I am DAMN BORED.

Says the title.
LIKE FUCKING SERIOUSLY. ARGHHH

Pissed with poly but whatever, even more pissed with my movements. Landings are all cocked up now, I seriously need a new shoe! There's are couple of landings I remembered that buckled or landed on the arch, which I can seriously feel that goddamned impact all the way from ankles to knees, not to mention to over rounding and lean of my back.

Ever seince boxfit got closed, and never went to gym for deloading, and yesterday I struggled so hard for a 70kg squat, which is seriously warm up weights for me in the past. WTF MAN. Major regression ever since the 1rm day. Form gone haywire, shaking at the bottom of the squat, and my knee hasn't been that great as well. But all other lifts are fine. I just need to get back into gyming lifestyle. Such a hard commitment considering you are already tired from all the school shit. That's not much improvements in leg strength either. My knees are in deep shit if shit landings and shit squatting forms continues...

Need to get back to regular 3 days a week gyming but I doubt time suffices. Like I've mentioned in my personal blog, really need extreme time management. The feeling of going to poly, although can be fun with friends and all, is like going there just to wait for time to past and then you can fuck off... fucking slaves to Singapore's laws, how gay can it get?

Wallpasses still weak, no improvement in like 8 months, and really lazy to start editing videos and shit. Only have weekends to jam and I seriously need to cherish those times left. Tampines no longer and 'spot'. Like that, have to travel to Punggol to do some training, at thats like the nearest already, taking roughly 45minutes to get there. Bishan and Sengkang/Buangkok are the other options, Clarkequay too, but seriously, without castle, trainings like very mafan.

And i'm really not working towards my goals, money management isn't very good. Neither is fixing my body clock.

Fuck it, I hope this repeated cycle gets into my system soon and I'll get to train, work, study without any sense of boredom and irritation.

New year new goals.

Alright is 2010 already, and time for serious business.

It is increasingly evident that my landings and focus are turning from bad to worse in the past trainings, and so that's the first working point to work on. Basics. Drill perfect precision landings and landings into roll - something that I've neglected right from the start.
Weaknesses - Wallpasses, something that I need to get consistent in, and stop relying on grip to get good in it. Not just the height in the kick, but also the fast transition from grabbing the ledge to pulling yourself up and over. Speed is key.
Flips. 2007 was the year where I landed my first frontflip and 2010 today, I still can't land it upright properly. What a fail. Seriously need to polish it up and I'm intending to do it right from tomorrow. Roundoff back to be alot better. Sideflips more height and control, especially in the landing - aiming to get sideflip gaps soon. Stop having those days where you flips and jumps are so high but the next day everything is so sloppy. Move on to concrete with better landings and less hesitations. Get back my gainer and move on to wall tricks, twists, corkscrew.
Fine I got a 100kg squat, so what? Unable to transit that to real life power? No significant improvement in leg strength so I really need to work on leg power. Simple plyometrics with good rest intervals and low reps, aiming for one time near maximal power output with good landings. Shall do so with pulling power too.
Nowadays for PK I aim for getting each attempt landing at the first try. Good job and I should keep it up. Focus for every attempt and give it your best, while maintain awareness fully. And its stupid to drill single movements without putting them into real runs, which is the most important. Speed and flow. Need to link up movements, flips included.
SDC already good enough so I don't really wanna over-prioritise it. Just stick to the get a new goal every day. And for running jumps, aim for alot of height. Learn the landing part of running speed plant.

Actually all the above goals were long ago, just that I've haven't got my head into it to work on it properly. Really stupid.

The 3 new years resolution in my personal blog:
Lower the expectation level and live life the way it should be lived.
Spread the love and lessen the hate. Acceptance.
And to further improve myself as an individual, physically and mentally.

Not-so-fun life.

I'll go through today first.
Boxfit Tampines was closed for the time being, what news. No - rather, what TIMING. Irritating. So I had to settle to a further destination, Boxfit @ Eunos CC. Went there today, had to take sometime to settle down abit, quite retarded, I'm not sure if the bar and weights are the same, but I had to assume so, as it should and probably are the same. Form today wasn't the best of things, it didn't felt like my 92.5kg max-outs or the other days. I just don't have the feeling, pullups was feeling weak as well. I rested fully the day before, but, oh well, maybe let's not rely on feelings. So I squatted, 100kg. First rep turned out awesome, should've stopped there and then, finished, to pullups. But I went for the 2nd rep, bad form, overly leaned forward. Still, complacent, went for 105kg, squatted the worse rep of my entire career of lifting. This is not a question about being pumped enough or focussed enough, but whether it is too heavy. I underestimated a 5kg weight difference affectation. Thought it was easy. But no. Went for a solid 100kg rep again, but not good enough. Sure I can say I can squat 105kg, but honestly, I should've settled for 100kg one rep.

Pullups didn't turned out any better. Firstly it was the distance that ruined my mood, second the squats, thirdly the unfamiliar environment, and coming here already not have the 'gym-feeling', thought that this testing day couldn't've been worse. I did managed a good 30kg x 3reps, but struggled at the 35kg x1 (used to be able to do 37.5kg), and was fucking forceful in the 40kg, so no improvements. I need to tell myself that my 1rm testing days are not days that you push yourself to the BARE MAXIMUM. Your body isn't godlike, as if it can handle any weight you think it can handle. I hate the feeling when shorten the lifespan of my body joints/tendon/ligaments. Also, it could also be probably a bad routine that I created in the first place, I should be starting a new workout routine during March, but I'm not aiming for any big gains, just improvements in the weight range that i'm comfortable handling with.

Now that I watched my past year's strength training videos at the gym, I can say I improved quite alot, especially pullups. Didn't hit the target of OAC, not even close to it at all, but I can say I seriously underestimate the difficulty of it. And I really don't have much motivation to train it at all. Next year I should at least feel that I'm not far away from an OAC, and should hit 50kg pullups. Squats, hopefully 110kg x 3reps. 120kg x1 maybe, at least a 2x bodyweight squat, something I haven't achieve this year as well. I'll play by ear, and not expect too much of a gain again. get it.

And since the boxfit in tampines is closed, I'm lazy to go all the way to eunos CC all the time, and I hate that swimming complex gym, so I guess I'm on a hiatus till 4th jan. This period will be pure parkour training, explosive power!

But after that, later, in the evening, I went down for some small movements training, something that I've never done for quite a long time. I practiced my flips, sideflips are getting good now, i figured that I should untuck earlier in my fronts, and backflips is quite high too. I should be working on getting back my gainers soon, and then get my fronts/sides in combos outside. I significantly lost power in precisions involving height, should be working on that now. Still feel that the Simei SDC2LP is really far. I also figured my landings improved, softer now, but still need more control all the time.

Epic jammage rained heavily, quite a mood-ruiner, but still had fun with qayyim in the jelapang jam, indoor ramp was fun stuffs, small ramp but always new things to nail. Tic tac 2 pre, something rather new to me. Happy that I nailed it, but I should be wary that i take too much attempts before doing something. I need to focus more, still having occasional slip ups and that causes those bad landings or even bails that I should already have gotten rid off. I guess no point worrying about stuffs, just remember to not overpush myself, and focus, and control your landings.

Castle is gone, and its really sad, somehow, not having somewhere near to train all the stuffs that we all could train. Now torn down, all that remains is debris, sad to say...

Started editing arghrun, still figured i need more runs, more epic clips... more variety of people, should make a good edited film out of it. cp in motion 2 will be THE hit. just kiding, not hyping things up...

haven't felt too good about life at the moment, really boring, really monotonous, repetitive, same thing all day, really need to play my heart out, and money is getting in the way of it.

R.I.P Castle

taken from facebook, written by me.

"Castle, a playground renowned for the amazing stunts people does in it and its unique structural surfaces, makes it so great for youths and adults alike to enjoy and chill out till the latest of nights.

Located at Tampines, it is probably the sole surviving old school playground left in it. However, it fell to the clutches of some contractors who felt that playgrounds should only cater the needs of children from the age 6 - 12 years old. And the 'poor' design of it seem to be dangerous for young kids. Same for the 'Shoe' and 'Mushroom' playground, demolition is knocking at its door.

We all share the grief of not having this one-of-a-kind playground, where traceurs can come and hone their skills, where children had the fun times playing blindmice, where all teenagers slack their days away... fond memories are sure to be kept. Sad to say, all good things had to come to an end.

Too late to sign a petition for it, for it is already being fenced up and its mats being torn apart. However, we can still show our agitation towards its demolition."

"so many things yet to be accomplished. honestly i saw this coming.haven't we heard the warning months ago. we took the warning for granted, not thinking that the demolition would ever come. yesterday i trained at castle, and it was totally fine, except for a sighting of fences and plank nearby. that made me ponder about t...he possibility of it being used to demolish castle. but i pushed that inkling away. today morning's call informed me of the fencing up of the area. expected it, i totally had expected it.

p
eople would've regretted to not taking their opportunities, kept saying there'll always be next time. sadly, for castle, a playground where demolition would eventually take its course, there might not be a 'next time'. take this as a lesson learnt, to cherish whatever you have today, for you might not see it again tomorrow.

of course, its sad to see our finest go down into pieces. however, i'm happy to feel that i've came and conquered, cherished and celebrated, the one and only castle.

should've stuck a flag of PK:SG today."

R.I.P Castle.

Thinking, thinking, thoughts.

Quite bored now.
Don't know why but I've been noticing an increasing loss of leg power over the days, landings became shittier, distance and height lesser, explosiveness now little to none. Months back, some even years back, I believe I can nail the precisions without much hesitation and quite nicely controlled. Don't just say legs, pulling power as well, my muscleups and climbups deteriorated, seems like I'm getting weaker the more I train. Maybe it is the weight that I'm gaining, or I just need some time to regain all my explosiveness after my testing day.

I realise I never really 'train' properly. My training consist low drilling intensity and general mucking around, no real intentions of improving myself, just testing new things or moving around, I need serious drilling, alot of them. If I go to a spot I at least to do a movement that I want to do at least 10 times, each of them with maximum focus. I don't want failed/screwed-up attempts. And I have been neglecting my rolls, stupidly. Secondly, I should keep going for runs, not single moves after single moves. Where's the application, and variety, and efficiency? Mundane trainings makes your body adapted to the same thing, so really, no point. Thirdly, as far as pushing my limits goes, once I hit more then 5 attempts, I should stop, earlier the better. And I should be aware of my posture in midflight, and the landing especially.

And time to really polish up my flips. Roundoff, the slantedness in my backflip, standing front, and gainer. You know, kinda like working on different movements, weaknesses, instead of strengthening your strengths. Imbalances can suck, alot.

Gym training somehow is getting good, 90kg x3x3 was good, I wonder if I can hit 95kg x2x2. 100kg is a must. Deadlifting 100kgx1 for 3 sets this weak, 27.5kgx5 pullups. Bench presses to me not so important, just maintaining really. About 4 more routines till my actual 1rm testing day. I can't wait. Seriously need to have focus while gyming. At this point, form is imperative. After this routine and all ready to power up and transfer all that I've train into the outside world. Deloading and then working on front squats, and plyometrics.

Essentially two videos that I want to create.
Lack inspiration, but no worries, I'll get them well edited.

ARGHRUN! aka 'A.M.A Showreel'. TBR New Year.
CP: In Motion 2. TBR March 2010.

Ah well, no point writing down more, as I already know what I should do.

2 weeks into 'holidays'.

Here's what I got in mind. Part-time job and train all the way, till schools start. Since I need money anyway. Yeah but I won't be working so much, 3 times a week will do. Training's priority, since now I got the time. Job is a something that I need to do to serve as a money-supplier and get working experience. I really have to juggle my priorities well, fit them into a schedule and fend off laziness and procrastination. Shouldn't waste time really, whether or not the O's are over. So save up money, cut down on unnecessary expenses, spend wisely, and finally you gonna have money for LONDON! Next year June will be the year. Hopefully by then I would have 1 or 2 companions. Thats enough, really.

I really want to train to a level where I'll be confident to achieve stuffs in London and Lisses. I don't wanna go there and not be able to really train at all. But I need to understand that for everything, there's always limits. As long as I know when is going too fast or doing too much, I should be sailing just fine. Push myself a little bit is fine, but know when to stop. I can't dream for too much in such a short time. Just keep on training, train hard, train smart. Basics - the most important. Remember to be aware at all times. Full effort each attempt - No half-hearted/unfocussed/done-on-impulse movements. Clear your mind and do it. Constant repetitions, do the best you can for all reps. Work on weaknesses - Wallpasses. Buildering. Climbups. Rolls. Aim for control and all. Height in your sdcs. Getting over high obstacles quick.

Strength trainings on the other hand, I still have the goal in my mind 100kg squat for 1 bloody rep. I think I'm just gonna go gym at least 3 times everywhere (now that it is raining it seems like 4 times is possible too though). I think I'll start the routine very soon, but I'm not sure whether it could work it especially there's so many things that could possibly screw things up - last minute plans, woke up late, chalet, school and work. But yeah I'm just gonna do it. Pullups strength incredibly slackened, but I shall work on it. Deadlifts is so damn easy, but I need to drill them consistently for my back. Let's start the squat fever again, I lost it for so long.

Gonna get my frontflip polished and back up on form, and then drill running gainer and gainer off platform, whipback, roundoff back, slowly stop the slantedness of my backflip too. Train really good standing sides and powerful front, tighter tucks. Move on to concrete, get crane to sides. Softer landings, controlled one by one landings. Don't fight fear, neither do you succumb to it, rather let it go naturally. I believe I'm gonna go to twists once all the above are achieved.

Alright lets not talk so much, you know what you should do.
