Broadband Speed Test (ADSL, Streamyx, TMNet)

Do use TMNet Speedometer anymore, it a lousy bandwidth test site, give a try to SpeedTest.net, it great!!

With SpeedTest.net, you are not limited to Malaysia servers in Cyberjaya only, you even can test your bandwidth with server located in USA and Europe. I had tested my Streamyx broadband speed with Penang server, and surprisingly, my connection speed is almost close to 512kb/s downlink and 256kb/s connection speed!!



That why, you see in above screen capture, I rated Streamyx 4 stars, because it really exceed my expectation!

Again, to get the true performance of Streamyx bandwidth, we should test with Cyberjaya server too. I did it, and the result per show in figure below (it contain link to SpeedTest.net for more detail info):

It still provide competitive bandwidth compare to Penang server connection for my 512kbps Streamyx package.

I further clicked on the stat, wow, PenangFone is the best broadband provider (or ISP) you could find in Penang Malaysia!!! See it yourself from the chart!!

Workout Tips For Abs

Advice: You should not work your abs every day. Your abs are just like any other muscle group if you are working them to exhaustion (which is the best way to develop muscle tone), they’ll need about 48 hours of recovery time between workouts.

Extra: When doing pumping, wide-grip give you best exercise for creating the "V" shape.

What Is Whey Protein?

Whey protein basically is a by product when manufacturing cheese. While the original whey (not go through additional process) nutrition fact consist of major carb and fat. Refer to link below for detail nutrition facts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whey

The Whey protein is protein process from whey, thus call whey protein. There are several methods to process whey, 3 major methods are concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate. Hydrolysate is the best way to extract protein from whey but the process is expensive. Thus both concentrate and isolate (better if compare to concentrate) are common process use by most supplement manufacturer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whey_protein

The Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein (or Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard) is protein process via isolate method (major content). While the manufacturer claim their proprietary stack include major content of whey protein from isolate process (Microfiltered and Ion-Exchange) and minor of concentrate process (Ultrafiltered). And very minor whey peptides, or whey protein process via hydrolysate method, label by Optimum Nutrition as HydroWhey Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides. All this process is to remove fat, cholesterol, lactose and carbohydrates, while increase the protein quantity per weight ratio (as high as 79% protein).
