PushMore's open day
I never thought of going there again so soon since I had a trial back early this year. So I tried my luck wondering if I could register for the open day despite the previous recent trial. They welcomed me =D. I saw the post for WOD for the open day. Skippingz... :O I can still recall the 5 minute skips... I puked...lots...of...air.
As advised by the blog - do arrive 15 mins earlier. Actually I did, until I wandered around the place wondering if those parking spots were actually reserved on a Saturday. I was really tempted to park nearby since the visitor's parking area is kinda far behind. I got tired of thinking, and just parked at the right place. As I walked to the gym, I saw many other cars parking nearby the gym. Damn... what the heck, lazy to care aite!
Arrived there, but the open day class has not started yet. Keep reading at the starting strength posters. Those are really good summary of squats and power cleans from the book...should have just take some pics!
I can't recall correctly the order of workouts, did not log it.
First was skipping (oh here it goes...). I did not skip for a long time, ever since my first trial. Heh, as usual, I jumped too high.. as though I'm trying to touch the ceiling with the ropes lol. So much as I was trying to skip, the background music was lady gaga's bad romance... reminded me of how I would train for the skips with some plates. I would occupy my hands with weights, and jump with that music... since its 4:56 (close to 5 mins for album version, not radio edit). After skipping, it was some partner effort of legs swinging...(no idea whats the exact name for it). Next: body squats and figure 8's.
Hehe, here comes my fav: Kettlebells. Trying/Practicing them before the WOD. Nice, got to learn another new workout. I got the green kettlebell, did not bother to check how heavy it was, but from what I feel, its 45lbs? or 20kg perhaps? Ok maybe I was crapping. 25lbs perhaps... I really had no idea. I had trouble with the technique. Off and on I might be right, but I might screw it up too. And since eyes were supposed to be glued to the kettlebells, I didn't really do that. It seemed so distracting to follow the kettlebell that I would somehow round my back.
After the warm ups, comes the WOD. A team effort. One does 10 KB swings while the other skips until he/she is done with the KB - 1 round. In 12 mins, do as many rounds possible. My teammate and I managed to do 2 together. I had to continue the rest as she is feeling nausea. Oh well, bring it on!!! I needed the intensity anyway. So for my case, it was 10 KB swings and 10 skips. As I did the KB swings, I realize I was doing it wrongly... since I get some ache on my lower back lol. Its never a good sign getting that (duck walk applicable once the limit reaches). Skipping wise, its good, suddenly I don't jump as high as I thought anymore...what gives? fatigue from the KB swings? I kinda lost track of how many rounds I did. Was too into it. Liked the intensity, but I hoped I could have done more rounds, sadly if it wasn't for last nights workout, I'd had crank more out.
Overall, another good experience. Since now I have a tiny bit on kettlebell swings, would eager to try out...with weight plates perhaps? But I know its gonna be different due to the shape. Would come back and trash my body when I'm done in May!!! Thank you for the nice workout guys!

Notes:
- while i was doing power cleans...suddenly an uncle came and look at the weight i'm using... then i had to delay that 1 rep =__=
- as the weights, W increase slowly, the mental torture, MT is increasing...not linearly, perhaps exponentially.... must keep mental torture to the minimum..
eg:
W <>< MT^eBt where t is time and B is anxiety
Hence, in order to reduce MT, B must be logically reduced as well, hence this leads to t as the only variable to be increased.
In other words, take enough time with moderate anxiety and MT, to increase W steadily...woo...

A Song For Malaysians
Focus & Lift couldn't sit still and let all the commotion pass through, silently. While reading Malaysia Today recently, I can't help but to tell myself how naive I have been. I never bothered anything about politics. But as more negative headlines of Malaysia reaching the international bay, I couldn't keep quiet anymore.
I'm an irresponsible citizen. I did not practice my rights and duty as to register to vote and vote. I thought Malaysia would slowly heal and times would improve, but in fact the opposite is happening and I deeply regret as to I being one of the cause to this result. I'm going to register myself to vote, and hell yes I'm voting for PR. Thank you RPK for giving a hard kick on my face to wake me up. I can't stand the crap that our government is slowly eating up our money for the development of this country. Look at Singapore? Enough said indeed.
As to the song, its basically an old song by Robbie Williams named "No Regrets". Below is basically the altered lyrics for Malaysians!
Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not enstranged
I didn't lose my mind it was
Mine to give away
Couldn't stay to watch me cry
You didn't have the time
So I softly slip away...
No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
Sing me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine
I know from the outside
We looked good for each other
Felt things were going wrong
When you guys took over
I don't want to hate but that's
All you've left me with
A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of
How we all could live
No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
(We've been told you all are corrupted)
I know they're still talking
(You're far too "short" to lead this country)
The demons in your head
(Return the money that you've all taken)
If I could just stop hating you
(Goodbye)
I'd feel sorry for all of us instead
Remember the photographs (insane)
The ones where we all laugh (so lame)
We were having the time of our lives
Well thank you it was a real blast
No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
Write me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine
Everything I wanted to be every
Time I walked away
Everytime you all propose a new project
I just felt so broke
Every time you looked at us and
Everytime you smiled
I felt so offended as you treat us like fools
I loved the way Malaysia used to be
I loved the way we used to smile
Often we mix around and think of our future
For a while
Then it passes by me and I think of
The current government holding Malaysia hostage
I guess the trust we once had is
Officially dead!

- While I was doing my power cleans, saw someone else doing it too... never seen that dude do power cleans before until I started doing it recently. Did I just influenced him to crank up the power cleans? lol... but seriously, power cleans is so fun to play with...
- When I was doing presses on the squat rack (yes I was lazy to transfer to the other rack which is more lousy), someone was using that lousy rack to squat. He squatted but the bar kept hitting on the stupid unadjustable squat rack. I offered him my workplace and we switched places because I'm doing press and I don't need any low side supporters. My point is,

My point is,
ppl should offer their equipment that they are using if they know their workout could be done elsewhere when someone else needs the equipment more than youObviously I understand how he felt when I used it for presses lol.

A day at PushMore Fitness Centre
Unprepared, unknown to me was the workout by PushMore for new comers/those who decided to go for a free trial. I saw their WOD on their blog for the day, it seems alright to me: Kettlebells and walking lunges. Though, I was surprised by their newbie's WOD... and the unexpected has landed right on me when I was there.
Similar to circuit training but I feel it was more taxing lol. Oh yes I'm obviously lack of endurance. I admit it. Heck I only do stepping machine for cardio for at most 30 minutes. I know I can't expect much when it comes to workout that test my endurance.
Their warmup is rather simple but intensive. Why? Take a look:
5 minutes rope skipping (just once)
The 10's:
10 body squats
10 sit ups
10 figure eights
10 push ups
10 jumping pullups
That was just 1 round for the 10's. Did 3 rounds of 10's in total...*Pant like nuts*
I'd say all the panting was contributed by the first 5 minutes of rope skipping. I've never done rope skipping for years... so 5 minutes of continuous skipping was really crazy... I keep breaking in between. I swear my lungs were coming out after that.
The 10's were ok, figure eights was relatively new to me, so I had trouble doing that too :x
Now.. comes the real workout. The workouts were easy in general, but its timed. In 10 minutes, I'm suppose to do as many rounds as the following:
5 inverted row using rings
10 push ups
15 body squats
Was able to do 6 rounds of that including the extra of 5 inverted row rings and 4 pushups. Initially she asked if I could do pullups. Then it hit my mind, I better not say yes since only recently I'm able to do them ROFL, hence the modification to inverted row rings.
How did I feel? SO FREAKING TIRED. Was sweating like a pig.
When the workout ended, I just sat there for 10-15 minutes drinking water, 2 bottles of water to be precise. Heck if Pey (the friendly PushMore staff who trained me for the day) didn't advice me to drink less water, I'd easily take 4 bottles in total lol. Yesh I'm a shui tong.
I have to say the way they train is totally different from what you see in commercial gyms. Commercial gyms are relatively low intensity as people just do their machines/dumbbells/barbells with their own pace. I'm referring to those without any personal trainers. You will then see obsessed gym goers working out the same bicep curl and triceps for bigger arms and keep staring at the mirror wondering did their biceps grow an inch =__=""
I guess I've finally found the kind of fitness center I've been looking for. Crossfit it is! I like the rush of blood to my brain while intensely going through the workout.
Theres just one problem, my gym membership is still on for about another year. My hands are really itchy to visit PushMore again. In fact, I'm looking forward to attend their foundation classes as I would be exposed to the correct lifting techniques. Perhaps after attending I could practice them well in my current gym for the meantime until I join PushMore for good.
Now I need to pin out which month I can fully commit to their starter package. Perhaps mid february, after CNY.

Theres just one problem, my gym membership is still on for about another year. My hands are really itchy to visit PushMore again. In fact, I'm looking forward to attend their foundation classes as I would be exposed to the correct lifting techniques. Perhaps after attending I could practice them well in my current gym for the meantime until I join PushMore for good.
Now I need to pin out which month I can fully commit to their starter package. Perhaps mid february, after CNY.

This day, day 2 is regarded as the easy day in the program... of course except deadlifts...which will keep increasing with time lol.
Of course with the addition of power cleans, this would spice up the workout on every day 2 of the week, hehe. The only problem I still face is my shitty power cleans form technique... if it continues this way, I'm afraid I will not progress any further, must fix it!
