Whoa! Its been a week since I last updated the fitness blog. I’m just gonna chuck in all the past week’s workouts into one post as I’m supposed to be finishing up some pictures now instead of blogging >.<

Swam for 20 laps x 25 metres after a looooong day of shoot. Didn’t realise it would but my right knee actually felt slightly painful even when I was swimming. FML 0.o Need to go check it again soon.

After a hiatus of more than 6 months, I went climbing. Yes! Headed to Camp 5 with Edm, Andrew, Ping and Ah Boy. I warmed up on the auto belay wall, climbed approx 6 routes there before heading to the leadwall where I cleaned 3 routes and lead 1 easy route. Good times but sore fingers >.< Thereafter we went swimming. Did 10 laps x 25 metres.

“Cindy”
In 20 minutes, do as many rounds as possible of:
5 Pull Ups
10 Push Ups
15 Squats
Result: 11 rounds + 5 Pull Ups
Did chest to bar for the pull ups. Was initially targeting for 15 rounds, but by the time I reached round 8, I was bloody tired!

Woke up in the morning and the weather was sooooo damn good that I decided to take the morning off work and went climbing. Seeing that it was my second year anniversary (yes, August 25 is the actual date :D), I told myself I deserved to take a break. Hah! Excuses, excuses.

Headed over to Nanyang Wall in Batu Caves with John-Son and Juan. The weather was awesome but by noontime it got quite hot and I actually turned 3 shades darker. Well, something like 3 shades anyway :p Cleaned 3 routes and lead one super easy route.

John-Son giving Juan a backrub? Nah, he was just applying sunblock for him ;p Talking on the phone while belaying? Luckily you’re not at Camp 5 :p

I’m starting a new fashion fad – “Towel Head Look” >.< Yes, it was THAT hawt! Literally

Headed back to work for a couple of hours before going off to Pushmore for the below workout,
“4500kgs for time.” (actual workout was from 21082009)
Bring a total of 4,500kgs (3,000kgs for women) from ground to overhead.
- You choose the weight and exercise. Kettlebells, dumbells, or barbell, your choice.
- Every rep must start from the ground and finish overhead.
- Example would be to do 188 reps of KB Clean & Jerk @ 24kg(188 X 24kg=4512kgs).
- Record total time, reps and exercise used.
Result: 53:11 (15kg x 223 reps of push press with barbell)
This workout was no joke. It was fun but the high repetitions got to me after the first half. Will definitely do this again in a couple of months time. Perhaps sometime next year ;p The DOMS that I got from this workout lasted ’til today. No joke.

Weighted Pull Ups
3-3-3-3-3
Result: 12, 16, 16, 17, 18.5kg
Threw myself into this workout even though there was no time element as I headed over about an hour before the noon closing time. The first 3 sets was ok and when I decided to upp it by another kilo, I struggled by the third rep. Took a break before the final set to do the below ab workout. Struggled like a stuck pig with the final weights but managed to complete the last rep with a weird kip.

100 Sit Ups For Time
Result: 3:10
