Ni hao cortex, your lucky taining with buakaw/yodsenklai/narupol must have been awesome..yeh ive been to lumpini many times

actually the best gyms ive trained at are in phuket/samui/bangkok, ive been to tiger muay many times but its become overcrowded and very commercial now, though you do get to train alongside alot of the ufc guys..

Hear sinbi is supposed to be good, however down the road from tiger theres a little gym called dragon muay thai which has the best trainers ive come across mostly all ex lumpini champs...need to check it out if you do go to phuket..

Bangkok wise id say kaewsamrit has to be one of the best gyms, but much prefer training south in the tropics where the air is cleaner and your by the beach...koh samui WMC is also a great gym..

Training with rammon dekkers would also be good, you should check out remy bonjasky's place whilst your there...

If you need any tips before heading out to phuket drop me a pm..

Chok dee!!

Training in Phuket and Bangkok.

You do Muay Thai as well RSOT?

All you need is a small bench and free weights. I've been lifting in my room for 2 years now and i get the same results as i would in the gym. Working out the legs is a bit annoying the in house but your still able to do it. Here is my routine:

Monday: UPPER BODY
Traps: 4 sets
Flyes: 4 sets
Bench: 4 sets
Abs: 4 sets until failure each time
lats: 4 sets

Tuesday: ARMS
Bicep: 4 sets
Tricep 4 sets
Rear/side/front deltoid: 4 sets each
Abs 4 sets until failure

Wendsday: Legs

Calfs: 4sets
quads: 4 sets
abs: 4 sets until failure

THURSDAY: DAY OFF

FRIDAY: START THE CYCLE AGAIN


To gain weight you need to eat a lot. I take whey protein to help. But i usually try to eat 2 jars of peanut butter a day plus my 3-5 meals a day. I also take a supplement called Jack3d. But that is not something you want to use as a beginner. You should have enough motivation as a begging lifter.

To answer your question is that a good routine, i must say it is not. What you are doing is more of a warm up. You will not see any good gains of muscle with these workouts. You might see small gains but these gains will be VERY small. After about a week you will be used to the same workouts you do it and your workouts will be only for endurance. To build muscle and gain mass you need to lift weights. There is no question about that.


Forgot to add. You might want to check out bodybuilding.com and go to their forum. Definitely one of the best forums online for body building.

I wouldn't suggest using Jack3d as a beginner. You will only become dependent on it. I've been using it for 5 days now and the results are not the same. The first day i took 1.5 scoops. 30 minutes later i felt like a monster. I was doing SERIOUS lifting for about 2 hours. The power it gave me it kind of felt like a drug and the feeling was amazing. Now 5 days later its just not the same. It still works but not as the first time.

Basically what i mean is that you should have way more than enough motivation and energy as a beginner to use a product like this. This stuff is not good for you.

well i just found this old thread. just my 2 cents...
lately i've been doing p90x and have to say i couldn't be happier that i am doing it. into my 5th week now. if only i would've discovered this when i was taking boxing, i would be a supastar. boxing to me is still the #1 workout but i think p90x goes right along with it.

I like to do 20 or 40 reps with a vodka glass

Definitely works for me
