Background
When I Started: Apr 2006
HOW I STARTED:
After an operation at the abdomen to remove my appendix and a foot of my small intestines in 1999, not having food for a week set me back to bones. After recovery, my once rigorous and active lifestyle turned to indoor activities due to a problem i contracted (adhesion colic) from the operation. This let me at 174cm or 5'9, to put on tonnes of weight and hitting the scales at 76kg at the start of 2002. At the end of 2002, i start about a plan to lose weight (drastic, not recommended and starvation) till i was at my lowest of 56kg. And improving my weight to 60kg, i maintained it till 2006. In April 2006, my friend pulled me along to the gym, where i started simple circuit training to build up some momentum. Currently, into my 7th month of training, i have built up to 66.5kg with much visual improvements from my once skinny frame.
WHY I LOVE IT:
Bodybuilding/Working out gives me the adrenaline, not to forget time out from my otherwise stressful or busy lifestyle. Keeping fit and building muscle brings more balance to my life. It keeps me organised and it's all about setting goals and achieving it.

My Motivation Program
I keep a record of my workout routines, my daily food consumption, my supplement consumption, weight, hours of sleep and each time i aim for a higher standard.
Apart from self motivation, my gym buddies are a motivation. My gym "mentor", aka my friend has influenced me a whole load and i've passed on this to my new "trainee" who wants to build muscle.

MAX-OT
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 5:03pmInto my third week of MAX-OT and i can already feel that the gains are terrific. My workouts have never felt so intense before. I've gone up 1.5kg since i embarked on MAX-OT with little visible fat gain. I started out about 10 - 15lb lighter from what i lifted in 5x5 to accommodate for the two actual work sets in MAX-OT as compared to my single heaviest lift in 5x5. Already in the third week and i'm back up at my optimal for Squats, Deadlift and just 5lb away for my Bench. Worked on neglected body parts like calves and abs and to a small extent hamstrings felt really great. The fact that I've...

You've done a great job so far. Solid traps and shoulders, getting thick chest/pecs and good work on arms and forearms. Like U said it all takes time and patience however with the work ethic I've read here you'll have what you aim for in no time. Continued success and keep us posted. André
