I'm not too bad Marco, about 18% body fat. I'm a weightlifter/powerlifter etc so not interested in low body fat etc but certainly not a fat blob! Just a naturally big lad (probably through 16 years of competitive rugby) and then 11 years of competitive weightlifting etc...Hehehehe... It's far enough away for just doing a 'jolly jape'. Different if I was involved in a competition
Is that 22 stone of muscle then, not including the big bit between your ears? Haha...
I'm just a mere 'tot', in comparison, at 6ft 2ins and 15 stone!
Marco.
Still, as me father in law says, I'm better at blocking out light rather than letting it through

Aye I started off as a No.8 and developed into a lock forward... Fortunately I learned to tape my ears from a young age so I'm still pretty
Lifting hasn't caused me too many issues thank god. Hurt my shoulder in 2013 and still having a few niggles but seeing an Osteo and a sports physio has done my a world of good!
But decided having this year off competing would be beneficial just to recover properly otherwise I'll mash myself good and proper and end up needing surgery (which I really don't want)!
I do a lot of coaching as well for lads looking to get involved in power and strongman comps so that keeps me busy and in perfect form as I'm teaching techniques so need to be able to show I'm actually able to 'do' and not just teach!

Yup, plus I get paid
But I love it so if the lads show commitment I stop charging after their 1st 6 sessions and just take it from there
No doubt I'll lose some height in my older age but alas I'm only 35 so not doing too bad so far

Dan, it irks me at my gym watching pts getting novices to deadlift with rounded backs etc. These guys are paying them for their knowledge and so trust them with their health and even i can see they're doing it wrong.
