BTW, found a gadget that makes the most out of my P5.00 coin...

Sa Mercury in our area (Manggahan, Pasig), there's this machine that measures your height, weight, heartrate/BP, body mass index AND FAT %...

Kakatuwa sya, this is a good tool to use as a baseline kung ano progress mo sa fat loss (or muscle gain) mo...

I just found out (although a bit disappointed with the result) na nasa 21% pa pala body fat index ko! I thought nasa 17-18% na ako... hehe although I started mga 28% 6 weeks ago... So ok nadin, I'll continue until I drop down to 12-15% before I bulk up...

Therefore: V_W: malamang fat loss product muna kukunin ko sayo before I get whey hehe. May mga meal substute products ka?

Nasubukan ko na rin yan dati sa Mercury Drug Rockwell naman, tinapon ko na yung results, nadismaya ako nun. :bwahaha:

Glenn: Actually I posted my results sa mga forum sa US, along with my current pics, sabi nila there's no way daw na 21% ang BF ko based on my pics... Mga 16% daw ako (which is what This website told me as well based on my figures that I entered... Mga 15-17% ako nagrarange.

Baka may factor the fact that I took that machine test mga 9PM na kagabi, after quite a few liters of water (i drink a lot after 5, dunno why), 3 meals past 4pm and got knows what else :P

I'll get to cross check when I get my body fat caliper in sometime mid nov.

van_wilder, my summer 2003 (August) pics, wala akong supplement. Then by December 18, 2003, nag multivitamin ako kse nag enrol na ko sa fitness club. After 3 months, nag Nitrovarin ako saka yung useless na MMUSA Creatine Serum. April of 2004, I started taking Amino 2222. Nitrovarin is only taken on heavy workout day, approx 3 times a week, before bed time. I should have gained more kung nag supplement ako ng Whey protein. This October 20 nga nag start ako ng Whey and Creatine powder.

Mas malakas ka sakin definitely. Pero I have never included the close-grip pull down on my routine. Lahat ng back ko, wide grip. Ang pang mass ko lang is rowing.

in 1999, na injured din ang wrist ko. That was the last time I bench pressed an 80lb dumbbells.

theveed, maganda yang ini-isip mo. Mura lang naman ang pagawa ng mga equipment sa Pinas. Dips and Pulls is the most basic, anything else will be easy kapag na master mo na yan.

theveed, mag lifting straps ka kaya? Exercise sa grip, yung dalawang 2-1/2lb plate, back to back grip mo while counting til it slips off your fingers.

tawa ako ng tawa sa sinabi mo Ungas! tinapon daw amfucha :hihihi:

theveed, ginagawa ko, nakaharap ako sa sandalan ng bench para flat parin ang back and di umaabante neck ko to avoid injury. smith machine nga pala, not the olympic bar. delekado sa injury para sakin pag free bar gamit ko eh.
