    in What MA and rank are you? Comment by simont123 April 2014
  • ha thats my worry as well. I'm 6'2 but not a hudge muscle bound unit, but im not skinny either.

  • hey, I'm just starting to cut weight now for fights in the next 2-3 months depending on whether I can get matched. I suffer form the snacked in the day, sweets and cakes at work. I think trying to get rid of more than 2lbs a week will leave you tired and lead to injuries if you don't get your nutrition correct, well that…
