Terry Fox Run 2012

Yesterday I had the opportunity to run in the annual Terry Fox Run again. It was my first last year and I had tons of fun. This time around, I'm joined once again by my beloved family members. My 2 sisters are the usual suspects then there's my sister in law with my nephew, Imran who's just over 1 year old!!! Then there also Fadh and his sister. There are 2 categories: Family route of 3km and Advance route of 5km. I'm happy that I managed to complete the 5km route in just slightly over 30 minutes. I believe I could have completed it under 30 minutes but some part of the route was too narrow as there were cars parked on both sides of the road and most of the runners had to squeeze themselves to get through it. Once the road was clear, I started my run. Here are some of the photos we took yesterday. 

Lil Imran was super excited for the run too!!! But he fell asleep on his mum's shoulders with just minutes to complete his first ever run. Isn't that cute folks? I'd like to thank DaDa for the gifts from Talisman and also Petronas for the Nasi Lemak. And no, I didn't eat the Nasi Lemak. It was just for the photos. Haha!!! Anyway, I'm looking forward to next year's run too!!! Enjoy the holiday people. 

My Workout

Okay, so I've shown you all how my chest routines at the gym. Today, I'm gonna share with you all my bicep/tricep and forearm routines. Personally, I like to mix things up. I like to challenge myself and not get stuck to the same routine cause 1) You'll get bored 2) Your muscle will get use to it and it won't grow. So my suggestion to you all is to mix things up. I'm sure most guys would love to have big arms. Let's focus on the bicep/tricep routines first. 

Here are some of the forearm routines you can try folks. Remember, mix it up. After completing these routines, when you head home, I suggest you dip yourselves in an ice bath for a maximum of 12 minutes to let your sore muscles heal. Your body is good to go for the next day after the dip. Tried it myself and it works! 

My Workout

I've been hitting the gym consistently again this year after an on and off period last year. I realized there are a number of familiar faces and some new ones too. But one thing remain the same. At the free weights area, there are a bunch of guys trying to show off their body to attract the ladies. Well, that's up to them whether to really workout or just to get some ladies but you gotta see their legs. These bunch of guys are too busy working out their upper body and they neglect their legs. This is the biggest mistake one can make when building up their body. Oh, since they neglect the leg routine, I'm pretty sure they don't run too. Cause if you run, you'd automatically build your legs too aside from your stamina. That's a fact folks. 

Okay, enough about them lads. I wanna share with you all my workout plan. Today, my focus will be the chest. Here are some of my routines:

 1) Barbell Flat Bench Press

2) Incline Barbell Bench Press

3) Incline Dumbbell Flys

4) Cable Crossover

5) Incline Push Up

6) Pec Dec

For those of you who wants to build a huge body, my suggestion is go for reps first, then proceed to add on more weights onto your barbell or dumbbell. Go big or go home. Remember that! But for those who aren't looking to build a massive body, then I'd suggest to focus more on the reps. 

Once done with your workout, I suggest you dip yourselves into a tub of ice or cold water for a maximum of 12 minutes. This will help your muscle/body to heal and be ready for the next day.  On another note, please be aware of any muscle aches too, cause if you neglect it and keep pushing hard, you may injure yourself. Til next time folks!
