SINGAPORE - Meet this week's hot bods - university student Sofia Mo, 21, and content specialist Cornelius Tang, 26.
Sofia Mo, 21
University student
Height:1.6m
Weight: 54kg
Exercise regimen
I work out four to six times a week at Gymmboxx, clocking a four-day powerlifting programme each week. Whenever I have extra time, especially during my semester breaks, I try to dedicate an optional two days to rehabilitation and active recovery.
I believe that consistency, diet and good rest are key to better recovery and performance.
Diet
I am not particularly strict with what I consume, but I try to hit at least 100g of protein a day to help with muscle recovery.
I eat anything and everything I want, but in moderation. To me, a "healthy" diet is not just for the body, but also the mind. That is why once in a while, I reward myself with a Mr Coconut drink, chocolate cake or bubble tea to keep my spirits up.
Cornelius Tang, 26
Content specialist
Height: 1.74m
Weight: 79kg
Exercise regimen
I squat and deadlift twice a week. I also bench-press with different variations - changing up the grip, tempo and feet position - four times a week at Gymmboxx.
Diet
I have been bulking recently to take part in a heavier weight class at powerlifting competitions, so I have to eat more calories than my maintenance phase to ensure I hit the desired protein intake.
As I have a small appetite, I go for more calorie-dense food that provides more calories for the same amount of food. I also eat at least two servings of fruit and vegetables daily, which can be easily done by ordering a large serving of vegetables at my neighbourhood economy rice store.
