    Transferred to a new gym, Slimmers World (Pasig branch, along Marcos Highway). Not feeling strong today so I just did a random workout. They only have one power rack and I'm lucky no one is curling there. Their dumbbells weigh up to 100 lbs. As expected in a commercial gym, they have lots of machines

    *The tricep rope pull down machine feels heavy. One plate feels like ~15 lbs or is it just the pulley design ? In the previous gym, I can load up to 12 plates and do 4 reps. The brand of the machine is Paramount

    I think I'm on the right track now. Getting stronger in pull up. I will now have 2 types of pull up workout which will be done on separate days, one for increasing volume and another for max strength. I'm happy with the workout today coz of the pull up performance :)

    Mas brutal kung sa stairs. kahit 10-12 steps lang basta heavy. ewan ko nalang. I've done 100 per hand sa stairs. sarap! pero mas ok siguro kung mas mabigat pa.

    @ BANE / vinch

    Naisip ko rin yung sa treadmill pero baka masira yung treadmill pag bumibigat na yung dumbbell. Baka masita pa ako ng "personal trainers" dun. Isa pang problem ay nasa 2nd floor yung treadmill area

    Sa stairs naman, masikip at marami dumadaan.

    Dun ko sa aerobics area ginawa yung Farmer's Walk pagkatapos nung aerobics class

    Thanks sa tip

    dalhin mo kaya dun sa may hallway sa 2nd floor yung DB. Medyo malayong lakad din yun from door ng shower room papunta dun sa dulong treadmill. Or dun sa stairs papunta sa loft space sa taas ng 2nd floor.

    Ayos yan, ganyan din ginagawa ko sa gate namin dati. Mas ok siguro kung mag rep out ka everytime dadaan ka dun. May officemate ako 7yrs ago na nagpupullup sa sa CR everytime iihi sya. it worked!

    Still don't feel like going to the gym. I think I'll just take a month off from formal training

    Looks like completely fasted training cannot be sustained for a long period. I feel exhausted/fatigued

    Going to switch to fasted training with some whey protein like what I did today.
