Every man's duty

I'll be away for a week, off to serve the nation and do my duty to protect my country.
The annual In-Camp Training(ICT), a low-key this time round and my very first reservist training.

I've also decided to take this week off gym for my body to rest, especially for my central nervous system. I really felt the strain this past week, couldn't lift as much or as heavy as I did 4-5weeks ago and I could feel some muscles on the verge of cramping.

I'll take this time to cycle off my supplements as well.
Hopefully I'll come back the week after and make more gains!
I'm also planning to change my routine to Chest/Back, Legs, Arms/Shoulders split routine.

After 4-6weeks my next planned routined would be the German Volume Training I did some time last year.


Anyway I'm really sorry for the delay with the "I'm Back(part2)" post. It'll be up when I get back from my ICT.

Till the next post!

What it all means to me

What does working out mean to me? It is a lifestyle. A lifestyle of fitness and health. One platform to exercise discipline, a part of life where you learn to dedicate time and effort into improving yourself. Working out for that confidence in myself.



Why do I work out?

• Physique and aesthetics - To build that lean and fit physique, with my focus on aesthetics over size, symmetry over mass. Of course I would like to gain more muscle mass and I am working towards that, slowly but surely. I have done it once before, putting on 10kg over one year of training but I felt that I did it with more body fat gained than muscle mass. So this time after losing about 6kg and all that body fat, I am going to try to gain muscle mass while getting leaner at the same time.

• It's all about me, I against myself - Being the better version, the best version you can be. It isn't about being better than someone else, yes it can be a secondary achievement but ultimately it's about building yourself. There'll always be someone better than you, be it overall, in size or in a certain body part but ultimately I work out to be that much more ripped/lean Jerome as compared to the one yesterday, better than that Jerome before the gym session.

When people ask me why do I gym so much or so often. I always tell them that I want to achieve the best physique I can while I still can. While I'm still young, fit and in my prime.

Till the next post!
