Today marks my 15th birthday. One year older! And somehow, for the first time in all my 15 years, I find myself at a loss for words. I look at the past events, all the things I’ve done, I’ve experienced, and I’ve achieved these last few years, combined with all the blessings I’ve received along the way and for whatever reason, I am honestly speechless. I sat down to write this thinking that it would be a simple birthday post, then the whole feeling hit me.
Trying to push the whole ‘speechlessness’ thing aside hasn’t really worked, so I thought it would only be best to dig a bit more into it. And doing so has led me to realise that maybe, just maybe, this time around, after having reflected on my previous years, I’m meant to be speechless. It’s my cue to take my metaphorical slate, wipe it clean, and do something different by branching out - may The Almighty open up more doors for me!
Admittedly, challenging myself to try new things and trudging forward is not an easy job; in fact, it does seem rather daunting to myself at times, which is why I couldn’t consider myself luckier to have been accompanied all this while by my parents - Mrs Mom & Mr Dad - my two closest companions. To be quite frank, ‘lucky’ doesn’t even begin to encapsulate the blessing that Mrs Mom & Mr Dad are. With any path I have taken, they have always given their utmost support, and I know very well that with any path I choose to take from now, they will not only give their invaluable support, but expert, one-of-a-kind guidance.
Such an incomparable, unique and personal support system has given me the self-strength that I needed to challenge myself more. In past years, I’ve prayed to God for health, happiness, safety, and other abstract concepts along the same lines. For this year, I think that the only thing I’d really like (aside from that eternally-treasured spot in Jannah for me and my loved ones) is opportunity. After my pondering, and my realisation of the opportunities I’ve had and how they’ve panned out, I pray for more chances at using opportunity. Let’s see where my 15th slate takes me this year.
Happy Birthday To Me,
O. Mukhtar O. Mukhlis

How you’ll find me between serious sets 🤐📵
-
I don’t take my low RIR working sets lightly. They require my all, and putting that into them usually leaves me feeling like my head, lungs and target muscles are about to explode 🤯
-
In the past you’ll have seen my obsession with breath work and this scene right here is probably my most effective use for it other than calming myself down to sleep or just be less stressed 😌
-
I first got the idea from listening to the @muscleintelligencepodcast years ago. I’m basically meditating, using my breath work to bring my heart rate back down once it’s been through the roof 📈📉 This allows me to recover as quickly as possible to throw everything at another set.
-
I’ll then get up and go for a quick walk to get blood flow circulating ♻️ and start thinking about how I’m going to execute my next set before returning to carry on. Obviously if I’m training with someone the walking = spotting / motivating etc.
-
It’s the main reason why my phone derails my workouts. I don’t go into this mode, focused on my breathing and maybe a cue or technique that had slipped during that set 🧐
-
Focusing on counting my breaths also keeps my mind out of the abyss of bullshit that work and women can have circling in your head if you’re sat daydreaming for 3 minutes between sets 🥴
-
I’ve heard many people say “oh, the gym is like meditation for me” but I’ve never heard anyone other than @bpakfitness talk about it like this. I know that for me, if my rest periods don’t require this, I’m not near my limit. That’s not always necessary anyway, but it’s a good gauge 🎚

The Cue-ing and Do-ing of Vertical Pulling with @tompurvisptrts
-
I don’t usually care to post videos of myself training. I can never imagine why anyone would want to watch it 🥱 This is a little different though.
-
I’m not sat on an ordinary machine.
1) Tom has played with both the resistance and effort cams on this machine to match the profile of the difficulty of the machine to the approximate strength of my movement at the END of a set 😰
-
2) The straps are custom pieces of equipment from www.contractiontools.com in place to remove my elbow flexors (biceps) and grip from the equation by placing the load on my humerus (upper arm) 💪🏽
-
3) There’s some pretty high-level cue-ing going on. This is NOT how you would cue someone who has limited experience - those basics and the superficial “why” behind them is taught on RTS1. Tom has intentionally left out dozens of cues that he’d use on someone less rehearsed. “You have to know what you’re looking at, and what you’re looking for.” This is an example of getting the very most out of a rep with someone, who at the same time admittedly had never used this setup before but had a large amount of internal ownership of their body 🙏🏽
-
Everything needs to be considered in context before even considering regurgitating it in application. It should provide plenty for thought though and a good coaching example to follow... or at least listening to me squeal should provide some amusement 😅

Lyrics: Sarah Koay
Chorus 1
There are no straight roads in this city
They watch us drop and they’ll have victory
You do or die and nothing in between
You watch and learn, it’s lose or win
Verse 1
Hey boy, I know what’s going on in your mind
You chased your dreams and now you’re saying good bye
What about the things you did and made you shine?
But now you’re packing your bags at half past nine
Lose or win, you gotta give it time
There are no straight roads that lead you to the mine
They are windy, curvy, like graphs of cosine
Coz Santa gives a ride, not to the naughty but the nice
There’ll be some rough times when you think it, you regret it
All the stars that shine on screen, they fake it till they make it
The winners up there, they work it till they slay it
Work my bod real hard coz I wanna be a Brad Pitt
Drive a polo down the coast, but it cost a bummer
Throw me a rock and I’ll show you how I butcher
I run where the roads take me and be a slayer
Show me what you got, are you a lamer or a swagger
Chorus 2
There are no straight roads in this city
They watch us drop and they’ll have victory
You do or die and nothing in between
You watch and learn, it’s lose or win
Verse 2
All the haters hatin on me as if they’ve got the nine
I ain’t good enough, I ain’t deserving the lime
My burning anger burns fury hot like gasoline
Coz I know all good things that happen do take time
I always wanted to be the better, be the best
I will make myself worth not any less
Coz the life’s always a challenge, it’s just a test
Down to earth is my belief, where I reside, it’s my nest
They tell me friends ain’t everything,
Watch yourself, do what keeps you running
No matter what stops you, just keep on singing
At the end of the day, you reap seeds of winning
They’ll keep you down low, make you a loser
Till nothing comes to mind but only failure
Kick your legs, stand back up
Don’t let them make you drown, drown, drown coz it matter
Chorus 3
There are no straight roads in this city
They watch us drop and they’ll have victory
You do or die and nothing in between
You watch and learn, it’s lose or win
Verse 3
Down town, the lit up city is a bustling
I wanna dress up to down, down with the bling bling
Not only just me, but light myself in gleaming
You see me in pain but I’m on the road to winning
All the souls haunt me down in threes
All the people who once made me believe
Triads of you watch me drown in seas
But no, I don’t live my life to please
Lies, one by one I’ll hunt them down
I’ll watch you as you find your way to hide around
Drown me in tears, put me in fears in ghost town
All I heard was your lame cries that sound
Beep beep, I’m on stage but where are you
Gold medals’s up, they’re shining brand new
I don’t need you, I don’t need a cue
There’re no straight roads to winning, I don’t amuse
Chorus 3
There are no straight roads in this city
They watch us drop and they’ll have victory
You do or die and nothing in between
You watch and learn, it’s lose or win

Still can't believe I wrote the lyrics and recorded in 2 days, although I have to admit that I procrastinated for 3 weeks and made it in time to submit 3 days before the due date heheh. Anyway, enjoy the video! Toodles!
