THIS BLOG IS DYING

Yup, anyway just using this as a beta version, in time will probably produce better more focused ones.

The hols are here, just some updates on how life is going
- got internship with SIA, dont have to go to office for first 2-3 weeks...good, cos its damn far
-started working out more intuitively, paying less attention to HIT and more to volume training. Finally everything Shengxing was talking about clicked. More on this later
- got a tan at Tat's place, Ok, no more "white chicken"
-successfully moved back home
-still figuring what to do for pageant

So basically when i graduate these are the things I would like to see
- second uppers
-Lee Soo Ann award
- Dean's List at least once
-2 internships at big names (MICA and SIA-1 govt, 1 GLC MNC), hope to add 1 agency before commencement
-Mr C Block
-2 culture groups
-1 IBG sport (IHG is not feasible)


Anyway abt the gym
- something abt Charles Glass make things so clear, i cant explain it, but Joe Weider's instinctive principle of training finally makes sense.
-Shengxing said something abt the difference between knowledge (what i have) and what he calls 'tricks', (meaning the small details like angles and planes)
- Figured out some things
1) The feel of the movement is more important than its execution. You dont have to perform everything textbook style, you must feel it in the right muscle at the correct angle
2) You dont need full stretch for everything (especially pecs and tris)...joint safety matters
3) Volume training works better in creating that pump

So here's the plan (for now)
- Gradual increase in gains rather than loading-ripping periodization. Cant afford to get fat 3 months from a show, so gotta stop late night bingeing for "loading".
- Do the 6 small meals a day thing
- Bump up protein consumption to 3 times a day (consider double scooping)
-Take burner like Universal's Super Cut 3
- Continue taking large amounts of water
- Add more fiber to meals to form bulk and replace starchy carbs
- Make my own celltech with glucolin, Tang and creatine
- Need a multivit too

Training wise
- Shoulders with arms
--> just doing presses works my tris a great deal, they're all warmed up and ready to go
- Chest and back
--> balances out the front with some tension from the posterior chain
- Legs and heavy abs
--> no need for serious squats, just extension and curls for the cutting, size wise im pretty happy. Calf presses for the upper calves, dont want elephant legs, i want diamonds


Week 1

Abs
Reverse crunches 3X15
Bent Knee crunches (no rest in between)
- feet vertical 15
-knees at 90 degress 15
- feet on ground 15
Seated twists X 70

Shoulders
Seated lateral raise- 15-12-10-8-drop sets
Standing rows with barbell- 15-12-10-8
Smith machine presses 15-12-10-8-rest pause for 3
Reverse flyes on cable crossover
Rotator cuff exercise

Triceps
Skullcrushers 15-12-10-8 with close grip presses (long head and overall mass), emphasize the negative
Tricep rope pushdowns (outer head)
Dumbbell kickbacks (inner head and the groove)

Biceps
Close grip preacher curls (for outer thickness)
One arm cable curls (for peak contraction)
Reverse curls
Standing dumbbell curls run-the-rack

Yup, thats workout one, hope to finish it within an hour if i keep strictly to 30 sec rest periods
