What an undeniably sick weekend🏅

Little photo spam from .barton at First Timers UK, getting a placement in the Classic Tall Division🫡

Again a testament to how he has handled the prep, was awesome to see him and his family there to celebrate such a great showing!

If you’re thinking about competing in natural bodybuilding, I’ll be opening up a few spots for prep and offseason coaching - drop a comment or dm me “CLASSIC” and we can run through the process⚔️

WNBF First Timers - Rory’s First Competition

Absolutely class showing from Rory yesterday, stacked lineup for first timers - and still walked away with a 5th Place💪🏼

Rory came to me in November weighing in at just over 99KG, in the 6 and a bit months we’ve been working together we saw a low of 76.8KG - with that 22KG drop in weight, Rory brought an incredible condition to the stage🤯

Honestly extremely proud of him for what he’s achieved🏅

There will be a spam of pictures incoming soon👀

Welcome back to episode 2 of me hitting:
- Pendullum Squat - 170kg x 7 (2 Sets)
- Stiff Legged Deadlifts - 150kg x 4 (2 Sets)
This time with a special guest of “almost a 5 rep on my SLDLs”, we’ll get em next time🫡

⏳15 Days Apart⏳

By far the hungriest day I’ve had of prep yesterday…🥲

But with that came a new low and new lines etched in, at this point in prep hunger is part of the package - Sometimes I think it’s overlooked at how much mental resilience is actually needed to get to stage condition⚔️

Sometimes it’s the voice in your head..

“You’re not lean enough”
“A refeed wouldn’t hurt”

Sometimes it’s even the lack of energy & struggle to spend quality time being present with your family…

It’s so important to have a strong network of support around you, this year has been a lot easier mentally and physically than last year. But either way, I can’t thank enough for putting up with me and supporting me through these times❤️

Great things await, get me on that stage 28th June⚔️

❌ No Excuses, Just Action ❌

Rory came to me in November wanting to compete in a bodybuilding show, safe to say we’re 3 days out and he’s shredded⚔️

Building from the peak of his bulk to where we are now, he’s lost a total of just over 21KG (46 lbs) - honestly he’s handled it really well, we took it slow and steady whilst working on his posing while working together💪🏼

Beyond excited to see him on stage this weekend, he’s put in the work and now it’s time to execute💥

we’re coming for ya😤😤😤

🏋🏻‍♂️ .barton

💥Compounds of the Day💥

Pendulum Squat - 170kgx7
SLDL - 150kgx4 (PB)

Both for two sets, along with my accessories being:
Leg Curls, Single Leg Leg Press, Calf Raises (Leg Extension is broken🥲)

Not bad at all for 24 days out👀

📍Pull Day

⏳4 Weeks Out

Not every session is gonna feel perfect when fatigue is high, new low weight today @ 76.8KG. Holding onto as much tissue as possible, not long till go time ⚔️

POV: You’re self coaching through prep and time your refeed for a pull day🫣

What Can Change In 4 Weeks?💭

With a difference of 5.5KG in 4 weeks, as expected looking noticeably leaner this morning - I’ve heard people ask what can change in short amounts of time before and honestly it depends what you put into it, you can make incredible progress within a month or two by just dialling in food and training. But most people either don’t make that choice or don’t know how🤷🏻‍♂️

If you’re currently in a rut and want to make some real progress comment “PLAN” and I’ll be in touch to see how I can help💪🏼

Around 5 weeks out, LETS GET IT🫡
