10.10.12 Update

Hi everyone. I'm finally making some time to update this blog. I'm thinking of making a website to organize things a bit. It takes time to make these blogs and I guess I've been updating my facebook fanpage a lot more since it's easier to post things here and there. (http://www.facebook.com/hanhchampionz) add me if you haven't. 

So this summer I turned 26. The end of this year will start my 7th year working out consistently. I've gotten up the highest about 198lbs this summer. I've ate out a lot so it packed on some weight. Now I'm back maintaining 182lbs and trying to stay a bit leaner. Here's an update of some things that have been going on and also some of the toys I've bought and sold.

May:

I parted out and sold my M3 coupe back in May.

 June:  Jenny and I took a road trip for my birthday to Pensacola & Destin, Florida.

In Pensacola, Forida.

Jenny testing out the water. It's very clear here!

We rode around on the island and stopped here to tan.

Forgot my suglasses.

My truck I picked up after I sold my M3 coupe.

Part 1 of our trip. Mostly driving.

Part 2 of our trip. This one has better clips.

Sold my track bikes this summer as well. I think I'm done for now.

July was 2 years that Jenny has been with me. Also it's been 2 years with me making videos on youtube! Time sure does fly.

This summer a few people I met wanted to start an exotic car rental business.  Needless to say it was a failed business venture. So I really don't want to go into details as it's a long story. So please don't ask.

I visited JK films new office while I was in California. We got a few workouts in that you can checkout on Bart's youtube channel:

Frank, Bart, and I were thinking of opening a gym in California. This is one of the properties we were looking at. Unfortunately at the time we don't have the time to start this up. Hopefully in the future we can make it happen.

At Frank's house. He's definitely got some crazy size/ definition for not taking any type of supplements! Diet & intense workouts are the key.

I randomly met Jay Cutler at SD zoo!

I missed my M3 and wasn't using the truck to haul the bikes around so I traded it in for a supercharged M3 sedan. DCT transmission this time since the 6speed was too much work when I'm tired. It's almost like combining my red 325i and my M3 coupe. Best of both worlds.. besides the fact it eats up so much gas. I'm pretty happy with it so far and it fits me perfectly.

Sold my R1 I picked up earlier this year. So right now I only have an FZ1, my M3 and a bicycle. lol

I shot a video with Chris Jones. He's been messaging me for a while to get a video with me but I have so many message I didn't get to it til now.

Check out part 2 here. The actual workout

This is part 1. Pretty boring.

I was invited to a BBQ at a gym out in Red Oak, Texas. Big J's Extreme Fitness (Intensityville) This was my first time trying axle bar dead lifts. It's alot thicker than normal Olympic bars and requires more grip/forearm strength than overall body strength.

Big J and I. Probably one of the nicest big guy's I've ever met.

Check out the video here.

I filmed another arms workout video that I haven't edited. It's very difficult to film and workout at the same time. It took me almost an hour and a half just to do this when I can just workout for half the time. Also editing the videos take time for me as I'm not an expert at it. I'm slowly making some progress there from just learning on my own.

April 07 2012 Update

Hey everyone. It's been a while since I updated my blog. We're up to 677 subscribers now!

I hope you guys made good progress and use out of my blog. I don't really have any more info to post at this time but I need to finish the basic exercise guides on the link above. Yeah.. I'll get to it.

For now this post is just an update to keep my blog alive :)

We all have our reasons why we want to achieve our fitness goals. I purchased my first motorcycle when I was 16. I weighed next to nothing (maybe around 120lbs) compared to a 400lb machine. It was very difficult to handle or even move the bike around in the garage. I knew I needed to gain weight to handle it.  Today I am 185lbs which is pretty much way over my goals. However it does add the confidence and make it less difficult to ride.

A really long time ago with an Aprilia RS 50 I painted.

At Motorsport Ranch Cresson  on March 2012. (This  was the bike on the last youtube video I uploaded) I was still setting this bike up at the time.

Freshly painted and some new accessories and hardwired for keyless ignition! I spend a lot of time in the garage. lol

This is actually quite a workout. Which is where the term "sport bike" comes in play. You use your whole body to maneuver the vehicle.

I often get asked: how do you not fall going so low?  Well think of it as a bicycle.. if you're sitting still then it wants to tip over. If you are pedaling fast it wants to stay upright. So basically the motorcycle is going fast so it wants to stay upright. You would have to lean it to get it down.

Currently working on a new project.. 07 Honda CBR 1000RR. The Gsxr600 needs more power for me. I'll see how this one goes.

01.27.12 Update / giveaway

Hey everyone. Its been really busy.  Working on bikes, training people, and working on closing in on a new investment property.

Anyways I'm going to give away supplements like I said I would :)  
(I was drunk making that last video).... really.




Giving two if these away. Leave your email below. First two posts gets it.

It's good for bulking. Not good if you're high in fat.

New years / Vancouver trip update

Happy new years everyone! Well I'm still in Vancouver right now and just set up a new PC for Jenny so I have time to make a blog now. I'll be giving away some supplements here on my blog when I get back home. It'll be on my blogspot only because you guys that are reading this are the intelligent group of people. Knowing how to read and write is more important than being big.

I'll be posting just blog updates here. I know people like pictures. lol. For anything work out related I will post on the link pages up top. (training guides) I know I have a few more to write when I have time.

Downtown Vancouver

Stanley Park

Jenny got me a new watch!

Training one of my clients in Richmond

New Canadian money.. its partially clear.

Downtown.. it rained all week.

One of the best gyms I've found in Vancouver thanks to Vince. It's actually in Richmond.

Sport Central gym- awesome place to train. Lots of heavy weights and people don't bother you. They keep it pretty clean.
It's almost like a bigger metroflex in Canada.  I would recommend.

Gym and a bar in one place??

Dumbbells go up to 160lbs. The grips are a bit big but it seems these weights have been barely used.

This is a meal they made from the bar / grill there. It was so good I ended up eating two plates. lol

Downtown.

asian mall in Richmond.

lots of carbon fiber here.

downtown.

Training a client at Richmond Oval. This place is huge. Too clean.. lady bitched about my gym bag. So I wouldn't recommend.

Statue at Richmond Oval.

Bellevue mall in Seattle

Driving back from Seattle

At the border.

Well that's all for this update.

advice for money.

Hey guys.. wow I just checked and there's 500 + followers on here so I guess I should update.

So this post is not about working out but it is related since building your physique will cost money. 


I wanted to share this article I read a long time ago I found off yahoo. It will give you a better understanding about what NOT to do.

10 reasons for not building wealth.

1. You care what your car looks like: A car is a means of transportation to get from one place to another, but many people don’t view it that way. Instead, they consider it a reflection of themselves and spend money every two years or so to impress others instead of driving the car for its entire useful life and investing the money saved.
   
2. You feel entitlement: If you believe you deserve to live a certain lifestyle, have certain things and spend a certain amount before you have earned to live that way, you will have to borrow money. That large chunk of debt will keep you from building wealth.
   
3. You lack diversification: There is a reason one of the oldest pieces of financial advice is to not keep all your eggs in a single basket. Having a diversified investment portfolio makes it much less likely that wealth will suddenly disappear.
   
4. You started too late: The magic of compound interest works best over long periods of time. If you find you’re always saying there will be time to save and invest in a couple more years, you’ll wake up one day to find retirement is just around the corner and there is still nothing in your retirement account.
   
5. You don’t do what you enjoy: While your job doesn’t necessarily need to be your dream job, you need to enjoy it. If you choose a job you don’t like just for the money, you’ll likely spend all that extra cash trying to relieve the stress of doing work you hate.
   
6. You don’t like to learn: You may have assumed that once you graduated from college, there was no need to study or learn. That attitude might be enough to get you your first job or keep you employed, but it will never make you rich. A willingness to learn to improve your career and finances are essential if you want to eventually become wealthy.
   
7. You buy things you don’t use: Take a look around your house, in the closets, basement, attic and garage and see if there are a lot of things you haven’t used in the past year. If there are, chances are that all those things you purchased were wasted money that could have been used to increase your net worth.
   
8. You don’t understand value: You buy things for any number of reasons besides the value that the purchase brings to you. This is not limited to those who feel the need to buy the most expensive items, but can also apply to those who always purchase the cheapest goods. Rarely are either the best value, and it’s only when you learn to purchase good value that you have money left over to invest for your future.
   
9. Your house is too big: When you buy a house that is bigger than you can afford or need, you end up spending extra money on longer debt payments, increased taxes, higher upkeep and more things to fill it. Some people will try to argue that the increased value of the house makes it a good investment, but the truth is that unless you are willing to downgrade your living standards, which most people are not, it will never be a liquid asset or money that you can ever use and enjoy.
   
10. You fail to take advantage of opportunities: There has probably been more than one occasion where you heard about someone who has made it big and thought to yourself, “I could have thought of that.” There are plenty of opportunities if you have the will and determination to keep your eyes open.

Update December 04. 2011

Hey everyone. It's been a while. I've been busy and finally got the PC updated ! It's almost the end of 2011. I made this blog for a year now and it's come along way. Hopefully I'll find some time to add some more material. For now just an update of what's been happening.

October- My car was totaled. Stupid kid hit me while I was sitting at a stop light. So spent a lot of time trying to get insurance to pay for it and going to chiropractor. 

November- Jenny came to visit me :) We're outside of Galleria mall!

Still fitting time in to workout. I'm just trying to maintain right now. I'm around 190lbs. Highest was 194lbs.

Lots of shopping for Jenny.

New set up for the PC.

That's all for now. Hopefully I'll get some videos up soon. It's a lot faster to render the videos now. lol
I'm also going back to Vancouver on the 22nd! Hope it's not freezing cold?
