8 Week Comp - BigYon

[Big_Yon]

Hi All,

Thought it high time to start logging my progress and use this thread as more of a motivator for myself and the others who have jumped onboard. very keen to see how everything pans out! good luck to the other lifters!

Little info about me:

Age 40
Nationality - Maori/English
height 6'5
weight 140kgs

Relocated over to Melbourne from NZ about 16 months ago with my wife - haven't looked back since.
Have been involved with the powerlifting scene with NZ and AUS since 2011-2019 now I take more of as hybrid style of training with more of a focus on bodybuilding
last 8 weeks or so I've taken more of a Dorian yates/mike Mentzer approach with my training with higher intensity and shorter training sessions my joints have thanked me lol. I have a training partner that's half my age so the banter and gym sessions have been really good so far

Nutrition has been around the 80% mark so there's room for improvement
Currrent cals is 2700 - will write down what the meal break downs are in another post - aim will be to Carb cycle, Higher carbs on leg and low back days lower carb for the rest of the days

Training Split

1. Monday - Upper back / Abs
2. Tuesday - Muay thai pad work
3. Wednesdays - Quads / Calves
4. Thursday - Muay thai pads or recovery session (chiro/physio etc)
5. Friday - Lower back / Hamstrings
6. Saturday - Chest / triceps / abs
7. Sunday - Shoulders / Biceps

Goal is to drop another 5kgs over the next few weeks and maybe get some sneaky rep PBs while I'm at it!

Solid base there bros. 2700 cals will probably do the job as long as consistency stays tight. The Yates/Mentzer style training is a good call.

Will be following for sure. Best is to log the meals and progress each week. Will be good to see how the carb cycling plays out.
