I was born in 1979 in the city of Klang, in Malaysia. In the year 2000, it came to a point when I was terribly overweight. I weighed 90 kg (198 lbs) and had a waist size of 36 inches.

Forced by my mom and reluctant to go to the local gym near home, I finally gathered up enough courage to do so. I had no goals and no dreams of getting fit. I didn’t even know WHY I was going to the gym.

It was my first day at the gym which was the turning point for me - the instructor actually lifted my t-shirt up and revealed my fat stomach in front of the people there and in a way, embarrassed me. I’ll never forget that day. And I cannot thank him enough.

I was able to drop my weight to a remarkable 72kg (158 lbs) over a period of 8 months, and never turned back again after that. The results spoke for itself. People treated me differently, looked at me differently, and I never felt better in my life. I gained a liking and genuine interest on keeping fit and adding on some muscle to look better.

Today, I stand at 85kg (no I’m not fat again - it’s the muscle weight) feeling more confident of myself and happy with what I have achieved. Of course, I am still aiming for more, but it’s a journey that cannot be rushed.

With almost 7 years of experience (… and counting!) in fitness and weight training and dozens of Muscle & Fitness magazines (they’re stacked at home) later, I want to share my knowledge and hopefully inspire others to achieve what they never thought they could.

I hope that at some time in the future I may be able to assist or perhaps even inspire the average gym-goer/fitness enthusiast with my advice. The fitness world today (especially in Malaysia) is filled with fitness/nutrition myths, overpriced gym membership fees, personal trainers that are of no help (plus they drain your pockets!) and people walking around clueless as to how to lead a better and healthier life. It’s not that difficult at all. All that is needed is that initial nudge and the ability to overcome your biggest obstacle - YOURSELF!

For that reason, I have included and will continue to maintain within my site, as much FREE information regarding personal fitness and nutrition as possible based on PERSONAL EXPERIENCE and knowledge. Staying fit is not rocket science or as expensive as you may think. Whilst this is just general advice I hope that it helps motivate you to perhaps some day achieve your wildest dreams and goals.

I discovered a long time ago that if I helped people get what they wanted, I would always get what I wanted and I would never have to worry.

If you would like me to help with achieving your goals, or have any specific questions/areas you need help on, I would be more than glad to assist you. Just drop a comment on this site or send me an email with your concerns to author(at)dailymuscle.com. I do my best to reply all emails within a week, however due to the volume of email received &/or personal circumstances, it may take longer. Your understanding & patience are greatly appreciated.

Welcome to my world.
