My house mate has tried to get me to join in the local rugby team with him "Arun FC" but I wear glasses and I'm pretty much blind as a bat without them lol. Thanks for the kind words everyone I have such little self confidence its pathetic.
Your an absolute animal, ever thought about contacts even if its just for when your training and playing?

I was in the same situation regarding the glasses until I discovered the contact lens.
Being able to do kickboxing or any other full contact sport is awesome, it's like you're a whole different person.
Would be a pity not to give rugby a go with a physique like yours.

Without being rude to anyone here, I would say that there are a few that could do with the balance of diet and training. To be perfectly honest, if you want to see real gains you have to control your body fat levels and that can be the most difficult. Infact, I would say its more difficult than the training itself as its harder to be disciplined, especially when you have worked out hard... your body wants to eat!!
I would go as far as to say that training without a decent diet is a complete waste of time. You will not see the gains that you have achieved which in turn will see a lot of people lose there motivation... Its also a bad habit.
Eat right and train properly and you will enjoy much more progress.

Dude you're looking awesome.
You planning to cut?
You've got nothing to be unconfident with that amount of strength and size of muscle mate. That'll be a psychological thing, because physically, you've got nothing to worry about!!
Hoping one day to be as tankalicious as you, tank by name, tank by nature!!
As for the strech marks, i have them too mate,but meh, i see them as a progress report ;P haha

You're right man, i trained for a year without even watching my diet, didn't get any bigger, well maybe a little. But it was only once i sorted out my diet gains were actually appearing noticably.

I hope you're taking the **** else you're being rude and disrespectful and I won't have you posting like this in this thread.
There's another thread for gym "advice" - I think you'll find that the majority of people here know a damn site more than you probably realise.
You're advice is basic at best and serves absolutely no purpose in this thread.

looking mountainous tank, very powerful. Not sure how much of that youd retain cutting natty but even if you hit ~20% bf youd still be one of the bigger naturals around! Those saying you need to cut/get on a treadmill etc have no idea how hard it is to stay your kind of size while dieting or how psychologically difficult it is to deal with loss of size and strength once your at a good level either.
Here, here - we can't have you losing any strength - all our benchmarks of beastliness would be screwed.

Damn right!
Also if I know anyone here would love to have tank's strength, lord knows that if this guy EZ curls me I'd love to have even half of his strength.
I'll happily do 2hrs on a cross trainer 3x a week although it kills my wieght sessions so I do 30mins after every workout followed by 100 sit ups on my gym ball and 100 crunch twists, **** or bust they get done
.Thank you and yes slowly dropping the lbs weekly although it hasn't hit my strength yet I know it will at some point
. No strict diet as such just keeping it down to four beers a fornight and cutting out all the crap IE no bread, pasta, rice. Really have a liking for turkey/chicken at the moment in a homemade Thai green curry

It was not so much advice, just an observation. In no way was it meant to cause offense and I apologies if it did.
But lets be honest.. go to the gym and see some people lift weights that have been training for years and still they are in need of "basic" advice. There posture alone will lead to some serious problems.
I mentioned diet because there are still people who do not believe how important it is. I've seen guy eating in the gym, some consume 3000 - 5000 calories when they are bulking... completely unnecessary.
So again please take no offense, I just wish someone had kept pushing that home to me when I started training.... that's all!!!
