I’ve bumped up my collagen supplementation as I’m recovering from injury.

I run it year round anyway as i find it beneficial during heavy periods of training when I’m doing predominantly strongman events which are super stressful on joints

Back in the gym for my pull session in the barn:

CG Pulldown 143×6 106×11
Seated Row 143×8 106×12

Weighed in at 138.0 this morning so no weight lost during my week in France which is great. Got back into the swing of things with a trip to Lidl for some food followed by prepping a load of my meals.

Stick with your PL programme – you had good results on it before and when getting back into training after a short break it’s good to go with something familiar and a programme you enjoyed.

[Adam Bishop]

Back home in the uk and ready to get back in the gym tomorrow.

Pull session with some reps on 300 – perfect Sunday session.

[Adam Bishop]

I echo Rich. Take a rest day in the middle

Final night of the fishing trip. Head home tomorrow.

Definitely what I needed and I’m ready to get back into training and diet from Sunday onwards. Looking forward to the next 16 weeks

Survived the rain and got my calf work done:

SL Calf Iso 3×45”
SL calf Raise (cluster set) x5 rolling 20”

Enjoying the break but ready to get back home and back to a routine. Heading back over the channel on Saturday

[Adam Bishop]

Apologies for the late daily post – my phone has switched providers and stopped working so I have no signal next to the lake.

Hoped up to the lodge to get on the WiFi. Nothing much to report, rained for a full day so trying to keep dry.

[Adam Bishop]

It would be the same as anyone working full time and training.

Be organised with your training, food and studies and it will be very straight forward

[Adam Bishop]

Nah take it every day

[Adam Bishop]

I hardly take anytime between my warm up sets.

As the guys above have stated it’s very individual and you should take whatever rest time you need.

Unless you are unbelievably unfit you shouldn’t need much time between warm up sets IMO

[Adam Bishop]

Got my calf raises done next to the lake today:

SL calf Iso 3×45”
SL calf raise (on step) cluster set – 5 reps, rolling 20”

Moved the calf raised onto a step now as my physio is happy with my ROM at the ankle. I’ll still do my testing from the floor but I’ll use the block to do my calf raises now and just go to a range I’m happy with.

[Adam Bishop]

Slept 10.5 hours last night which was good.
Didn’t catch any fish which was bad.
Hopefully they turn up tonight haha.

Super tiring first day after a long day travelling. Got to the lake this morning and got everything set up.

Now I’m in my sleeping bag ready to get an early night
