My muscles are aching from the best workout I've done in the past 3 months. I think it's best to keep my workouts like that: just 1 hour long, with some space for cardio and core after. I didn't feel the aches yesterday, but this morning the aching was so bad I swear, my shirt couldn't come off properly cos I couldn't raise my arms high enough. Great aches hurt well.

I know that last line doesn't make me sound very peace-loving and pacifistic, but whatever.

Here's an outline of my workout:

Lat pulldowns: 4 sets of 10-15 reps, weight marking 80-120

Close grip underhand lat pulldowns: 4 sets of 8-12 reps, 90-110

Seated rows: 4 sets of 13-15 reps, 36-51

Upright cable rows: 4 sets of 13-15 reps, 60-80

Machine shoulder press: 4 sets of 7-12 reps, 32-36

Machine vertical chest press: 4 sets of 7-12 reps, 54-64

Cable pushdown: 4 sets of 11-12 reps, 60-80

Cable curl: 4 sets of 9-12 reps, 60-80

(cable curl and pushdown done back to back, so one set consists of one set of pushdown and curl)

All those were the major exercises I did. I don't know what the minor exercises are called so I can't list them here. All of that takes about an hour, and is for a general workout. I don't mind repeating that on Friday.

Any suggestions to improve my workout are welcome!

Just to clarify, I'm not doing this to grow obscenely huge muscles. I just need to keep lean and in shape. I'm not into protein powder and I do not desire looking like a huge walking ball of muscle, so don't give me the O.O look when I tell you I've been working out and you tell me that I don't look buff. For some reason everyone keeps giving me that response, and it's getting a little off-putting. Balladeers can't look too muscular, if that's the justification that you want.

Also, I've been searching for job oppurtunities, performing oppurtunities and a good and reasonably priced hairstylist. I need someone to help me spruce up my image too... A little bit of presentation is needed if I want to hit the streets performing.

All this investment is in faith that I eventually will have places to sing in and that people are gonna hear me.

I'm an avid music lover. I love singing and (surprise surprise!) I actually sing in tune. Studied in a certain PAP kindergarten before moving on to LPS, then BBSS (which rocks), followed by PJC for PAE (which undoubtedly ALSO rocks) and lastly, ACJC (ROCKS THE MOST). I live in BUKIT PANJANG (not Choa Chu Kang or Bukit Batok), at Senja Grand, the new estate which forever undergoes upgrading (surprisingly without any noise).
