Hold Your Own

HYO athlete stepping on stage today at the Brisbane’s.

🥇 1st – Novice
🥈 2nd – 30+
🏅 4th – Open

Something you don’t see in the results though is the journey and improvements Jay has made in the 18mths since last stepping on stage putting on 3.4kgs of lean mass.

This is no surprise though with Jay’s commitment and discipline not just over the last 18mths but something that was forged years ago through his time in the army and his boxing background. Early mornings, structure, resilience, doing the work when no one’s watching. All this while being a father and family man.

It’s not just about the results it’s about the journey and Jay’s journey is one to respect.

Proud of you mate. This is just the beginning with more shows to come and refinements to come.

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

Huge congratulations to who this past comp season decided to jump into her first season of competing and over back to back weekends competed in 3 different competitions/federations in her first ever season taking out the OVERALL win in Fitness at the 🏆🥇

Chantell came to HYO 16mths ago with the ambition to work towards competing for the first time. The first 10mths were used to build and ingrain good habits that are needed during prep and laying those foundations paid dividends with one of the smoothest preps you’ve seen, especially with nutritional adjustments needed and in the end we were able to even reverse diet up into the first comp. This is a testament to Chantell nailing the big and little things in prep and the hard work she put in.

With her season over now we’ve taken on the feedback from judges and headed into a build phase to grow some muscle in the areas needed and start planning for the next competition season.

Big shoutout to these 4 incredible humans who have competed over the last few weeks at the @icn_nsw Coffs comp and the @icnqld Queensland championships. They all have had incredible journeys which is even more impressive than the success they all achieved, all not only placing in the divisions but getting success with getting some 1st places🥇🏆 I look forward to seeing the progression that they will all make with the hard work they’ll no doubt put in over their respective improvement seasons. … Coached by @nathanwallace_ If you are looking at competing in 2023 or beyond get in contact today to have a chat about your options and remember that an impressive physique is built and created well before the dieting phase and also leads to a better set up prep phase. To get in contact either visit our website www.holdyourown.com.au or email [email protected] or direct message.

Huge shout out and congratulations to HYO client .carter83 Andrew Carter who yesterday competed in the ICN - ACT competition.

It was a roller coaster of a ride this prep due to covid with lockdowns, gym closures and as comps were cancelled and pushed back, however the determination and mental toughness Andrew showed to not throw it in and keep pushing on, in hopes that a comp will eventuate, is inspiring!

Despite all that he managed to bring his best to the stage far surpassing his previous physique he brought back in 2015(last pic👉🏼)

The placings are almost irrelevant compared to what was achieved through the journey but he did walk away with 2x🥇, 1x🥉in the 3 classes he entered.

Well done mate!

Huge shoutout to member the new Open U72kg national champion after an epic nationals meet over the weekend!
We are so proud to see her win her weight class with 15kg deadlift PB securing the win!
What’s even more remarkable is Selina is only a junior and she was able to get the win while only going 5/9 lifts missing a few lifts we’ve seen her do in training so it will be scary to see what she can do in the future!
Coached by her partner in crime and HYO coach 💪🏼 we are thrilled to have such an elite powerlifter in our team!
Squat -165kg
Bench - 85kg
Deadlift - 185kg
