6 Weeks Out From Mr Kuala Lumpur 2012!

So, 40 days left to the day I have shitloads of burgers, pasta and as much ice cream as I want go up against the best bodybuilders in Kuala Lumpur. Question is, am I on track to placing well against them?

Well, my progress during the eighth week out was slowed down by too many outings with friends but since seven weeks out, dieting and training is full speed ahead! I’ve never felt so motivated to train before. Now, most of my workouts are early in the day because as soon as I wake up, I’m just raring to hit the gym and lift some heavy ass weights!

Rivalry Between Sports

So I saw several of my friends posting this up with angry comments cause they feel insulted by this highly biased infograph.

Now, this post isn’t about explaining scientifically how untrue the statements about bodybuilders in this infograph are.  I think that most of you could figure that to build muscle, you need to give your body what it needs and not deprive it. And although strength isn’t the main goal, most bodybuilders are definitely stronger than most people.

The Singapore Flyer Singapore Sling Flight

The Singapore Flyer has just launched a new service for those who want an awesome, unforgettable and romantic experience! If a normal ride on one of the biggest and classiest observation wheel in the world isn’t exciting and memorable enough, then try this package!

It is called the Singapore Sling Flight package. Guests will enjoy a ride on the Singapore Flyer in a special ultra-classy club-like VIP cabin called the Champagne Capsule by Moët and Chandon (only two out of 28 capsules). In addition to that, guests will be served with a glass of freshly mixed Singapore Sling, Singapore’s national all-time classic cocktail on the flyer itself! That plus the BOSE speaker in the cabin playing the latest club hits (or you can plug in your own music player if you prefer Justin Bieber or erm… The Bee Gees) will make your experience awesome beyond level 9000!!!

Biological Value: Importance of Protein Quality

Apart from always counting and ensuring we consume enough protein daily, ranging anywhere from 1-2g of protein per pound of body weight (or approx 2.2-4.5g per kilo), it is also crucial to ensure that such quantity comes with quality.

After all, we only want the best for our bodies right?

Preventing Burnout and Muscle Damage in Bodybuilders

As a nutrition coach, it always amazes me how much time athletes and bodybuilders focus on working out, performance, and performance-based nutrition yet often ignore the science of nutrition and muscle damage or muscle repair.

Every bodybuilder knows that the basic process of building stronger muscles involves breaking down muscle fibers so that they can rebuild and regrow even bigger and stronger. Yet when you look at 99% of bodybuilding supplements or nutrition tips for athletes, it’s almost always about performance.

I’m sure you’ve seen all the flashy ads about saying things like, “Take this creatine and GET RIPPED!” or “Drink this protein shake and watch your muscles BULGE!” and many of you have probably even looked into things like anabolic steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU BUILD A STRONG BODY LONG-TERM!

The very process of muscle growth should give you a hint about the role of nutrition in increasing muscle strength and performance. Think about it – your body literally has to tear muscle fibers in order to make them grow. Thus, the entire process of muscle growth is actually a process of muscle repair! It’s not really growth at all (in the sense of normal growth, such as when a child grows from 4’10 to 5’1).
