Day Four. 666 Method

Arms. My favorite part of a workout. Why? Because arms are the definition of how hard you worked for everyone else to see. Unless you're a female, the first part a person will notice on another whether he is in shape or not are the arms. The 666 Method does do a good workout on them. If I'm honest though, it is a bit vague arm workout; not to say it's not intense but.. it works too many groups in one day. Not concentrated enough. I'd prefer to spend at least 40 - 60 minutes on a arm muscle alone if I could. Especially biceps. I am getting the feeling the 666 method is a routine to gain overall body results in a fast period. I guess fine tuning parts to your certain liking is upon the person. Which it should be. Today I blew through my workout with absolutely no hitches at all. All the sets, all my cardio done and it felt great. Today was a good workout. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to SEMA with my friend Marc in Las Vegas, Nevada. Can't wait for the booth babes. :P

Day Three. 666 Method

So today I pretty much did all Cardio today. The 666 Method told me to do that on thursday but, since my muscles were in such pain today. I altered it myself. Hah. Had a pretty fun today, saw my friend Jessica Perico there as I arrived. Practiced some random Taekwondo kicks for about 40 minutes, then I went and chilled with some guys for about 20 minutes and watched them Jiu-Jitsu Wrestle. Dennis says it's only gay if you make eye contact. hahahah. Met some new people today, new friends; good time. I only caught one of their names. Afterwords I went and worked a good run on the eliptical and finished off my workout nicely. A calm and relaxing workout day was just what I needed after being so intense for so long. I found it a exhilerating change of pace. A pace that shouldn't be abused but none the less, once a while you gotta kick back. Sorry about not reporting the computer build, perhaps tomorrow. :]

Day Two. 666 Method.

Alright so today was a tad better. No accidents really. I worked mainly on back today and I could already feel halfway through my workout that there was no way my body was going to have room for any cardio. I don't know what it is with this workout; it's just killer. Anyways I was better than yesterday but still at times struggling to stay focused on my time limit and sometimes zoning out. Other than that I flew through it roughly. Right now I feel soreness; which is kind of unusual to feel it right after a workout for me anymore. Me feeling sore usually tells me that I just beat the living hell out of the muscle; and thats a good thing. So nothing really major to update on; smooth workout today minus the cardio section. Tomorrow i'll go a bit earlier and try to get a jump on it so maybe I can heal up and get a shot of energy to do my cardio properly afterwards. And not become a useless waster knocked out in the Sauna.

Oh I forgot to mention my new PC is built and running brilliantly. There were quite a few hitches as to when I tried to get Vista to run; but after some help from my friend Marc who dedicated a whole day until 4 AM in the morning to help me out. We solved it. Thanks Marc; I appreciate it, whether you're reading this or not. Doubt it Lol. The computer works great now; and it's doing what I built for. To run Crysis at 1920x1080 on Very High with a smooth FPS of at least 30. I am very glad I spent at least 2 months researching the parts I was going to buy; because honestly it paid off big time. I'll update blog sometime this week with the full computer build process and some pictures. Stay tuned!

Never Before. The 666 Method.

Never before. Never before during a workout have I felt that sensation of "Oh Shit, I'm about to break something." Today's workout was intense you could say. It was also a first, for me unable to come back up from the incline benchpress. I had to let the weights go on the sides. Quite embarassing but I had some guys willfully come and save my ass before anything serious could happen. Never the less, this workouts 30 second rest time is definitely a hard obstacle. I was having heavy troubles towards the end of my sets, losing focus so bad that I couldn't even tell what set I was on and I would zone out staring at my watch. I do feel that the workout hit the muscles quite well though. I feel I worked them fairly well. However this workout seemse a bit too advanced for my level as of right now. Not that I'll let that stop me.

The workout demanded that I do 30-40 minutes of running afterwards. After the weight lifting section my body quite clearly told me to fuck off. I practiced a couple kicks in the bag room to spurt off what little energy I had left and went and chilled in the sauna. It felt great and I can feel my chest already throbbing from the workout. Staggering experience. I started doing this workout due to my friend Tae Kim who suggested it, we're both attempting this workout this week and from the looks of how its starting off. It will be a bumpy week for both of us, well more so for me. :P

My Birthday.

Hey everyone; I just wanted to thank everyone who came to Marc & I's Bday dinner and also those who wished me Happy Birthday today. As soon as Jennifer or someone posts pictures on facebook I'll put some up in here. I couldn't of turned 23 any better thanks to all of you. Thanks guys!

Computer Build.

The motherboard was finally decided. I decided, since I was going to go with Nvidia after all, I might as well get an Nvidia boarded chipset. This really not much to explain on this deparment, I know this computer build is getting kinda bland listing the parts so soon I will start by updating pictures of when I have the actual parts and showing the build process itself. I really enjoy the board colors if I must say. Very aggressive, one of the best looking boards on the market I believe. Although the price is a little heavy, it is one of the better boards on the market.

Definitely a pretty board. Now I just need to find some ram and finish it off with my power supply. I decided for ram and power supply OCZ is a great brand that I thought produced some great priced stuff with great performance. I was most likey going to let my Ram be OCZ as well with my PSU. I'll throw in some pictures under!

Here is the power supply that I Picked out. Also OCZ, but great for the price. 700W for $105.00. Great deal and I hope to be able to say later to recommend it. That's it for now!

Computer Build.

In terms of processing and overclocking; this card was too good to pass up. I had originally plan to go with the same card as my friend Marc which would be the AMD Phenom X4 2.6Ghz 9950 Black Edition. However; due to reviews of not so great overclocking and AMD Being bought out, I don't really want to be supporting this product exclusively. I'll list the picture below but, honestly who the hell cares about looking at a processor? They all look the same in the end.


In terms of cooling; I had opted to go with the Zerotherm; because to according to my trusty reviewers at www.bit-tech.net they were saying that their LG775 heatsink is the best on the market at max fan speed ;however the thermalright can do the same performance about without a fan; making it completely silent. Considering all thermalrights products are constantly sold out on newegg; I gave up on them and realized i'll go with the zerotherm. It won't be much longer until I end up going with watercooling after I sli later and start massively overclocking all of my rig.

Computer Build.

Well it looks like i've decided on a couple other parts as well. Mainly I decided to go with the BFG Tech GTX 260 OCZ Overclocked edition. I went with it; mainly because of my budget. It's almost identical performance to a GTX 280 and very close to a 4870X2, without the price drawbacks. Here's the picture of it. Looks pretty sleek; something that Nvidia is known well for.

Graphics Card of Choice :
BFG Tech GTX 260 OCX MAXCORE

Computer Build.

Alright so I'm having a bit of a hard time with the parts to buy; I've been researching for two months with a certain budget. Ever so slightly I keep running up that budget and now I think I can say I'm 90% certain this is my setup.

For the case I'm going with the :
Zalman GS-1000



























I've already purchased this so I'll continue with the Updates later.

First Post!

Hey guys, starting a new blog that's going to be dedicated about my workout log, gaming review log and personal computer modding. Most likely I'll be throwing in other random aspects of things I find interesting but stay tuned!
