The tradition stays in the family!

After Cris and Shen were nominated as one of the Cleo’s 50 Most Eligible Bachelor in year 2009, we now have another family member being nominated this year - 2010.

Yes! As most of you already knew, Pushmore proudly presents, Bachelor #34 – Julian Chow aka Jules!


Jules joined the Pushmore family back in June 2008, his first visit and encounter in Pushmore can be found here.

So, as a show of support to our family member, this is what you can do:-

1. Vote for him HERE;
2. Join his fan page (yes…He has a fan page!);
3. Meet & party with him on 17 April 2010 @ Laundry Bar, 12:30pm
4. Attend The Bachelor Bash on 30 April 2010 @ Zouk Club KL, 7pm

If the above points were way TOO complicated for you, you can simply show your support when you see him in Pushmore next time - look into his eyes, pat his shoulder, or give him a tight hug (at your own risk) and say “GOOD LUCK JULES!”

ALL THE BEST AND GOOD LUCK, BACHELOR #34!

********

Breathing Ladder

Breathing ladders are a very effective technique for developing cardiovascular endurance. People who are out of shape tend to get in a panicked state as soon as they breathe a little hard. As you will rapidly discover, the way to survive is to slow your breath down as much as possible, to get maximum air and to increase your rest period between each set. If you panic and breathe quickly, your rest period is decreased and you are quickly dispatched to the dustbin of history

Do one rep followed by one breath, then do two reps followed by two breaths, three reps followed by three breaths, etc. Breathe as much as you want while working. Breathe only the specified number of "reps" while resting.

Guidelines for PushMore 1000

1) Pull Ups : All Pull Ups must be in full range ie Chin PAST bar. If chin doesn't past bar, it is NOT counted as a rep. Be honest!
2) Push Ups :All Push Ups MUST break parallel at "elbow-shoulder" line. All partial reps are NOT counted.
3) Squats: All Squats must have hips dropping below knee angle, whilst hips remain at full(open) extension when completing the move at top. All "setengah-jalan" squats are NOT counted.
4) Sit Ups : Start position is arms extended overhead at lying down position. Rep is counted once completed with chest to knees.
5) Box Jumps : Ensure you stand up straight at top of box.
6) Walking Lunges: Knee to floor at every rep. Advanced: Use 20kg/10kg plate Overhead.
7) HSPU/Pikes: Use a mat as a range indicator for your head. Try doing head to floor if you can! Otherwise, more weight on your presses please!
8) Burpees: A clap at the top with a star jump please! Those doing the Mexican wave are required to redo their rep.
9) KTE: Knees to elbows!
10) Double Unders: If you can't double under yet, your options are Squat Jumps.


Should you require further information, do feel free to call us up to be super clear of our workout today.

It will take a longer time to complete so do allocate enough time for your workout plus berborak session .

And if you read everything till here, you should give yourself a pat on the back:
