    Jeez 52? You short or skinny?

    Nice work on the weight gain though. I went from 65kg to 90kg so I know the struggle

    Short and skinny ha! I’m 5ft3”, I was a powerlifter in the under 52kg’s so always kept my weight low but taking a break from that now for this. First few kgs flew on but I’m struggling now. Wow fair play with your own weight gain that’s brilliant! Send a few of those kgs my way ha!

    I'm 6'1 so I went on a bit of dreamer bulk and hit a fluffy 95 at one stage. Currently trying to keep the weight at 90 and the cardio up for all the tests.

    If you stomach can take it start pounding milk/protein shakes after meals

    Yeah milky protein shakes are my best friend these days. Thinking I will start taking a mass gainer if I get through the online tests, don’t want to do that to myself until necessary. I’ll be raging if I’ve piled it all on for nothing. Had to completely cut out cardio, I’m only running once a week to make sure I can still do the run within the time limit.

    Are you going for the Air Corp?

    There's a minimum weight? Never saw that in terms and conditions. Is that AC only?

    Not sure about the army or navy but for AC there is a minimum weight of 65kg. It used to be 50kg but they bought new cartridges for the ejector seats in the training planes that have higher requirements. So perhaps army and navy are still 50kg...
