Training Report.

Yet another update 26/2.
Lol I have nothing better to do nowadays, blogging 3 days straight. I'm treating this as a training log. This will be quite a short one.

Today I went to gym and train my legs as usual. Did squats, for that it was really good. I did 2 sets of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30kg. I'm getting used to squats already. But I still want to stick to this. I don't wanna risk anymore injuries. Thats because my deadlifts still sucks. I was thinking to have a good deadlift today, but instead thanks to a good guy in the gym, he told me about my form. I seems that I straightened my knees then my back, which was something I realized long ago but I didn't thought that there was anything wrong with it.

This means I have loads of things to work on now. Squats, which once I find it really hard to do, is getting better. On the other hand, deadlifts, which one I thought I was pretty OK with it, needs some work. I will still be working on both, but deadlifts I really need to practice the form. Like I said, I'm gonna go the gym more often to start working on my legs. So I will take more time working on the form itself more then anything else. Why? Because at my age, I shouldn't be lifting too much. Secondly, bad form is harmful to joints/bones/body. I think its more important to be safe, to have the proper form, so when I'm lifting heavier, I will still be safe. And look I still have a long way to go, I'm not even 15 yet, so I shouldn't worry about the progression and how heavy I'm lifting for now. I now feel that good mornings is the most hardest and dangerous exercise so I will wait till I'm stronger and older.

Nevertheless today's training is good, unlike yesterday, because I learnt something. Imagine not realizing my bad form at all. Imagining doing the bad form all the way. At least I realize it and learn from it. We have to learn something everyday.

I went to Shino's ramp today after school before going home. I realize so many things more that can be done there. There is so many things to do. So much more things to nail, so much more ideas, its really fun. Just thats there is too much high level stuffs that I don't know how to work my way up there. Most likely to end up with ankle sprains, luckily minor.

Sprains are caused by sudden overstretching. Which means that my ankle is weak in its flexibility and its strength to absorb the impact (which is mainly because i'm doing impactful stuffs). I must start stretching more. More quads flexibility and hamstrings flexibility, ankle and wrist flexibility and stronger knee and shoulders. I find that somehow I need to tweak my pullups abit, I find that I go all the way down till my shoulder is out of the socket. Then pull up again, to get the speed I have to pull my shoulder into the socket then the speed will be faster. You won't get what I mean, but maybe I will find a way.

Oh yeah, seriously no joke, my pulling strength seriously sucks. It really gone down, I don't know why. I think I need rest, my upperbody is quite tired. But I still don't know. This really sucks, ahhh dammit.

Seriously I suddenly got addicted to making more videos already. Without actually making videos. Well its because I watched more and more videos and I have more and more ideas, and I want to test more and more of my skills to be able to make a good video and a video that I like.

Stupid work tomorrow, I guess I'll go sleep now.
----------------------------
Another update 25/2.
Today I went down to the park at Simei and trained upperbody. I was thinking it would be better because at the playground there is alot of people at the roadside, but at the park there are people who are exercising so it doesn't matter much. That was true, but damn, over there is more crowded although they don't care, and somehow the pullup bars are high and hard for me to do weighted pullups when I have to jump. Plus the bar is harder to do muscleups, so today I focused on weightedpullups only and I only did like 5/6 muscleups. I'm not happy with today's training. I regretted training at the park, I should've trained at the playground. I don't think I pushed my body at all, its quite a waste of one training. And I find that I deteriorated in my weighted pullups too. Argh, I have to train back. My pulling strength has gone down, I feel that climbups are getting slower and harder. Pushing strength I didn't even train much. I don't know why.

I think its time to bring my upperbody training to a new level. Muscleups and weighted pullups is quite repetitive already. Although I have to stick with the 10kg pullups, I guess I will add more pushing exercises and stick to muscleups again, no choice. Ah well, this sucks.

Tomorrow I will be heading to the gym with GPJ to train my legs as usual. As I experimentated alot of the form this few days, I'm hoping my deadlifts and squats with improve, in terms of form. I don't want to lift heavy and I tell myself the most for squats is 30kg, and for deadlifts maximum 35kg. I have self-control, so I have to control myself. I still wanna train for functional hypertrophy because I don't think my body is accustomed to lifting yet. I also want to aim for speed in lifting rather then lifting heavier. I'm thinking of a good training tomorrow, I hope I would be disappointed.

Like usual wednesday will be a day of rest, working again, and eating mcwings again. So sad. Oh well, in my mind I'm not really wanting to buy my camcorder ASAP, but I know I really want it. I'm earning money now but I don't know what should I spend it on. I have to award myself once in awhile for working; I don't wanna work for nothing. I'm thinking of buying one more track pants and more clothes. I'll see.

Oh and, I feel that it is time to focus more and strength. I know myself that I'm 100% sure I couldn't survive without training movements at least once a week. So I guess 2 days of rest (wednesday and saturday), and 4 days of strength, one day at gym and movements. I find that training upperbody is really boring. Damn. I really need to motivate myself. I don't feel liek training uperbody today but I know that I have to or else I will waste a day of training. I will defiintiely train my legs more but I also definitely need to have rest. I guess 3 days of strength, 2 days movements. 2 legs (and core) 1 upperbody.

Feel that I have to state that I love both movements and strength training. Definitely movements are more fun, the feeling of doing those movements and how I train is so fun, the freedom and expression is great. Strength training is good because after the training I'm happy that I spend today training my strength, I know that tomorrow I will get stronger no matter what amount. And I'm happy that I have the self-discipline to push myself through the tiredness. Also its quite fun, squatting and deadlifting. Upperbody is boring for one reason, its quite repetitive as days goes by. Boring is no longer fun, when its not fun there is no use. Fun is an important aspect in training. I have to vary my upperbody more right now, and I know I have to still train them.

I'm thinking I should start planning what are my goals. Long time since I actually have aims in mind. I will start of with my progression.
Like I said yesterday my broad jump has increased a few cms which I'm really happy, long time since my precision length had actually increased. But I have to keep in mind that I don't keep doing my maximum jumps, and not to be complacent and still drill my 50 reps of 60% max. Balancing has gone up by alot, especially cat balancing. I can do it fast too, although some parts will be uncontrolled. I can balance but one thing about quadrupedalling is its quite tiring. Damn. Wall pass is still very inconsistent although I've learnt more about them. My rolls are still on and off. Sometimes I will feel pain, sometimes they are smoooth, but whatever is I have to continue drilling. SDC also improved alot, and generally my movements feels faster and I have better fluidity and "instincts". Armjumps also had improved by alittle bit.

Longterm goals. (hoping to achieve this by the end of this year)
- Planche EN force. For this I never actually at all. Just remembering about it and I should seriously start training for them. Doing more muscleup negatives too. But seeing my muscleups is still not 100%, I guess it will take some time to get them.
- 2x bodyweight squats. In other words I'm aiming like at least 100kg squats. its way more then the 1.5x bodyewight which in the minimum for plyos. But I know that if I do more then 2x bodyweight it is extra safe and extra strong.
- Be extra strong and flexible in every joints and muscles. In particuarly wrists, knees, ankles.
- Better self-control. Self-explanatory, common sense. I just hope to stop killing my knees, and stop doing stupid things. And stop bailing for gods sake.

Short-term goals. (no due date :P)
- Film my goddamn sampler!
- Train tricking more often, and get aerial and kick the moon. Better backflip.
- Handstands please.
- Straight-armed climbups.
- Start training the "untrained elements".
- 3days of strength, 2days of movements/gym, 2days of working/rest.

Vidoes I'm working on.
- Obviously my sampler.
- Tampines joy (wow, I've been waiting half a year already)
- My strength training (a remake)
- Untrained elements (including creativity training and teamwork parkour!)
- Artistic video (more of a video concentrating on the editing more then the moves)
- Normal training videos
- By the end of the year, a documentary. (for this it will be a big project and I need alot of help.)

Of course there are more goals and other stuffs but these are the main ones.
I've talked enough, and I have to shut up.
----------------------------------
Update Sunday 24/2:
Wow its nearing the end of Feb already. Just goes to show how fast time fades past us just like that. When we train, easily 2hours will be gone, super fast. When we are using the computer, doing tests, watching tv, 2hours can be gone just like that again. When we are not doing anything, or studying, or working, time past as slow as snails. This just sucks, but we all know that time is constant, although sometimes we feel that it does not. And we sleep another 8hours+ are gone, even faster. We left like 60years of life, we shouldn't waste anymore time. We only have 24hours a day.

Thrusday and Friday was cool, technical training. On Thrusday I did movements at castle and only castle. Was a good training, although I feel that there was some weird irritating bails as usual. Will elaborate about that later on. A few impactful stuffs I must say, but I think its ok. Good repetitions at the end of the training. Friday was a really good day. Raining and raining, but was at gym. I didn't do much there, but I was kinda mind training. I find that my backflips sucks. I got alot more work to do in Tricking. ALOT. But slowly. After gym was a night training, which was really good, although alot of time wasted, I've got nothing to say. I conquered a wall at Simei, which was a good one, really happy. Learnt alot about wallpasses. Focusing and breathing was learnt too.

Just now was great. I guess. I went to 497 and climbed the wall as usual, but lol, I realize my wallpass rely quite alot with the speed and run up. Something I should work on. And it rained. Lol wtf rain sucks!>!1!!!one!!!!!!!!!! Took bus 81 to interchange, wanted to go gym and train instead, but wtf mircales, not rainings at interchange area, went to shino not wet at all. WTF magic. HAHAHA incredible stuffs though. Did alot of stuffs there. Double minor sprains on my ankles thanks to the rail at the ramp. ONE DAY I will nail the level to level SDC2P. There is a new electronic meter box there, I wonder if I'm at a higher level, I could use that to do something crazy, lol. Next time.
Anyway I almost nailed the sdc to armjump. But I landed on the rail, and sprained my ankle abit. I think I'm quite close to the level to level sdc2p as I landed on the rail once, and sprained my ankle again. Fuck those rails, irritating as hell. I love shinos ramp now. There is things for basics, and for really high level. ALOT. Give me another two years and I will own Shinos ramp. Haha.

And I did alittle bit of tricking at the playground, as I wanna get over my backflip fear on pplayground mats. I did a backflip there and I kept doing and practicing. My backflips is getting better, more practice it will be a good one. Aerials are really hard, I hate them, but I must get them one day. Again I need alot of practice on that one. My next aim is to get the aerial, my to-do list for tricking for now.

I'm quite shocked that I can almost nailed a super far precision jump. I really feel that squats and deadlift improve my broad jump by alot. Although those are bad landings and maximum jumps, I didn't regret it because with that I saw how much I improved with my leg strength.

As I was saying again, bails are inevitable, but it can be avoided when you focus, think before doing something, check your surroundings, be aware, be smart, not to do things over your limit. But sometimes, unexpectedly, bails will happen. How would you know that the tiny crack can harm you? Sometimes its just unlucky, which is really sucky. But, my self-control seems to be improve, although a small amount, it will improve and it will continue to improve. Sometimes I have to give in, I cannot expect it to be gone just like that, as long as I slowly progress until the stage where I don't do stupid things anymore. But for now I must try my best to stop doing those stupid things. That is if I have the self-control to control myself. To control myself. I have to.

Friday went I go to gym, I met this guy (fucking shit I forget his name), he is NC's friend, met him before, but that day he teached me alot about self-defense. I learnt that to survive, we must be strong, learn how to escape (parkour), learn how to fight (self-defense), and how to survive *(survivalism). I'm not yet into survivalism yet, but I really want to start learning how to fight and such, because in my opinion it is more practical then Parkour. I can say by training Parkour I'm quite strong in how I handle my bodyweight only. But when it comes to lifting heavy objects, I'm weak as fuck, so I'm doing lotsa weight training now. Lotsa people think that weight training is to gain unnecessary bulk, those people don't have a clue. Seriously, if you train properly, you won't gain much bulk. Some hypertrophy is inevitable, but when you train properly, more weight and less reps, hypertrophic effect is reduced by alot. Weights are the best way to gain strength too. Oh well.
Anyway back to topic. Also when it comes to fighting, I'm weak as fuck. Thats why its time to learn some basic self-defense. I don't want to learn how to fight to fight people and show them I'm so strong and superior, that will only be for stupid people who abuse their abilities. I don't like to fight, but in situation that I have to, at least I'm prepared. I guess I have to start training.

My nutrition kinda start to suck now, full of junk and processed food. I have to start eating healthier, more meat less junk. Fuck macdonalds. I hope I can stop eating mcwings. Whatever. I'm having stomach upset more often. Argh this sucks.

Working for alittle bit boring, alittle bit fun, sometimes really irritating with irritating managers, but sometimes ok with fun people. I hate working at the lobby, I like working at kiosk. I learnt how to work at counter. Sometimes tiring, sometimes pretty fun. It's just a new experience.

Studies, next week will come the tests. I hate my Chinese, fuck it. Sucks like hell. I need tuition for it. I don't know how well I did in my tests. I will see.

I wanna start making my sampler as soon as next week. Hahahaha, the fun comes! After my sampler I will still continue to make more videos, I really love making videos, and filming. I will make alot of videos. I wanna test my editing skills. And all that is capture is the best way to see and recall as memories. Who cares about people who thinks that videos are show-off, and videos are made to with all the fancy editing and hardcore music to make the video more showy, cooler, attention wanting. Whatever man, seriously, whatever bitches.

Sometimes I think that if we keep thinking of something that we really want, something that we know we can do it, we believe we can do it. Just constant imaging and visualization of it, thinking of it everyday, everywhere, it will become reality. Giving it time and patience, of course.

The "mind-training" on Friday was great. I would want to emphasize on it now.
If you think about friends, no doubt friends are important and good. But many people rely on them too much. When friends say I cannot go out when they wanna watch a movie, they will feel sad. Sometimes its good to learn how to have the self-discipline to do things for yourself. If you friends go slack instead of studying for the test tomorrow, do you do the same? No, you go home and study, because you have the self-control to not get influence by them. Sometimes friends can be irritating. We need to find out our true friends, good friends that you can really trust and not one that will end. A friendship that can end doesn't even started (lol). I've yet to find out yet. They are hard to come by.

And society nowadays is so ruined, so fucked up, so retarded. I don't know whats wrong with them. Look around, you will see people doing stupid stuffs like smoking, slacking around making nuisance, acting like some gangsters, so vain, blah blah blah. Just retarded. Its ok to have good friends and go out with them to watch movies and etc. But don't make it a staple.

BGR nowadays. Its like a game. Break stead break stead BREAK STEAD and repeat. Lol, looking back how retarded I was to have a stead. Seriously I don't believe in BGR in a few things. First I doesn't work at the age of 15, we are still young and can't think properly yet, only when you are poly or so maybe BGR can work. Secondly, since the society so retarded and ruined like this, only one out of a thousands can actually be a serious relationship. How would we know whether the other party really like us? What does "I love you", "Hello dear", "Muacks", "Sweet dreams" means nowadays? Its just some bunch of words which are used to sweet talk others, and they don't even mean the word AT ALL, NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY. Must you say that to show that you really love her? People keep complaining and feel bad when their girl don't say that to him. ITS JUST RETARDED.
The best is to keep in silence. Real love doesn't need be shown. Small things are worth alot of things, thats it. Keep it small, being big doesn't mean anything. Seriously guys, BGR is just stupid. SERIOUSLY, please understand please, wake up suckers.

Life is just so complex. You are bound to meet people you don't like.

I havent found the real purpose of life yet. Even told yourself why are you living? Because of the sake of living? Nah. I've been loving life right now. I need to appreciate it more. As the reason get clearer everyday, I'm still finding the purpose of living. We all still need to find it too. We dont want to live without a reason and wait for death while doing stupid things. Wake up guys. Life is precious. Its only when we are about to die and then we start to cherish it more. Something that I find very wrong. Everyone should respect and listen to their bodies.

I need to start sleeping more. Rest more.

Blog is quite dead, but who cares. No one reads.
--------------------------------------
Strength training.
Yesterday was upperbody, same as normal as every other upperbody, just that this time I filmed abit of them, and didn't really count the reps. My weighted pullups and muscleups had definitely improved. OAC negative was better, but not controlled enough yet. I will continue with my weighted pullups and muscleups, I just need to do alittle bit more pushing. I need to get a correct one-armed pushup :P.

Today was gym. The first time I train at a gym alone. Was a good session for squats, but too much for deadlifts. I guess I should stick around 30/35kg for maximum for now. Same for squats. I need to gain functional hypertrophy and get better in form, especially in deadlifts. Although I deadlift alot, more then my squats, I find that deadlift is harder. I need to learn how to not round my back even in everyday activities. Squats was ok, did a 30kg squat, was quite heavy, but I can't believe I did it. Although a few of them was sloppy because of lacking focus. Need to lift faster not heavier. I need to give it time. Form is important when it comes to weights. But I find that being alone at the gym was a good experience. Need to be self-reliant ;).

Tomorrow will be work+rest.
Thursday will be movements.
Friday will be gym.
Saturday will be work+rest.
Sunday will be legs again.

Planning to do more lowerbody workout because again it is more important then arms in Parkour, as we need alot of explosiveness in our legs. And strong to resist landing. I wanna feel light when I'm doing movements, which means it will requires lotsa leg strength and power. I really wanna learn olympic weightlifting, I am sure there are some weightlifters in Singapore, and there is some gyms and coaches in Singapore. I'm going find them and hopefully learn them.
But before going to weightlifting, I'll make sure I could do 2x bodyweight squats and maybe 2x bodyweight deadlifts, both with good forms (they are like prerequisites). By then my legs will be strong.

Movements again, more repetitions, be focus, bail lesser, stick to what is planned, do not do things over my limits, do not do maximum jumps, stick to 70%/80% of max. Train properly, correctly, progress at a gradual progressive incremental rate. Train fluidity, runs, endurance, experimenting with techniques like breathing. Hope I can benefits from training more instead of killing my joints.
Tricking too, and I wanna train it properly. And other bar tricks, other art of movements. Lol.

Can't wait till I reached puberty and get done and over with. Then I will no longer be regarded as a "small kid". Hopefully I will be much taller, stronger (more muscles developed), definitely more mature, and weigh heavier. For now keep training, train safe, and eat alot! More meat, more egg, more healthier food, more protein, less junkies (fuck my job).

Just need to state that from previous training, even that you are focused and everything, sometimes things can fuck up and you will be irritated as shit. Its sometimes meant to happen (fuck fate, i dont believe in it but), sometimes naturally we succumbed to temptation to eat fast food, sometimes its because of lack of focus, carelessness, stupidity, or just, you know like "drunk"? Can't think properly. I don't wish to live life everyday coming back thinking about what I did, keep remorsing, keep worrying, keep regretting, and keep repeating everything again. I don't know when this will end. Because I said this again and again and again and again and again, but it still repeat. I can see that I'm forcing myself more to stay focused and have more self-control, hopefully one day all this fucking shit will end. I have to control myself.

More rest and sleep is needed, more food is needed, more good food and healthiness is needed, and more strength and technical training is needed, more hardwork, effort and determination is needed, more time and patience needed, more self-control and self-discipline is needed, more sacrifaces and learning journeys, obstacles and hardships will come.
We should still need to understand why we are doing this, because its LIFE, and we chose to do this, as we can easily say NO, IM LAZY. and stop doing everything, we CHOSE to do this, and we WANT to. enjoy now because you only have 60 years from till you meet your grave. 1hour is worth so many things. Stop complaining and giving excuses, get out of here and do something productive.

Update on Saturday.
