Ajmal's Story at TSquared Lab
Ajmal's Story at TSquared Lab
Ajmal, a 25-year-old auxiliary police officer, started his fitness journey with a desire to improve his health and overall lifestyle. Working in a demanding profession with irregular hours, he hadn't been to a gym before. "I work as an auxiliary police officer," Ajmal shared, "and this is actually my first time stepping into a gym." With no prior experience in structured workouts, Ajmal took the leap to transform his health and fitness routine by seeking guidance from Coach Joshua at TSquared Lab.
Ajmal's inspiration stemmed from watching the popular Korean Netflix show Physical 100. The show features extraordinary individuals demonstrating their peak physical strength and fitness. "After watching the contestants, I thought, why not try to have a body like theirs one day?" Ajmal recalled. The series motivated him to explore personal training options, as he recognised that achieving such goals would require expert guidance. "I couldn’t do it on my own. I needed someone to guide me," he admitted.
Being an auxiliary police officer meant Ajmal worked long shifts, often feeling drained at the end of the day. "The biggest challenge was finding time to commit," he said. However, he managed to coordinate his schedule by sharing his roster with his personal trainer, Joshua. "Joshua would schedule my sessions on my off days or before my night shifts," Ajmal explained. Despite being tired, he made it work. "That's the only time I could come, so I just fit it in."

Ajmal admitted his eating habits weren't ideal before starting his fitness journey. "It wasn’t easy at first, but Joshua advised me to simply eat healthier," Ajmal said. He started focusing on consuming more protein, such as chicken breast, and making better overall food choices. Initially, he would send Joshua meal photos for feedback. Over time, Ajmal gained confidence in his ability to make healthier decisions independently. His weight dropped from 87 kg to an impressive 69 kg, lost 10% body fat, his size dropped from XL to M and all while increasing his strength.
Despite being new to the gym, Ajmal quickly adapted to his workout routine. Under Joshua's guidance, he focused on foundational exercises that built his strength while reducing body fat. "It was incredible to see Ajmal's progress," Joshua shared. "His weight was declining, but his strength kept improving." This balance of weight loss and muscle gain is often difficult to achieve, yet Ajmal managed it through consistent effort and dedication.

For Ajmal, the changes weren’t just physical. He discovered a newfound confidence and determination that spilled into other aspects of his life. "It feels great to see the results of hard work," Ajmal said. The experience also highlighted the importance of discipline, something he now applies both in and out of the gym.
Ajmal’s story serves as a reminder that it’s never too late to start a fitness journey. "I never thought I’d be the type to go to the gym, but here I am," he said. His transformation has inspired others in his circle to prioritise their health. "It’s about taking that first step and sticking with it," Ajmal concluded, encouraging others to discover their true potential.
Building the right foundation helps you achieve your desired results.
Empower yourself with valuable resources related to training, nutrition, and well-being along with expert advice from world’s leading personal trainers helping you to address your unique fitness and health goals.
Longevity is the pursuit of living a longer, healthier life by making conscious choices that promote overall well-being.
Losing weight can often feel like an uphill battle, even when you are putting in your best efforts. It’s frustrating, disheartening, demotivating, and sometimes downright confusing. You might be eating right, and exercising regularly, yet the scale refuses to budge.
Consistency in training forms the bedrock of any successful fitness journey. It’s the steady rhythm of effort and dedication that leads individuals toward their goals. Amongst the myriad of considerations in crafting an effective training regimen or finding the right personal trainer, one question often looms large: How many days a week should you train?
Mental well-being is a complicated subject. Researching the topic for a while will net you countless opinions, tactics, and ancient Chinese secrets for how to elevate your well-being and lead a rich, fulfilling life.
In a fast-paced world filled with demands and distractions, one cornerstone of well-being often takes a backseat – SLEEP.
Reps In Reserve (RIR) are the number of reps or repetitions you can accomplish before hitting a technical failure or before you miss a lift. And technical failure means that you cannot do another rep without proper form. Therefore, RIR is an effective tool to measure the intensity of your workout.
During an exercise set, time under tension (TUT) means the amount of time a muscle is put under strain in a particular exercise. With UT workouts, each phase of the workout is extended, which results in longer workout sets.
When it comes to workouts, you need to consider various factors to create a workout plan. For example, to become stronger and how your training impacts your body. That is you need to choose the right exercise, and lift the right weight, do the right number of reps, complete the set, obtain the proper rest, etc.
Have you ever found yourself stuck with your training? You’re hitting the gym consistently, putting in the effort, and doing your best, but you can’t seem to make progress toward your goals?
With the steadily growing popularity of courses, group classes, and online coaching, personal training might seem like a lost art, but that is far from the truth.
Like most people interested in building muscle, you’ve probably asked others what the best repetition range is for the goal.
