Canon Speedlite 580EX II

Picture worth a thousand words.

My dad called me while he was at Klang Parade today afternoon, confirming the model of the Speedlite with me. I finally got my hands on it. All thanks to my dad.

Now all I need is to brush up my skills. =))

Personal Feedback on BSN N.O Xplode

I'm posting this entry immediately coming back from Fitness First IOI Mall.
I purchased my first tub of N.O Xplode back in August and I was so excited about it. But until today, I've used only 7 servings(broken into 3 workouts). And I doubt I'll be touching it anymore after today.

According to dailymuscle, N.O Xplode works perfectly for him. But it works the other way round for me.

I consumed it on an empty stomach as instructed by the label and my workout for today was Rippetoe Workout A. I did not feel the 'kick' as many users claimed to give them. Infact, I feel really weak and did not have the strength to perform my workout well. My hands were shaking(similar effect of working out on an empty stomach) as I lifted the barbell off the bench press. A workout without RPM is not a complete workout for me. I proceeded to the cycling studio.

After completing my workout, I was overcome by a feeling of nausea. I immediately rushed into the locker room, fill up my shaker with Cytosport MuscleMilk, gulped it down, sat down and calm myself. 5 minutes later, I felt better.

I'm not sure why is my body reacting so negatively towards N.O Xplode. But end of the day, I'll give it up because my previous workouts with it did not go well either(same effect as today). I'm better well off taking 2 slices of wholemeal bread with peanut butter and a cup of coffee 1 hour before my workout.

Random Thoughts Of The Week

Being a coach at the gym;

On Tuesday morning, I made 2 students vomited by running 3 rounds around the college's Olympic-sized swimming pool. I was leading the students in the run and they tried to keep up with my pace.

2 days later, I threatened a small size girl that If she could not lift 30pounds on the shoulder press machine, she'll fail. She cried. The reason I treated her like that because she was playing around during warm up session, and I got sibeh tulan with that kind of attitude. But of course, I joked with her and she start smiling again. But I hope it was a sincere smile.

I hope they hold no grudges towards me.


Being a student at class;

Having Miss Aggy to be our tutor is real darn fun. She plays game with us during tutorial classes instead of giving tutorial questions. And often it will spark out arguments among classmates on who's idea on tackling certain situation is the best.

It just amuses me to see how people intellectualizes a subject or issue, according to their level of understanding.
