Muscle Max Kuala Belait, Brunei Darussalam

A great gym with tons of hardcore equipments

Another gym which was in my list of visits since God knows when. I’ve heard of the place but never really workout there. Because I always got lost trying to find the place previously until I finally worked in Seria and the most hang about place with my friends there is Kuala Belait. Previously I always workout at Paul and Olivia, Kuala Belait because it’s easy to find. Probably will do a review on that one in the future. So here’s Muscle Max Kuala Belait, a HARDCORE GYM here in Brunei where the heaviest dumbbell could break my back if I tried lifting it.

I just love this incline Machine Bench Press which really target the upper pecs

The Gym is a little warm. There are wall fan around but most of them are off. Only when I decide to turn it on that I get the breeze. Luckily there are lots of windows open and the air is circulated.

Most of the machines are rusted but still functioning properly. Don’t let the faded paint turn you off. Warriors are made under these conditions. These are the kind of gym where builders pump hard and not talk hard. Get what I mean. But if you talk hard here then I can’t say much too. What I do know is when I enter the gym I’m in another dimension! SHUT UP AND PUMP!!!!

Well, it’s my Chest and Back day so the 1st thing I did was jump onto the Vertical Bench Machine and superset it with Seated Row. Fit nicely as both the machine were beside each other. I was there for a good 10 sets. 5 sets normal grip on the bench machine and narrow grip row and another 5 sets lower grip with wide grip seated row. Moving on to the Incline free weight bench Machine as shown above supersetting with Dumbbell bent over Row. 5 sets each before moving on to Cablecross and lat pulldown. I can’t remember all the exercise I did as I was totally zone out.. or zone in. I was happy with the setups but not too joyful bout the temperature. But nothing I can’t dealt with as it’s the quality of the workout that is important.

You get a full range of machines here for the whole body’s requirement.

After a great Chest and Back workout

Overall I’d say 4/5 Come and give it a PUMP!

Why I choose to Change my Life? Big Questions : Easy Answers

Muscle in the dark

It’s a question a lot of people would ask me. As much as those who would ask me how to get the 6 packs washboard I figure. There is always “WHY?” but the answers never have to be as complicated.

Being a responsible person to those I love and care for a start. The society is facing a crisis now. Health crisis and lifestyle crisis. Due to the every growing of technology and modernization of the society living expenses have increased and more and more people are trapped in the web of money slavery. It’s never enough. People’s are clouded by means of how to earn more and to live more luxuriously. Turning to fast food and easily accessible unhealthy selection as not to lose out on any time available to earn more money. Sleeping less and stressing more. I’ve witness a lot of the people around me being caught in this web and unfortunately the toll didn’t take long to arrive. Having diagnose with diseases such as diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, gout and etc at a young age which prevents them from enjoying their life to the fullest as there are too many restrictions to follow. Worst of all they would be a burden to those who cares for them. I’m not saying it’s a burden to take care of those we cherish and love as it’s our responsibility to love them and care for them. But I don’t wish to be someone’s burden.

Checking out my Arms before my Mr Miri 2011

Have you ever notice each time after a meal you feel tired and drowsy? Especially after a heavy buffet. I hate that feeling cause it’s preventing me from being efficient and lots of happening things in life like spending time with my family or people I love. And knowing that it was all in the food, I made some research and it’s all bout the carbs.. WRONG CARBS that is!! I was taking in too much simple carbs which slows down the metabolism way too much. (P.S. I used to eat 3 plates of white rice each meal – LOL) Remember : You are What You EAT!

Then being a slacker was very taxing on my self-confidence. My self esteem was really low at that time. The world is a very material world where everything thing is visual. My ex- used to squeeze my tummy and start calling me fatty and all. lol. I weren’t ever really fat. Just soft and cuddly. LOL. But the fact that if you walk into a room with your rock solid chest held high and fully packed guns underneath those sleeves and with a tucked in smaller waist…. need I say more…..?

Checking my Abs for Mr. Miri 2011

Finally – It’s my career requirements. Since I’m only 5’7″ and I don’t have the good looks. The best thing I can control is my physique. Cause I know with determinations and discipline and hardwork (smart-work) I can build a better asset. It’s not easy to be an actor among a field of talents. I’ve got to stand out and having the knowledge I have, I’ve got the upper hand. So I started preparing my body for the war which is to come…. below is the picture of how I look when I came back into Body Fitness.

this is how I enter Hottest Hunks in Malaysia 2009

So all you have to do is ask yourselves….. WHY?
