Today in the first episode of health and fitness, i will be tackling some myths that have stayed as myths for way too long.
First problem I want to tackle is actually a non-issue. Basically it's just one person against the rest of the world.
'Although this video proves that working out "old school" style is still better than gym'
this comment not so much perturbs but more like perplexes me.
Quite easy to know that the video below is some american propaganda against the russians. So the russian train in the gym and the american rocky train in the old school way.
please tell me the actor Sylvester Stallone doesn't use the gym at all.
If u want to use old sch training methods like log PT and stuff, please go ahead.
The gym is a convenient place to train with specialise equipment to target the muscle groups u want to train, for strength, endurance or muscle hypertrophy. Of course u can train without a gym in wat can be defined as old sch methods. e.g carry a dumbell vs carrying a log

Convenience of gym vs other training methods
To get from a lower level of fitness to a higher level, there are many ways. for a simple anology, just compare trishaw and taxis. both will get u to the same destination, but taxis will get u there faster.
Trishaw belongs to the 1960s and taxis the 1990s and beyond.
same for traditional training methods and using a gym to train up.

Next i would want to clarify another myth about whey protein powder.
lim told me that if he poke my muscles, instead of blood, powder will flow out. quite funny isn't it.



Firstly people thinks that it is drug.
oh well. for your info it is obtain from cow's milk, usually as a by-product of cheese.
Milk has two proteins: Casein (approximately 80%) and Whey Protein (approximately 20%). and believe it or not the second most abundant component in whey protein is alpha-lactalbumin, which is one of the main whey proteins in human breast milk.
So if it's drugs, then ur mum is producing it.

If u think WTF then y is it in powder form and in such a big tub? milk powder is everywhere. If u happen to be drinking HL milk, take a look at it's contents. The first ingredient is milk SOLID.



So now u think that by consuming this you will automatically become bigger.
First of all , i must remind all that supplements are NOT magic pills or what to gain the desired body that you want. Without hard work and a sound diet, supplements will not help in any way. simply taking protein powder doesn't result in instant weight gain to any degree.


so u think this if consumed in large quantities is harmful to health.
there have been lots of dubious claims about high protein diets being dangerous because it requires a lot of water to digest. A simple answer is to drink more water. Protein is the building blocks of life. FYI protein repairs body cells, build and repair muscles and bones, provide a source of energy and control many processes in the body related to metabolism. Whether u weight train or not, u NEED protein to survive.
Though most of these claims of protien being dangerous are outdated, people still choose to believe, and preach this crap theory.
and oh please, this is 10000 times better than wat u put in ur mouth such as macdonalds, kfc etc.

lastly if u need to look at any video for motivation, look at this. Basically this guy is handicapped but he look at the way he train. real passion and dedication.


next issue will be regarding fat loss and running. stay tuned!
