Hey Tatsu,
Thanks for the kind words. That pic was in mid 2011 if I remember correctly, was about 106 kgs there.I was a little chubby and could lose some fat but that was my bulking phase and I did get strong. The heaviest I’ve been was 113kgs which was when I was strongest. Nowadays walking around at 105 -107 but leaner mainly coz I eat like a bird.

Your question about my goals got me thinking about the fact that wrt training I do not have a specific one at the moment which apart from work and life,contributed to me spinning my wheels these past few years. I mean I do want to look like I train, be able to move heavy shit and also not get hurt but that’s about it.
