Have a search for small 12v cool boxes. You can get these with mains adapters or you can even run them off power packs if necessary. I’ve taken these to expos while travelling on the train no problem.

6 weeks till the world deadlift champs

[Adam Bishop]

Good session over at Ultraflex Derby today with Big Rich. It’s always a little difficult finding a place for me to deadlift as I need the thin plates to get all the weight on the bar but ultraflex was perfect. No deadlift bar unfortunately so pulled on a standard power bar which was stiffer making the pulls a little harder than usual. Worked up to 470kg from the low blocks (12” bar height) and it moved nice a smooth. Well ahead of where I was this time last year prepping for the deadlift champs.

12” Block Pulls 470×1
Pulldowns 3 sets
SA DB Row 2 sets
Seated WG Row 2 sets
DB reverse fly 2 sets
Reverse pec Dec 2 sets

Afternoon press session looked like this:

Incline bench Press 3 sets
Incline DB Fly 2 sets
Cable fly 1 set
Push Ups 1 set
Incline DB Curl 2 sets
EZ Bar Curl 2 sets
SA Cable Curl 1 set

Then off into London to catch up with some school friends and now I’m on a train up to Leicester visiting family for the weekend

[Adam Bishop]

Rest day. Heading into London tomorrow evening to catch up with some friends from school so got my meals prepped so I can take them with me. Then I’ll head straight up to Leicester for my father in laws birthday so once again meals have been cooked for that too.

We are back!

Great couple of days training, deadlifts are moving well as are my pressing movements. Knees felt up to doing some lower today at physique warehouse and they didn’t hurt too much which is a win. Busy couple of days coming up which I will update you on tomorrow.

Rest day. Great day spent next to the pond enjoying some fishing. One more night to go before I head home.

Found a swim with plenty of tree cover and a decent wind blowing into it so very chilled in the hot weather.

Couple of events this morning then sports massage at lunch time. Did a total of 16 bag throws for distance then two rounds of a loading medley with four implements.

Now I’m out sleeping under the stars next to the lake for a couple of nights.

Big jump in bodyweight and holding a lot of water with the heat. Not the best for moving about tbh so will try hard to get some of this off in the next couple of days.

Rest Day.

Back and hips a little beat up after yesterday’s deadlifts. Food is a little bit of a struggle in the ongoing heat but still managing to get the meals in as planned.

Earlier start tomorrow for physio before I present an online seminar.

[Adam Bishop]

Seated DB Curl 2 sets

Back in my gym today for deadlifts off the blocks

[Adam Bishop]

Rest day.

Knee still sore so did some icing and put some tb500 and bpc157 into it to help with the inflammation. Finished the day feeling much better.

Struggle keeping hydrated today in the heat. 150kg plus in hot weather is not the one.
