If you ask personal trainer and fashion photographer WAI TEIK, the road to a #revengebody also involves “eating KFC once a year”.
For folks who consider ‘round’ as being in shape, well, personal trainer Chan Wai Teik is here to change your mind. The 46-year-old is a competitive bodybuilder and an award-winning fashion photographer who had cameoed on reality shows such as SuperModelMe and Asia’s Next Top Model as the designated lensman for the contest’s glamazons. When he’s not juggling photo projects like his first solo photography exhibition titled ‘Offerings’, Wai Teik also runs an eponymous personal training business (@waiteikfitness on Instagram) where he transforms people like office folks from flab to fab. So whether you are thinking of getting into #beastmode or simply just want to survive climbing your office stairs, this 1.69m-tall, 94kg hulk has some hacks for fitness noobs to get started on working out.
1 Having the right genes is half the battle won
Yes, it is very unfair, but if you want a ripped physique, being blessed with athletic genes helps a lot. According to Wai Teik: “There are people who spend a lot of time training certain body parts like the calves, but they just can’t develop [muscles]. When it comes to bodybuilding, half the [result] is due to genetics.” So if you have naturally skinny legs, you know to spend extra time on #legday, okay?
