Workout Of The Day - 29th November 2009




We did soccer at Balestier today. Nice artificial grass but we wore the wrong type of shoes - having us slipping here and there. Good crowd too, lots of sprints, turning, starting & stoppings.


And feasted on beef at Seoul Garden for lunch. This feels really great!

Casting The Barbell Down

Met a cool friend yesterday. Had a Thick Burger at Carl's Junior. Had a good, long rest (despite 2 phone calls in the morning from work - the perils of working in a 24/7 company - but its just 2 so nothing to complain about)

Today's Sunday - heading for a great match of soccer later, followed by dinner - maybe buffet!




That's why I'm casting down the barbell today. Its a sunday! Time to play and live strong!

Workout Of The Day - 19th November 2009

Eggs - its nothing bad as you might have thought (or have been taught)

How many times have you been told to throw away the egg yolk because its bad for you? These people obviously have had smoke bombs thrown up their ass for too long by the people in white jackets holding clip boards. There have been no research or proof that consuming more than 2 egg yolks a day is directly related to increasing ones risk of heart disease. I will even go 1 step further by telling all you CrossFitters that you should take the yolks because the cholesterol found in the yolk contains huge quantities of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and essential fatty acids that are not only good for health but also crucial for everyday life.

Rest Day - 16th November 2009




Today's my rest day. I totally slowed down at work today after around 3pm. Felt just totally 'wasted' if that's a right word to use.

Food is a fuel, a nutritional exercise. Modern day has escalated food to be a celebration. Celebrations are fine but not when overly done - after all, our bodies weren't made for that kinda food, as well as the level of inactivity.

Workout Of Day - 15th November 2009

Had a wedding lunch with the colleagues - truly nice Indian cuisine!




Headed home with a slight headache after the session due to dehydration - the very one time I forgo bringing along water and I get this compression in my temples. Seems like I can't do without my hydration for too long.




WOD:
  • 6 laps of swim sprints
  • Lay back and soak the sun

I really need to get back to the beach soon!

Rest Day - 11th November 2009

Today's a rest day. I love my rest days as much as my workout days.




I just love the colors of my dinner. Are you fueling your body right? Or are you just messing it up with junk food because you think that 'as long as I work out, I can eat junk'?

Workout Of The Day - 10th November 2009

Taking it light today so that I can do a more decent workout tomorrow - probably another pullup regime on the way home from work tomorrow night!

WOD

  • 60 pushups!
Don't miss out the full range of motion (ROM) - especially the very basic moves like the pushup and squats. Seems like everyone thinks they are doing it right while in actual fact they've been doing it wrong for years. So, do you think you've been doing them right?

Workout Of The Day - 4th November 2009

Felt like shit when I woke in the morning as I've been overworked. Felt great again later in the night as I was leaving the company. Felt better knowing I'll be spending some little yet precious time with myself & my barbell & my 9 year old bunny.

Wanted to go heavy, but the moment I hoisted the barbell, I could tell I'm tired from the inside.

WOD

  • 10 barbell thrusters
  • 25 pushups
  • 10 deadlifts
  • 25 pushups
 Pretty toned down workout but I sure feel tonnes better after that and a cold shower.



June 19, 2007. 12:18 a.m. Arriving at Fort Benning just after midnight, the new recruits line up in formation outside Johnston Hall as drill sergeant Jackie Etienne briefs them on all they have yet to do that night.

Workout Of The Day - 3rd November 2009

Yesterday was a rest day, was really just too tired out by everything - work, workouts, etc.

Today I felt better, did a quick pull up session before I headed home from work.

WOD

  • Do 40 pullups
 More assignments for me at work! That means longer hours at work! Am so glad I've no shitty girlfriends like my friends have at the moment hahaha! (mean)

OTC is sore from his workout on Sunday - looking forward to another session this Sunday. A bigger turn up is expected! And possibly going to kayak too!

Workout Of The Day - 1st November 2009

Had the intro to intervals with OTC today at Clementi stadium - its alot better than the NUS stadium - notably, because the steps are higher which means the box jumps are really killer! Its twice the height (which invariably implies that the NUS ones are really much shorter)

Today's session was scaled down as OTC experienced the pukies - too much KFC in the morning! But it was a good session. Its definitely alot more fun to be sprinting with a guy - more competitive, more fast pace!

WOD

  • 100m sprint
  • 20 air squats
  • 20m standing broad jumps
  • 4x20m shuttle sprints
  • 15 pullups
  • 15 parallel bar dips
  • 20 box jumps
 And it was off to Botak Jones for lunch - we had the Alaskan Pollock!
