Arrived at Wong Hong Barbell Club at 1.30 p.m and graced by
Miss Momo herself. It was a blistering day and the sun was punishing
me with the much needed Vitamin D.

While waiting upon the arrival of the
participants, I did the usual. Sneaked and snapped the arena of fitness,
wellness and muscles; Wong's Barbell Club. It is equipped with the pseudo
machines like the cycling apparatus and treadmills for club members' warm ups
before hitting upon their designated exercises and weights. There is
also a bar specially for concocting healthy shakes for gym members to gain
their daily dose of nutrients before and after their workouts.

One of the most captivating moments while
wandering around the vast gym; is Wong Hong's trophy trove. I was immediately
mesmerized. My camera could not stop its snapping rhythm.I tried to
capture each achievement of Wong Sifu in its prowess. As I worked my way
through each trophies, I realized that the trophies that come in an array of
different shapes and sizes are not only a replica of attained success. But it
is a true potrayal of sweat, blood and perseverance which has earned
Wong Sifu his Mr. Asia title twice amongst many others. A true insignia for
motivation making me believe "Nothing is Impossible!!!"

Time strikes 2.30 pm when all the Youth
Training participants from all wakes and races arrive in unison to
grace the much looked forward event. Wong Sifu addressed the crowd, delivering
a detailed outlay for the training.
The training kicks off with Wong Sifu showing
the participants the proper way of bench press. He is particular about
positioning, the proper way of handling the weights and breathing measures. It
is a complete package.You want to do things the right way to properly develop
the desired muscles not the 'gung ho' manner where it may cause undesired
injuries.
As Wong Sifu takes them through the lateral press, lower chest, shoulder, traps, back and lower back. Wong sifu is there every step of the way, guiding, and encouraging everyone to try out in order to have a feel and understand the proper method of training. Wong Sifu is always there as well to spot and ensure that there will be 0 injuries in his gym.

After a group photo session, we proceeded below
for the legs training. I was amazed at the contraption named Hammer Strength.
Not many gyms in Malaysia actually have this amazing piece of equipment; where
it can be classified as somewhat elusive. Wong sifu must have put in a lot of
thought to have this machine installed for maximized training.
What is Hammer Strength? A brief explanation
for you all kind and eager readers.Hammer Strength's plate-loaded machines are
designed for users to load or unload the machine with plates of varying
weights. Many prefer to use these machines for safety reasons; there is a level
of control over the weight that is lessened when working with free
weights. In many gyms, machine users are perceived with a stigma by exercisers
who favor free weights and believe that such training produces superior
results. Loading machines with plates, a form of free weights, helps machine
users to exercise in a more comfortable setting.
The product line encompasses a multitude of
exercise needs. There are upper body, lower-body/torso, and ground base
machines; these cover exercises for raises, biceps, dips, adductors/abductors,
leg curls, extensions and presses, calf raises and curls, and squat lunges and
pulls, among others. Wong sifu graced all the participants and myself with the
squat demonstration of a proper squat; a leg muscle training where one utilizes
the strength of his or her legs to push the shouldered weight back up. The last
demo of the Hammer strength is Wong Sifu perched on it for an all round Q &
A session.
Warmest gratitude and regards to all the participants
