Bicep Society: Flexing in Koh Sam

Wei Sing Goh

With veins popping and blood rushing through his arms, Ning Kang Chia (12), pushed himself as he finished his last set of bicep curls. Bicep Society is a newly-formed group of student-athletes dedicated to prioritizing their biceps as the most important muscle group to work out.

Upon reaching the beaches at Koh Samui, the members of Bicep Society, consisting of Hasung Cho (12), Jerald Lim (12), Wei Sing Goh (12), Ning Kang Chia (12), Woo Young Chung (12), Sam Huang (12), Keito Watanabe (12), and Sheldon Ang (12), decided to put their hard work on display by taking a group photo of all the members flexing. Standing in the warm ocean water, the members flexed like they had never flexed before. Arms were violently shaking in an attempt to make the biceps look as big as physically possible.

On the afternoon of the island hopping tour during Sneak, another group picture was taken at the peak of Emerald Lake. Again, the members flexed as hard as they could. With sleeves rolled up and ecstatic smiles plastered over their faces, they celebrated to the creation of Bicep Society along with the close bonds that were shared among the members. A third group photo was then taken at the very last minute on the boat ride back to shore after a long day of island hopping.

Although the sizes of biceps varied among the members, it did not matter. The goal of Bicep Society was to create a close community of members who worked out together and pushed each other to their limits. “Bicep Society is not and will never be a competition of who has the biggest biceps,” as stated by the founder, Hasung Cho (12).

When asked about the origin of Bicep Society, Cho (12) stated, “It all started when Jerald (12) and I realized that the true workout is not for strength, not for sports, but for the good looks that can be maintained in the future.”

Along with the great group photos taken at Senior Sneak (see below), the seniors had a great time in Koh Samui.
