Dorian Yates' Blood and Guts Trainer

Share

Bodybuilding.com is showing a series of workout videos guided by none other than six-time Mr Olympia Dorian Yates. I've watched the whole and found it very educational on how to use High Intensity Training (HIT) and on other bodybuilding stuff too. For those who do not know it yet, during Dorian's reign of the Mr Olympia (1992-1997), he didn't use the normal approach to weight training. Instead, he developed his own training method, morbidly named "Blood and Guts", which was stemmed from Mike Mentzer's Heavy Duty Training. Blood and Guts helped Dorian gain an incredible amount of bulk and dominate the Olympia stage. Both training methods incorporate a low-volume training, using only single-digit number of sets per body part instead of the conventional dozen or more.

Cost of Groceries for Bodybuilding

Share

To some, bodybuilding can be expensive. As far as I know, I spend 3-4 times on food compared to my non-bodybuilding friends. So, for those who wanna get into bodybuilding and if you're wondering how much it will cost, here's a post about how much I spend on food. Oh yeah, food prices here are based on Singapore prices.

Here's my shopping list for my weekly visit to the wet market and grocery store. It's ALWAYS the same unless I ran out of toothpaste or shampoo.

Beef - S$30 (US$23) for 3kg
Mmmm... All the bloody goodness.

Bodybuilding Contests 2010 - Muscle Explosion 3

Share

First of all, to all my readers, I'm very sorry for not updating often nowadays. I'm loaded with schoolwork nowadays. Anyway, you know I still love all of you. :) Click here to be reminded whenever I update my blog.

Just only two weeks after the Multi Bodybuilding Championships, we're in for another bodybuilding contest, but this time, a local bodybuilding contest. Funny thing is, the number of people in the audience is a lot more compared to the Multis! Lol! The problem THIS TIME is, there are five categories and only twelve competitors. Great job, SBBF (yes, that's sarcasm).

Out of the five categories, there were three winners.

Chow Ngai Kay won the Junior Under 70kg category.

The Right Way to Lose Weight

Share

I have this friend of mine, and he *grasps hair* is the most stubborn friend one can ever get. He'll come to me and say,

"Wee Kiat, I'm serious now. I really want to lose weight. Tell me how."

"Are you really sure? Will you do whatever it takes?"

"Yes, just tell me and I'll do it."

"Ok, first, you need to eat six meals a day..."

"WTF!! You don't make sense man. Most people will eat less, maybe once or twice to lose weight. How can eating six times a day make me lose weight?"

"You see, I know you're gonna say this already. Why did you even bother asking me for advice again and again?"

The Most Important Factor of Training

Share

There are many schools of thought when it comes to training. Some believe in high-volume training and others believe in cranking up the intensity and lowering the number of sets. Same goes for low repetitions vs high repetitions and fast movements vs slow movements.

2010 Asian Bodybuilding & Physique Sports Championships in Singapore

Day 2 of the WBPF multi-championships is over and what a day it was! Not all good though. First of all, how can this be called a world event?! There were, like, more or less 100 people in the audience, at most! By the later part of it, less than 50 audiences remained in the hall. Plus, SBBF called this event a "mega-event" on their Facebook page. Yea right.

The *insert long event name here* is a two-day event, and it's happening right now, on 2nd and 3rd October. The pre-judging is over and I'm just waiting for the finals in a few hours time.

My review for the pre-judging? The physiques were FANTASTIC but the event was disappointing. At most there were only, like, 50 people in the audience!


Plus, there was a time when the top three athletes were constantly leaning on something, drinking water and taking breaks because the judges made them go through too many callouts. Pity them. Dehydrated and tortured.

Anyway, enjoy the rest of the pre-judging photos. I'm heading out to UCC for the finals now.
