Ic... No wonder I have no muscular legs even I used cycling machine for months.
Hi, came across your blog through a link you left on a comment on Practice CrossFit's website. I see you're in Singapore -- do you CrossFit there? I'm from Singapore but currently studying in the US. Good luck with your training!
hyperX:
indeed!
Feng:
nope, no chance to Crossfit here, its not as big as in the US. But would love to be part of a crossfit in SG if there was any.
do you get to cross fit where you're at?
