Feels great after a good run!

Following faithfully.. as much as possible

Been following my workout routine faithfully Set A and Set B on alternate days and follow by a cardio day.

However, I feel uneasy if I dont get to do any cardio on alternate days, looking at my present plan. It will be 2 days of "rest" before the next cardio. Hopefully this will not hamper my progress in fat loss.

The kind of food I am taking now is hard to control, as much as possible I try to control the amount I take.

Finally decided on my workout routine

Due to fear of back injuries and confuse on wat kind exercise I want to do, I decided to get the book "Strength Training Anatomy" by Frederic Delavier. I liked the contents with illustration on the method, pictorial view of muscles involved in the particular exercises and warning on posture.
Which helped me in deciding how I am going to workout my body:

SET A:

Bicep Curls (Cant do chin-up properly for nuts..)
Push-ups (preferably Bench press but I dont any space for a bench :p)
Front Barbell Squats
Dumbbell Lunge

Set B:

Barbell Deadlift
Bent Over Barbell Row
Shoulder Military Press
One-Arm Dumbbell Row

I realised that I am missing out the Biceps Femoris area. I will be adding Good Morning to my routines

No Strenuous exercise

Had a tooth extraction on 14 July, pain as hell –> no workout allow –> sad as hell!

15 July: Felt better and manage to do some upper body exercises, giving the legs some chance to recover.

I miss cardio

Most likely I am not pushing myself hard enuff for weights training (Still waiting my weights to be delivered..), cause I feel better after a cardio day..

Fight back and some confusion as a beginner..

Did HIIT today with simple static exercises! woot! feels great!

I tried to read up on what kind of weight lifting a begginer should start with.. there were tons of articles which led to tons of confusion. In the end, I decided to just stick to those that exercise the most muscles like squats, lunges, chest press & shoulder press.

This is because for my goals to loose fats, and logically I would have to develop as much muscules as possible to burn fats and trying target specific muscules group. Hope it will work out fine for me.
