The Long Road Back to Stage

Been wanting to get this log up and running for a while now, however due to inconsistent training I've put it off. Due to a re surge in performance, I thought I'd finally get the thread rolling and provide as much value as I can.

Current BW ~ 210lb

TD Macros - 3800kcals 375P/375C/72F

NTD - 3000Kcals 320P/140C/120F

For those of you who do not follow me on Instagram (jack_thorburn), shameless plug... I competed in both 2016 and 2017 within the BNBF and reached the British finals finishing 3rd within the jnr category and 4th in the heavyweights the following year. However during the 2017 prep things started to feel 'off' a I quickly started to lose strength and contractility of a number of key muscles within the body. This stemmed into training performance guttering and my sessions becoming a sh*t show.

However, long story short, I have battled (and still am) to work out what has caused this issues and how to overcome them. After a long 2 years, I finally feel like I'm making strides in the right direction and actually started to enjoy my training again.

This is merely me kicking the thread off and I'm really looking forward to providing as much of an insight into my life as possible; all things training, nutrition and anything else of interest.

Rest Day for me today, so apart from morning cardio, the day teaching in school and refereeing school football the afternoon, I've done my best to get my feet up ready for legs tomorrow.

Any more ideas you have for the thread please fire away and I'm looking forward to regularly updating.

Jack
