As salamu alaikum, peace be upon everyone, greetings & salam 1 Malaysia

Qalb Al Usud means Heart of The Lion or LionHeart in Arabic.

I would like to introduce myself, my name is Taufiq and I'm from KL. My history with health & fitness began since 2007 (I was 18) ever since a school junior of mine took me for a free-trial in a particular gym. I then started weightlifting until 2009 (with poor form & techniques, so naive), then switched to calisthenics (street workout) and created my own group of training buddies (working out together in a park) until 2013. I was known as MrCEO, k4lispeluru & 'parking' founder back then. Because of the park/street workout activity, it had resulted a lot of individuals to start bodyweight training. I developed an interest to be a personal trainer realising that I had the ability to train my friends and getting them results (calisthenics style). However, in late 2012, I came down with a shoulder injury due to competing which completely put a full stop on my exercising routines. Fortunately, I was blessed to be involved in business not long after which allowed me to recover while doing something productive financially. I was ready to start back training at early 2014. Sign myself up in a gym and have continued training until now. Only recently (almost two months), I started to learn the science in bodybuilding & weightlifting by following a physical therapist on youtube and it has allowed me to get gains (strength & muscle) that I never imagined so quickly (I suspect muscle memory played a role too). Enough talk, this section would be a journal for to track my progress. To start it off, I will provide my background (stats) & workout history in chronological order. I will also include my training, nutrition, supplements and probably something out of the blue that is worth of value once in a while in this topic. Please do post your comments. I plan to do this long term. From now on, I'm your friend and I would like to get to know you. Thank you for reading and having me here.

Inflicted injuries & Recovery rate (based on my estimation)
