training again. Well, my running 'career' is on hiatus right now, except for the one big event which is SCSM 2011. My last run was well over two weeks ago, where I ended abruptly and painfully at only 7K. It is totally unwise to run at all much less a FULL marathon but I've already signed up. Anyway I will obviously do a walk-run strategy and worst come to worst I'll just walk till the finish line... So back to my training. Yea, "Project LabMONSTER" is brought back from the grave once again and this time, I may actually succeed. Finally? To make it short and sweet -- I'm on a short term plan to achieve the improbable: make some changes in 10 days. Yes it's a 10 day challenge to a more muscular physique....

Last Month as NSF

My long awaited post is here.. So it's finally end of October. I thought it'd be a tough month, and yes I was right. Seemed to pass quite slowly but I was so occupied that I didn't really feel that way. The most significant event was of course, Pre-ORD training/MP refresher course. I have to say, our batch's one is probably the easiest compared to the past few trainings. +1, Stay out +2, no live firing +3 good progression in training schedule +4 quite un-regimental However, we did have probably the toughest 8K route march. IMO this 8K route march is tougher than normal and comparable to 16K RM in BMT. No joke. It is mainly due to the fact that we've not done outfield and route march since Apr last year so we were very much unconditioned. Being in Istana platoon and having a eat/sleep/stand...

Back from hiatus, again

So two months has passed again..And a lot of things happened. But luckily non of them are bad. Istana life has generally been good so far. I'm glad I don't have to post about punishments, screw ups...etc. Finally, I can look forward to ORD. How long has it been man? I feel like a prisoner, finally getting out after one year 10 months. A hell of a journey it has been. Right now, 5/10/11. Only 58 days left. Less than two months. This one year 10 months has sucked my soul right out of me and spit it out so many times. Torturous. I will ORD a broken man, but I will do just that. ORD. Then it's time to start anew. Time for me. MY time. Anyway, just wanna update my ITB injury.Basically,Left leg healedRight leg ITB flared up Not seeing physio for right legStretching by myselfCan do 10k before pain...

Pokemon White: Hatching Shiny Snivy

This is BORING.I have to record down my hunt for shiny Pokemon. So for the past week or so I've been hunting for shiny pokemon and I'm very impatient. I can't understand how those lucky guys get their shinies only after like 20 eggs (using MM). Is it my luck? Am I that unlucky. No. I'm not unlucky, basically I have NO LUCK. ZERO. What with me being so dark and negative and having so much issue of course I'd expect me to have no luck. Those lucky idiots are people like teenage girls who have an easy life or those dumb idiots who lead normal happy lifes etc etc. But if I have no luck imma have to force it out. The hard way.

Running the Singapore River

Horrible news. My RIGHT leg has struck ITBS. Yea. I should have guessed huh? Just when you thought life was gonna be good, you hit a wall and things go back to square one. What to do? But thankfully I've learnt by past experience how to treat ITB so I'm pretty confident my right leg will heal in time. Just keep stretching, rest, and ...I think the root of the problem is my SHOE. See, I'm still using the same shoe (Adi Supernova) now. Which is the exact same shoe I've been using since I started running. Obviously, cushion shoes DO NOT fit me at all. It's definitely the shoes man. These heavy ass supernovas, though comfortable as hell, is just pulling me downhill so it's time to throw them to the rack and get some new shoes. Two options -- Vibram Fivefingers or Newton. Yes, I said I would be...

A Sick and Twisted Mind

Oh my god. I suddenly remembered, i have to blog this down. I had a freakish nightmare yesterday night. First and foremost, I've had tons of sick and impossible nightmares before. But I think this really tops the rest. Even thinking of it now makes me sick to the stomach. The Heart. Suddenly, I woke up in a pitch black room. I knew something was wrong with me but not quite sure what. Then I started walking...and walking...and walking... All of a sudden, I felt something move inside me! It was my heart! It seemed...weird, like it was not stable, like it was detached! Then for some reason, I bent down and HOLY CRAP my heart fell out from a HOLE...

Lab IS Running!

OK, just finished a 12K filled with obstacles. I've done it, I've finally broken the 10K barrier after my injury. I am more than pleased to say that there is ZERO pain from my ITB, which is just incredible. My legs felt better than expected after the 12K, however I did struggle for the last 1K because I decided to endure dehydration until I reached the end. It's a stupid move, but it was a calculated move to save money. I can endure through, anyway. Wow, just 2 months ago I was still battling the ITB but right now my form is coming back. I've learnt to control my gait and keep the ITB from flaring up. Right now...I just wish for a pair of Newtons so that I can complete the transition to "Natural Running".On the run itself; hmm not so good. Me being a "Road Idiot" (in Chinese) managed to miss...

Breakthrough!

Finally, finally FINALLY, I've done my first 10K since my ITB injury!It was tough as hell, but I managed to push through the mental barrier. I may not be in form now, but slowly and surely I'm reaching there. The conclusion from this is run very positive. No nagging pain, my ITB did not flare up (thanks to my forefoot strike and IT strap) and I'm slowly building up the mileage. Right now all that can stop me now is the limitations due to my ITB problem but I'm confident if I do the right things, I can manage it well.It was a very enjoyable run too. I changed the route to Chinese Gardens/Jurong Lake/Japanese Gardens and it paid off. Loads of scenery, plenty of runners -- it was 100% moral boost man. And listening to radio helps too. It feels damn good to be running again, for real. July looms...

Joining in the commotion

Aw man I spent $110 today on Pokemon White and StanChart FM. And I'm gonna spent $70 more for the nintendo DS later. Planned to queue for the $800 goodie bag yesterday night (first 100 registrants only) but oh my gosh are Singaporeans Kiasu. Originally I had intended to reach around 10pm but word had it that the queue already met 100 by 7pm!! Crazy man. And news reported that the first person in line started queuing at 11am yesterday WHAT the hell! I totally had no chance. So instead I wanted to try for the $400 voucher (101-1000th registrant) but guess what, I woke up too late. In the end I gave up. But I am helluva relived to know that the actual contents of the goodie bag sucked. It is really something to LOL and right smack a tight slap in the face of those who queued up overnight and...

Monotonous June

You can see how busy I am.Right now the schedule is ridiculous! 4 days stay in 1 day break has become the norm. STAY IN. Because of SAF day and duties oh my god. Life has become so robotic and predictable. I feel so damn stupid now. Right now, I really feel the burn of 2 years serving NS. All I'm doing is rotting away, that's the truth. No lessons, no school, no social life, NOTHING. Just 'MPIA', SAF DAY, Standing Istana duty, EAT, SLEEP, watch videos. I feel worse than a caveman. The world is evolving, while we are retarding. Say you love it. But on the positive side, it's already 2/3 of the month and after SAF day this bleak period is gonna end. Then at least we can be back to normal and put the emphasis on MY stuff, like running, preparing for uni, wisdom tooth, etc. MY life. Anyway, right...

Pain Pain PAIN!

What the hell is going on?!Just...what the hell?!Supposedly my left foot healed miraculously after two days, but suddenly when I woke up yesterday morning my RIGHT foot started to hurt like hell! It was a sharp kind of pain, quite persistent. I did not know how the hell it got injured?! Did I bang onto something during my sleep? Or someone ankle lock me?? Or maybe even some spirit purposely wanna play prank on me? My bunk sucks! I already got bad experiences in the damn bunk! Then I went to stand Istana duty anyway. Two shift! Needless to say it worsen the pain x1000 and by the time I returned to camp the pain was so intolerable I couldn't walk! I was in a very low point yesterday. But worst of all I did not know what caused the pain! So I skipped rehearsal today and went to see MO. The pain...

The Violent Game

Soccer is known as the beautiful game. Only if you are playing in Brazil. When you play soccer in somewhere like the cage @ kallang with army guys, well, it turns out to be violent. Real violent. And I found on the painful way, 15 minutes into the game today when Mr Melvin rammed his flying shin (?) against my foot. Resulting in a bump on my foot right now which is damn irritating and painful of course. But the big picture is...Damn...My road back to running is stopped in its tracks again. I probably can't run for the next few days. I don't even know if I can walk properly tomorrow when I wake up! Worst of all I have duty tomorrow and Monday and if i can't march, I'm screwed. It is just a bump but these tend to last for days. Well, I had prayed not to get injured but I had chosen to play,...

Full Battle Order

Damn, I wanted to go FBO today for CPFA (with my running gear) but just like always, when I'm prepared for something, the outcome is not what I expect. Because it rained. And so my chance to do 9K was cancelled. So it was pretty much a wasted afternoon. Went scrambling for afternoon off, then left camp as soon as I could. However with my spare time at home I managed to squeeze in a short 7K run in the evening. Actually I just came back. Well, so far so good, I can more or less do 7-9K without any problems of ITBS at jogging pace. I cannot confirm if I am good also at race pace, and I must say, I'm really scared to go a race pace. Somehow I am satisfied just to be running already, and right now I really don't want to push my limit and injure my leg again. I am still doing this midfoot/forefoot...

Reaching full throttle

I am certainly looking forward to joining races again. Now that I've gotten my ITB strap, I feel somewhat empowered to run again. Today's trip to velocity was definitely helpful because I managed to find the Cho-Pat ITB strap ($19.90) @ Running Lab. It wasn't the one I was looking for but this looked quite reputable also and anyway these straps all function the same so I just got it without hesitation. So now the engine's on all the way, unless my ITB acts up, which is a scenario I don't want to entertain or even think of ANYMORE. Because I know, if I do my stretches, and I run with correct form, and I wear my ITB strap, my runs will (hopefully)...

Twist, you lame Gook

First of all, a totally unexpected piece of good news. In a long time. I don't need to do MPIA for tomorrow YEA.Seems like staff wanted to use duty personnel instead, don't know why, but I don't care cos' now the situation totally changes. From having to leave 2pm tomorrow, to 8 hours free...OMG perfect. 8 whole hours -- I can do some many things. I DID run today, with little motivation or aim, and clocked 7K. Of course I said I was going to do 10K but come to think of it, my calves were still hurting so I'd rather take it slow and steady instead of committing the same mistakes again. All for the long run...So a bit on the running itself; it seems forefoot strike really is the better way to run. Oh, I forgot to mention, my ITB did not act up today and I believe it may really be due to a better...

The freaking A-bomb.

Wow yesterday was such a tough day. I was dropped the A-bomb and had to do EXTRA work and eat into my book out time, WAT THE HELL RAGE LEH!! It's so taxing that I immediately slept when I reached home this afternoon.Anyway, I'm gonna focus on my running now. 10K, WCP, tomorrow morning - do it. Also I have to get the pattstrap somehow, I don't know where it's sold but I might head to velocity to check. Also it's time to save up for a pair of Newtons. I'm gonna totally revamp my running technique, so I need fresh new gear to go along.Rage leh.Another another A-bomb -- MPIA for Shangri la dialogue on Saturday. I'm sad. I'm just a sad song, with nothing to say...So I only have tml whole day to rest. NOT ENOUGH. Sat MPIA..Sunday duty...Tue rehearsal...LikeaDO...

A trail of sweat

Well, good and bad news. I managed to complete 8.4k today non-stop. Good news is I could go the distance, bad news is the pressure was still there and the pain was threatening to flare up as the distance increased. As if every kilometre the pressure was going up a notch until a certain point where it would just explode. I don't know, this might be normal. I am slowly recovering I hope. From the start where I could only do 2K. Now at least I'm doing 8K. But I am sure running really slowly. I also tried adapting to forefoot running. It is tough the change my running style as I have to focus and keep reminding myself to land forefoot but I think it's better than heel strike. My calf muscles are killing my now but it's normal since I've never ran this way before. Really hope I can do 42K end of...

In a dreamy, sleepy land

Well, I went for the Sundown Marathon after all. Did not participate, but went there as a supporter for my friends but more importantly, the watch the champions league final. Which Man Utd lost. Don't really want to recap on it, they got owned by the best team in the world now. Anyway to say that experiencing the whole Sundown marathon fiesta really got me fired up again is an understatement. I actually felt uncomfortable and out of place being their as a mere supporter and not running. Great man, I have the motivation to run again. So it's running for me, after all. But how do I overcome this freaking ITB problem? I guess for starters I am going to totally change my way of running and embrace this 'Newton Running' orforefoot strike. The explanation for forefoot strike is sensible, and I really...

Peaceful Times...

It is indeed peaceful times for me. Yes the past few months have been extremely hectic, but at least I am not signing extra or doing SOL. Those days were draining. I've said before, the honeymoon days are over. It was over since March or Apr. I knew it was over when I could no longer chain offs. Either cos' of parades, lack of manpower, functions, events, duties, platoon meetings, induction, rehearsals, AHM training etc etc. And now the Istana is going through a complete overhaul with the new system, and the specs being doubly anal with us, life's can only get tougher, I forsee. I am ok with this, as long as they don't bother me too much, they don't mark me, they don't arrow me. Tough schedule -- okay, but I am sick of punishments and redundant meetings and discipline talks etc.Going to see...

Recovery

It is sad, but I just discovered an effective ITB stretch an hour ago. This is after months of suffering and going through useless rehab. I think the physio don't really think my condition is serious. He is just massaging and doing 'uv scanning' which I think is useless. And the stretch he taught was pretty useless, to be honest. Hell, in the first place he didn't even tell me my diagnosis. When I told him I suspected ITBS he acknowledged but didn't confirm it. I think that's quite unprofessional and I feel that he thinks that I may be 'chao keng' or that my problem was minor.Going to public hospitals or physiotherapy for running injuries is useless. The only way is to find private clinics, certified orthopedics etc.So tomorrow is hopefully my last physio session before I can stop going since...

What Once Was.

Today marks the 5th day of "Ops LabMONSTER". Training is going on slowly as I have duties the past few days. I've tried to squeeze in some time to lift weights but I guess if I really want REAL results then I better start finding time to hit the gym. Fking hell my internet connection got cancelled and now I'm just surviving on portable modem which is pathetic. Oh man...Hopefully we can get some runs and gym sessions by the end of the week since I'm quite free already, expect Friday duty. I don't know if my ITBS has completely healed, I don't think so. But I'm not going to be controlled by it anymore. The next run is going to be 10K and if it hurts so fking be it cos' I'm going to run until my leg breaks. I'm sick of this hibernating lifestyle. I'm entering a world of hurt. No, I'm already...

Because I'm serving my country...

Day 2 of Ops LabMONSTER. Did not take any whey today, cos' the tub was in camp and timing was very inconvenient. But I did eat quite a lot I think, from the feast during the cabinet swearing in at Istana. Sucks to book in on a Saturday afternoon. Especially when you go out and see people, people my age dressing nicely and going out to have fun. Instead, I am carrying my uniform and heading to camp. Why? Cos' I have to do MPIA for the cabinet swearing in today. Have to serve my country. Today's MPIA experience was quite positive. Initially I feared that there'll be screw ups esp with new guys doing, but they did ok. I'm just glad me myself did not screw up and I'm quietly proud of the fact that I have gotten over the nervousness when I first started doing MPIA. Cos' I'm a lao jiao son...Anyway...

The First Day

Ok blog I have started taking the whey powder today. Total of 3 scoops mix with water. Taste like crap. It was too sweet and medicine like... Somehow I don't think I'll see any difference after one month but I'll just have to wait and see. At least I have not waste time and started already. So Day 1 is over.I have tried to lift weights but Detail 3 totally screwed up my schedule, so I just did a substandard session. Better than nothing, right? The thought of having to drink this crap for next month and possibly further is sickening, but if it yields results then I'm ok with it. Of course, I may turn fat but that's just the risk. Anyway it's not like I'm not lifting weights so I think I'll get my desired outcome. We will see....

Ops LabMONSTER

There are many times I blogged that I'm going to start bulking up, but every time I try, there are no results. Not that I didn't try, but it's impossible if I don't take supplement.So this time, I am fed up enough to just give it a go. I've gotten half a tube of whey isolate and I'm gonna start using. And if results don't show after one month of this training and eating, then I am really a failure in bodybuilding. Show I take pics? Hm, it would be the most effective way, but I am kind of sick of taking pics. Unless there's really changes. Hopefully after this period my chin up will increase and of course the ultimate aim is to become bigger. I think I will start with 30 days for the transformation. One month is damn short for significant changes but if I train hard and take the whey consistently,...
