Malaysian Bodybuilding History Book.

First of all, a thousand apologies for not blogging for so long. I have been absolutely bogged down with work, both in and out of the gym that my mind was totally spaced out to even wanna think of writing. I will post some stuff down later on but in the mean time, enjoy this quick article.

Malaysian Bodybuilding History Book.
Now here is a book...FINALLY....that was written and compiled by a dear friend of mine, none other than Mr.Patrick Chin from Melaka. Mr. Chin took 2 pain staking years to compile, to the best of his ability, the pictures and record of the bodybuilders in Malaysia from both past and present era. You will be quite surprised to find out how well our Malaysian bodybuilders did, even wayyyyy back then...and we're talking as far back as the 50's / 60's.
 Some of the pages from the book just to have an idea....OH! And yes they spelled my name WRONG..it's GALLYOT  and not GALLYOU , hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

The book is only priced at RM20 and RM5 for postage within Malaysia. Overseas, please check with Mr.Patrick Chin.


For those who are interested to get their hands on this book, kindly contact the author personally.

ULTIMATE GYM - virtual tour.(continued)

If you have already watched the video we put together in my last blog, you may have noticed that there was an empty space next to the treadmills. Well that was because it was to be filled by a couple more treadmills which only came over the weekend after the video was launched. Anyway just so you folks know and could visually see how it looks like now...check out the photos.
ps. the stepper too has been changed to a better manual one. Now on, it will be a "work in progress" at Ultimate Gym.
PEACE ;)

ULTIMATE GYM - virtual tour.

A few weeks ago a couple of my gym members were playing around the gym, recording via mobile phone  some of the mischief we get up to and on how some members work out at ULTIMATE GYM. most of the videos are posted in ULTIMATE GYM's Fan Page on Facebook.

We seemed to get quite a lot of positive response since posting those videos up. So I decided that, if those videos were getting that many attention PLUS the number of people always asking me what kind of equipment range I have in the gym, I decided why not make a virtual tour of the gym instead. So one fine day...or night rather, one of my gym member brought his camcorder and did a walk through the entire gym, capturing all the facilities that is in ULTIMATE GYM then edited it with some effects and a background music. Of course we were just a bunch of amateurs doing this for fun but overall I think it came out pretty ok...has a very personal and friendly touch to it if I may say so.
With that, we decided to try and put together another video, this time it would a video of the members training...I think the next video is going to be more interesting!

Well, here's the video...a virtual tour of ULTIMATE GYM! Hope you guys enjoy it!

AGONY OF JOINT PAINS - Week 9

Today, 12th of June - Saturday, another late entry on my update of my consumption of Olivenol capsules. Apologies for the late entry which is largely due to my busy schedule with my clients here at ULTIMATE GYM.

Well I'm in my 9th week on this product. Most of my joints feel much better with the exception of my lower back and knees. However, the major problems ie.lower back and knees are showing  more signs of improvements. They do not seem to nag with pain now except after a gruelling workout which leaves me slightly sore the next day. I also have taken some necessary precautions such as avoiding squats and deadlifts or any other movements that would hit the effected areas too hard.

Hopefully another couple of weeks most of the pain would have gone. My problems have taken a bit longer to heal up largely due to the fact that I've been lifting weights for the last 24 years hence taking a toll on my joints. Thankfully, I was introduced to this product. It has certainly made a difference in my life and for those still having doubts, TRY IT! Honestly, you have nothing to lose. If it doesn't work on your joint problems, then it WILL certainly work in aiding to strengthen your immune system.

I probably still have a good couple of weeks supply left and will certainly update you readers of my progress. Till then...... PEACE!

AGONY OF JOINT PAINS - Week 8

Today, June 3rd Friday, 2 days late for my report largely due to matters that needed urgent attention at the gym .

Anyway, this is supposed to be my final week however since I still have extra supply, I will keep updating my progress until I run out of my supply. In my previous posts, I reported on how much pain reduced in my joints mainly the elbows,wrists and shoulders and in recent weeks the lower back and knees as well. My lower back has improved slightly but pain still comes and goes, a step better than before where it was perpetually in pain. This could be a sign of it healing. Kind of like the cartilage being repaired or rebuilt and isn't strong yet therefore some shifting and pressure on nerves still happens....better than having constant pain tho. Lets see if there will be more improvements to the lower back area in coming weeks. Afterall, this is one very delicate area and one cannot expect miracles.

 Till my next report
Peace!

AGONY OF JOINT PAINS - Week 7

Today 26th May, Wednesday marks my 7th week on Olivenol capsules. As those of you who have been following my progress, you will probably remember that I started out at an 8 out 10 on the joint pain scale and stagnated at 4 a couple of weeks back. Most of my joints like elbow, wrist and shoulder have improved tremendously....although there's still a slight pinching sensation every now and then when too much pressure is applied on them.

The biggest breakthrough last week was...my lower back! All along, the back and knees were the ones to lookout for. They were the real problem areas. However, sometime last week, something weird happened. I don't know if the supplement helped or maybe because the disc slipped back into position...but I woke up the next morning and the pain in the lower back had disappeared about a whopping 80% . I mean I will still feel some pressure if I stood up for long moments but most of the pain were gone. Now I'm carefully watching it so as not to get it busted again. The strangest thing was the knee...I believe it is linked to the lower back issue because as soon as the lower back felt better, the knees started feeling better too. Probably nerves being pinched as such.

Whatever the reasons for feeling better, I'm thankful because living with such pain day in day out can be pretty excruciating at times. Also I must say that Olivenol has actually played a part in my recovery and for that I feel a BIG THANK YOU is only appropriate. I still have supply for a couple more weeks so I will keep updating my progress until my supply runs out. Hopefully by such time, I will be more if not completely healed.

Till then, PEACE!

AGONY OF JOINT PAINS - Week 6

Today - 19th of May, Wednesday marks my 6th week on Olivenol capsules. It has worked well so far however from week 5 till present, i have not made any significant improvements due to the fact that I was down with flu followed by food poisoning. During the this period, which was almost the entire of last week, I stopped taking my capsules because it was so bad that even plain water would cause me to throw up so I didn't want to waste my supply of Olivenol.

I'm feeling much better now although a little drained still from last weeks fiesta, but have resumed my schedule with my capsules. Hopefully in the coming weeks I will continue to make progress with my joint recovery. As for the lower back and left knee, I feel they are somewhat connected. Due to the weakened lower back, probably some nerves are being pinched causing the pain to run all the way down to my left knee. Perhaps this matter has to be sorted out by either a chiropractor or a myotherapist.

So, this is the status as of now, sorry not much to report as I have been pretty out of commission for a while. Till next week...Peace!
