ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JULY PG 2/12: GOOD BYE JUNE

.
30 June 2010. The first session of every month is always the Benchmark Assessment. The second session is always the ranking of recruits into their respective fitness level which are the Delta, Seals and Ranger. The benchmark timing is not the only factor that influenced the ranking of recruits. The forms & techniques, medical & health condition as well as their competitiveness and aptitude too, determines the recruit's ranking. Although all the recruits have already been given their respective rank, Sarge Dann, or the lead instructor will raised the recruits a level up or down based on his observation on the recruits fitness level during training. So be wary, you may be demoted or promoted a level up.

The Deltas are the cream and the fittest in the platoon. We should be aspired to grow-up (in a few months) and be like them. The rangers are the best spirited people.. I always look at Ranger Lizza Abdul Rahim for inspiratoin. Her determination during every workout... no matter how hard or strenuous the workout is, she will always smile and pushed herself without ever 'stalling... cheating'... unlike somebody.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Pahamin Rajab became a father 39 years ago when mum gave birth to Chempaka Emalin Pahamin, a year after their wedding on 23 July 1970. 40 years ago!!! Dad raised Chempaka Emalin without any 'Father-Hood' experience but I was lucky, Dad has had 3 years of raising Chempaka Emalin by the time I was born. Less than a year of being pampered by Dad, Melor Edina stole the attention... and later Teratai Edithy Pahamin, Rose Emini Pahamin then Amnan Bazli Pahamin.

18 June 2010. 700 calories burn & free body scrub!!! Aiiiyaa.. Spilled out the beans... this was suppose to be the end orgasmic statement but was abit impatient. I mean, when was the last time you had your thigh, tummy and the inbetweenies scrubbed? very Kinkilicious..

Sarge Dann, Corporal Chun and LC Nawal were the Reds... and we were group-up for the Rope-Climb-Relay!!! This is exactly why I love the program at the Original Bootcamp (no this is not an advertisement) but this is exactly why it is so addictive!! At every session, there will always be something new!!!

To add up to the excitement, Freda Liu is back after a quiet disappearance to Penang where she carbo-loaded herself for the bootcamp.... or maybe she came to bootcamp to burn the loaded-carbo? We also had a new pretty & single recruit, Michelle.

11 June 2010. After the warm-up this morning, we escaped the G for AWOL and had a jogging road tour around the BU3/1 road instead.. Someone just could not say out the taboo word G... or the Grunts.  G was popularized by Yam Chan Siu Cheh. The partner of the recently celebrated birthday boy, James Fong.

The platoon was divided into two under Sarge Dann and by Corporal Chun. Sarge Dann was assisted by Lans Corporal (P) Erni and Corporal Chun by Lans Corporal Nawal.

Today was the FRIDAY SPECIALS... especially for those Friday night party-goers to be in short skirts and spaghetti string top.

CHIEF BRABON, FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR, ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP INTERNATIONAL

Chief Brabon as an avid runner, had completed his first marathon when he was 16 years old in 2:56:45 and his first Ultra-marathon when he was 18.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JUNE PAGE 5/12: LOVE TRIANGLE

.

9 June 2010.. We have all been through the Love Triangle relationship at some point in life either in friendship, romance, familial or pre-existing hatred between rivals and even sexual interactions. Recruits that have never been in any Love Triangle, were forced into one today with the Love Triangle Circuit (name not related to OBC-terms or names).

As the name implied, the love triangle comprised of 3 parties (aka stations) and usually someOne will be left feeling betrayed. However at the bootcamp, a guided polyamory was agreed and supervised by Sarge Dann and assisted by Corporal Chun, Lans Corporal Nawal and Lans Corporal (P) Erni.

There were three guided sets of polyamory in the Love Triangle. Sarge Dann guided the first set for a specific area...

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JUNE PAGE 4/12: BATTLE WITH ROPES

.

My arms, back & abs were still burning as I woke up this morning from yesterday's crazy 100 assisted pullups, 100 bench-presses and 100 decline situps at the gym. I had my fingers-crossed for some cardio workout at today's fourth June Original Bootcamp @ Bandar Utama session!! but we had more super upper body and abs workout!! SARGE!!! HAVE MERCY!! Next time, maybe should cross the leg instead.

When the Thailand government were battling Thaksin's 'red' supporters and the World against the Zionist regime in Israel whom blocked the aid mission convoy in international waters, we were BATTLING the ROPES in Malaysia field at Bandar Utama.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JUNE PAGE 3/12: PRISONERS OF WAR/POW RACE

.

4 JUNE 2010. The circuits prepared at the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP @ Bandar Utama (OBC-BU) targets at least a 500 calories burn for men and 400 for women DURING the 1 HOUR exercise. Through the Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOX), the body will continue to burn more calories throughout the day. The circuits at the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP is a cutting edge Metabolic Conditioning program that has been scientifically designed for ordinary people to achieve extra-ordinary result... the most sought after result is of course, fat burn, toning and athletic improvement.

To achieve at least 500 calories burn, OBC-BU core instructors actually performed the circuit before prescribing it to the recruits. All of OBC-BU instructors are fanatical with their own performances having a 'built-in' passion in more than one sporting-activities. Me.. being a recruit, and alongside other recruits with 'calories-counter' will verify those supposedly 500 calories burn!!! Freak? ...Mad?? yaaa.. Its good to be surrounded by people that share the same 'mad-passion'.... and its good to learn there is a PROGRAM designed for ordinary people to be mad... and get mad result.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JUNE, PAGE 2/12: THE GRINDERS & LIZZA ABDUL RAHIM

.
2 June 2010. Being a paparazzi the whole of last week during the trial week had taken a toll in my training consistency. This was exactly why we at KLA started the 100% ACE (Attendance, Commitment and effort). To avoid any lost in momentum and stamina if any sessions were missed but even with the consistency, it has been awhile since I had a good workout... maybe burned out... or perhaps had plateau in training.

We had a roll call and the warm up began at 5:45am sharp. As if the warm-up was not enough, the 5 sets of 30 seconds squat pulses for 5 AWOLS made us warmer.... and the additional 10 Grunts for late-comers boiled us hot. It was the first taste of squat pulses & Grunts to many new recruits.
