TOWARDS BUDDHA-FATHOOD

"The Buddhist figure named Hotei or Pu-Tai is better known as the jolly Laughing Buddha. In China, he is known as the Loving or Friendly One. He has become incorporated into Buddhist & Shinto culture and is based on an eccentric Chinese Ch'an (Zen) monk who lived over 1,000 years ago."

Now that's a pwerlifting gut. The fellow's got them WSB boys ashamed with their petty tummies. :)

I'm now down to get on with training again. I've been sick for about 1.5 months now. Coupled with an extremely busy studying schedule, I've lost a slab of weight again. I'm now down to 60kg. I haven't been this low in just about exactly four years. But I'll be back on my feet in no time.

My initial goal is to gain at least 0.5kg/wk.

Some of my PRs:

Squat:75kg
Deadlift:3x95kg
Snatch:40kg
Clean:55kg

NOW, LET US COMMENCE THE STRIVING TOWARDS BUDDHA-FATHOOD.

whY not like...

Zeus musclehood , not fathood

Funny part is the Buddha was near starvation-likely nearly dead from fasting when he attained enlightenment. He taught for 45 years and from accounts was not fat, at least for the majority of the time he taught.

MY not like...

Zeus musclehood , not fathoodHaha, it's just to forget the tiny six-pack I've got now, as it's gone soon. I might be leaner than ever in my life: veins popping in biceps, shoulders and even hips. That can become a mental trap.

IA, that's why I pasted the writing below the pic. He isn't supposed to portray Gautama. By the way, did you get my PM?

Sunday

~45 mins. cycling
~hr of soccer



I also walk for about an hour a day: two half an hour sessions or just one for about an hour. I try to consentrate just on the walking motion and relax.

Monday

I don't have any training program. Maybe it'd be sensible to have one? The only thing I'm definitely going to have set to stone is compound movements and striving for perfect form. I'll be implementing olympic movements, as I like them and have the form somewhat in my spine, though I haven't done them that much in a year or so.

Tomorrow will be the first time in the gym in loong time. We'll see how it goes..

Tuesday

Lower body

Stick action
Snatch pull: up to some fives with 40kg
Raw clean:1x40kg (felt dizzy after ha1)
Clean pull: a set of five with 50kg
Hanging leg raise:30,21
Leg mobility work

Boy did I feel weak! And the numbers don't show anything else ;). The 10kg plates felt like 15-20kg when I was carrying them to the barbells. Didn't feel that much lighter on the bars either. But it was all fun nonetheless.

Lean muscle or just fat? If it's muscle you should develop a plan for both in the gym & what to eat.

[L.U.V.]

Well, here's what I've come up with so far:

Training

day one: lower body

Day two: upper body

Day three: (p)rehab/form work

Eating alot (preferring whole, healthy food), stretching and walking daily. Whaddya think?

[L.U.V.]

Thu

Upper body

A few minutes of rowing, stick action and dynamic stretching
Push-ups:5,5,6,4
Scarecrow: (12,15,12)x0.75kg
Upper body mobility work



edit 4-6

i'll close this for now.
