Physio session this morning then made the call to take an extra rest day today and push training back a day this week. Knee wasn’t too happy to it’s a good idea to give it a day to settle.

[Adam Bishop]

Rest day. Very chilled out morning as I got over the weekend’s travel and training. Got a couple of bits done around the house and garden while we still have the good weather. Physio and some more DB tomorrow

Great final session up north today. Worked up to a super easy 460kg pull from 12” before going through some Circus DB and loading medley work on the comp kit.

Very happy with how this prep has gone so far, feeling super strong and looking forward to going through my taper next week.

Rest day. Trip to the beach today for some walking then chilled for the rest of the day.

In the gym again tomorrow for some deadlift and events

[Adam Bishop]

Deload lower today. Body feeling good but stuck to the planned deload for lower movements for this week. I’ll be deadlifting on Friday which is a day early due some logistical reasons so make sense to deload for this one.

Leg Extensions 3 sets
Hack squat 3 sets
SL Leg Press 2 sets
Prone leg curl 3 sets
Standing calf raises 2 sets

[Adam Bishop]

Podcast and media bits filmed this morning then got some loading and stones done. Implements felt ok for the loading/wheelbarrow as did stones. Worked on transitions between the stones and keeping a fast tempo on the heavier lap and load reps

[Adam Bishop]

Rest day. On the road up north today. Got a “working holiday” for this week. Air b&b booked for the week and I’ll be training with some comp kit and catching up with my friends up north.

[Adam Bishop]

Seated Row 1 set
WG seated row 1 set
WG Pulldowns 50 reps total
Cable rear delt fly 1 set
