Hey dudes and dudettes...

Wondering if any of u hit the weights? Seeking gym buddies...

I also conduct FREE personal/group training. Could also plan out individual nutritional needs.
Open to guys and girls. No worries. No catch Its the least I can contribute to the LGTC community.

If you aspire to tone, lose weight, get ripped, bulk up etc.. Look me up ya?

Cheers,
Gargy

personal training will great...do u gym at california fitness, midvalley??

finally we got PT in our club... wish if i'm still in KL.. hope can re-migrate to KL soon hjeehhehee.. i'll be in that group..

i'm interested...which gym do u go to?

Could arrange... Although a bit outta way... Im still divided whether to join the california or fitness first.

Currently Im training in an old skool, non aircon gym in Puchong area. Can't recall the name. Just above the exhaust shop.

Its a nice and conducive place to induce freaky growth

Join me?

Interesting... by the way, how's the training schedule like for working people like me?
cheers

Well, it depends actually. Twice a week is sufficient if your exercising for general health.

If you intend to bulk up 3~4 X a week would do perfect! Remember, plenty of rest in between! Tee hee!

hmm... looking forward in seeing you. thanks and cheers

Glad to be of assistance

If any of you guys have any general queries with regards to gym training, nutrition, supplementation (eg. Whats the difference between whey protein and casein etc..) Can post your questions here. Try my best to answer!

Cheers!
Gargy

Gargamel, looking at your body size, I am very convinced that you are a PRO! lol....
I'm a member of CAlifornia Fitness, but now mostly do outdoor running. Feel like going back to gym to build some lean muscles after your offer hehehe...

p.s. I have a long time ambition that still unfulfill......... V shape body hehehe

Do u cover california fitness in sunway pyramid?

Hehe.. Not a pro lah... Just like to help people achieve their goals. Kinda makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Haha

V shape? No problemo dude. Hard work and determination is the key. Actually its kinda easy. If you know how to "cheat"



Soon... Any particular goals u achievin?

Hmm... I only wan to bulk up one particular part of my body leh... how to arrange bro Gargy? Hahahaha

Thats easy dude... For length, I recommend suspending 45lb plates from that appendage.

To add mass and definition, pounding the love muscle with 25lb dumbells in each hand in an alternating fashion. Should get that part beefed up and real jacked... Try it dude!

Hahahaha

nice one bro gargamel...kekeke

any nice tip to make my beer tummy go away?

gosh mine is growing everyday

If u can come to midvalley - california i can get you paying customers while i get my lesson free... let me know how much u charge for non- LGTC members.

Well, beer is high in calories, lowers your testosterone levels and research shows that alcohol increases your appetite. I guess its all co-related..My best advice lay off it... But if u have to, go easy on it Adopt an attitude where evrytime u booze, u feel "guilty" and make up for it by working out the next day.Hope it helps!Cheers!GargyOh its ok really... I don believe in charging people when it comes to sharing my passion with others. It satisfies me more to see smiles on peoples faces when they manage to shed that niggling inch of their waistline

Bro.. can i join you? mana mana gym pon tak kisah.. masa dan hari u selalu pegi?

Currently still in Sgp. Be back in KL this coming wkend. When im back i txt u?

bro zack, its been awhile since the day i left

how r u recently?.....looking at this thread....im definitely in....but i already a member of fitness 1st.....also my schedule is tight for weekdays....i hang out 3-4 times a week in fitness......

why cant i grow big like bro zack?

i think is becoz of my gen......my family members all even more skinny small size than me....my parents very skinny oso......im the consider big size in my family ady

i dont take supplement but i do feed myself with proteins......even my members and frens in fitness say that im already the maximum ady coz u know la can see the green line from the whole hand lol......

dont see me small small size i can even solo 10 times per set without support for a weight of 50kg for chest......no kidding

no la bro.. that time very shy maa, see from far only la.. hehe

wah zac so nice of u to offer PT for us.
i was like 80kg's abt 3-4 yrs ago coz i was hitting e gym 3-4 times a wk.
use to run 5-8 km's then hit the weights, now all down the drain edi.
have packed on like 20kg's man so seriously thinking of starting again.

i'm a member of bukit jalil club and can make use of the gym there, maybe sneak u in as well.
coz bukit jalil is near puchong, let me see what i can do....

Hey dude how u doin! Im doin great Yeah been sumtime since we last met. Thanks for introducing me to dis great club!

Hmm bro... Urs is not really an isolated case. I have trained far more skinnier pple. Like bag-o-bones skinny. No kidding. Thru my experience, judging by your frame you can easily pack on more mass. To achieve it is solely up to you and how determined you are.

Most important thing for you right now is nutrition. Nutrition is the single most important factor in determining your goal. With regards to protein you need 1 to 1.5 grams per pound of lean bodyweight, spread throughout the day over as many meals as possible. All this is to be balanced with plenty of rest in between Lost? No worries. So was I when I first started out. I could go on and on.....

We have a more on depth discussion over coffee once Im back yeah?

Cheers!
Gargy

Thats the least I could do for a bunch of nice people

Its nice to noe that the existence of this thread sparks sum life changing decisions

As for your case, all is not lost u noe? So ur packing 20kgs of spare tyre, but possibly only a certain percentage
of it is just fat. The rest could be subcutaneous water. It could easily be shed off with proper training and diet.

As most of u understand, structurally our body composition is made up of 70% water. Some people retain water more than others. Hence the "puffy" look.

We meet up someday and do a case study on u ya?

Hmm I'm with True Fitness. Trying to lose some weight while toning and getting rid of the spare tyre :P

Do share tips bro!

no problem, take your time bro, btw FYI i dont touch steriod

bro zack has became the club's fitness consultant.

well, different people have different metabolism rate, which is the main cause of why some eats a lot but dont gain a pound while some will gain weight by breathing.

maybe our next tt will be in a gym.

Yup, I hv a pretty high metabolism rate (confirmed by a full med check-up), tat's y I'm skinny no matter how much or how often I eat.

Bet many gals "want my body" for tis reason alone, LOL

omg rev, u giving me e chills la... from my hair to my spine to my toes ler....
not going to say anymore edi... ahahaha

many have the wrong impression that having a skinny body means out of troubles from high blood pressure and high cholesterol. in fact, many skinny people turned out to have heart related diseases due to the above wrong impression. they thought they could eat anything without gaining any weight, thus free from all these heart troubles.

also, many girls thought exercise is a good way to lose weight. in fact after certain period of exercises, they will gain more weight than before. but all these are perfectly fine because muscle weight more than fat.

bad thing is, a lot of people went on to diet to lose weight, without knowing the weight losing was from fat or muscle.

people with great muscle mass can absorb higher calories than normal people because muscle plays a big role in bumping up your metabolism rate.

I agree with Freddie...nobody would wanna be a bag of bones...a friend of mine who is really skinny has high cholesterol and blood pressure and diabetes, he continued eating whatever he can thinking that he can never put on weight and that he is healthy until he suffered from heart attack. He's still alive and kicking but has to be very careful with his diet.

wow freddie, didn't u can write so detail about health and fitness too....

Not many realize the importance of proper nutrition. If u guys were to engage any trainers, they would be advocating
the same thing also.

To give you guys a rough idea, 60% goes to nutrition and the remaining 40% is ur exercise regime,rest etc..

Screw it up and achieving ur dream physique would be futile.

Formerly being a trainer at my local gym back home, I noticed that many gym goers are clueless. I believe as with other sports, proper education and guidance is essential.

I used to be so gung ho about builidng up my physique... pasting a poster of Keanu Reeves and staring it while lifting dumb bell. Now can hardly do it consistently....

i agree wt u! it's very true. so, strike a balance!yea! persevereance n consistency is also paramount. once we buildup our physique but stop halfway, the muscle will soften down n it looks as if one i gettin fat instead of firmin up.

u have to continue until u can 'gerak2 atas bawah' yr chest lol

A quick show of hands...

Any aspiring bodybuilders??

well, thought of it b4 but didnt ve the disciplin n time commitment!!!

Maybe wat u need is some one to push u... Thats how most of the bodybuilders i noe got their jumpstart.

the word body builder a bit over ambitious for me, I just wanna look like Brad Pitt in the movie 'Fight Club'.

Ah.. Lean and mean huh?

Coincidentally, wat inspired me to beef up was the movie "Troy"

Immediately bought a set of dumbells after catching the show

so bro, just a question for you.

how long does it take for you to build from "original" to what you're now?

I been lifting weights for almost 4 years now. The last 2 years have been geared towards competitive bodybuilding.

I was reasonably scrawny before. 65kgs on a 1.78m frame. Highly disproportionate.

During the first 3 months of training, I have made clean gains of almost 20kgs. All this is made possible with excellent nutrition and a crazy trainer.
