How to Lose 5 Pounds in 3 Days

Yes I tried, and it was successful. To lose 5lbs in 3 days, you should do the following: 1. have as little sleep as possible; 2. skip breakfast and eat as irregularly as possible; 3. stress till you sweat.

No, I'm not kidding. But if you know me, I'm always about gaining weight and never losing. It took me almost a month to go back to 175lbs from 167lbs, now I have to eat like a pig to try to put back some weight which I suck at. As regards the sh*tty lifestyle I had last week.. well I was working my arse off for my end of term thesis, literally didn't sleep at all, just took a couple naps here and there. Finally got that crazy 9000 worded bastard over and done with. Literally stressed myself dry. To be fair though, we had a whole year to consult our supervisors, do our research and actually write the paper... I don't even want to mention WHEN I started..



The whole point is, however, not about how I deal with my school work. Its about how everything comes with a price. There's no shortcut in life, I can't procrastinate and be rewarded for my procrastination. You always have to pay your dues. Similarly, you cant lose weight without going through some physical hardship, in most cases, following some strict diet and going to the gym. The thing is, most of us pick the easier path at the expense of our potential to becoming a better individual. And that sucks. That is why you see Mike Chang everywhere on Youtube. Whereas Dave Tate is only getting 10% of the views Mike Chang receives.

As I mentioned earlier, my current training is quite unstructured because of the approaching of exams. I'll just try to hit hard whenever I get the time to train. Going for 1RM or 3RM PR for bench and squat/deadlift, and maintaining my upper back strength. This week I only benched a bit and did some upper back stuff.

Tried a narrower grip for my bench press. a bit wobbly at first but i think i can handle more weight later with this grip than a wider one when im used to it.



By the way, we didn't win this year. We beat CUHK but lost to HKU by a couple points. I was proud of my team though, everyone poured their heart out and did their very best. My parents and girlfriend came and I'm glad that I scored some 20 points in a game.
