Neon's Workout Log

Current Status
Age : 22
Height : 5'9"
Weight: 77 kg
BF : 19.3 % (I highly doubt this is accurate)
Waist: 32

Goals
10-15% of Body Fat
Tone up and increasing strength (results of rapid lost weight, which I regretted )
Improves joints mobility

Supplements
Lipo6 (pre-workout only)
On 100% Whey Gold Standards
Universal Animal Flex (advised by physiotherapist)

Previously, I've embarked myself on losing bodyfat due to health problem. Weighted around 122 kg with body fat as high as 37% (if not mistaken), high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high uric acid. Started gym and been doing some circuit training. Too much cardio - but i do weight as well - caused rapid weight lost. As much as my blood test is optimistic but rather I am facing some other bad outcome of my training, joints mobility problem and loose skin. I've lost fairly large amount of lean muscles as well.

On recent updates, I've started some training with my physiotherapist (1 or 2 times per week) and taking Universal Animal Flex and On 100% Whey Gold Standards. Noticed an increase of strength and improvement on the joints itself. The weight i am using is rather light as I've expressed my concern on whether my form is right in the other thread.

Will post up my workout tomorrow - leg day.

Cheers

I think I am doing the barbell row wrongly simply because I think I lean my shoulder forward. Also unsure of what I should bent my body and keeping it straight.

The wide grip supinated pull down is stressing more on my forearm than my back, is that okay?

Need some advice on this guys

Overtrained and possible busted rotator cuff.

Neon_86 — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 00:09:20 +0800

I've begun embarking into fat loss due to an advice from a doctor. Was having high blood pressure and possible diabetes (with lots of other health problem). I weighted 124kg back then. That was on February.

So, I've joined a gym and hired a personal trainer. He adviced me to do circuit training and I've been using it ever since. Up until now I've lost a total of 42kg without realizing it! I thought I was doing something right. I've going to gym on regular basis. Trained for at least over an hour.

At some point, when I was doing shoulder press I heard clicking sound and I couldn't bench press or do push ups as I'd want. I consulted both trainer and doctor, but nothing much was said.

I was passing this small-hardcore-gym near where I live, I'd thought I ask about the membership and stuff. I told him everything I've experienced and he immediately said that I've overtrained my body and possible busted my rotator cuff.

I'm rather worried now. No idea what to do with it either. Any pointers please?

I know there's lots of saying that I shouldn't loose so much at one time, but damage has been done. Would appreciate if anyone can help with the current issue.

Neon's Fat Burning Thread

Neon_86 — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 00:15:53 +0800

Hi guys

Firstly, I've decided to lose weight based upon doc's advice.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/431748/+420

I've joined gym(Menara Axis, FF) for almost more than a month now.

Previously my status is (when i did check-up with doc);
Age: 22
Height: 178 cm
Weight: 122 kg
BMI: 39.7-Obese

Current Weight;(Done during Free PT session)
Weight: 111 kg
BMR: 2008 Kcal
Fat %: 28.5%
Fat Mass: 31.6 kg

Diet: (So far)
Morning:
Fiber Bread + Tuna in water/olive oil/sunflower Oil

Afternoon:
Quarter of a full bowl of rice+vegetables+tofu

Snack (sometimes only):
1-2 slice of fiber bread

Night:
Soup+Vegetables+tad bit of meat
or
Organic Wholewheat Spaghetti with Organic Tomato Sauce
or
Fiber bread with Ham

Snack after dinner:
Apple/Banana/Honey Dew/ Watermelon

Exercise:
Cardio
Treadmill
Cardio Wave machine (seldom)
Cycling
Swimming (occasionally)
Synchro machine

Long Term Goal:
1) 75kg on my body weight
2) Build muscle (Lean and Toned body)

Current Goal:
1) Lose to 99kg

To start off, I want to address my concern the lost of 11kg in weight over just a month.
Doc said that the first 6 kg is probably just water weight. Another 5kg is probably fat.
The diet that i am having now is rather drastic from what i ate last time.

On the other hand, exercise... So far I have been doing lots of cardio.
Treadmill-20 minutes (9.0 for Gradient and 5.0 for speed)
Synchro Machine-30 minutes (6-7 for Gradient)
Cycling- 10-15 minutes (5 for Gradient)

Until recently I only started weight training. With the free PT training i learned a few.
Obviously, I'm still kinda blur la and shy also
But mainly the weight is focusing on tummy, and leg more.
A little on chest, shoulder, and etc.
The PT asked me to do 3 set with 15 reps.
But often i find it rather hard to push for the third set, even if the weight is rather light only.
Basically, I am a noob. Did almost everything wrong.
Help needed! Realised that I am doing all the weight in the wrong way/posture!

On Nutrition, I am getting bored with my routine. And I've slowly gained back my appetite.
I would really need some help on what I should eat and not. Help me out guys!
Also, I try to stay away from things with too high cholesterol and nuts/beans.
As I am having rather high uric acid and cholesterol.

Also, some friend introduced me a guy that sells Nutrilite. He was persuading me into buying
the product-Meal replacement. I can't because it is wwwwwwwwwwwwayyyyyyyy out of my budget.

Help/Advice would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Fatty Liver

Neon_86 — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 01:37:03 +0800

My doctor diagnosed with the condition of fatty liver. So I've been cutting down all my food intake and exercise regularly as what my doctor said.

But yesterday, I met with this guy that is nutritionist cum promoter of Amway(Nutrilite)-I think. He planned a program of 3 months on taking supplements to lower down my cholesterol. But it costs like RM 600+ or RM 484 per month for the whole package including the meal replacement thing. (As I am obese too)

So I did my research on fatty liver. There's lots of article that stated unsure how fatty liver can be reversed. All they say is just diet and exercise. I just wanna know the real fact of this.

Help me out guys and gals.
