If you can work some zero fat Greek yogurt into your diet it’s a winner.

I’ve mixed up to 125g with 300g yoghurt and it’s great, little gritty texture at that amount but I like it.

My pre bed meal is 250g yoghurt, 75g COR and 50g almond butter – amazing.

Unless your legs are very very weak I wouldn’t think you’d be able to load that set up sufficiently long term.

Personally I would go with a good old fashioned back or front squat. Heel elevated to target quads more. (Unless you have an injury that prevents axial loading)

In the immortal words of Kirk Karwoski “what’s wrong with squatting” (I know Big Rich on here will appreciate that reference).

Had my bloods taken this morning and sent off to the lab. Couple of days and I should get the results.

Rest day and a low key day for me. Not much done, enjoying a little down time before I travel up to the midlands for a sponsor awards dinner tomorrow. Will be a late one as I’ll drive home straight after it ready for training Friday morning

A night out in London (who the hell is this guy!?)

The wife wanted to go see Five in the o2 so as a good husband, I agreed to go. Secretly loved it even if it was a very different vibe to my last gig in the o2 which was Slipknot.

On the train home now, bloods in the morning.

Shouldn’t think you’d need it with meal 1 or post training meal as you should be suitably insulin sensitive.

So for me personally I would use it with m2,3 and pre

Physio session this morning working on both Achilles and calves plus my triceps.

With switching to my left arm on the circus DB press I need to keep my left tricep tendon happy especially while I get used to the movement a little better.

[Adam Bishop]

20mins stairs done this morning again, lunchtime dog walk to get my steps done and prepped some meals for the week.

Body is feeling great, got a physio appointment tomorrow morning to keep on top of things like my Achilles and tricep tendons.

[Adam Bishop]

20mins stairs this morning followed by clearing leaves and a dog walk. Steps all done by lunchtime and a chilled afternoon watching the rugby.

Back home after a couple of days by the lake.

Will do 20mins stairs tomorrow morning but no training this week as I’m taking the week off.

1 week till Brits prep starts

Quiet day on the lake. Fishing has been tough. One more night in the Bivvy then back home to normality

[Adam Bishop]

Rest day. At the lake for a couple of nights fishing. Peace and quiet currently being interrupted by various fireworks displays

Always sleep really well in the Bivvy, hopefully the fireworks end at some point so I can sleep

Final double training day before a week off. Early start to pick the wife up from the airport as she was running the NYC marathon at the weekend, then it was back home and into the gym for my first press session.

Started off with circus DB and Barbell press, 3 reps on the DB interspersed with 2 reps on the barbell. 3 sets of this to get the timing right. Will progress the weight nice and slow over the next 5 weeks then start pushing the pace.

Sports massage session around lunch time then back into the gym in the evening for my incline session:

Incline Bench Press 3 sets

Seated row 3 sets

EZ skullcrushers 3 sets

Cable Rev fly 3×20

Seated DB Press 3×20
