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.

yeah...but seriously, dont cut too much

you will make the rest of us look like rubbish..powerlifters that cut to low bf look ridiculously good. no homo

some consume 3000 - 5000 calories when they are bulking... completely unnecessary.

you mean they consume 3-5k calories in the gym? or daily? cos if daily, thats not that much dude.

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!!!

no offence was taken but this isn't the thread for diet advice. A lot of very good advice has been given and there are a lot of well read and knowledgeable people here. Feel free to contribute but contribute in the right context and thread.

Your bf is low, you have a very good base to build on.

You look proportionate, however don't skimp on the legs. You just need to continue lifting hard and eating well. You'll see noticeable gains.

Are you looking for help with diet/supplmenets/your training split?

If so, just shout, plenty of people here to help you along your way.

Although this is primarily a PC forum, i've found this single thread to be more motivational and 'pat on the back' style than any other forums regarding BB that i visit, their full of meatheds who think size =/= superiority!

Good luck on your mission to bulk out, it's fun huh?

I have just bought myself a decent bench some barbells and some dumbbells plus around 100kg in weights so going to do a lot of trainings at home and just go to the gym on odd days to change my routine and try some different equipment

This is the bench I have http://www.powerhouse-fitness.co.uk...ht-bench-with-leg-developer-preacher-curl.php

I have being following the exercise guides and tips from http://www.shapefit.com/exercise.html and its helped me loads in my lifting technique.

The hardest part is eating!

Im slowly getting there but it’s costing me £££ feeding myself haha! It sure is fun

2 months ago I bulked up to 172lb. I reassessed my aims and goals. So I've now cut down to 153.8lb.

Not quite sure how to pose with legs but I'm sure dun'll pop along soon

Squatting 100KG for 4X10 is mega tough whilst cutting. How do I it? My great deal of motivation. Yes, that one picture makes me move my ass in life.

TANK doesn't like it when people hide their faces

, but the problem is that it's not unheard of for people posting bodybuilding pics, to end up on gay porn sites and the like.

This type of problem is particularly evident for the likes of myself, who has millions of gay men crooning over their bodies

This is somewhat more of a problem if the pictures you put up are sans pants...
