After acquiring my dumbbell set back in January, I needed something more. There are muscles that cannot be effectively trained by dumbbells. So I consulted my buddy Kwang Fei and he strongly recommended me to get a barbell or a curl bar set. One day he called me up as he was going to get more plates for his curl bar and asked if I was ready to get my own set. On! I said in an impulsive way and simple as that, I got my curl bar set.
Part of the deal was for him to teach me how to utilize this new investment of mine and for me to film him working out in his home. I have made two videos and uploaded them to YouTube for sharing (not director status so I can’t upload anything that is longer than 10 mins). If you are into weightlifting, I hope that these two videos are of value to you.

Dear ole Kwang Fei… long time haven’t met him man. So it was him who got you touching each other’s, erm… muscles, at Sim Lim Square eh.
Nice homemade videos. Btw, how heavy is the single dumbbell he first lifted in the first video? You’re right, he’s REALLY strong.
Btw, your background commentaries are funny man! Haha.
Oh, the single dumbbell was very light to his standard. It was 6.5kg but he lifts much heavier than that.
Glad that you enjoy the videos 🙂

Been looking or a barbell set but could not find it at retail. Even Sports Connection has not returned my call. Maybe I did not look hard enough. Could you let me know where you got your set?
Thanks
Ken – In Singapore? You can try Aibi. They have a pretty large store at the basement of Vivocity (I think it is still there) and have stores in major malls too. I bought mine there.
