Down to about 235 pounds or 107.5kgs.
Strict dieting.
Strength progression has slowed right down, but looking better in the mirror so all is good.
benching 100kg x 3, squatting 120kg x 4. Not real impressive i know and I was lifting more but the caloric deficite is killing me!
Probably another 7-8kgs and I'll start eating a bit more.

No, I want to play in the second row and If I can get down to 100kg and stay there, it will be happening cause i'm 6'2" and have great hands.
If not I could always lean bulk back to 106-108 and play loosehead.310 Pounds down to 218 Pounds.

6'2 100kg's you could make a good #8 at club level couldn't you? Rumbling off the back of a scrum you would be hard to stop

honestly the way foward at my club is in the second row!310 Pounds down to 218 Pounds.

Good job man - Im sort of wondering where I will end up - I will be a fairly lean 100kg's at 5'11 - mates have been telling me to maybe have a crack at no.6 - but then Im being told that the club I want to go to needs props and I have pretty much always played loosehead prop....so abit confused lol.
At the end of the day im just going to get in the best condition and be the strongest I can and see what happens pre-season...if I end up prop, flanker whatever im not bothered aslong as I do my all to get into 1st 15!Vision is purpose, and when your purpose is clear so are your life choices.

^^ thanks pal.
Still doing west side for skinny boys 3. Haven't put on much strength but looking better in the mirror, plus i'm absolutely loving the program and putting inches on my vertical leap, still stuck around 108kg but leaned up a little bit.
Been taking in more protein and l-gluatmine.
lifts still the same, only thing that is going well is stiff legged dead lifts - 100kg x 6 reps. Bench and squat stuck due to caloric deficit.
Thinking about giving that intermitent fasting a go...Any thoughts. Pretty desperate to get a beach body on.310 Pounds down to 218 Pounds.

I would never fast - I would just drop cals for a few days/ a week and increase cardio...

Getting bodyfat done with calipers at the gym, i reckon it will be as accurate as a blind dart thrower, but i guess it will be good to get a guage of where im at (ballpark anyway) also to track progress.

I laughed hard at this, and I have no idea why.Originally Posted by beertank23
But depending on the examiner, and their skill level calipers can be accurate or way far off, like you said. And glad to see you're making some progress, dude! That's awesome

Upped the cardio, trying to get shredded for the aussie summer. Also got my US visa, going to to be playing some rugby in the united states, this comp coming up in january.
One good thing with dropping all the weight is i'm painstakingly close to dunking the basketball now, i can hang onto the rim, just 1 more inch i reckon, also i've gotten a lot better at baketball since becoming more athletic. WS4SB3 is a ****in top program for building insane athletes, but i reckon 531 for football is better for building TIGHT 5 rugby players.
Start pre season conditioning on thursday, hill sprints, tyre flips, sled drags.
Every ounce of fat on me is located on my love handles and gut, looks ****in disgusting.It depends where the fat is located.

Keep it going mate. I played 2 seasons in the UK at ~95kg at loosehead and hooker... after always lining up as a 110kg tight head. And the props over there are bigger than over here.. Also the game over there is geared towards big fat forwards.
Having a mobile prop here in Oz is a big boost for any team. It makes your production (tackles, rucks, hit ups) in general play so much better. Sure you might not be as overpowering in the scrum but it's worth it IMO.
