[QUOTE="Kellini, post: 242899"] Hey guys this is my first post here so go easy :P I'm also looking to convert to a flanker (possibly)! My situation is almost the same as the OP; i'm 17, a winger/centre who is very fast and good at tackling. However I don't know the intricacies of the ruck or any specific rules to being a flanker. The main reason for the change is because I used to play centre a lot more, and now on the wing I miss the contact and confrontation that I enjoy so much! In terms of physical change, I guess I have to bulk up a bit? I'm naturally quite strong but nothing spectacular. Here are some pics I took in Nov 08, not a lot of change since then: [url="http://i40.tinypic.com/oivjh4.jpg"]http://i40.tinypic.com/oivjh4.jpg[/url] [url="http://i40.tinypic.com/2iqy2yx.jpg"]http://i40.tinypic.com/2iqy2yx.jpg[/url] High weights, low reps sounds good. Which particular areas should I work on? I currently want to work on my chest (pecs are flabby :( ) Cheers for any advice [/QUOTE]
