After 3 months of training I've lost some hair, changed a pair of pants & acquired a new watch 🤪

PROJECT Z LVL 2: FAT LOSS PHASE

Unlike my previous cut, instead rapid fat loss I’ve opted for a rather slow fat loss process, trying my best to preserve as much muscle mass as possible.

Regardless what your goal is right now, just remember whether it’s fat loss or muscle gain can be a long process, consistency & patience is always your best friend, not to mentioned a well structured workout and nutrition plan is absolutely crucial.

Cheers guys! Happy Weekends!

The secret to success is found in your daily routine

Cause you only got one life one chance to prove it

Once a upon a time, there was a....
Who lives in a....under the sea

2 years back I built a pretty lean physiques with just a pull up bar, dip bar and a pair of 8.5kg dumbbell. Fast forward 2 years later.....

Doesn't matter where you are right now, as long as you are on the way to achieve your next target!

It's April 2022! Have you started chasing your 2022 fitness goal?

Feels good to be back on track! Reborn 😏

90 days transformation
If you struggle from certain disease like i did that prevents you from achieving your fitness goal, DON'T QUIT!

If you suffered from HYPERTHYROIDISM like I did, and struggled to put on weight or muscles due to obstacles in life, please read on.

I was diagnosed with Graves's disease 7 months ago and lost 15kg of weight in as little as 1 and a half months time. My previous hard work to build muscles and maintain a six pack abs was shattered at the time.

3 months before I was diagnosed with the disease, I was constantly active and had a fairly lean muscular body, however quitting from my previous fitness job due to pandemic made me stopped working out for 3 months while I was training for a new job.

Within that 3 months things just didn't felt right, my weight dropped sky rocketed, including my muscle mass, I was feeling down, low in stamina, low in energy, struggled to sleep, having problems with emotion, night sweats, racing heart, hands trembling and the list goes on and on and on....

To put things into perspective, my fitness level plunged from 15 pull ups to 2 pull ups in just 1.5 months! it's was so crazy because one of the symptoms of HYPERTHYROIDISM is muscle weakness.

When I realised it's time to seek medical advise. Things started to improved slowly after taking prescription medication for 2 weeks. My stamina was better, I was able to slowly increase my strength in training, my overall mood felt better, and most importantly my other life threatening symptoms has been under controlled after a month taking meds.

The thing is, if you also struggle from certain disease like i did that prevents you from achieving your FITNESS GOALS, DON'T QUIT!

Even if it takes more effort than a normal human being to reach your GOALS, DON'T GIVE UP!

Even if it takes longer time for you to get to your GOALS, NEVER GIVE UP!

TRUST THE PROCESS, BE CONSISTENT.

You will be there one day 💪🏻

Dentist: Open your mouth wide please
Me: Okay 🦍

It's more than just lifting, it's about motivation, dedication, and commitment to yourself.
