chicken chop plaza singapura
Introducing Caribbean chicken steak at the price of $7.90. 1 piece of chicken breast is 250 gram comes with 1 vegetables and 1 corn and 1 choice of carbohydrates will be fries, wedges or rice.
The chicken breast is so tender and delicious. Unlike the one that we cooked. Which is normally hard and tasteless. Maybe because of the thickness that they cut and the way the chicken is cooked. They also have this special sauce for you to dip, a little bit of a sour taste to make the grill chicken more appetizing.

Supplement Review for Singapore Arnold Schwarzenegger Series Iron Whey! As a Singapore Fitness Blogger i like to provide people with the latest up on supplements and nutrition, so here we go the MusclePharm – Arnold Series Iron Whey supplement review!
I didn’t get to try the whole tub of Arnold whey but i did taste a serving of the chocolate flavor!
The taste is not too sweet and a little bit salty. Or maybe it is my sweat haha but overall in comparison with musclepharm combat powder , arnold series iron whey is not so sweet
Looking at the profile, with concentrate protein as the main source and isolate second this is a fast release protein powder, which is good for a post workout as you would want something fast absorbing. With the added vitamins and minerals it is suppose to help you absorb your protein better and maintain a better nitrogen level inside your body.
With a carbohydrate of 6 grams per serving, it is recommend for a more general use. if you are in your cutting phase or looking to lose weight you can try pure isolated protein which is zero sugar and zero in carbohydrates.
Good thing about arnold whey is that it contains, additional BCAA, Glutamine and digestive enzyme which helps you to absorb the protein better and recover better. This digestive enzyme helps to reduce bloated as well.
So if you are looking for a fast release protein, do give this a try.
Shoulder and bicep day with harun from brunei. He who is a mega gym, supplement and food chain owner in brunei, trains champion in brunei! Every year he will send a group of people to compete all over the world! Like the recent Shawn roden classic and the up coming Ronnie Coleman classic which I will be going to have a look!
So impress with his stamina and strength for a person at his age , no wonder he gain so much respect in brunei! While we are training everyone in the gym just wanna have a look at him.
Today we did a front shoulder and bicep workout. Yes! He split the shoulders up we only did front shoulder!! He said this is how they do it in brunei, 2 training session everyday!
Repetition is just a number, we do to failure and we train hard core. That is the mindset of champion. If your mind is weak, don’t train with me. So we go 10 reps 20 reps and harun say 10 more! So I kept pushing on. This is real, this is hard core. Muscle was so pumped at the end of every set. Veins popping everywhere. Harun don’t go thru the full range of motion but he keeps the tension there. Going back and fore tearing every single muscle fiber and going to failure. This is the old school way of training.
He also advice me on doing sprinting as cardio, sweating out after every session will be healthy for you!
So keep in mind people. Go hard or go home! your mind shape your body, nothing else can help you. Train hard, eat good, sleep well that is all that matters.
Creatine is normally found in your meat and creatine is naturally produced in our body as well.
when ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is used it is change into ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate), what creatine do is by changing your ADP back into ATP. ATP is a fuel for muscle, so the more ATP you have the more you can do. Creatine will cause volumization as well, which means it will pull water into the muscle. Showing increase in water weight.
What result can see get?
You will see an increase in strength by taking your creatine. Performing more reps and higher weight. This might sound too good, but this is by far the best supplement that I have ever taken.
Why choose musclepharm creatine?
First of all is the taste, it’s suppose to be unflavored but this creatine gives me a sour taste. Which I kinda like it, I don’t have to mix it with any other drink, plain water is okay!
Suppose to be a advance formula creatine so no loading is require unlike normal creatine monohydrate which require you to load in the first 5 days.
Not much bloating for me after using this creatine. As you can see the picture attached below.
Doesn’t really mix that well, will give you a sandy texture. However if you leave it there for 15 to 20 min the creatine will dissolve. Anyway it’s only 5 grams of powder you can easily drink it down so the texture doesn’t affect me much.
Had a great training session with darren at their newly open gold’s gym at “20B east coast road S428747 (opp katong shopping center, above RHB bank.

For the past 12 weeks i have been changing diet and training after reading Melissa sarah wee , leangains.com , primal blue print, 4 hours body and some other fitness related article. Made quite a bit of progress and here is my breakdown of the 12 weeks.
Week 1 to Week 6 – Intermittent fasting with High Carbohydrate
Week 2
Week 3 and 4Week 5
What i was eating(high carbs)
Week 6 to Week 12 -Intermittent fasting together with Paleo diet.
Week 7
Week 8
Week 10Week 11
Week 12
Paleo Diet
As you can see in week 1-6 my muscle seems fuller and thicker as compare to the week 12 photo which is much drier and leaner. Which is what i am trying to achieve. Currently weighing 71kg with about 9% body fat.
Comparing to my previous bulking diet where i hit 3000 calories a day
Here is a comparison for my previous bulking diet. Where i actually eat like 3000 calories everyday and have a lot of carbohydrate for every meal, the photo below was taken when i am about 73kg, 14% body fat.
Bulking
Depending on individual, i prefer to look lean year round and i prefer the body now compared to previously where i hit 75kg. I feel much stronger now and the energy i feel more energetic. I don’t get restless during the day and my energy is more constant.
Fasting makes your body uses more fats instead of carbohydrates as energy!
Recently i just did a CSC 15km run fasted and the feeling was fantastic, no dip in energy no lack of energy during the run as well.
I have been trying to get more information on Fitness Related stuff, to me it is really on how to let our body use fats as energy. I find that my body is really adapting well with Paleo. So now i want to test if it is fasting that leans me or my diet. So i have decided to stop my intermittent fasting so i can up my calories intake.
I am going to go for a 12 weeks full Paleo or you can call it the Primal Diet
Primal or Paleo lifestyle to me is basically, no grains, no processed no high sugar food.
I also want to maintain my carbohydrate level between 100 to 150grams a day.
Limiting my carbohydrates intake to only postworkout or early in the morning if i am not working out on that day.
My Goal for this 12 weeks is to hit 75kg at 8% body fat.
Everybody got different aim my goal is to be able to lift heavy, do long distance endurance and look aesthetic(super human)
I welcome any question or feedback. You can leave a comment or email me at heechaiong@gmail.com
Been training for a few years now but i have yet to get to the standard of those shredded fitness model. I always thought that training was the most important part to getting shredded, until now. Supplementing and dieting has help me a lot in my physique these few months.
leaner
But my physique is still far from what i want to achieved.
I have been wanting to get as shredded as f**** like some fitness model I have been following. To just name a few they are lazar angelov, rob riches and Greg plitt.
Greg Plittlazar angelovzyzzRob Riches
To achieve that first I need to try to be as close to what they are taking or eating as possible. So I have decided to take this stack as our NutriMan contestant are getting so shredded with this stack.
Other than bcaa, glutamine, multi vitamins, fish oil, vitamin e, ALA and beta alanine ( i will talk about these supplements in another post )and now I got myself a fat burner – musclepharm – shred matrix, a Pre training musclepharm assault and a protein shake – musclepharm combat powder for recovery.
This will be what I am gonna take for this month to get shredded and to build more lean muscle as well.
Combat, Assault, Shred matrix
Morning before breakfast 6am
1 serving of shred matrix
1 serving combat powder
Before lunch 1pm
1 serving shred matrix
Pre training 530pm/ no training no assault needed.
1 serving assault
Post training 730pm/ no training combat 1 serving can be taken before bed.
1 serving combat powder
Nutrifirst is currently having a event now, it’s called NutriMan by NutriFirst, and all the contestant are getting shredded with this stack. Can’t wait to get shredded with this stack too and there is a promotion price as well.
Heard of this – its not what you eat but the time you eat?
It’s all about how to let your body use more fats as energy to burn out those stubborn fats in your body! Now i am going to unveil to you how it is done!
So here is a simple story by me on how to burn more fats.
For example, you are going out shopping today, the item you are buying is $50 and your wallet only got $25, so naturally you will go to the bank and withdraw another $25 to purchase that item right? So if you are eating food before your workout, even worst high carbohydrate food! Your Wallet will be full! Minimum withdrawal from the bank (stored energy (fats)). Which is not what we want to achieve.
Your body will start leaning out on the arms and followed by your legs then your body, how gauge if the diet is workout is by the vascularity of my arms. This is something i read from the book, your body fats is stored in a way that you must be able to escape from danger if needed. So if thinking logically, the best place to store your fats will be the center. So arms, legs then tummy.
quads with veinsveins of my forearmsleaner
To Optimize fat burn, here is my routine.
5am – consume 5gram BCAA 2.5 gram glutamine
515am – workout
615am – consume 5 gram BCAA 2.5g glutamine
10am – first meal
I always like to give my body a few hours buffer after workout to optimize fat lost, after workout your body is looking for energy to burn. But there is also a lot of other saying that immediately post workout you must consume protein and other stuff as it is the anabolic window. You just got to try everything and see what produce the best result for you.
Always keep an open mind and make some gains!
I would like to thank NutriFirst for sponsoring the CSC Run By the Bay. Special help from Doris and Yang from CSC for getting me the tag to run. Fresh air and great running group during the race made this a truly enjoyable one.
Met some great running – a lady who tried her best to follow up despite her gasping for air.
A 60 years old man who is running at a good pace
a petite young lady who i gave up chasing after the 12km mark! She was really quick; she can still have time to do a selfie while running.
Lastly there is this ang mo lady who I met during the last 2km, she told me she would catch up and over take me and she really did catch up in the end and we finished the race together.
Strong is no longer a word that only man can use.

Val Tape
spotted this new tape, one of the booth at the CSC run.
Tape on with my Gasp and Vibram 🙂
Quality is not so bad, slightly stickier than RockTape so when you are trying to peel it off it hurts alitte more. Price is much cheaper but limited design. ($20 a roll)
Amino energy and optimum pre
Free Amino Energy and Optimum Pre Samples give away! gotta try them for my workout!
California Trainer
Poly Friend who is now a trainer at California Singapore. Ask him for Personal Training at Zoron Koh
Run Timing
Immediately after the race there is ice cold 100 plus and banana together with the medal given to you. No queue any way regardless is taking your bag. There is a red bull and milo station there as well. (free milo and red bull) Overall it is worth the trip and i would love to go again!
Despite having a bad ache on my legs due to legs training on a Thursday i am still able to clock a decent timing. Most probably it is due to the highly motivated group of runner who is around and my HIIT training! Next up will be aiming for my 42km standard chartered run! More Hiit to come!
Per Entry rate for 21 years old and above is $5. Below 21 years old is $4 per entry.
gymm boxx bishan
40cents locker
The locker require you to pay $0.40 to use, a lot of people just place their item into the locker without paying (no lock) which is not very safe in my opinion. So i did paid for it!
Next is the gym does not provide towel! So please remember to bring your own towel!
gymm boxx xxl bishan
This is the first half of the gym! Best part about this gym, 4 sets of dumbbells rack! Lots of Benches!
Traps Bar!
Here we see a rare bar! Good for doing shrugs and deadlift!
They have the rear delts flyes machine and the seated calf raises as well!
Gymm Boxx XXL in my opinion is a great gym to go to! Located at Bishan CC which is 5min away from the Bishan MRT station. Memebership fee is $165 for 3 months with a one time membership fee of $30! Price is still quite reasonable but, towel and locker is the main issue. In my opinion it is a gym with fantastic equipment but if you want quality service it will be better to pay the extra $30 to join True Fitness/California/Fitness First. Crowd here is also younger, ranging from 16 to 24.
Thanks for reading, for more information do check out Gymm Boxx website here.

but if you looked around you. You will be able to find a lot of skinny fats around. Like the picture above (skinny arms and legs with a big tummy and some may have man boobs.)
Why is this happening? What causes us to stall so much fat at our tummy area?
Due to our lifestyle right now, we hardly used up all the energy in our body and at the same time we load in a lot of energy. Fats are stored energy, but how come we are not using them?
Our body actually forgets how to tap fats as energy because of our new eating habit. High Carbohydrates diet. Your rice (yes brown rice included), bread, noodle, pasta, fries, cereals and sugary drink (processed fruit juice is also included)
I thought Pasta, Bread, Brown rice , cereal with milk and Packed fruit juice is healthy!
Carbohydrates if not use by the body will be stored as fats so you will be able to use the energy later. What happens now in our lifestyle is that we are having too much carbohydrate. A typical breakfast will be bread, lunch will normally have rice and dinner we may take in pizza or pasta. Even if we workout that day, the body will choose to use up the carbohydrate (glucose) in our body first (example : will you use the money in your wallet first or the money in your bank)
So how can we use fats as energy?
1. Do fasted (no food) workout in the morning!
a. When you just woke up and your blood glucose in the body has been depleted! In this way your body will try to use more fats as energy as there are no more glucose left!
2. Consume low carbohydrates meals! Best if you only consume your carbohydrates meal after an intense workout!
So what kind of carbohydrates should we choose? Why are grains not good?
Let me introduce you to our Glycemic Index scale. It is use to track the blood glucose level in the body after consuming carbohydrate.
**A surge in blood glucose in the body will cause the insulin (insulin is like a police, glucose is like thief. Insulin job is to put the glucose to Jail) will be call upon to store them as fats.
The higher the GI number (row 1) the more blood glucose there is.
Don’t agree or like what i just said? Prove me wrong!
Take measurement of your
Weight
Body fat percentage (can be taken at the gym)
*Best if you can have measurement of your arms, chest, waist, hips and thigh.
Do fasted workout in the morning. 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) – Any kind of workout for 45min every morning!
Change your eating habit. (Example below)
Breakfast – (4-5 eggs (with 2 yolks)) plus apple
Lunch – Chicken Chop (sides Veggie)
Dinner – Grilled Fish (sides veggie and potato)
Follow for 30 days!
Drop me an email so I can keep you motivated, answer your question and complete the 30 days together! heechaiong@gmail.com – subject : 30 day challenge!
Some other Important Facts
** High carbohydrates (e.g. ice cream) spike blood glucose which in turn raises your “Serotonin” happy feeling for a while and the body sends out a large amount of insulin as the sudden rush of sugar causes the body to go into emergency. Then you will have a dip in blood sugar and your body feels that it is out of energy, you feel tired and restless because your blood glucose level is low and natural reaction when you feel that you are out of energy you will go for second round of food!
**How diabetes happens?
If beta cells don’t produce enough insulin, or the body doesn’t respond to the insulin that is present, glucose builds up in the blood instead of being absorbed by cells in the body, leading to prediabetes or diabetes. http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/causes/
**So if you spike your insulin everyday slowly it will get less sensitive and need to produce more insulin to bring down the glucose in your blood stream. Eventually the system breaks down and you are unable to clear the glucose and you get your diabetes.

Other Mr Olympia who came out with their own series
I want to start the post by asking you to watch this video on how a normal tape can affect the movement of a cat. Animal cant lie if something affects them. – shared by www.rocktape.com.sg
What is Rocktape?
Rocktape is a natural-hybrid product and consists of 97% cotton, 3% nylon and uses no drugs. The adhesive is a hypo-allergenic acrylic based adhesive and contains no latex. When we manufacture Rocktape, we introduce a bias into the weave of the fabric so it stretches in one direction and not the other.
Rocktapes creates what we call a bio-mechanical lifting mechanism which lifts the skin away from the soft tissue. This allows blood to move into an injured area which accelerates healing and recovery. Rocktape is also great for correcting tracking issues in knees, shoulders or elbows. It can also be used to correct posture problems including those associated with pregnancy.
Rocktape gives a 180% elongation ( which means a 10 cm tape can be stretch to 18cm)
Tighter weave compared to other tapes
Longer lasting adhesive (personally I tried it on for 2 days and it still sticks nicely)
Method of taping which I learn from the course! (sharing for free!)
1. Muscle Injury/ Strain
hands on!
taping!
taping the quads
every one paying attention!
my quads
a. First we must understand that if the muscle injury/strains/tear is too much rocktape will not work.
b. Applying the tape will helps to facilitate painfree movement, reduce swelling/bruising and help to sense body position if we are in a bad body posture.
c. 3 steps to tape!
i. Stretch the body part
ii. Stabilization tape (stretch tape 50%)
iii. Decompression tape (stretch tape 80%)
2. Swelling Reduction Taping
for more blood flow!
a. Good for Grade 3 muscle tear *application of rocktape on after 48 hours of RICE therapy (rest, ice, compression, elevate)
3. Body sense and Postural Control Taping
being tape by the doctor
a. Helps to place the body back into the right posture. The tape basically act as a reminder when you over stretch your muscle and you have to use your own muscle strength to pull back to the right position.
4. Power Taping
Power taping
a. Helps with varies kind of sports to improve the power output, didn’t get to touch on this topic much this time round as they have a separate course for that! Would love to join that! www.rocktape.com.sg
Photo during the event!

Of course there are more usage for Rocktape like how to help with “shin splints” and “plantar fasciitis” attend their course to learn more!

True Fitness is located at the 4th floor of the Djitsun Mall in Ang Mo Kio. Location is pretty accessible with good dining location nearby(e.g. astons).
The ambience of the place is very soothing, music playing will be more of a soft pop. With blue lighting with makes the place a really comfortable place to train.
As you can see here the gym free weights area is not very big. Only 4 benches. As compare to their cardio area which takes up a lot of space.
1 incline , 1 flat bench , 1 decline leg press. That’s all for the free weights area.
A better view of the free weights area.
Heaviest dumbbell there is 32kg.
Best part about the gym will be these hammer strength machine. 2 chest 2 back. Right at the end there is this pec deck flyes machine for your rear delts and chest flyes (*rare machine).
Cable areas 2 lats pull down and 2 seated row. 2 smith machine and 1 squat rack.
The gym focuses more on cardios, machines and stretching. Excellent for those couple or young office ladies or men who is looking for a place to mingle and train.
Check it out if you are free! They give free 1 week trial pass! Just walk in and check it out with their friendly staff 🙂
I just ordered this awesome pre-workout online. Cant wait to get my hands on it!
Check out this post for my review on this #gamechanger
Finally MusclePharm Assault has arrived
Product Packaging
The main difference in this new version is their Athlete Performance Blend – ArgiNitrate, Bcaa Nitrate, CreNitrate which is said to be more effective. Nitrate dilates the blood vessels so it will enhance and blood flow and helps with the distribution of the nutrients.
Next is their Purenergy –
Some information about purenergy
A sustained energy boost*
A reduction in the amount of caffeine needed in a formulation to produce tangible results*
The creation of a more moderated and gradual finish, preventing the “crash” experienced with caffeine products*
The optimization of natural appetite-suppressant properties*
Additional functional health benefits found in pTeroPure pterostilbene*
made up of 43% Caffeine and 57% pTeroPure
As you can see the chart i have gotten from ChromaDex shows a big difference between caffeine(bottom bar) and purenergy(top bar). As you can see caffeine started off with a higher amount of concentration but after the first hour the caffeine dips rapidly but purenergy is still on the rise. Purenergy peaks at the 2nd hour and starts to drop graudually.
inside assault
MusclePharm do it differently from other competitors, as you can see here they even added in the pillow pak to abouse humidity and odor. Awesome!
quality of the powder
Drinking the Assault – Taste.
Great mixability, i prefer the taste of this version of Assault compared to the previous version.
In my opinion i can feel that the effect of this preworkout kicks in faster than the usual one that i took.
It doesn’t gives me the sudden spike in energy, i can feel focus thru out my workout.
Minimum crash afterworkout as well, but some how i feel that it suppresses my appetite as i feel full after a meal (which dont normally happen).
Took the product about 6 hours before bed time and i have no problem sleeping.
Overall i think that this is a new breakthrough for preworkout in the industry and it is worth a try. Thanks for reading!
MusclePharmT-shirtsuper soft poly-cotton tee is key for looking unrelenting in the gym and the streets. Made with the comfort and style only MusclePharm Sportswear can provide.
My view
I am so happy that I am able to review this awesome T-Shirt by Musclepharm. First of all the design of the T-shirt really caught my eye, “BEAST MODE”, WEAK END HERE and many more!
The cotton is slightly stretchable; Material is not too thick suitable for Asian country like us in Singapore. Good to use for bodybuilding, running, cross fit or any kind of sports! It can also be worn when you are out as it is fashionable as well! Best of all It doesn’t stinks up after you a hard sweaty workout!
After a few wash the shape of the t-shirt still remains. Not much expanding of the t-shirt. *2 thumbs up!
Rating
9/10 flashy design, good quality material, doesn’t stinks up.
MusclePharm is the upcoming supplement brand around the world. Recently they just sign with Arnold and MusclePharm Arnold Series product will becoming out soon!
Fishermen Scuba is one of the oldest dive school around, they are very strict with their standard and always watch for safety. You can be sure that you are in good hands when you dive with fishermen team!
Located next to paya lebar mrt station. Take exit C once you arrive, less than 5 mins walk you will be able to reach them.
My second time diving with them, overall it was a pretty good experience.
Our Bus to Mercing
We left fishermen at about 8pm and arrived woodlands checkpoint at about 9pm, huge jam there and it took quite some time for us to go in. *take note they will ask each of the diver to pay $10 ringgit so we can keep our equipments and bag on the bus. They use this to clear the customs.
Dive Gear and my bag pack for me and my buddy
There will be one stop before reaching Mercing, so better go to the toilet at woodlands checkpoint or at the stop(petrol kiosk). We arrived at Mercing about 150am.
Took a 4 hours boat ride to arrive at Dayang, there is a aircon cabin below but i choose to sleep at the 2nd deck as i get motion sickness easily in air conditioned room.
Fishermen own the boat!
Check in to our room at Dayang, air conditioned room 2 king size bed for 4 person, the only bad thing was that there was no water heater for the shower. Electricity will be off for a certain time slot around 9-5pm.
Woke up at 730am to get prepared for our first dive! You wont have much time to sleep, try to sleep as much as possible on the boat and on the bus!
My Magic Pill
Pop a Zyrtec-D (you can get it at your guardian pharmacy.) This will help with my sinus as it dries up the mucus and helps me to equalize better during the dive. Take 1 tablet every morning 3 days before the dive then take 1 tablet every morning before the dive!

As a Health and Fitness Blogger, the food is still quite clean to me, i ate like 10 eggs, quite a lot of chicken wings, satay and plenty of fruits in that 2 days! Even thou i told myself to junk as it is a holiday! Some how my mind doesn’t allow it, i guess i am just too used to the junk-less diet.
Thanks for the wonderful memories. Will be back in the sea real soon!
Fear of Drowning while Diving?
Diving is a safe sports, if you follow the dive master instructions, know your equipment well and stay in a group. The risk of drowning is very low.
Do you need to know how to swim to dive?
Nope, you just need to be comfortable in water to dive.
