It has been a long journey. 2002 was the year that I signed up for a gym membership and picked up a pair of 5kg dumbbells for the first time. I was driven by the physique of a fitness model on Men's Health magazine. I remember that the very first exercise I did was a set of Chest Press with the 5kg dumbbells and it was a struggle. Boys always want to look good on the top.
.
For a very long time, I did not progress much. At one point, I shifted my focus to running as I thought I was better at that.
.
In the picture, I was on the chubby side in 2010 (bottom right). Then, I got very heavy in early 2012 weighted at 94kg in my effort to get bigger. Realizing that my effort to get bigger is heading to the wrong direction, I spent nearly 10 months to lose 22kg and definition of my abs are popping out for the first time.
.
Since then, I was too scared to put on size from 2013 to 2015 as I thought I would never see my abs again if I lose it. Vanity it seems but the fear is real. I avoided carbohydrate like a plague.
.
However, I was struggling to get better at my major lift. I know body weight could be one of the reasons. In an effort to put on size with the right direction, I started working with @trainasp crews. It seems like competing in men physique competition is a part of my destiny, I stepped on stage to compete without the intention to step on stage 6 months prior to the competition. My comp prep for my first comp started 6 weeks out. It was the easiest prep I've done. Since then, competition has become a drive for me to get better in the gym.
.
I must say that I have come a long way. And patience has rewarded me for what I deserve in my timeline. Everyone has different timelines. Mine is just a tad bit longer.
