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....
