Tough training day. Body is feeling pretty run down and needs a break. Managed to hold it together and get everything done with the help of 2 scoops of DNFM.

Seated Pin Press – 90×3 (w/band tension)
Log press – 163×1 then ladder
Circus DB – multiple singles at 90kg
High Incline Bench Press – 160×3 145×3 130×3

7mm SBD if I want more support and a little rebound

5mm SBD if I just want some warmth for the knee joint and not so much support

[Adam Bishop]

Long long day up north.

Interviews and product shots in the morning then heavy events session in the afternoon before a long drive home. Unpacked the truck and it’s off to bed for me. One more session tomorrow then this training week will be done.

Deadlift – 385×3
Conans wheel – comp weight for an easy 360deg turn
Loading – anvil, sack and tyre into wheel barrow then 15m run with the barrow
Shield walk – two straight runs with the 195kg shield

All in all a good day. Felt strong on the deadlifts especially today.

[Adam Bishop]

Drove up north today ready for some SBD media bits and training tomorrow.

Nice clear drive up the m1 which is always a bonus. Spent some time in the sauna and pool to help loosen off a bit after the drive.

Excited to train on the comp kit for Europes strongest man tomorrow

Another great events session today and it felt like a breakthrough on the fingals finger tricep wise. Tried some banded seated lockouts, one of my favourite press assistance movements prior to going to the farm and I think it made the difference. No pain or weakness on the finger flips today. Bag toss, loading and stones all at peak strength and speed levels as well.

Seated Pin Press w/bands – 90×3 (plus 70kg at lockout
Bag toss – 20/20/25/27/20/20/25/27 for a top run of 8 bags
Fingals finger – light finger for a top set of 5
Loading – anvil, 125kg bag, keg and tyre for 15m in 34sec – new PB
Stones – up to 180kg on motion then a run of 100/120/130/150/180

Driving up to Yorkshire tomorrow ready for an SBD shoot and training session Monday.

Hi Yubin did your doctor order follow up blood tests?

[Adam Bishop]

Headed into deepest darkest Kent today to get my bloods and an ecg taken as part of my medical for WSM.

Ecg looks normal to my eyes but the doc will review it along with my bloods when I next see him.

Bloods will be back from the lab in a couple of days. I still need to complete the physical part of the medical for WSM once I get the forms sent through but I wanted to get the bloods done early.

[Adam Bishop]

Rest day for me today and my body needs it.

I’m off tomorrow to get my bloods and ecg done as part of my medical for WSM. It’s a bit of a drive but I’ve been working with my doctor for years now and he knows by body and my medical history exceptionally well.

We’ll see how the results come back but for now it’s an early night as I have an early start tomorrow for fasted bloods to be taken

IME foam rolling offers a reduction in pain and short term increase in mobility.

It will not change the length of muscles or fascia.

As a recovery tool I always prefer more active means such as low level cardio (usually brisk walking)

I tend to see it as a pre session tool if required.

Morning physio session where I got some treatment on my tricep and TFL. TFL is feeling pretty much back to normal and tricep was improved post treatment.

Back home and straight into my pressing session:

Log Press – 153×1 then 93/113/133/143 ladder
Circus DB – 90kg for a couple of singles
High Incline Bench Press – 150×4 135×4 120×4
Dips – 2 sets
Tricep hell w/chains – 2 sets

Played around with the positioning of the DB on my shoulder today as I’ve been struggling to get it sitting correctly using my left arm. Much improved by the end.

In the afternoon I had some soft tissue work done on my back, quads and adductors then took the dogs out on a 45min walk.

[Adam Bishop]

Very difficult to say for certain with out physical assessment and/or imaging.

See a doc and they will try and locate the tendon to ensure it’s still there.

For now rest up and avoid the urge to keep feeling/flexing it.

Bruising comes out in different time frames person to person and injury to injury.

[Adam Bishop]

Started todays session in the Barn with deadlifts and stone before moving over to the farm for the rest of the events.

Warm up and pulls felt much better this way round as expected. Deadlift reps felt smooth with plenty more in the tank.

Deadlift – 367.5×4
Stone over bar – 90×5 110×5 120×5 (one motions)
Loading – anvil, sack, keg and tyre all 15m
Shield walk – 167kg shield for 40m

Shield felt much more comfortable grip wise this week. Much more in the tank there.

Physio session tomorrow morning before my press session

[Adam Bishop]

Rest day today. Got my meals cooked for the next few days and took the dogs out on a long walk.

Busy day tomorrow with training and some general life stuff to sort so wanted to get everything lined up today.

Not much more to report really. Heavy training day tomorrow.

[Adam Bishop]

Events session at the farm.

Tricep tendon is a little inflamed so I decided to drop the fingals finger work this week to prioritise pressing on Tuesday. All events today progressed as planned and my stone lifting felt very strong. I always know by how easy the atlas stones feel where my strength is at and the one motion on the 180 felt very good.

Bag Toss – singles up to 30kg bag then a run of 20/20/25/27/30kg
Conans wheel – worked up to 5plates per side for 2 revolutions
Loading – anvil, sandbag, keg and tyre for 12m each in 37sec
Stones – one motions up to 180kg then a run of 100/120/130/150

[Adam Bishop]

Up at 4am to get over to Mirafit HQ to do a media day. Photos and videos with new products plus some interviews.

It turned into a full on day and I’m exhausted! Early night for me and time to catch up on some sleep!
