  • Welcome back PBB! :smiley:
  • 5 weeks consistent with the training (3x per week). Getting back on track on day at a time! The nutrition part is a bit lousy though. Haha! PEACE OUT!
  • (Quote) I agree with this especially with the less strain on the rotator cuff. Mas safe talaga ang neutral/parallel grip sa shoulders. Halos lahat ng DB pressing and pulling exercises ko ngayon puro neutral grip na ginagawa ko except for barbells a…
  • (Quote) Masyado namang humble yang sagot mo. Nasanay lang? Nope, I don't think so. Here's what I think, you worked hard for it, you wanted it badly and it just shows on your log how you killed it. Props!  :biggrin: Back to square one muna ako, con…
  • Lakas bro! Inggit much! Natty strength FTW! Haha! :D Most I did with squats at 4 sets x 8 reps is only 150lbs. Durog na durog na ako nun sa last set. As in ugly as f**k na yung form sa last few reps ng last set just to finish it. Haha!
  • Ito rin usual na ginagawa ko instead of the strict overhead standing press. Mas shoulder friendly din siya especially on the bottom position.
  • Honestly, kung baguhan ka lang, any program will work provided that you train hard enough to stimulate your body and adapt. Basta progressive resistance lang. Always aim to beat your previous training either by adding weight, reps, sets and/or less …
  • (Quote) 57kg lang ako niyan at 5'3" height.
  • (Image) This was me a year ago at 34 years old. That's the result of overhauling my lifestyle, training hard and sticking to good nutritional habits. It took me 3 years of consistency before I got there. So yes, I think it's safe to assume that it'…
  • (Quote) Thanks bro. That's what I'm doing right now, getting back on the gym and just doing the motions. I'm hoping to get the spark back and be able to kickstart the fire again. So I guess I'm on the right track. Thank you again for the reassurance…
  • TEQUILA JOSS, I like! Haha! Anyway, need your expert advise again bro. Hehe! Lately, pansin ko, I'm around 4+ years now on this game and I find my motivation to keep pushing myself is dropping significantly over the past few weeks. Since you are a…
  • I think you are better off yourself than with your trainer. Basing on your posts, you seem to be knowledgeable enough already. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Now, if what you are looking for a trainer is the accountability part, go with @badass_vi…
  • Just got back to training last week after a 5 week hiatus and man, it sucked big time! Strength and work capacity dropped dramatically. :( Not worried though because I know that I'll get back where I left off as long as I get to lift consistently a…
  • Oh come on guys, give him a break and also the trainer he hired. They both deserve the benefit of a doubt. Wala naman kailangang i-prove kung lumalakas or hindi eh, much more, he is only liable to no one but himself. Advises are good, but forcing so…
  • @scorched As far as I know, regular ata yung group workouts nina @badass_vinch together with some PBB members. Not sure though. You could try to approach them and I think you'll have better luck doing a successful group workout/meetup than with me. …
  • (Quote) Hindi natuloy due to very short notice eh. Babakasyon ulit ako ng April or May, hopefully, matuloy na. Haha!
  • As we leave 2015 behind, I do wish that 2016 will treat me better, health and fitness wise. Same to all of you guys, may we have a prosperous and happy new year! :) PEACE OUT!
  • (Quote) Honestly, kung satiety ang habol mo, I won't drink any shake at all. Iba ang satiety ng whole foods. Mas lalo pa nga ako ginugutom pag nag-shake ako. Probably because it is easier to digest than whole foods. I agree din kay @badass_vinch, …
  • (Quote) Happy to be of any help to fellow fitness enthusiast. You can try other greens too, pero sa experience ko, spinach is the best. Walang nasty/unpleasant flavor sa shake. Celery is quite good too. I believe romaine lettuce would work well to…
  • Been out of the gym for almost a month now due to some kind of illness and busy work schedule. Sucks big time, but it's beyond of my control so I just suck it up and move forward. I'm feeling better now though and hoping that I can get back on track…
  • Kung may blender ka, it's much better. This is what we call in S2B as Super Shake. Try this: 1 or 2 scoops of Whey protein (preferably chocolate or vanilla flavor) 1 Banana 1 tbsp Ground Flax Seed A handful of Spinach It's a complete and nutritiou…
  • (Quote) Think of it this way bro, you are taking a few steps back for now to prepare for a bigger leap later. Hindi naman kasi puwedeng pedal to metal intensity palagi tayo eh. Remember, the older we get and the longer we stay in this sport, our mi…
  • I'm back to an old hobby of mine... Headphones and audiophile stuffs. Butas ang bulsa! Haha!
  • (Quote) Schedule an appointment with an allergist. Ganyan din ako, although hindi naman taghiyawat. Either rhinitis and/or sebborhea ang symptoms. Found out that I have food allergy with potato, sesame and kiwi. Yung potato, madalas ako kumakain nun…
  • Based on my experience, there is a "dead zone" when you're looking for progress in the mirror, especially when you are trying to get lean. I'm guessing that's around 12-15% body fat. You can barely see any progress at all (mirror-wise) but…
  • Dusting off this journal. Progress update, I'm up +8kg from last year's weight (55kg -> 63kg). Last time I went up like this, I looked like a big fat whale. Measurements wise, I'm around 31 inch waistline at the moment while the last time I had …
  • Anyway, sensya na sa short notice. Ngayon ko lang na-confirm yung schedule ko eh. Too busy with a lot of stuffs.
  • Ok guys, I'm available tomorrow from lunch till night. Luluwas ako ng Manila to process my OEC. If anyone is available for a meet and greet or group workout, let me know. Here is my number, 09298174801. @badass_vinch Bro, kung available na yung shi…
  • Nasa Makati ako last Monday, too bad PBB was offline and couldn't post any update regarding my errands. Na-schedule sana natin yung meet-up/group workout. Anyway, I might be back again next week in Makati. I'll keep this thread updated para ma-sche…
  • Kung weekends ang ideal schedule ng karamihan, I'll try to be available by June 19-21. Blocked out na yung weekend ng Independence Day sa schedule ko eh. Long weekend road trip with the family. Not yet final though. I'll post updates here once I ge…
