Brisbane to Gold Coast YEAAAA!!!!!

Hey guys! NOT TO WORRY! IM STILL IN THE GAME?!?!

nothing has changed much, routine has pretty much stayed the same;

gyming 1 day on and 1 day off

but yea to start, two weeks ago, the cycling crew dragged me along on a double 'riverloop' which is pretty much 2 loops around the brisbane river instead of 1 as practice for the brisbane to goldcoast cycle!

it was pretty tiring and my legs felt like they were going to break but instead, my bike did!

in the last 7-ish km's before i would hit a personal record of 100kms\

 (like longest cycle i've ever done, it still was)

i just noticed that my bike was going to give up on me?!?!

^ you can see that i only have 1 bolt out of the five bolts left on the crank...

it could've ended really badly if that 1 last bolt came out because it would've dissassembled and i most likely would've just flopped around and get pretty badly hurt!

SO yea. had to get the bike fixed and im glad that happened because if it didnt, it would've happened to me on the b2gc ride and well that could've ended a lot worse. 

and yea.. BRISBANE TO GOLD COAST CYCLE!!!!

it was my first time ever to do a massive group ride and a ride of that distance! 

it was an amazing ride (a lot of flats) but in the end, my legs were absolutely destroyed!

and here are some pics from the ride, before and after!

btw, i've got a pretty funny and embarrassing story...

in the last 3kms of the cycle, my left hamstring gave way and it started to cramp up.. BADLY. 

at the last set of lights (before the path to the finish line) i had to clip off my cleats cause traffic halted.. with my left leg hurting badly, that was the last leg i wanted to straighten out so i clipped off on my right..but you guessed it.. MY RIGHT LEG CRAMPS UP TOO!??! and i fell over. 

almost a perfect ride except for that one incident! :C 

other than that, it was an awesome ride and im keen on doing it next year!

anyways, back to gyming progress... nothing much has changed like i said..

i kinda ate too much on sunday and monday cause i just had the mentality of, nah dont worry, i can't go over my calories cause im so calorie deficient of the ride and.... well i think i did but hey, cheat days are cheat days and you gotta feed your body after such a ride! but its back to good clean eating and what not. 

but seriously though, how can you not eat that^

INDIAN FOOD IS THE BOMB!

ty sehrish and hbd to you and karthik G as well! (belated now :D)

^but that is pretty much every days brekkie 

and its only 550 calories too! 

okay maybe thats a lot but i gym after so meh. 

but yea, ive been on a rollercoaster diet... but ive been mainly keeping to it.

i can't remember what my last recorded weight was on the blog but im now 88kg which is a pretty big milestone for me! 12kg lost and i've still got plenty more to go! hoping to reach 80 before i go on holidays but i doubt i will. either way, im HAPPY!?!? :D

and yea... 

few weeks back, hit a deadlift pr.

yes i do understand that using the machine is not the actual weight but hey, im still proud.. despite the shit as form! haha. its a lot better from where i started 3 months back. my max back then was only 2 plates each side and now its four. so i guess its okay? 

but what happened to my triceps?!?!? THEY"RE SO SMALL NOW. 

i guess its not just fat im losing on my cut, its muscle too :C 

oh well, at least im kinda maintaining it. 

and yes guys its got a filter.. SO ADD ME ON INSTAGRAM!

i've just joined the selfie league so add me : willehhdoodoo

i also got new shoes in this past month and im loving them! 

they're the shoes im wearing in the DL video! 

and yea.. so i've started to be not as lazy and walk to the gym as well! 

and run. kinda? not as much cause my ankles been hurtin but i guess ill get into it soon!

and yea.. selfie walking to the gym^ 

wooo finally getting a chest line! :D

anyways, wont be blogging regularly cause of exams coming up soon but every now and then so pop in every fortnight? haha. and good luck with your gyming adventures too guys!

till next time, 

eat big get big!

Cutting UP!

Hey guys, its been a while since i've been blogging! 

As usual, i've still been gyming! Not giving up that easy!

For starters, last week on sunday, did the weekly cycle and attempted front cootha.. to my surprise, it wasnt as bad as back cootha and was definitely much quicker! But even then, the ride down was bloody amazing and super fun!

 I'm actually in love with cycling cause i just enjoy the scenery that you get to see and i push myself to the limits! Also, its like the only thing other than squats that actually works my legs! (my calves anyway) 

and this photo is just a progress photo.. i love my phone, it somehow takes the best photos and makes me look cut as! except for im not but thats what im working towards! 

and yea this is us at the gym . 

and yea, i've been investing and so has my sister and yea..

THIS IS WHAT IM GONNA USE TO ASSIST ME TO MAKE IT TO ZYZZ LIKE. YE YE.

Just because i wasn't blogging, it didnt mean that i had given up!

It's just been a pretty hectic few weeks with school because of block exams and all but they're all done now! And until Final Exams, it's just gonna be gyming and studying all day errday! 

So..... I guess its time to get back on track!

I've haven't been gyming much on weekdays and thats what im keen on getting  back into!

I've been keeping up with cycling though!

Sunday Cycle

Just a quick post cause i'm steel feeling super tired despite my sleep from 2-7.. LOL. that 5 hour nap :DDD it was well needed though :/. 

so yea. as always, i went for a cycle and this time it was 66km's doing the riverloop! - something cause last time it was 75. o-o.

despite that, i still took the same time cause i was cramping up on the way home after a break at the "Garage" < its a little cafe where all the cyclists go to hang out and grab a coffee at southbank!

afterwards, fuck me, i was so hungry and my sister was shouting <ily> ; so i just pigged out! FUARK YEA IT WAS SO GOOD. 

i had whats known in viet as "Banh Canh" and its like really thick rice noodles with pork in a pork/msg/tastesgood broth! hells yea!

and well since i was being fat, i had another bowl of food;

"Bun Thit Nuong" which basically translates to Vermecelli noodles with Bbqed meat. in this case it was beef! YUM YUM!

but yea..  didnt have the broth from the previous dish cause that shit is salty and salty means you retain water mass! 

so i didnt eat all the noodles either;;; to much carbohydrates! 

and yea.. for dinner had some of mum's weird chicken meatball butter chicken? iunno.. only a little bit though cause i wasnt that hungry and i'd been snacking before i fell asleep haha! 

but yes, right now im so fucken bloated cause i've had so much shit to eat! 

anyways, tomorrows the start of a new and better week! 

-WillDoeisout. 

200 reps of Gainz

 So basically, training chest again with declan like always and well, i got inspired by a vid i watched on youtube which was CT fletcher making some guy benching weight for 200 reps..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuShGEMGQm4

^^ WATCH THAT!

anyways, we attempted the same thing but instead of going down and back up like a parabola in weight, we just started at our max and kept on dropping weight whilst aiming for the minimum of 10 reps and aiming for 20 reps afterwards. 

 HOLY FUCK! the amount of pain you feel is fucken insane.. just after the 40th rep.. 

your chest is fully blazed and fuark... IT HURTS LIKE CRAY. 

but you just gotta drop weight and push it out!

AND FUARK, IT WAS THE BEST PUMP EVER! 

i started with an A cup then nek minute, DDDDDD CUPPP. no seriously, i could've worn a bra if i really wanted to. LOL. NO HOMO

 and on request for declan, everyone, mire his massive gains and pump. 

starting left ; just started; middle 100th rep and right 200th rep. 

attempted to do some more chest afterwards like flyes and shit to set it in.. but..

we were way too fuarked to do it and my chest was just jlkafjaldskjwsdoilkfnsa mode. 

so instead, we just decided that we were finished with chest and decided to make our triceps grow!

LOOOK, I THINK IM MAKING GAINS :D

so yea, we did tricep rope pull downs..

 and tricep bar extensions..

5 sets of both for 20 reps. 

also did skull crushers afterwards with close grip bench for more tricep destruction!

8 skull crushers x 12 close grip for 3 sets. THAT SHIT WAS PAINFUL..

so not only does my chest hurt but so do my arms.. AND I GOTTA CYCLE IN 6 HOURS. FUCK ME.

GONNA FEEL SO MUCH FKEN PAIN QQ!!

and for dinner, finished up with a turkey sub! ..

yea okay lets just say not everything i've been eating has been so healthy but its still in my calorie limit and well, im losing weight so meh; can indulge myself once every in a while.!

subway, EAT FRESH. MMMHMMMMM!!!

First time Mt Cootha!!!

Hey guys! 

So if you've been reading my blog then you'd know that i usually cycle on sundays, unless im either sick, being super lazy (cause its cold outside) or if i've just slept in cause. well. thats me! :D

But there was the Brisbane Marathon today..So the bicentennial bike way was shut off and so..what route do i take?!~?!?! 

well, my cousins smacked me in and 2 other guys in the face with the Cootha Challenge

AND GUESS WHAT. 

after a grueling 30 minutes, i made it up the flipping mountain!!!

it's probably one of my biggest milestones and well, now, i can't bitch out on any hills anymore cause Mt Cootha was a constant 9% incline up to the top and it was pretty crazy!

Just check out my ride on strava (its like the fb of fitness and gps tracks my ride!)

http://app.strava.com/activities/72040851

or just look here if you're too lazy!

i still kinda think that 1535 calories was a miscalculation considering that my cousin who rode with me is 85kgs and lost 1700. come on man, i'm 95 and it took me half an hour for like the middle stretch only! so i swear, it must've been at least 2000 calories! :P

^ so yea, me and my cuz photobombing :C 

so please, dont tell me that i didn't make it up Mt Cootha and say "pics or it didn't happen"...

CAUSE FUARKKKKK IT WAS INTENSE MANG.

(oh and btw, thats that the Mt Cootha Look Out so not exactly the peak; the peak is at the channel 7/10/9 one of those channels; broadcasting station!)

and well, cause everything was blocked off, we didn't attempt a full riverloop afterwards (what my cousins and mates do) so had a good half an hour break and grabbed a mocha and a muffin! 

(must say though, worst service ever!)

oh and check out the view!!! 

Although it was a bitch of ride, i guess the scenery was worth it? 

not really but gotta be optimistic!

and holy shit, riding down was so fun!! i maxed out at 70ks an hour going down that shit! was shitting my pants so hard thinking that i'd crash!

got home and dad bought me a pork gravy roll.. 

i didnt really give a shit what i was gonna eat cause:

1. I WAS FUCKEN HUNGRY.

2. I was pretty calorie deficient so it didnt really matter :/

oh and i had another pork roll afterwards without the gravy though; 

just viet meatloaf with chillies, carrot, bit of butter and a bit of jap mayo

IT WAS AMAAAAAZZIINNGGG

oh and dad ended up taking me to the bike store so i'm getting reconfigured to my bike;

list of changes happening (upgrades):

-shortening the bike stem; i was leaning too far forward so i had major back problems

-getting bike shoes and bike cleets

(instead of using one foot at a time per push per rotation, use 2; therefore being more effective)

-grabbing another bike pouch so i can put personal belongings in that

anyways, for dinner, had the same as last night; gotta be good and eat it without rice!!

(FUCK IT WAS SO SALTY)

oh and treated myself and drank the Sakuraya my sister got me :D

was considering not drinking it because of all the sugar but; IDC; I LOST ENOUGH CALORIES TODAY ANYWAY.

but yea.. that was my day and it was a pretty intense ride!

feeling so proud of myself atm! but not at the same time ;/

anyways;

-WillDoeiout.

Switchin up routine!

Hey guys, been slacking off on the blog recently cause of a few personal things thats been happening but its all good haha! i haven't really been keeping track in the last three days but i know that i didn't cap my 2200 max calorie limit.. i think, well i hope so anyway haha

anyways, this morning, got good old pork gravy rolls again x 2 :DDD cause im a fat ass and i eat more than everyone HAHAHA

had tuition till about 12 and then hit the gym with decoes at 3;30 ish

did some OP cardio on the cross trainers.. that 10 minutes was OP; lost 139 calories.

#cardioisnotmystrongpointbutimustdoittocut

CAUSE LIKE; WHAT IS THIS CARDIO THAT YOU SPEAK OF?!?!

Anyways, did 6 sets of incline; 

22.5 x 15 reps

25 x 10 reps

27.5 x 10 reps

30 x 8 reps

32.5kg x 6 reps

35kg x 3reps 

^ NEW PERSONAL BEST YEA!

was going to do 4 sets of incline and cable flyes like our last chest workout but then some massive samoan dude who was like big;

I SWEAR WHEN I SAY BIG.

I MEAN.

SWOLESWOLESWOLE^909090902184092180/10

nah okay maybe not that big but he was still pree big. 

anyways, we did what he told us to do and fuaarrrkkk..

 THE MUSCLE PAIN BETTER HAVE BEEN WORTH THE PAIN. 

so we did;

3 sets of:

12 reps flat bench flyes

10 bench dips with body weight

10 bench dips with body weight + 10kg plate

10 bench dips with body weight

and all of that was one set and it had to be repeated 3 times no break..fuck it was pretty crazy and well you know my weight.. FUUU; pretty intense workout!

after that we did 5 sets of alternating supine bench and seated flyes on the machine

last exercise we did was some tricep push downs on the machine  for about 5 sets i think!

all in all, it was a pretty intense workout! 

and well heres some progress photos haha.. not much has changed yet but i feel a lot better and less sluggish!  oh and look at the photo on the right! THE CHEST IS COMING OUT WOOOOO

and for dinner; got a little bit of chicken curry with potatoes, carrot and onion

only had a small bowl cause i gotta cycle tomorrow morning so dont mind the carbs!

gotta have the energy to go far!
