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!

Any gear/cycle on this log

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.
