Heading towards end of 2012

You only have yourself to answer to

Cont’ – 2009

… I guess my career helps in pushing me to be more determined by then. Being an actor with just the knowledge out of an acting school without the “Idol Class” Qualification which is much look upon… its pretty competitive. So I push harder but smarter now. Before I start I set a goal and told myself no matter what others say I’ll stick to the plan unless I decide to make the change on my own. I know a lot of people around me will have a lot of say in many things so best I set my mind firm and not stray or submit to temptations.

Then I went into modeling. Entering contest of like:

• Hottest Hunks in Malaysia
• GS Vogue Super Hunks

and some lingerie shows and magazine shoots, bridal shoots because back then when I started, not a lot of models are muscular. Most of them are tall and thin. lol. The irony. I am short and sexy 😛 kidding. But yeah, I was creating awareness and attention wherever I went. Be it on the film & Drama sets or just modeling events. And up till the point of events non related to modeling or acting. The sudden extra attention felt good. But i always tell myself that I will not stray from my path. Some offered me advice to abuse steroids and even told me that oral steroids are not consider steroids. Some models even told me to inject L-Carnitine directly into the abdominal areas but I never fell for those kinda temptations. It was due to my goal as its not just to look sexy, but i focus more on FITNESS & HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. To me, having to directly inject any substance into my body to enhance anything is bad. READ UP on it and you would know that our body is not meant to receive so much dose is such a gushed manner. Asked me what do I think of them who took it? “Its their own choice and we have different goals” What they are willing to sacrifice now for whatever reasons it is isn’t what I am willing to sacrifice long term. i look ahead to 10 years down the line, 20 years, if so blessed 30 years and 40 years. The short 5 minute fame is not what i think in my own opinion as worthy my sacrifice.

I didn’t join a lot of modeling contest because i was more focus on acting. Most would tell me its almost near impossible to be both acting and maintaining. Well, I’ve to juggle Studies, Acting, Modeling and Events while maintaining my physiques. All it takes is a little time management. I mean, most people I know usually tell me that they don’t have time to go to the gym. And when I asked them what are they doing for the night, its always

• I’m clubbing tonight
• I’m Pubbing tonight
• I’m going starbucks, coffeebean, this dinner that tea time… endless

but never had time to gym. So I guess at the end of the day, its what you see as important or prioritized that matters if you have the time to stay healthy. On those ground traveling days, my luggage usually has a minimum weight of  20kg. My pair of dumbbells. And when I’ve to fly, i’ve my trusted Resistant band. Sometimes when I can’t bring much.. I’ll grab whatever I can get. Like fire extinguisher (I’ve a video of that) stairs, tables, chairs.. you name it I’ll think of it. I’ll mostly wake up earlier than everyone else to pump in the gym before going to work in events or shoots or sleep later than anyone else. When I first started I did a lot of cardio up till I read that the real fat burning exercise is weight training and how intensely you do it. Anyways, back then I would jog at 2 am – 3 am in the morning after work around my condo freaking the securities out sometimes. lol. Usually an hours worth before I head back to my unit and shower before I rest to wake up at 6 am to go to shoots. It’s all about dedication and how much you are willing to sacrifice. Sometimes I would drag myself out of the bed like a zombie early in the morning just to exercise. Even with eyes wide shut.

It’s always about how much it meant to you and how much are you willing to sacrifice to obtain it.

Innocent till Proven

The stack im on in preparation for my photoshoot

Let’s talk bout reality. Science-Medical-knowledge and taboo. In reality once you hit ur 30’s people start telling you that your hormone’s dropping and for guy, its mostly the worst nightmare. Testosterone level in danger. Getting too low and 1st thing that fear us is our performance both in bed with our women and in gym with our muscles. But im not here to talk bout the bedroom talk. More to unveil a myth which has been haunting us gym enthusiast, Fitness believers and those who are freaked out by taboos.

As you can see at the bottom middle of the picture above I’ve included Tribulus Terrestris in my stack. Since I’m at my early 30’s why not. I’ve never really got myself down to try any testosterone booster all these while. Even when USP Labs 1st launched their “Pink Magic” with awesome reviews, I went to get a bottle of it a few months before my local bodybuilding competition. It sat in my cabinet for many weeks before I release it off to a friend. I couldn’t bear to bring myself to consume it because my hormone was off the charts. Even without the boosters I could feel pity for (If I had one then) female partner with my raging sexual needs. But I’ve not been practicing self control for nothing since I started bodybuilding.lol.

Shredded Abs with good dieting

So only up till last month that I ordered a bottle of bodybuilding.com Tribulus Terrestris from of course, http://www.bodybuilding.com which is very reasonable priced. I had to give a little to what the world believe. i guess it’s what they call reality. worldly reality that is. So here’s my review of testosterone and supplement boosters.

i just love seeing more and more veins.. obsession

I’d say Tribulus Terrestris works as it claims. I can feel the rush in hormone. (feel) Just so you know I didn’t conduct any medical or scientific analysis and not making up on any medical claims. It’s a claim upon my experience trying out the supplement. And so, I feel much aggression and a gush in temper. I’ve always been very good at maintaining a cool head but after a week of using Tribulus Terrestris I notice that even minor things (usually dumb actions by others) triggered me easily. Even when the person in the gym didn’t place the weights back to the rack triggers me. I mean, usually I would just workout and along the way return it to the original place for them. Now I find myself uttering mockery. Which I don’t like at all.

Secondly I find that my sexual needs have been boosted many folds. It has caused me to have this desperation needs. Feeling Sexually Deprived when I’m not having any in a day. Which is bad because I’m single and I’ve not been having sex for a long time. All I can say is I’ve to settle it… in my way.. don’t ask.

Thirdly I notice physically there is some benefits to the muscle mass. In a way I’ve no idea how to explain but I’m getting more shredded dry. Gaining a little muscle mass. But of course, this has a lot to do with my clean diet and strict-Active-dedicated workout regiment.

So that’s is about the supplements. Now my opinion on my Lifestyle in conjunction with diet, workout and supplementation (Testosterone boosters)

Well, before I consume my 1st Tribulus Terrestris capsule I don’t feel any lack in my hormone in a sense there is no decrease in libido. Maybe it was due to my active lifestyle and most definitely the “Squats” and tons of lower body exercise in the gym. Not to forget a clean diet year through with lots of high fiber, protein and good carbs and most definitely good fats (omega) Fats is an essential and important substance to maintain a good testosterone level. The only difference is if you have the right fats to boost it. Having low visceral fat % will not only help in maintaining a good health physically but hormonal too. And it helps in courtship (mentally) 😛

can’t say much bout good sleep cause i’ve very sound sleep but very short ones too. Anyways, probably because my hormones are still high that I’ve added a booster in my stack that is causing me to be more aggressive.

I would say the old saying that ones you hit 30’s your hormone’s going downhill is not true. Well, not entirely true in a way on how you lead your life. If you have a healthy and active lifestyle you don’t have to worry bout it. If the other (Darker Path) then I can’t comment much but probably this supplement will work for you. And for those who are clinically or genetically affected too.

On my note of supplementation view Tribulus Terrestris works like it should.

I believe if I carry on eating healthy and lead an active lifestyle I don’t have to worry about this agenda for a long time. Myth Busted.
