In September 2017, people especially my friends asked me on the journey of achieving the body shape. Even one of my friends thought I took steroids, but it was merely hard work. Took me 7 months and a lot of sweat and blood.
A little context, the selfie was taken in the gym room of Xiamen University Malaysia early in the morning. I was courageous enough to take off my shirt at that time because no one was around.
No shortcuts.
During my leisure time, I'll be listening to workout advice by Hany Rambod, and Jeff Nippard on YouTube. Jay Cutler, the four-time Mr. Olympia winner was trained by Hany Rambod using the FST-7 workout routine. That's why I followed the FST-7 workout routine closely, and trained as hard as possible.
It was the pressure I put on myself, such as to achieve excellent academic results during my foundation studies in 2017. Obviously, it was not healthy to be living like that, but I have no regrets up until now as I've got nothing to lose. So during that period, I was so committed on mainly two things: body reinvention & academic excellence.
Also, don't forget the chicken rice. Definitely needed the protein.
