Having done Filthy Fifty before on Dec 1 2008 (time of 48:50), I knew it was gonna take me aaaaaages to complete it. Being the pussy that I am, I did half reps instead of full :p Even then, it took me longer than expected. Felt like fainting during the wall balls, after every 5 reps I just had to take a break as my legs started to feel like jello. Come burpees I was swearing like a bitch and the workout was wrapped with my most favourite (NOTTT!) workout of all – tuck jumps. You just gotta love them.

Here I am ‘enjoying’ the wall ball with my stupid fringe sticking up from all the excitement.
Here I am thinking to myself “KNNCCB&#@MCH*$^!!!”

100 sit ups for time
Result: 4:06
Used dumbells to anchor my legs for the workout. After 40th rep, my upper thighs cramped up for awhile o.0 Must’ve been thanks to the bloody Filthy Fifty -__-”

Sleeping Pattern – Jan 09

Fitness

Not exactly a fitness post but it’ll affect my overall workout performance.

Sleeping pattern getting from erratic to absurd ever since I got back to KL. First couple of days was like before, sleeping for 3 – 5 hours each day.

But the past two days have been crazy as I’ve only slept 2 hours in the past 24 hours. Approximately 3 cups of coffeee – with the final one having 3 espresso shots and lasting me from yesterday’s lunchtime to today (current time 2:30am). Phwoar! Value for money eh? ;p

Didn’t workout today as I was rushing a batch of pics for my client. My wrists now feels a bit funny, I hope I don’t get CTS from all this editing work 0.o

Target to have normal sleeping hours by mid February.

Over and out.

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of “rotate”, the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep.
Results: 165 reps


Dreaded wall balls! For a look at how it’s meant to be done, checkout this video from Crossfit.

My legs ‘died-ed’ thanks to wallball. Yes, from the start I was already swearing like a bitch about how torturous the workout was. By the second round, you could tell I was totally pooped out as I had stopped swearing altogether -_________-” They should’ve called it ‘CNY Gone Bad’ instead. Who in their right mind would workout during the holiday season yo?? Nice arr, nice arr, nice arrr?? ;p

Post-workout situation. I’m not trying to scare people but this is what happens when you push yourself to the limit with a f@#*$% workout like ‘Fight Gone Bad’ :p L – R: Jon Wong, Ben Yue and Ping recuperating.

Snow angels? At Pushmore, we have sweat angels! Jinn showing off his pile of sweat.

100 Sit Ups for Time

Results: First round of 100 2:50 and 5 minutes later second round 3:20
Before CNY, I could see 4 pecs. After being away from KL for 6 days and eating like there was no tomorrow, there’s only 1 pec left :p I weighed myself at the gym and was initally pleasantly surprised to see that I had gained 1.5 kg within that short period of time. Then I realised it was fats instead of muscles. Fuuuuudge -________-”

Post workout, trying to remind myself why I put myself through this shit. Because its FUN! :D :D
